Beer selection is amazing. Â Asked for a smooth porter on draft and that is exactly what I got. Â Closest thing to Guniness the I've had. Â Little bit sweeter, but will definitely get again. Â Â Friend got something that tasted like strawberry. Â I kept taking sips of it, though I would probably not order one on it's own. Â
They do not serve food here, so eat before or plan to eat after. Â Live music on Friday night was lively if not a little loud. Â
The only problem was the service. Â It was dreadfully slow and the server did not know much about beer. Â Honestly, he should probably be doing something else for work. Â Just didn't have the right personality or knowledge for a place like this.
This place started off strong and fizzled fast. Â Excellent and diverse selection of draft beer, probably 40 or 50 and several times that number of bottles...several pages in the well organized and laminated beer menu dedicated to educating the beer novice with definitions of ale and beer, descriptions of various varieties, etc. Â We waited at a table for a few minutes before the waitress came over. Â She delivered our beers fairly quickly, including my free check-in beer shot, which was a house blend, really nice refreshing summer mix, and then promptly disappeared, never to return...though i saw she was still there, and had not left. Â My wife actually went shopping for 40 minutes and our waitress never returned while she was gone or after she came back...we had to go inside to close out our tab...it was not very busy, so no excuse for such horribly inattentive service...I will chalk it up to young and inexperienced help...they need to address this. Â Otherwise would be a nice spot to satisfy your craft beer cravings while meandering through historic Savannah.
Review Source:You know the drill if you know anything about World of Beer as the franchise that it is. Â You are gonna find just about any beer you could imagine. Â The bonus with this location is the fact that it's in one of the greatest drinking cities in America, Savannah GA.
This one in particular is a two level bar and the bar on the street level is really huge and long. Â The only drawback with any bar with this much variety is the decision factor. Â Sometimes that many choices makes for a very hard choice. Â Thankfully they have some solid bartenders that will help you out if you just let them know what you normally like.
The night we popped in there was some really great live music happening. Â I've been to other WOB's and honestly had never seen a live band in them. Â That was unique.
It's a big ass, loud, fun bar. With a HUGE selection on draft, plus two even BIGGER cases of bottled boozy refreshments from around the world. Score on the Check In offer of a 4oz "shot" of any draft you fancy! I'd say the only con to this place is they don't carry Hangar 24. One could only hope that someday they will. Def a fun place to check out if you're in Savannah.
Review Source:Boo boo boo. I was extremely let down by the service.  Girl didn't want me messing with all of her boys at the bar.  With a wave of her hand and a shake of her head she  shoo'd me away!  I went to my seat and waited for a server for 15 minutes.  After no one came to take our order we left.  I came to my conclusion about Savannah  and this tourist town.  Less like home and more like "Meh"
Review Source:World of Beer is a great beer bar in Savannah (OK, I think it's a chain but I've only been to the Savannah location. Â They have a good rotating selection, lots of choices on drafts, etc. Â I wouldn't say that they ever have anything exceedingly rare or unique - but they have a good selection of craft beer.
They have a large amount of space with tables and a bar downstairs and a bunch more tables and booths upstairs. Â They don't serve food, so it's really all about drinks. They do have mixed drinks if you don't want beer - but seriously, the whole point of coming here is the good craft beer. Â
The staff are very nice and they'll let you try samples of beer if you are not sure what you want. I've been a little disappointed that the "beer specials" are usually the crap beers and not good craft beers. One interesting thing they have is beer shots - the St Bernardus/Framboise shot was pretty tasty.
All in all, a good craft beer bar and nice to have in downtown Savannah.
As you would expect, the beer selection is enormous. Â They had something like two dozen beers on tap, and the bartender was friendly and willing to let me have a free sample of any of the on-tap beers. Â They have a giant-block Jenga game for anyone to play. Â Also, I got a good Yelp deal for checking in.
Review Source:Great beer selection - draft & bottles of many craft beers which rotate regularly. Fun environment with lots of TVs. They do not serve any food though, so be sure to make plans to go to dinner at a nearby restaurant. We got Beer Shots when we checked in on Yelp and they were delicious! Definitely a favorite place of ours in Savannah.
Review Source:Order pizza from Vinnie van gogos(they deliver), while enjoying WOBs amazing beer selection. If you like pumpkin beer, they have a great one topped w/whipped cream and rimmed w/cinnamon! Excellent as a dessert beer. They also have a great live band that performs on the weekends. WOB was so much fun and they have so many beers to choose from.
Review Source:Definitely a solid beer offering - very rowdy/outgoing vibe, even though it was barely 5:00 p.m. on a Saturday.
The service was very, very, very slow, but polite when it was there. Â We got a beer shot, gratis, because of our check in. Â A cool idea, but not sure they actually taste like what they're supposed to care. Â Getting a pass on this, because they were free.
