THE DIGEST
After Olympia’s Closure, a New Chapter Begins on River Street

When Olympia Cafe closed its doors on New Year’s Eve after more than 30 years on River Street, it marked the end of one of Savannah’s longest-running restaurants. The closure came after the restaurant’s lease in the city-owned Gamble Building expired, with the property set for renovations and a new tenant selected through a public bidding process.

Now, the family behind Olympia is preparing to welcome guests once again.
