Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

  • Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
  • Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

  • frazierb2024 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to learn about the "Old-Time Charm" of Savannah in a relaxed way. Highly recommend this riverboat tour to see Savannah from the water! You will learn about the action of the Savannah port and also about the military forts surrounding Savannah and the city's role in the Civil War. Definitely recommend if you are a huge history buff! My mom and I loved the old-school charm of the actual Riverboat and we had a gorgeous weather day, so we really enjoy sitting on the top deck and getting to see the scenery and wildlife around us. The narrator of the boat tour is an aspiring actor in Savannah, so he was extremely entertaining with his story telling and history narration about the city and even kept it light with a few jokes and pop-culture tidbits! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a sit back and relax activity, while you also learn a ton! Plus, there is a great concessions stand on the boat where you can order drinks and food from. You may even see some beautiful wildlife too while on the boat as dolphins are a popular sight in the river! There is a live cannon blast as the boat passes Old Fort Jackson down the river, so make sure to bring ear-plugs if you are sensitive to that. The tour guide gave us plenty of warning before it happened, but it still caught us off guard. Another thing to note is to get in line earlier rather than later for the boat ride because the seating is first come, first serve, and they have backward facing seats if you want to avoid those. Although, the boat is moving at a pace that isn't upsetting for people prone to motion-sickness (aka my mom!). Read more Written February 25, 2024
  • 642sasha 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Skip the Valentine’s Day cruise I took the Valentine’s Day cruise which was overpriced. It was $143 with tax per person. The service should have been better based on that price. I requested vinaigrette dressing for my salad because they did not put any dressing on the salad. The waitress ignored me and I asked her several times. It seemed like such a simple request, but apparently it wasn’t. The food was average not worth more than $20. The entertainment was mediocre. I would not recommend anyone to pay for the Valentines Day cruise. The views at night was the best part of this cruise. Read more Written February 19, 2024

We thought we were going of a paddle wheeler boat but it wasn't, there was no paddle wheel. There were only 2 speakers on the main deck of the boat so we could not hear the commentary. There wasn't really anything to look at while you sat on the boat. The windows were dirty. We did pass by a fort but could not hear any information about it. Read more Written February 3, 2024
  • avantikaw2023 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Save your Money Savannah Riverboat Cruises are an overpriced touist trap. We really regret purchasing this experience, and would not recommend it to others. We participated in the Sunday Brunch on New Years Day. The food was awful; lukewarm, poorly made, with very limited options. Although we had paid more for our tickets, we were the last to be served. It was utter chaos, with very little attentiveness and poor communication given to our party. The staff were unhelpful and rude, and poorly dressed with stained uniforms. The announcer/captain was obnoxious, with sophmoric humor sprinkled with shoutouts to corporate sponsors like Walmart. When you purchase your tickets, know that you are paying for a novelty Savannah experience. There is so much that this city has to offer. I would avoid this experience at all costs, and invest your time at one of the many lovely resturants or rooftop bars located throughout the city. This was a huge disappointment for our family.

  • JacqWilliams 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Disappointed Vegan My husband and I were excited to attend the New Year's Eve Gala Cruise on the Georgia Queen Riverboat. As a vegan, I called in advance to ensure that I would have meal options. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the limited options provided during the event. Despite being told that the staff would be able to accommodate my dietary restrictions, I was only able to eat two of the courses which were both salads and the main meal was a spoonful of overcooked quinoa over asparagus which looked like a plate of slop, see picture below. This made me feel singled out as an outcast. Considering the high price of the tickets, I feel that the advertisements should clearly state if there are no vegan options or there should be a price adjustment. Paying $250 for a plate of iceberg lettuce and strawberries is unfair. I believe that a refund or some other type of accommodation is deserved in this situation. I must say that the staff serving the food were all very nice and should be applauded. Read more Written January 4, 2024

  • MontanaEjp 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Do not recommend this overpriced cruise with little to learn Not worth the money! Do NOT recommend. We purchased tickets assuming it was an amazing cruise because we have always seen the ship docked on the river. Pros: We saw quite a few dolphins, a bald eagle flying overhead, it was a beautiful day to spend some time outside. The narrator was funnier toward the end. Cons: Very expensive to see docked ships and not really much else. Savannah is full of rich history and the stories, information, or facts that was shared was minimal. Such a shame. But if the tour has to pair with what you see around the ship, it makes sense. Nothing to see aside from some ships and tug boats and the River front. Narration was boring. I couldn’t hear half of it depending on where you were standing on the top deck. It was clear as day if you were inside but who wants to sit inside on a beautiful day? I wish I had read the reviews instead of assuming it was wonderful! Read more Written January 1, 2024

