The Wayward, the cocktail bar at Perry Lane Hotel in Savannah, has received a 1 PIN distinction from The Pinnacle Guide. It is among 29 bars worldwide recognized in the guide’s latest review.
The distinction followed an evaluation that included anonymous reviews. The guide’s ratings reach three PINs. Five of the 29 bars recognized this year received a 2 PIN distinction, and the honorees came from 11 countries.
Perry Lane also appointed Braeden Lardeur as its director of food and beverage. He joins the hotel from 888 Japanese Vinyl Restaurant at the JW Marriott Nashville, which received a Best Bite recognition at the Music City Food and Wine Festival in April 2026. Lardeur previously held a manager position with SoHo House in Los Angeles and has two decades of experience in restaurants and hospitality.
The appointment was announced alongside a broader effort to strengthen food-and-beverage offerings across Perry Lane’s portfolio.
