44 Best Bars in Hilton Head Island

“After a long drive to Hilton head, we chose to eat at quarter deck in Harbourtown.

There was no weight and the service was wonderful. However, parking was difficult.

The menu had plenty of choices and the food was guided that I would say average

We each had a cocktail and it was delicious.

That atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful.

I recommend order deck if you want a good satisfying meal“

“We ate here with a large group on 6/22 for dinner. Diante (not sure of the spelling) was amazing. Food was delicious, our entire group of 17 were so impressed we’ve already told our other friends as who visit HH.“

“The food was fantastic. I had the broiled and blackened seafood platter. Very good. The cheese grits were also very good.“

“Horrible manager on 10/13/2022! He ruined my daughter's 5 year anniversary dinner. They were in from out of state to attend a golf tournament and celebrate their anniversary. When it came time for payment the manager came over and told them they don't accept Discover and was really rude and belittled them for not having any other type of payment with them. There are no signs posted that they don't take Discover. The manager said what do you want us to do, sit everyone down beforehand and tell them we don't take Discover. A sign should have been posted. Every other establishment they visited in Hilton Head took Discover. The manager could have been nice about it while they secured another form of payment instead of belittling them in front of everyone. Their waiter was amazing though. Seems they need to promote the waiter as the new manager.“

“Delicious- great service and delicious halibut and polenta“

“Love this place. Oysters are so good and the service is great“

“Waitress was absolutely awesome. I had the Blackened fish tacos, and they were awesome.“

“Had a great meal a Catch 22 on Thursday 2/15/24. Food was delicious and our server, Derick, was the best.“

“We had the most enjoyable dinner. Atmosphere was great! Our server Jessica was fantastic! Dinner was delicious! 5 stars!! Loved it!!“

“12/10. Came to Zunzibar in Hilton Head Island on a Monday evening and was immediately so happy we did. There was incredible live music (that had the perfect volume - I we were sitting closest to him and never felt like we were yelling to talk or that it was overwhelming), the drinks were amazing, and the service was top notch. If you want somewhere that has great drinks, a laid-back atmosphere, and Instagram-worthy decor, definitely check them out! We will absolutely be back.“

“Drinks were good, music great. However. we ordered chili fries for $10.95 and asked for the chili on the side. we got the fries with chili in a small cup. But when we got the bill we were charged full price AND $1.00 extra for chili on the side. WTH. We didn't get extra chili!!!!! One dollar is not a big deal, overcharging is!!!!“

“Good food. Value. Dueling pianos on Tuesday was totally fun“

“Micah and Seth are the best bartenders!!“

“Amazing experience at Bar-Muda Triangle. Freshly prepared food. Service was at its best. The boy (Astril, I don't clearly remember his name) who was serving us the food was so humble and sweet. He helped us selecting our menu as per our choice. Tadka Daal and garlic butter prawns were the beat among all the tasty dishes. Must visiting place. We spent Rs. 2500 for 6 Pax.“

“I will admit I’ve been hating on this place as I missed pool bar Jim’s and although the mojitos are not the same - spending my Sunday watching sports here has changed my mind. It’s truly the best atmosphere on the island to watch football. The great service and awesome drinks have changed my mind. 10/10 recommend“

“Loved this little haunt on my 2022 trip to HHI. I was told if you want a bar that’s not a touristy money trap, then this is the place. They were right! I came for my 30th birthday and just about everyone in the bar wanted to buy me a drink. Such a great vibe and great people. Wonderful conversations with both staff and patrons. I believe the bartender’s name was Doug, he was the coolest and even hung out a bit with us after his shift was over. I will never forget that night, thank you Cool Cats for an awesome 30th birthday.“

“bartender was very cooperative, the drink was strong and the appetizers were tasty, Spanish music was on point ....people were humble and kind“

“We love UnCorked! Located just off of Hilton Head Island, it is THE premier venue for live entertainment. Large custom built stage; premium house sound system and hosts Neil and Lorrie Ritter travel far and wide for the best local snd national musical talent! Combine that with great food , a huge bar snd engaged staff, it is always an awesome evening out“

“Carlton was our server last night, and I would just like to say that he is amazing! We are here visiting for my husband and I wedding anniversary. He built a rapport and continued to check in with us while our dinner was being cooked and was attentive to detail.“

“Scott and his team are awesome! They accommodated a large party for us at the last minute. They also put up with our wild and crazy kids on a Friday night! Great service, great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“We come here often because we live close by and, after several months of trying various restaurants, we’re convinced that this is our favorite. The food and the service is always good and the place feels welcoming and relaxing. Every server and bartender is friendly and we always feel right at home.“

“Poseidons rooftop bar is a great place to eat dinner and get drinks! We had Adrienne as a server and she was super fun and had a great personality. This is an awesome place on the water. The food is delicious and the drinks are super fun. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great vacay restaurant!!!“

