50 Best Bars near Surfside Beach

“A great place for a cold one.the price is right and the beer is cold The bartender was friendly and kept them coming. Can’t think of a better way to support local business which is important .remember if you have a problem there the problem is you“

“We hadn’t been to California Dreaming in awhile and were reminded what we missed. NFL was on so didn’t miss our sports, places busy but got a good table and not so noisy that we couldn’t hear ourselves talk, best fluffy croissants and tender chicken fingers with amazing batter and when grandson requested fettuccini plain with butter..”no problem” and the service was amazing. Very efficient server, John, got our drink orders quickly with refills just before we finished the first, read my mind to add another plate so I could share, added extra ketchup without asking. And the wait wasn’t long so to sum it up 5 stars for food, atmosphere, price and service!!!!“

“Malibu was the first Italian restaurant we went to when we moved to Myrtle Beach. We loved it then and still do. However, on our recent visit, another couple joined us. We discovered they don’t do separate checks. They explained, but for 4 people adding up the bill isn’t hard. Most restaurants will do separate checks. The other thing I noticed, they’re portions have gotten smaller. The first time I had Mama’s sauce I could barely finish it. Not this time. Significantly smaller. I hope they change their portions.“

“great service,great food ,big portions,we definitely will be back“

“Join us for Friday night karaoke 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM“

“By far the best restaurant we have eaten at from North Myrtle to Surfside! The blackened Mahi Mahi was the best I’ve ever eaten! It had my daughter & I fighting over the fork. Make sure to try the ribs, pulled pork & those fried green tomatoes too (they had me coming back to Virginia searching for green tomatoes). Our waitress, Shay, took wonderful care of us & almost has us convinced to make the move to Surfside. We’ll definitely be visiting every time we make the journey back to the coast.“

“We love the Sundown!
Have always felt welcome by the staff and the people that are patrons. Great food for great prices. Our favorite thing is the live music they always have! We've always seen really talented bands.
Thanks to the owners for having such a fun place.
We always look for a local pub.
And this is a gem.“

“We are here often when we are down. Friendly, laid back, beautiful view (beach front), entertainment often, and great prices! We have NEVER waited for a drink, even when busy. Always greeted on arrival, and responsive, so I'm not certain what the situation was on a previous post? We love it (and apparently so do many, as the deck is generally full). ❤️“

“Great wings. I’m from Pittsburgh and we love our wings but couldn’t find any restaurant that could make good wings. Fat Jacks is the best on the beach. Cold beer, crispy big fat wings.“

“We had an awesome Halloween sunset cruise! The staff is fun and delightful, the trip around the inlet was relaxing and pretty. Everyone around us was vibing and being good neighbors. If you come in looking for a great time you will find it, attitude and expectations should be set upon arrival! It was well worth it. We had the best time and plan to return! 💜“

I had a cheesesteak and French fries, the fries were great, the cheesesteak was phenomenal. A relaxing fun night! Great live music, food and service a ten all around.“

“Dingy, dark Irish pub offering juicy burgers in a sports bar atmosphere. A complete menu of burgers, wings, soups and salads, handhelds and finger foods, appetizers and Irish fare with high chairs and tables, padded booths and outdoor seating. Pool table, electronic darts, flat screen TVs, beer and road signs and everything Irish round out the decor. The Pittsburgh burger was a sizable patty of fresh ground beef topped with a sunny side up egg, melted American cheese, fries, crispy bacon, lettuce, sliced tomato and pickles served on a toasted bun. A heaping side of crispy fries come with the meal. Full service bar, flavorful food and friendly service have the locals returning.“

“I was in town for a Christmas Girls trip get away. Went to the Merrills Inlet Christmas Parade last night, and came across the store on our walk. I was so impressed! Huge variety of drinks that I have been looking for. Huge variety of edibles, and pre-rolls too. Got several items before the Parade. Ended up standing near by and went back not once, but twice!! Also loved the sitting area and admired all of the artwork. Will definitely go back & recommend to friends when I know they're traveling. I'm in a rural area between Raleigh & Fayetteville, and I wish I had a cool store like this to visit! Awesome experience all around!“

“We were there on March 15, 2023last week. The food was great, great atmosphere, the staff was great. We loved the entertainment also. It was great all around!!“

