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 .“

“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.“

“Alex at the Montage Palmetto Bluff provided an exceptional guest experience from start to finish. In a community known for world-class hospitality, Alex stands out for professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making every interaction seamless and enjoyable.

The Octagon pickup service was outstanding, prompt, courteous, and flawlessly executed. Alex made the entire process effortless, ensuring we felt welcomed, valued, and well cared for throughout our visit. It’s the small details and personal touches that separate good service from truly memorable service, and Alex consistently delivered at the highest level.

Palmetto Bluff is one of the finest destinations in the Lowcountry, and team members like Alex are a big reason why. Thank you for representing the Montage brand with such excellence and for helping create an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended and very well deserved!“

“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“

“My family and I have dined at Coast Oceanfront Dining many a time at Hilton Head often when we've ventured to this most delightful and oh so scrumptious restaurant. Whether it be for a most delicious meal on the patio with the great vistas of views of the most beautiful ocean or a tasty most delicious snack like scoops of ice cream. How delicious and tasty! During our most recent visit our server was Narissa. She was oh so very friendly, oh so efficient, and such an awesome waitress with such excellent deep menu experience. We often get the salmon or a hamburger, so yummy! Narissa from beginning to end really has made our meals in the past such an enjoyable one with her utmost warmth and such pleasantries. How wonderful! Thank you oh so much. Also, Paige, the food and beverage manager was oh so attentive at the end of the meal making sure everything was so smooth, which it always is for us. We will definitely come back to Coast Oceanfront Dining for their most excellent food and most incredible down home 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!“
