Three Cheers for the Rah Bar!

Jekyll Island is a popular barrier island vacation spot off the south Georgia coast.  The island has many charms, including Victorian architecture, long beaches and a Sea Turtle rescue center.  For the hungry though, the Rah Bar, at the end of the pier, is the place to be.  

The Food

The menu is limited, which is okay, because all you really need are pounds and pounds of the peel and eat shrimp.  They are so fresh and steamed to perfection with a sprinkling of Old Bay.  They come with cocktail sauce and hot sauce for dipping.  Seafood dip, which seems to be mostly comprised of the aforementioned shrimp in chopped form with some mayo, is served with pita chips.  The steamed mussels were overcooked, and thus a bit dry. There are also steamed crawfish and a few sandwiches that no one was ordering.

The Drinks

There's a full bar and a wide selection of craft and standard beers in cans.  We had Stella Artois and an Aviator Brewing Company Madbeach wheat beer.

The Service

Our server admitted it was his first day.  He stayed on top of our drinks and multiple shrimp orders.  The staff works together well as a team.

The Atmosphere

This is classic waterside beach shack.  There are seats inside at the bar, but why would you sit there if you can be out on the pier overlooking the intracoastal waterway and the historic district.  In the summer, try to snag a seat in the covered section unless you're working on a sunburn.
