– Savannah simply permits patrons and partygoers to carry open drinks as long as those concoctions are held in a plastic, 16-ounce cup (not bottles, mugs or flasks) and must remain in the parameters of the Historic District. This encompasses everything from River Street to Jones Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to West Broad Street. With no federal or state law restricting open containers, it is left up to local legislation to decide and Savannah sided in favor of open containers and to-go cups. Cheers!
