The Olde Marbles
Tucked into Chippin’s Hill, this intimate wine bar blends elegant marble surfaces with Lowcountry warmth and an ever-evolving regional and Old World selection.
Chippin’s Hill, one of Savannah’s more discreet yet deeply historic neighborhoods, gives way to a warm glow at The Olde Marbles—named for its original Carrara countertops, still gleaming today. The space balances restraint and comfort: dark wood floors, plush banquettes, and soft lighting keep things unpretentious even as the wine list impresses. Its location amid residential streets adds to the feeling of stepping into a knowledgeable friend’s living room—only with a curated cellar.
The wine program emphasizes Old World varietals and small-production Southern bottles, with a leaning toward sustainable and biodynamic producers. Each glass pour is matched with seasonal small plates that highlight local produce, seafood, and charcuterie—think preserved peaches with goat cheese, pickled okra, or smoked trout on rye toast. The chef’s seasonal rotating menu means no two visits feel identical, but the balance of sophistication and comfort remains constant.
Happy hour runs weekday afternoons, drawing nearby residents and professionals looking to unwind. Arrive by 5:30 p.m. for prime window-side seating where you can watch street life unfold without the rush of downtown crowds. Weekend evenings fill quickly, so walk-ins are accommodated on a first-come basis if space allows—but reservations ensure a seamless experience, especially for larger parties.