“Place is cute as a button. Meals were delicious ! Music relaxing. Service great. Going back“

“Food was excellent. salad with pears,gorgonzola, walnuts lemon dressing,fried or sauteed calamari,pasta carbonara. Must try. Waiter was Antonio and made a birthday dinner 5 star.“

“Fresh seafood caught daily! She-crab soup, crab cake and fried shrimp was today’s late lunch. Everything was delicious. Great service too🤗“

“Great people, amazing food, and good vibes!“

“Look the food is great. The wait staff is spread a little thin, but that seems to be everywhere right now. As such you wait a bit longer than you should both to be waited on and for delivery of drinks, checking on etc... But the location is unbeatable, they have live music and the food is great. My Mom had a burger and came back the next day for another. I almost always have the blackened Mahi sandwich, which is always good, but today I had the Jerk Chicken Mango salad. The dressing was bright, the greens were fresh and the salad was probably one of the best I have had in quite some time. Given that I have always thought of the place as a sandwich and beer kinda joint, that is really saying something. Will never hesitate to eat here... and beats the PANTS off the adjacent crazy crab!“

“This spot on HHI is amazing - we like to find hidden gems, and places where locals go when we travel and we found one of the BEST! Yall have to try Street Meet next time you visit HHI - Service was fabulous and the food was even better! We will be back😍“

“we absolutely love the sage room!“

“Payton was our favorite server on the island! She was sweet, polite and quick to serve! It was very hot and busy, but she didn’t let any of that affect her. The renovations at the Tiki Hut are fantastic as well!“

“Stop in to Mixx on Main. A hidden gem at the North end of the Island, just off 278. Reasonably priced, great food - American and Mexican fare. No wait, and no reservations needed. Come find us!“

“Always the best pizza around. Our server - Angel - was the best.“

“Excellent service and wonderful menu options“

“Great meal and great service. We have had some less then spectacular dining experiences while on HHI, however this made us forget the rest. Will definitely return next time we are in HHI“

“😀 Great hamburger! Fries hot and crispy!! Pleasant staff. Affordable.“

“Our family had a great meal at Tio’s on Tuesday night. Our server was Maria and she was excellent! Very friendly, professional and efficient.“

“FANTASTIC HAPPY HOUR! $1 oysters, 50¢ shrimp, $3.00 tacos & more. Always greeted with a smile. If you are looking forward to REALLY good eats & friendly faces... Brother Shuckers is where you should be. And, food is served til midnight....yay!“

“Everything on the menu Is 5 Stars. Wexford Rueben is my favorite. This is the Scoe Burger with bacon. Delicious. GREAT service!!!“

“A a hidden gem on Hilton Head Island. The food is exceptional, the décor is beautiful, and the ambiance strikes just the right balance—elegant without being too formal. While the service was excellent, the real standout is the food. It's easily one of our new favorite spots on the island. If you're expecting typical “American-style” Mexican food, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you're seeking authentic Mexican cuisine infused with touches of traditional Spanish flavors, this is absolutely the place to go.“

“The food was good, but we had a really weird experience at the beginning. My mother and I walked in and requested a table for two. The hostess says “do you have a reservation, we don’t take walk ins.” We didn’t have a reservation so we left. But I was so hungry after just getting off a plane that I didn’t want to search for a new place. I looked up Jane online and made a res for 1:00 (it was 12:49… and there were tons of available time slots). So we walked back in and told the same hostess we had a reservation. Then while we sat and waited 10 min for a table we listened to her tell other walk ins it was a 10 min wait. The whole thing was so strange. I think my salad was good, but definitely annoyed by the initial service (waitress super sweet though).“

“I travel all over the US for work and eat BBQ everywhere I go. I usually go for brisket over pulled pork, but went with the pork for dinner today. Absolutely fantastic pulled pork, it was delicious. Best potato salad I’ve had, baked beans were amazing. Sauces were super tasty as well. I’ve been spoiled by eating tons of Texas bbq, but Forrest Fire BBQ can hold its own anywhere.“

“We were there for a celebration of life and we couldn’t ask for better food and better service! Patrick was on top of it! From start to finish the staff was amazing. They went over and above, which was beyond amazing during a very difficult day. Highly recommend!“

“Me and my family travel to HHI every year and always stay at The Westin and eat here for breakfast. All the servers are great, especially Randy and Patrick ( I forgot the other servers names.) The buffet ranges from bacon, potatos, cereal, grits, oatmeal and scrambled eggs all the way to made to order omlettes and eggs and fresh honeycomb. The buffet has options for everyone. You don't just have to get the buffet, you can order from a menu but I would HIGHLY recommend the buffet.“

“Our pool server, Caroline, was so great - friendly and fast service! We enjoyed poolside lunch and enjoyed everything our family of five ordered. One of our daughters has a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and she not only enjoyed her meal, but had no reaction. They can make most menu items GF with gluten free bread/bun or no croutons. Thank you!“
