Did you know Savannah has the oldest bar in Georgia? Check it out

The oldest bar in Georgia is a Savannah hotspot . Not only is it connected to the state's founder, it's also tied to a world-renowned novel. What is Georgia's first bar? In its list of the oldest bars in every state, VinePair identified The Pirates' House as Georgia's first. It's housed in an old inn and tavern founded in 1753 as the state became more established, welcoming in more visitors. The inn and tavern grew out from what was the Herb House, built in 1734 as a home to the gardener of what was the first public agricultural experimental garden in America, which was established by Georgia's founder James Oglethorpe in 1733. How did the Pirates House get its name? As Savannah became a thriving seaport, the inn/tavern was a popular destination for sailors. The Pirates' House also has a connection to perhaps the most popular pirates book ever written: Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." It mentions multiple times how one Captain Flint died in Savannah drinking and being merry. It's believed the Pirates' House was the inspiration for this piece of backstory.

First round GHSA playoff matchups for Savannah area football teams

High school football coaches from across the state of Georgia participated in a Zoom meeting to find out about their playoff fates on Saturday, Nov. 7. There are nine teams from the Greater Savannah area that are set to compete in the GHSA State playoffs, which start on Friday Nov. 13 and culminate with championship games in eight classifications at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Dec. 15-16. This is the first season where the GHSA's Post Season Ranking (PSR) system is being used to seed the playoff bracket across all classifications. The PSR is determined by a team's winning percentage (35%), its opponents' winning percentage (35%) and its opponents' opponents' winning percentage (30%). Winning a region title does guarantee a first-round home playoff game with the new PSR system. In the former system, the team's finish in its region determined the playoffs with a first place finish earning a No. 1 seed, a second place finish a No. 2 seed, a third place finish a No. 3 seed, while a fourth place finish earned a No. 4 seed. If teams with the same seed met up in a bracket, a universal coin flip held at the GHSA office was used
