Cool Cats Lounge

In town for a week and a half. Needed to find my happy place -- a dive bar. Found it! Full of locals. GREAT bartender. Great prices.

Probably the cleanest dive bar I've ever visited.

This is a great little local bar with an awesome bartender and cool patrons. We had a blast and the AC works great on those hot days. Happy Hour 3-7.

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.

Great dive bar, don’t think they have good, that’s why one star for food. Turns out they do have good. Updated to 4 stars for food. Either way, great bar.

Fun joint on Hilton Head Island that was actually pretty busy for a Tuesday night during the off season. Seemed like a local haunt, enjoyed hanging out and watching the boys attempt to hit the dartboard. :-)

Non-locals, we stopped in for Thursday night pub trivia and had a great time. They let us put together tables for a team of 7.

We brought in pizza and takeout from The Smokehouse, which was really convenient.

Matt was a fun trivia host, the bar staff was super accommodating, and the regulars were friendly and welcoming.

The bar atmosphere and we enjoyed besides the bartender, prices were good. The bartender was a heavier middle aged man, think he was wearing a hat. He was very rude, turned to people at the bar and said “sorry a bunch of 5 year olds just walked in” (we’re 23… lol) and was just overall very rude and just killed the vibe so much we ended up leaving. I’m a bartender and I just don’t understand treating people you’ve never met like that. We were all polite and none of us had a good experience interacting with him :/ but the female bartender was nice!

We came here to lay low after a day on the beach. It reminded me of our hometown hole in the wall bar we frequent. We were told it would get crunk when the DJ started, but we left at 1140 and there was no DJ yet. But that was fine because we enjoyed the low key drinking and chatting. Would go back.

We have an absolute blast kicking off my bachelorette party here! This little dive bar felt like a little slice of home for us. Our bartender, Andi, was the kindest soul and so patient with our party. Along with the owner, Michael, they welcomed us in and celebrated with us!! Next time I’m here this will likely be my first stop!!

Thank you Cool Cats Lounge!