Stop in right off the boardwalk or stay, Scott will mix you up your favorite blender drinks, using top shelf and top notch entertainment. Sing away, cause everyone's having a great time here. Thank you my friend, we will be back! Tip your bartenders.“

“Didn't go in just did the drive-thru Festa Italiano. Looks like a real nice club. We got eggplant parmesan, stuffed shells and meatballs with sauce. We enjoyed them all. However, we also ordered and paid for, a quart of sauce. Should have checked because when we got home that sauce was missing.“

“After working, nothing better to come hear and relax, hey, even on my days off, great crowd and you gotta love a good old talk with the bar tenders and certain days it’s free pizza and tacos Tuesday, what more can you ask for, it’s a 10 /10 for me , go on up and give it a try“

“We come to Myrtle Beach all the time from Buffalo New York. We just came back yesterday. We had such a great time here it is always are favorite in the area!!!! Coming from Buffalo, we love chicken wings and they are the best chicken wings around that you can get. The staff is so extremely friendly and welcoming. I wish I would have got the girl's name. I guess she's been there about 4 months. She was there, the nights we were there and so sweet. The cook is always so nice.Always comes out and talks to everyone. Again, I can't say enough about this place. Thank you for always being so kind every very time we visit and serving up the best food ever!!!!!!!! Can't wait to come back!!!!!!!“

“Kristina is the best! 🍻 🍻🍻“

“This is my first stay here and absolutely love it! The thing that really sold me on this place when I got here was the secured parking garage! Such a relief knowing my vehicle is safe. Large resort, pools and hot tubs! Direct beach access and absolutely gorgeous views of the ocean from the room and the pools!“

“Drinks are cold and tasty, the people at the hut are super nice and mullet the cat is still hanging around. Make sure to get there early to grab some of the rum punch. They only make so much for a day and when it's sold out it's sold out.Again super nice people and chill atmosphere.“

“The best bar !! I hated bars before jakes now I won't go anywhere else“

“Try their mozzarella sticks they’re very good. The drinks aren’t the best but they’re perfect for the poolside. I had the Bloody Mary and it didn’t taste as good I expected more from it for the price I paid. The people working there are “

“We spent the evening here for my son’s 9th birthday. The food was amazing and as always the games were a blast. We had some issues when it was time to change in our tickets but Tanya went above and beyond to help us and made my son’s birthday a little more special. Thank you Tanya!“

“I've been eating at El Noa Noa for 20 years and it never disappoints. The patio is my favorite on warm summer nights. Feels like an escape from the city outside. Extremely friendly staff. Great salsa. The food is straightforward Mexican fare - exceptional tamales. I don't drink but all my friends love the margaritas. It is a madhouse on First Fridays in the Santa Fe Arts District - the place to be! Always a good choice for any day of the week.“

“The 3 bedroom condo we rented was clean and nicely decorated, it was great seeing that the pool, deck, and hot tub repairs after hurricane Ian were completed, We noticed that the company that puts out beach chairs and umbrellas for rent was moving private chairs and umbrellas so theirs could take priority on the beach in front of the entire condo complex. They groomed the beach several times which made it nice.“

“Not a local, but I come to the area to visit my sister's family. I had a great time at this bar. Hutch, the bartender was very attentive. I felt welcomed here at all times. I will definitely be returning next time I visit the area.“

“Best costumer service! Drinks are ice cold and bartenders are the kindest most hospitable severs I’ve came across on the grand strand. The blonde hair girl and younger gentleman were both working when me and my husband came in to celebrate a birthday. Will definitely be coming back soon!“

“Awesome food ! We have enjoyed QD when we vacation ❤️“

“Food is A-1. Tacos are the best authentic tasting. Very great prices for everything!! 2x in a row there. Will be coming in to watch Football too!!!! Highest recommendation by me!!! Desiree is a great bartender. Very nice. Quick. 💯💯✔️✔️“

“Great bar in a great location. However they have an angry elf behind the bar that apparently needs a good attitude adjustment! She was down right rude when asked for different beers! I will take my business elsewhere if she is behind the bar. We are not tourist and live in the area. No! is her favorite answer to any question about their beer selection, so don’t ask….“

“We try to stop here every time We stay in Myrtle Beach. It has always been good. Today was no different. I have to give a shout out to Jessica our Server as She was very attentive. Making sure We had everything We needed in a timely fashion.“

“First time visiting. Food and service were excellent!“
