Trent's Last Ride
Five days of oysters, scotch, and Uncle Trent wisdom — Savannah style
Luxury Airbnb — Restored Victorian mansion
This is HQ for five days. A restored Victorian with pool, hot tub, open kitchen, and multiple bathrooms means Trent and the crew have space to breathe, cook together, and enjoy downtime without feeling cramped. Historic District location puts you steps from dive bars, restaurants, and the river — no 30-minute Ubers. Pricing is estimated based on Savannah's April market rates for luxury 4-5 bedroom properties.
$1,800–$2,200/night (estimated for 8-person capacity, April rates)/nightGroup meets at baggage claim. Arrange one Uber XL or two rideshares to the historic district house (20-min drive). Settle in, unpack, grab the welcome kit from the kitchen.
Tip: Assign one person to pick up ice, mixers, and a case of Trent's favorite beer on the way to the house.
Get comfortable, change into swim gear, crack open cold beers on the deck. This is HQ for five days — no rush, no schedule. Trent sets the pace.
Tip: Take a group photo by the pool for the trip album.
Meet your guide at the dock (15-min drive from the house). 4-hour guided fly-fishing trip through Savannah's marshes — scenic, chill, and perfect for Trent's fly-fishing obsession. Back by 9 PM.
Tip: Bring sunscreen and a light jacket — April evenings can be cool on the water.
Order takeout from a local spot (Mrs. Wilkes or Zunzi's) or prep a simple pasta dinner at the house. Keep it low-key — everyone's tired from travel and fishing.
Tip: Save energy for the next two days.
Stock the kitchen with eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and good coffee. Crew cooks together, eats on the deck. No rush — this is how 40+ guys do mornings.
Tip: Have someone make a killer bloody mary bar with Trent's favorite hot sauce.
Three-hour unstructured block. Pool time, poker at the kitchen table, cigars on the porch, cold beers. This is the crew's rhythm — no agenda, just hanging with Uncle Trent.
Tip: Set up a card game with a low buy-in ($20–$50 max) — keeps it fun, not serious.
2.5-hour guided walking tour through the historic district hitting 6+ tastings — oysters, low-country boil samples, craft beverages, local specialties. Trent's in his element. Tour ends near River Street.
Tip: Eat a light lunch before the tour so you can taste everything without getting too full.
A local oyster shucker arrives with a bushel of fresh raw oysters, teaches proper technique, and the crew eats oysters with cold beer on the deck. This is the moment Trent talks about for years — 'Uncle Trent's oyster night.' Pair with Lagavulin 16 for the true experience.
Tip: Have the shucker bring extra lemon and hot sauce — let Trent customize his oysters.
Three-bar crawl through historic district dive bars: (1) Barrelhouse South (Congress St, cheap drinks, college vibe), (2) Treylor Park (quirky cocktails, late-night food), (3) Alley Cat Lounge (speakeasy, wind down). Start at Barrelhouse, move to Treylor by 10:30 PM, finish at Alley Cat by 11:30 PM. Keep it chill — no clubs, no bottle service, just good drinks and good company.
Tip: Barrelhouse has pool tables — grab one if available. Alley Cat is small, so arrive before midnight or you'll wait.
Eggs, bacon, fresh juice, strong coffee. Crew recovers from the oyster night. Trent's pace — no rush.
Tip: Have Gatorade and electrolyte packets on hand for anyone who needs it.
1-hour guided tour of Savannah's first post-Prohibition distillery. Tastings of craft spirits, history lesson, and a chance to appreciate single-malt and bourbon. Perfect for Trent's scotch appreciation. Tour ends by 1:30 PM.
Tip: Buy a bottle of their flagship spirit to take home — Trent will appreciate the souvenir.
Three-hour recovery block. Pool time, hot tub soaks, cigars on the deck, cold beers. This is the pace Trent wants — no agenda, just crew time.
Tip: Have Club Habana-style cigars on hand (order ahead or grab from a local shop). Pair with Lagavulin neat.
A local private chef arrives and prepares a multi-course low-country dinner: oyster appetizers, shrimp and grits, local fish, sides. Crew eats together at the house table. This is THE dinner — elevated, personal, and Trent-focused. Chef handles cleanup.
Tip: Request the chef prepare a signature cocktail featuring Lagavulin or a local bourbon to start the meal.
After the chef dinner, the crew stays at the house. Low-key poker tournament, cigars on the porch, Lagavulin neat, Van Morrison or Willie Nelson on the speakers. This is the honoring moment setup — intimate, no distractions.
Tip: Have the best man prepare his toast notes during this time.
Light breakfast — eggs, toast, fruit, coffee. Fuel up for golf.
Tip: Have everyone hydrate well before heading to the course.
