1. Get reservations for Father’s Day Brunch

There are many fabulous places for brunch in Savannah, Georgia, so why not grab reservations with the whole family at one of these popular spots on Father’s Day?

Collins Quarter has two locations in Savannah — one in Forsyth Park and one Downtown — and offers a diverse array of options for a healthy brunch, including Black Forest French Toast and Shrimp & Grits, as well as refreshing mimosas and house cocktails. The Ordinary Pub is another popular lunch spot that serves heartier meals, such as Morning Mac & Cheese, Smoked Salmon Tacos, and a Brunch BBQ Biscuit. 

2. Cool off with ice cream at Leopold’s

June usually sees a spike in both temperatures and humidity in Savannah — which means staying cool is of the utmost importance. One of the best ways to keep the whole family cool and satisfy your sweet tooth on Father’s Day is to stop for an ice cream cone at Leopold’s Ice Cream.

Leopold’s Ice Cream is an iconic ice cream parlor in Savannah that has been serving homemade ice cream since 1919. Some of the most popular flavors include Butter Pecan, Rum Raisin, and Tutti Fruitti. One thing is for sure — your dad will be sure to find a new flavor he loves on Father’s Day at this popular dessert spot in Savannah.

3. Throw back a cold one at a local brewery

If your dad is a self-proclaimed craft beer enthusiast, planning a brewery-hopping tour to some of Savannah’s best breweries for Father’s Day may be a fun way to spend the day.

Southbound Brewing Company is one of the most popular breweries in Savannah, GA, with a taproom that serves pints and flights — and it is dog and kid-friendly, so the entire family can tag along! The brewery’s two award-winning beers are the Hop’lin IPA and Mountain Jam Southern Lager, so be sure Dad gives these a try before trying some of the limited-release and pilot batch beers.

Service Brewing Company, a veteran-owned craft brewery, is another popular spot to stop for a beer in Savannah. They serve two year-round beers — the Compass Rose IPA and Rally Point Pilsner — as well as rotating seasonal beers and beers in research and development.
