West Victorian District offers an unique mix of areas that are both busy and quiet. Although this part of Savannah is not known for its lively ambience, with the bars in nearby neighborhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink as they are generally located very close by. At the same time, this area is very quiet overall, as the streets are very peaceful.
