Customization & Combinations

Customers can mix and match flavors, creating personal daiquiri combinations. The bartenders are experienced in pairing flavors and suggesting popular combinations for those unsure what to order.

Beyond Daiquiris: The Full Drink Program

While daiquiris are the specialty, Wet Willie's also serves:

Tropical Cocktails

Creative rum-based cocktails featuring tropical fruits, coconut, and vacation-inspired themes that complement the fun atmosphere.

Beer Selection

A rotating selection of domestic and imported beers, including local Savannah breweries, appeals to those preferring beer over cocktails.

Non-Alcoholic Options

Frozen smoothies and tropical non-alcoholic beverages allow non-drinking visitors to participate in the fun.

The Atmosphere: Fun, Energetic, Unpretentious

Wet Willie's succeeds because it doesn't take itself seriously. The bar celebrates fun, tropical themes, and the simple pleasure of enjoying drinks with friends. Décor includes palm tree motifs, vibrant colors, and tropical imagery that transports guests mentally to a beach paradise.

Music & Energy

High-energy music, often featuring current pop hits and party favorites, creates an animated soundscape. The bar attracts a social, celebratory crowd ready for a fun night out.

Waterfront Views

Large windows and outdoor seating areas provide stunning views of the Savannah River. Watching boats pass, sunset colors, and evening river activity adds natural entertainment to the experience.

Social Gathering

Wet Willie's is fundamentally a social space. Visitors come to connect with friends, meet people, and participate in the vibrant River Street nightlife scene rather than seeking quiet, intimate conversations.

Age ranges typically skew toward young adults and middle-aged visitors seeking energy and social connection.
