As a local female entrepreneur, I’m passionate about creating a vibrant and elegant space where all kinds of relationships can flourish within our community. I’m also excited to offer a delightful menu featuring fine drinks and tasty small plates thateveryone can enjoy!
Since moving to Brunswick in 2014, I’ve raised four sons alongside myhusband, Darrick. We've watched downtown evolve into a more refined and lively place, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of the blossoming businesses in historic downtown Brunswick, Georgia!

Obsessed with this place. It’s not a “bar scene” it’s an elevated lounge with a modern, stylish vibe and a welcoming feel. The cocktails are top tier, the service is great, and it’s bouji in the best way while still being reasonably priced.

Maddie was our waitress and bartender.
She was amazing. Very knowledgeable and patient with us! We had four girls who were all first timers!

ch an amazing experience I can’t help but share it.
The build your own charcuterie boards were 👌 and you can substitute options. The handcrafted drinks were above and beyond.

The atmosphere is very nice. The espresso martini necklace is successful. The bartender is positive and friendly. It's a nice place to have a good time downtown.

What a great addition to downtown Brunswick!
Driftwood may keep it simple with just charcuterie boards, cocktails, and wine, but they do each one exceptionally well.
The owner, Sunshine, absolutely lives up to her name. She took the time to st...
op by every table, say hello, and personally introduce herself. Hearing her story and the inspiration behind Driftwood was a highlight of our visit. Don’t miss asking her about the meaning behind the cocktails “Fay” and “Fay 2”. It’s a special one.
We’re so glad to see something this cool and thoughtful pop up in downtown. Wishing Sunshine and Driftwood nothing but the best!

This place is a lounge, not a bar — think Cheers, but 2026: chic, a little bouji, and somehow still totally affordable. The vibe is warm and welcoming, the crowd feels like community, and the drinks are genuinely amazing.