An authentic Irish pub to open in Savannah in June. Here's the story of how it came to be

riverboat dinner savannah ga

This article is the first in a series about the new Wexford Irish Pub, slated to open in June in City Market, that will cover its historic and cultural underpinnings; its architecture, design and interiors; and ultimately, its food. In honor of the 200 th anniversary of Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, we explore the story behind how the Wexford came to be.

At the Georgia Ports Authority’s Berth No. 4 on the Savannah River, the line of ship-to-shore cranes wait as patiently for the after-lunch whistle as members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, who are poised off stage to get back to work. The freighter, the Missouri Express , is piled six or seven stories high with colorful rectangles like a child’s Lego sculpture. The vessel dwarfs everything – everything – around it.

Tim Strickland, co-owner of River Street Sweets among other Savannah eateries, dons a hard hat and reflector vest. He searches the stacks above for a specific container. It’s impossible to pick out, but the anticipation builds.

A loud baritone horn blares and the cranes roar to life. The choreography of jockey trucks swinging into line, crisscrossing each other’s paths without colliding — Brilliant! — is reminiscent of the chorus of a Broadway musical, but with a rhythm composed by rubber on pavement and the whoosh-whir-clunk of machines grabbing metal containers and precisely placing them for the next step of their journeys, which is usually to a warehouse or a storage yard or a long stretch of highway.

One of those trucks drives over to where Tim waits. The orange container it carries is the first of many that will come through the Port of Savannah from Ireland over the next couple of months, ferrying the furniture, fixtures and filigree that comprise his next big (ad)venture with sister Jennifer Strickland and business partner Chris Swanson: The Wexford , Savannah’s Irish Pub.

When that container is finally opened weeks later, what a story it tells.  

Golden Anniversary: 50 years of pralines, fudge and the sweet legacy of River Street Sweets' Strickland family

The backstory

Story is central to creating an authentic Irish pub experience, explains Darren Fagan. He is the managing partner of U.S. operations for the Irish Pub Co. , a Dublin-based, global design-build, interiors, and branding firm — at least that’s the business definition culled from the company’s website. Fagan’s work, however, is far more intentional, which is what drew Fagan to working with the Stricklands and they with him.

“The key for us,” said Fagan, “is to find and identify a backstory. We pride ourselves on every single one of our projects being different. Not just aesthetically, it has to have real value and meaning to a customer – a user reference, attention-holding architecture or design. The idea is when somebody walks in, they see something, it gets their attention, and there’s a valid story behind it.”

Tim Strickland remembers “kicking ideas around” with his sister and Swanson. “Kevin Barry’s had just basically closed at that time [in early 2020], and we knew there was a huge gap for Irish pubs or bars, in general. Savannah, you would think, that’s a no-brainer.”

It felt right to open an Irish pub, offered Tim, but not in the Kevin Barry’s space out of respect for the previous owners, Victor and Sherry Powers, who are long-time friends. They also didn’t want a generic Irish pub with a few old Guinness signs hanging on the wall. After all, the Stricklands’ own family roots stretch back to Kenmare in County Kerry.

So, it took a while for the right space to present itself, which it did in 2022, when the former Wild Wings space at the corner of City Market and Barnard Street across from Ellis Square became available. The two-story, 150-year-old brick building factored into Strickland family history, to boot. Tim and Jennifer’s father sandblasted the walls, built it out and opened a white tablecloth restaurant, 27 Market Square, in the mid-1980s. Tim even celebrated his junior prom there.

Meanwhile, Swanson, a former middle school science teacher with a penchant for travel and research, found the Irish Pub Co. The trio met with Fagan and learned how the firm approaches design and builds and sources all the furniture and furnishings in Ireland.

“It sounded too good to be true,” said Tim, “but we still didn’t have the name, and we didn’t have the feel of it.”

