17 Best Cocktail Bars near Bluffton

“Food was innovative & overall a 5. The fried chicken kare kare was a favorite. Tip: Don't eat outside until they add fans or something to discourage the unbelievably aggressive flies! My wife & I spent the entire brunch trying in vain to keep them off our food & drinks .“

“This is the 4th time I've dined at Truffles when visiting my mom in Bluffton. The food quality, portion size, price and presentation are outstanding. From the waitress to the manager, assistant manager and food runner, we were asked several times how we were enjoying our meal. I would highly recommend visiting Truffles!“

“Always a great experience ! The food never disappoints.“

“The fries are the best I've ever had. These guys aren't fooling around! Everything we've had here is top notch and the team is outstanding.“

“I recommend Agave for in dining only. We have had multiple issues with them using Door Dash including VERY late delivery to getting 100% the wrong order. They need to have a better process.“

“Tonight was our 2nd time eating at Crudo and once again everything was amazing. We started with the crispy octopus which was flavorful and tender. It was recommended to us by the server and another couple we ended up talking to seated next to us, and it was truly a fantastic recommendation. My husband had the Wagyu steak which was better than any local steakhouse in the area and I had the Lobster Roll which was sweet, tender, and juicy. The service was impeccable and Crudo offers a quant, quiet atmosphere. If you haven’t been, you are missing out on the best restaurant Bluffton has to offer.“

“Octagon is one of those places you’ve got to try. From the food to the service, everything was great.
Starting off with food - it was all amazing. We were lucky enough to be here while Master sushi chef Shinya Horiguchi was visiting, so I treated myself to some nigiri and it was amazing. Melt-in-your-mouth and everything. As for actual dishes which were also great. I didn’t go too crazy with the dishes, kept it simple with salads and burgers, but everything still was amazing. Ordered the Green Goddess twice (once with grilled shrimp and once with grilled chicken- def go for the shrimp) and it was so fresh and delicious each time. The burger was amazing, but so massive and filling that I had to take half to go.
Service was also exceptional. Everyone is beyond kind. I was also with young kids and they were extremely accommodating, plus the restaurant offers an extensive kids menu and other things that made dining with kids easier.
The environment, service, and food were some that I do not see often. There was live music some nights also which made the ambiance that much better. Really enjoyed my dinners here. If God wills it, I certainly will be back in the future.“

“I had an amazing dinner experience for taco Tuesday recently all of the food and drinks were excellent and the service was some of the best I’ve had in the area in a long time. It was my first time at the Bluffton location so I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away. I love the Hilton head location can’t come back to enjoy taco Tuesday in Bluffton.“

“We went there for the first time today and am very happy we did. The service was spot on, the food was delicious and well portioned, drinks were perfectly made and the place was beautiful. We will definitely be back and bring others with us“

“First time here and everything was incredible! Our server was great. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. We got the shrimp nachos, the lobster roll (came with fries) and the seafood boil. Manager even stopped by to ask how everything was. We dined upstairs at the lounge outside on the balcony. There was live music playing below at Coast and it was such a fun vibe! Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely amazing food and service! We're celebrating our 11th anniversary, and it was made extra special by the staff. Thank you! ❤️“

“Bluffton location is fantastic. Great food, awesome staff! Thank you Katelynn for such wonderful service!“

“Love Bowdies! Amazing steaks and service.“

“Excellent atmosphere and great music!!! Stee! is the life of the party... His parents is the owners of the bar. I am a timeshare owner on the island and I come down just to visit this venue from Alabama.“

“We had a few nice meals here while staying at the Omni. The food is nothing too special but it works if you don’t want to leave the resort. Pretty much any drink you get is $15-18 which is wild for just a mojito or standard daiquiri.

The one time we sat there and ate, a really nice gentleman served us and when he brought our check let us know it said Hannah because she was supposed to be our server. We literally never even saw her so we just tipped him cash. It didn’t seem right.“

“Shout out to Will the late night bartender! He's attentive even in the hectic busy moments. He's caring and concerened. Bamboo has amazing food, and even better staff! Love you guys, and we'll make itout again the next chance we have.“

“Skillets is absolutely amazing! From the food to the beautiful ambience. Our waitress Marilyn was so kind and attentive. I had the Mahi tacos. They were the best I've ever had. There chef Keman cooked everything to perfection. All of the toppings were homemade. Love that place!“
