6 Best Pubs near Pawleys Island

“My husband and I stopped in for dinner after a round of golf at True Blue. I expected a place with great beer choices but typical “bar food” dining choices. I was extremely impressed with the food quality. I ate a wonderfully fresh salad and the balsamic poppyseed dressing was addictive. Hubby ate crab cakes and the fried green tomatoes side was the best we’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend this place and we will be back soon!!“

“This is everything you want from a proper English pub. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, it strikes the perfect balance between old-world charm and genuine comfort. The atmosphere is cosy without feeling cramped, and the friendly staff make you feel like a regular even on your first visit.

The drinks selection is excellent, with well-kept ales, solid lagers, and a thoughtfully chosen wine list. The food is classic pub fare done right. The fish & chips are a standout—crispy, golden batter, flaky fish, and proper chunky chips—while the soft pretzels (giant) make the perfect snack alongside a pint.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink, a relaxed meal, or a long catch-up with friends, this pub delivers every time. A true local gem and exactly what an English pub should be.“

“We went down to Rats at the Beaver and C-10s after dark. The Beaver Bar had a great turn out for both shows. I am impressed at the way they kept traffic flowing getting the vehicles inside to park as well as getting the ones out who were leaving before the show was over. These people have their ducks in a row and know how to do things. I wish other shows we go to would learn how to do this.“