A history buff with a history degree, Tim came across Dr. Howard Keeley’s website for the Center of Irish Research and Teaching at Georgia Southern University, which has been mining and documenting the historic connections along the Wexford-Savannah Axis for more than a decade. Keeley and CIRT’s research have crafted a different narrative around Irish emigration to Savannah – one less steeped in debt and famine and more in opportunity.

More than 56% of Irish immigrants in this area came from County Wexford between 1848 and the mid-to-late-1850s, and many of them were driven to come here by trade partnerships between the plentiful timber in the Ogeechee River Basin in southeast Georgia and the iron production in southeast Ireland. One of CIRT’s students at GSU’s Wexford campus, Keeley explained, found a loading document for timber signed by Andrew Low in a box of uncatalogued archives. Other names that emerged through the research: Kehoe, Rossiter, and O’Connor.

Savannah Magazine article: New Irish pub coming to City Market

Tim Strickland had his name. “It was a Sunday morning, and I don’t know why, but we were all texting each other, throwing around names. And I went quiet for a second… and that’s when all the Georgia Southern stuff just came out.”

The business partners were all in at that point. Tim and Jennifer hosted delegates from the Wexford City Council during last year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, then traveled to Wexford to immerse themselves in all things Irish pub. “We really had that human connection,” said Jennifer. “They took us backstage to look at what their business operations were like.

“We just had a real familiarity and a kindred spirit.”

It was just the kind of backstory Fagan was looking for.

'They want to be heard'

Keeley’s work has become central to the burgeoning trade relationship between southeast Georgia and southeast Ireland, which has grown stronger since the inception of World Trade Center Savannah’s Trade Bridge in 2017. Because Savannah is not a large metropolitan area, Keeley helps make those important emotional connections.

A walk through the Catholic Cemetery on Wheaton/Gwinnett streets on Savannah’s eastside reveals the threads that tether the two areas. Many historical headstones read “born in Wexford.”

“You can almost viscerally sense that the people from southeast Ireland, there’s a degree of trust and belief in a way that happens,” said Keeley.

He recounts visiting the cemetery with Patricia Harty, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Irish American magazine. As they strolled, she said she felt like the recent trade and academic successes were “because the people who are in the ground here, they want to be heard.”

Fagan agrees. “It doesn’t matter what the [pub] concept is, it has to have soul. Its core value is that it’s a community hub, right? And that can never be lost.”

In a warehouse on Savannah’s east side, Fagan is checking his list against the unloaded contents of the containers.

“I had a broad vision in my head in the direction that this was going to go, and it was crystal clear to me how it should look,” he said. “But once we got [Keeley] involved – and I love the micro details, I love getting into the weeds – he provided us all the fodder to do that. We took it to an intense level with Wexford.”

He points to details in the carved mahogany bar as an example, then opens his computer to pictures of mirrors and glass backed with maps, images and words that tell the story of Irish immigration to Savannah and the rippling impacts of Irish culture across Georgia.

“See, if I were leaving Ireland from Wexford, that’s the last lighthouse I would see,” says Fagan, pointing to an image of the Hook Lighthouse on one of the mirrors. “You’re passing this lighthouse, and you see it in the sequence and then you end up in Savannah.”

It is surprising how the stories of Irish women rise within the context of the Wexford’s interiors, which are now being fit into place according to the specifications of Brian Felder and Associates, the lead architect. According to Keeley, it’s no accident. More women than men immigrated from Ireland during the mid-1880s, whether through Boston or New York or Charleston and making their way here.

One of those women, Rosanna McGuire, was the first Irish woman to obtain a liquor license and own a pub in Savannah. She and her husband ran a boarding house in the Yamacraw area, but after he died during the early years of the Civil War, McGuire was forced to find other ways of supporting her four children.

Woodwork that will be incorporated into the second floor is painted with the names of the 32 women — one for each county in Ireland — who were the first to walk in a Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

All throughout the Wexford, the stories of the Irish will be told.  

'A place between work and home'

But it won’t be a place that feels dated and touristy. Fagan maintains the Wexford will affirm the role of the true Irish pub as a place to go between work and home, whether your live in Savannah or are visiting from someplace else.