Trent and the crew play 18 holes at a solid Savannah course. Carts included, pace is relaxed, and you're back by 5 PM. This is Trent's golf fix — no pressure, just good golf and crew time.
Tip: Book a cart with a cooler — cold beers on the course make it better.
Crew showers, changes, and relaxes before the big steakhouse dinner. Pool time if anyone wants it. This is the calm before the evening.
Tip: Remind everyone to dress nice — steakhouse has a smart-casual dress code.
Fine Southern dining in a 1789 mansion on Reynolds Square. Prime steaks, low-country sides, excellent wine list. This is the tradition — the final big dinner. Trent sits at the head of the table. Book a private dining room if possible for the toast round.
Tip: Reserve the private dining room 3+ weeks ahead. Request a wine pairing or bourbon selection for Trent.
In the private dining room at The Olde Pink House, each groomsman stands and shares one specific memory of Trent + one wish for his marriage. Keep it to 90 seconds each. The best man goes last. This is intimate, meaningful, and captures why Uncle Trent matters to this crew.
Tip: Have the best man text attendees 48 hours ahead asking them to pre-think their memory. Bring tissues — this gets emotional.
Crew returns to the house. Whiskey, cigars, porch time. Keep it low-key — the steakhouse and toast round are the peak. Wrap by midnight.
Tip: Have Lagavulin 16 and good cigars waiting on the porch.
Melbourne-inspired brunch with lavender lattes, eggs, pastries, and fresh juice. Crew recovers, swaps favorite moments from the trip, and takes a final group photo. No rush — flights are booked for 3 PM or later.
Tip: Order the Eggs Benedict and a bloody mary — it's the perfect recovery meal.
Arrange one Uber XL or two rideshares to SAV airport (20-min drive). Crew says goodbye, exchanges final hugs, and heads home with stories.
Tip: Have everyone exchange contact info and commit to a group text check-in in a week.
College-meets-party dive bar with cheap drinks and pool tables
Congress Street institution with a rowdy-but-fun crowd, cheap beer, and pool tables. This is where the dive bar crawl starts — casual, unpretentious, and perfect for Trent's crew. No dress code.
Quirky trailer-park-themed bar with creative cocktails and late-night food
Eclectic, fun vibe with craft cocktails, late-night food, and a weird-in-a-good-way atmosphere. Second stop on the crawl — more refined than Barrelhouse, still casual. Try their signature cocktails.
Underground speakeasy with craft cocktails and intimate vibe
Hidden speakeasy beneath Broughton Street with craft cocktails, dim lighting, and an intimate crowd. Perfect for winding down the night — small space, so arrive before midnight. This is where the crawl ends.
Rooftop cocktail bar with river views and smart-casual dress code
Riverfront rooftop overlooking the Savannah River and cargo ships. Great for a pre-dinner cocktail or a quiet evening drink. Smart casual dress code. This is a backup option if the crew wants something more upscale than the dive crawl.
Downtown cigar lounge with leather chairs, bourbon, and old-school charm
Leather chairs, local bourbon selection, and a relaxed vibe perfect for cigars and whiskey. This is where Trent and the crew hang on Day 3 evening — no nightlife agenda, just cigars, Lagavulin, and crew time.
Fine Southern Steakhouse • $65–$85/person (with wine pairing)
1789 mansion on Reynolds Square serving prime steaks, low-country sides, and an excellent wine/bourbon list. This is the tradition — the final big dinner where Trent sits at the head of the table. Private dining room available for the toast round.
Multi-Course Low-Country Cuisine • $60–$75/person (includes chef, ingredients, service)
A local private chef arrives on Day 3 and prepares a multi-course dinner: oyster appetizers, shrimp and grits, local fish, sides. Crew eats together at the house table. Elevated, personal, and Trent-focused. Chef handles all prep and cleanup.

South African Sandwiches • $12–$18/person
Cult-favorite South African sandwiches — the Conquistador is legendary. Quick, casual, and perfect for a grab-and-go lunch or late-night food after bars.
Transport: Rideshare (Uber XL or two standard Ubers) for airport transfers (SAV to house, ~20 min, $35–$50 total). Rideshare for nightlife crawls ($8–$15 per ride within historic district). No party bus needed — group is chill, and the historic district is walkable. Budget $50–$75/person for all transport over 5 days.
Nightlife Strategy: Two dive bar crawls (Day 2 and Day 4 optional). Day 2 crawl: Start at Barrelhouse South (9 PM, cheap drinks, pool tables) → Treylor Park (10:30 PM, cocktails, food) → Alley Cat Lounge (11:30 PM, speakeasy, wind down). No cover charges, budget $40–$60/person for drinks across all three bars. Day 4 is the steakhouse + toast round, so nightlife is minimal (quiet nightcap at the house by midnight). No bottle service, no clubs — this is Trent's crew, and they prefer good drinks in character bars over VIP tables.
