Mint To Give

Where Networking and Community Meet

Are you Mint To Give? Give back to your community, and support local businesses with our monthly fundraiser event, Mint To Give. Each month, Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites, a local Latin-infused restaurant and bar, gives back to our community to benefit a different non-profit organization, and introduce a new local business owner to allow them to talk about their new venture. It forms a night of community – allowing networking with like-minded individuals who care about local business growth, and supporting our community through non-profit organizations.

Come in for a fun night of networking and giving back, and a chance to win a prize!

We collaborate with business owners and non-profit organizations, and anyone is welcome to attend. Entry to the event is free, but it’s better to give! Each event offers raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the donated prizes. Prizes are donated by local businesses to support Mint To Give and the various charities it supports. The raffle ticket sales are entirely donated to benefit the non-profit of the evening. Join us every 3rd Thursday of the month from 5:30 – 7 pm for networking, giving back to our local non-profits, and a chance to win a prize. We look forward to seeing you!

Some of our favorite non-profits have benefited from this extraordinary event!

Our Mission

At Mint to Be Mojito Bar, our mission is to benefit a non-profit organization once a month and introduce new business owners to the community. By providing a place to network, we give our community a place to gather, communicate, and support each other and the non-profit organization. Each Mint To Give event is held once a month, and the sponsored non-profit varies each month.

Join us every 3rd Thursday of the month from 5:30 – 7 pm at Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites, located in the heart of downtown Savannah by Wright Square at 12 W. State Street.

Sisters of Savannah – One Restaurant Owner’s Story

Homestyle and Fresh –

The Latin Cuisine Making Waves in Savannah

Mary Githens is an entrepreneur with one goal on her mind- to take her two restaurants and offer the same values- fresh Latin cuisine, a great atmosphere that fosters teamwork and inclusivity, and provide fresh and delicious food and drinks options. Mission accomplished. Latin Chicks has been in operation since 2009- and since then, has expanded to offer a food truck service, along with catering for private and corporate events. The food truck runs on the name Vida Fresh, and offers many of the same options you would find at the physical location of Latin Chicks. The catering available is upscale Latin cuisine with an American flair for convenience. Bonus- you can place your catering request directly from their website too. Mary surely has perfected making fast, healthy, and delicious Latin cuisine readily available for the Low Country.

Fast forward a few years later to 2020, when Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites opened it’s doors in downtown Savannah. It’s a quaint hacienda that is flooded with color and charm. The freshest ingredients craft the best mojito you will ever have. You can enjoy your mojito and empanadas at the bar, at cafe table inside, or on the front patio. And when the sunsets, it’s time to move the party to the back. Recently renovated, the La Aparicion Speakeasy Lounge boasts high-end vibes with velvet seating, dimmed neon, and an essence of Latin cool with it’s effortless, carefree composure. It’s more than a speakeasy, it’s a feeling. It’s the place where Friday night dates turn into memorable moments.

The union of these restaurants is like a marriage. Based on love and trust, you do you. And where one picks up the right target market of clientele, another will offer a perfect night out for a group of friends or a special date night out. These sister restaurants have become a staple in the Savannah restaurant scene. And who knows what’s next for our beloved Latin Chicks and Mint To Be operations, maybe something’s coming soon to the Eastern Wharf? Check back on our blog page for updates and info!