Even with a sense of elevated design and service, Tim says the Wexford will be for people of all walks of life, ages and tastes. “This is how it's gonna work. From 11 a.m. until 1 or 1:30 is gonna be lunch. It's gonna be families and grandparents. Then you're gonna get to the happy hour, and that’s when the young people are going to come in from 4 to 5:30 or 6, sitting around the pub and the bar. And then you get into dinner. From at 6 to 8:30 p.m., it's all dinner. And then when you get past 8:30 to 12, that's when the pub kind of kicks back in. There’s gonna be a lot of Irish influence in the music there, too. So, we're gonna have some real access because of [Keeley] to some Irish bands that Savannah has never seen.”

It’s a grand vision, one that Savannah has not seen, well, in a long time.

“Even though this is a serious business, the core value has to be bringing people in and allowing them to feel comfortable and always want to come back, right?” said Fagan. “So, it can’t be a function of sit down, there’s your meal, now you have to go. The real value is how do I make you stay? That’s the difference.”

Not-so-rustic cottages in Vermont, an urban oasis in Savannah, and socks for on the go

Travel news you can use..

Tälta Lodge, a Bluebird by Lark property located along Stowe’s Little River, recently added new nine freestanding cottage suites to its 52 guestroom and suite offerings. (Chris Delaney)

NOT-SO-RUSTIC COTTAGES DEBUT IN VERMONT

If you love the concept of a rustic mountain cottage vacation but wish for more modern comforts, then consider Tälta Lodge. This Bluebird by Lark property, located along Stowe’s Little River, recently added new nine freestanding cottage suites to its 52 guestrooms and suite offerings, upping its nostalgic appeal with a contemporary take on the area’s original 1960s mountain accommodations. Dubbed Stugas — the Swedish word for cottage — the 425-square-foot suites might confound earlier pioneers. Rather than musty interiors with the bare necessities, the Stugas feature private patios with outdoor seating and fire pits, living space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking scenic grounds, kitchenettes stocked with essentials, and a separate bedroom with ultra-soft linens. Twenty-first-century pampering continues in the bathroom, with radiant heated floors, heated towel racks, and walk-in showers.

First opened in October 2021, the property boasts sprawling common spaces, including an indoor heated pool, outdoor hot tub, yoga room, sauna, and plenty of places to stash your adventure gear such as handy modular gear walls, ski and mountain bike storage, and boot drying rooms. A new onsite cocktail bar, FjällBar (meaning “mountain” in Swedish), serves inventive craft cocktails, beer, cider, and light bites such as cheese and charcuterie plates, and tinned fish specialties from Spain. The resort also offers an online planning guide for your trip to Stowe, including tips on where to ski, hike, and mountain bike, and helps narrow your selection of area breweries, shops, and restaurants. Mid-March and April rates for Stugas: $360; lodge rooms from $142. 802-253-7525, www.bluebirdhotels.com/hotels/talta-lodge

The genteel city of Savannah, Ga., is abuzz over the debut of Hotel Bardo.

SPLASHY URBAN OASIS DEBUTS IN SAVANNAH, GA.

The genteel city of Savannah, Ga., is abuzz over the debut of Hotel Bardo. Located in the heart of the city’s 30-acre Forsyth Park, amid native magnolias, tulip poplars, and Oak trees dripping Spanish moss, the sprawling, 2-acre resort houses 149-guest rooms and suites in a transformed 19th-century Southern Gothic structure. You’ll find all the trappings of southern hospitality — without the stuffiness — when you step inside the living room-style lobby, anchored by The Green Room, an oval-shaped bar serving cheeky cocktails such as the Least of Your Worries, a rum, kumquat, and makrut concoction to kick off your southern sojourn.

Meandering further into the hotel grounds and gardens leads one through a courtyard to an expansive 25-meter outdoor pool with cabanas inspired by the Mediterranean coast. The poolside Bar Bibi continues the coastal Italian theme with bright salads, crudo and brick oven-fired pizzettas, and cocktails. Bardo’s marquee Italian restaurant, Saint Bibiana — named for a 4th-century Roman virgin and martyr known as the patron saint of hangovers — offers a more formal but still playful version of coastal cuisine. Guest rooms are designed as serene retreats with natural materials and textures, and luxe Frette linens. Additional amenities include the debut of Saltgrass, a holistic fitness and wellness spa; kids program Camp Bardo; and a membership and social club, Club Bardo. Additionally, this urban oasis — in the center of the historic district — is steps away from all the arts, culture, entertainment, and shopping that the city has to offer. Rates from $450 per night. 912-238-5158, www.staybardo.com