Pint prices were expensive - I think everything was $6 or greater...
After eating a great dinner, we debated on where to head next. After seeing World of Beer pop up on my app, I wasn't interested in going anywhere else. So, we walked here and found a seat at the wall table behind the bar. I gazed in awe at the long, chalkboard draft list and two huge coolers full of bottles. Once I came back to reality, I ordered a SweetWater FestiveAle, a winter seasonal made in Atlanta. We all hung out for awhile, watching the numerous TVs and BSing before heading out. With hundreds of selections, WoB could keep my beer snob interest for many more visits.
Review Source:Wow, great selection of beer. Â At least two dozen beers on draft, and probably 75 or more in bottles. Â I make it a point to find good beer joints when I travel, and I was astounded by this place. Â Great warm interior, and at least 6 LCDs TVs to keep you entertained if the beer's not enough. Â Outside of Atlanta, I doubt there's a better beer selection in Georgia in a beer bar.
Review Source:I usually associate beer to over bulging bellies and the horrible after taste of cheap liquor. If you're like me the  you should be pretty much uninterested in going to a place called "World of Beer", right? Wrong! All I have to say is "Ace of Pear" cider (think Welch's apple cider with REAL liquor).
I literally screamed when I tasted it. I lost my reason to look down on the females that guzzled beer to fit in the guys ( by the way, I hate those girls).
Thumbs Up: WOB Â has a huge variety of flavors;expect your taste buds and liver to have a blast. The floor plan always makes it feel like it's a packed house (up and downstairs).
FYI: Thursday is their "Ladies Night".
Thumbs Down: Does NOT serve food.
To me, this place is the equivalent of the movie "She's All That", the 1999 cinema classic starring Rachel Leigh Cook where the football player makes a bet that he can turn the nerdy young woman into a prom queen.
When I first walked into this place, it seemed like the equivalent of the aforementioned nerd. It seemed self-conscious and insecure and I was thinking "This place isn't all that". Â But I made a bet with my friends that we'd have a good time, just like Freddie Prinze in the movie. Â So I gave it a chance. Â There were few early missteps (messing up my beer order, not having the first two things I ordered on the menu, taking two people to open a bottle of wine) but I let them go and tried to visualize the place as the hot prom queen.
Slowly, the metamorphosis happened. Â First, the bartender didn't charge me for the beer error (so I ended up getting two beers, score!). Â Then they had a great singer named Josh Johansen (sp?) playing and it got even better. Â I found some other beers I liked and my non-beer-drinking friend had some great wine.
Based on that experience, we came back again and had even a better time. Â The bartenders seemed nicer and more helpful. Â The crowd was friendly and they had an even better band playing. Â We also got to hang out with Andy (#2 on the beer wall) who was super cool.
We had such a great time I wanted to start a flash mob dance party right in the place, just like in the prom scene* of "She's All That". Â
*Sigh* Â I'm sorry World of Beer, I should have looked beyond your initial goofiness and realized you had true beauty inside all along. Â All it took was just taking off your glasses and letting down your hair to make me see you truly are all that. Â
World of Beer, will you go to the prom with me?

The beer selection is fantastic. Â The crazy beer shots are interesting (Yelp deal alert!). Â If you like suds give this joint a try.
It is a chain. Â I am not a corporate fan, as you may know. Â I like this joint due to it having 3 things. Â One, outdoor seating, this is a must here in Savannah, GA where people watching is a sport. Â Two, this place offers lots of draft beer and three, is staffed with knowledgeable beer loving bartenders. Â
I hate it when I ask how something is and they say, "I don't drink beer." Â
I also love that I can have a small sample of the beer. Â I love that I can come back and try something new next time. Â Yay! Â
Why am I not here all the time? Well, because it is missing something.
What is this place missing? Apps. Â As in appetizers. Â Why no food? Really? Â How can I have some great beer with nothing to nosh upon? I guess they don't want a light weight like me to hang around all night. O'well. Â
I see you there, if only for one beer.
Wow, what a great place! It is true, they have hundreds of different beers from around the world. I was worried at first though, walking in with a gluten allergy, but come to find out -they have a handful of Gluten Free beers to choose from. I had Greens blonde ale and the dark amber, both come in 16oz bottles. As much as I'd love it if they started to carry some nachos or even peanuts to go with their beers, I think the idea of a chain is to get people in and get them out as fast as possible. ;)
Review Source:Okay I'm reviewing this place for what it is, which is BIER. They've got it all. They just opened today, so I was happy to be one of the first to enjoy and review.
I ordered a mixed beer which was great. The bartenders knew their stuff and were happy to hand out samplers of anything I wanted.
Ask for a sampler of any draft... But choose wisely, for while the true beer will bring you life, the false bier will take it from you.
I would hope they'll have a little food after awhile, but their 18 + TV's will keep you occupied between sips.
