Roaming around downtown St. Simons looking for a bar, one of the guys in our group recommended Blue Water. Â We'd just been to Brogen's the night before, so we wanted to go somewhere different. Â On a Saturday night, you'd think the scene would be hopping, but it was the opposite. Â The entire ground level of the restaurant was closed and the upper level was sparse with customers.
Where was everybody? Â Brogen's? Â Rafters?
To be fair, Blue Water seemed more like a restaurant than a bar. Â It's certainly a lot nicer than the aforementioned bars. Â Blue Water's bar is located on the second level and it's long and lined with plenty of TVs. Â Outside out back, there's a rooftop patio, which is cool, except no one was out there.
The manager, bartender, and servers were friendly and accommodating to our group. Â Our group was so big, there weren't enough seats at the bar for all of us, so we split up between the bar and some of the smaller dining tables. Â I almost felt like we were disturbing some of the quiet dinner dates some couples were on when we rolled in. Â Fortunately, we were a pretty tame and mature group.
I enjoyed my time here, though if you're looking for a true bar atmosphere (like we were), you should head elsewhere.
My husband & I had lunch here today. We had a burger and Ruben sandwich. The burger was amazing! It was huge, loaded, hand partied and cooked perfect. The Ruben was served on marbled rye and was very tasty as well. We sat at the upstairs bar. The bartender was excellent and the service was top notch. Can't wait to go back and try several other dishes.
