17 Best Cocktail Bars near Hilton Head Island

“We sat outside. Our food was absolutely amazing, our server was great he even offered to take a photo of us with our food. We had the mojo chicken quesadilla appetizer- for $16 I thought we would get a little more than 3 pieces but it was good. The boil, jerk chicken, and lobster Mac was great!“

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

“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!“

“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 .“

“Finally decided to stop by and try truffles on our way back home on Hilton Head. Sat at the bar for lunch very pleasant atmosphere. Lots of people in the dining and patio areas. We had the salads which were absolutely over the top delicious. Watching the other dishes come out of the kitchen looked equally as awesome. Unsweetened iced tea was some of the best I’ve had in a restaurant no chemical taste very rewarding.“

“Have had almost everything on the menu at this point and have never had anything that wasn't absolutely amazing. You cannot go wrong with any of there pizzas or pasta dishes. Service is always top notch and its a noce cozy yet elegant atmosphere. One of our favorite dinner spots in town.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
