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 go to California dream and frequently the last two times have been not our favorite times the first time I ordered the ribs salad coleslaw my husband said he wanted the same thing and the waitress questioned what I had ordered and he confirmed that's what he wanted, what he got was two racks of ribs instead of one so I told her you know this is OK. We got two racks. Next thing I know she comes over with a plate takes her hands and picks up the top rack on my husband‘s ribs and put them on the plate. I said don't worry about it will pay for it. We'll just take it home. She said no now it was my fault I said if you're gonna throw it away, she said oh no the staff will eat it. I was in such shock. I didn't know what to do. The past time we were here was last night. It was not busy and yet the waiter was pushing and pushing and pushing us to order pushing us to get our bill never asked if we want dessert my husband I ordered dessert. He brings the bills our other friends want coffee, but couldn't grab him before he ran off so we had to redo his bill. I just felt like we were very much rushed for no reason whatsoever sorry for the bad reviews. it's generally our favorite place to go, and we have been terribly disappointed the last two times.“

“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.“

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

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

“The food and prices are very good. It was just a little confusing when we arrived. There was no sign that said seat yourself (or we missed it) so we were kind of mulling around trying to figure it out. The tables were put together so there were not any tables for 2 or 4, just 6 or 8. Eventually we figured it out (seat yourself). Generally the bands play outside, but with iffy weather they played inside. I was so looking forward to being outside, but that being said, they were excellent! The Coastal Boys Band. The food was very good and we will be visiting again. It's just a relaxing local bar with good food, good music and a laid back atmosphere.“

“Great food, excellent service!! best fried catfish“

“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.“

“The Noizy Oyster is my new favorite restaurant at Myrtle Beach! Great service, Great food! I had the grilled oysters with Parmesan cheese and garlic, and the shrimp tacos ANDDD, the hibiscus margarita that was so good I had another! Our waiter, Kyle was very attentive and a pleasant server. I’m already looking forward to my next visit here!“

“Just spent the evening on pie eyed parrot and it was wonderful! My boyfriend and I tried all the Halloween drinks and our favorite was the cookies and scream- second was the purple people eater!! Least favorite was probably the witch martini :/ overall though the drinks and experience was 11/10!! Thank you Paige for an amazing time!“

“Food, Service and Atmosphere are 5 Star all the way. I had a sizzling steak. Can't wait to go back.“

“Keith(No Sweat) gave us 5 star service! He explained the different drinks to us. He mixed and matched his favorites for us to sample and gave recommendations for those we chose to try. Offered us the refillable tumbler which we purchased and returned the next day for another drink at the discounted price. Thanks Keith for the awesome customer service. Hope to see you again on our next visit.“

“Loved it. Went for the pinball on a rainy afternoon with wife and two boys 14 and 9, felt comfortable, and the staff is awesome. Pinball is maintained well, as are most of the video games. Food is good, tacos are $3, go for the grilled shrimp tacos! Pizza and fries were good as well. We will return!“

“my burger was perfect! it was karaoke night lol... thanks Kelcy she was an awesome waitress. ps. the brownie sundae was delicious.“

“One of my favorite places to get a burger in Myrtle Beach. Service is always great and such a fun atmosphere.“

“Great place to have a drink💕👀“

“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.“

“Looking for a fantastic place to wind down and choose from a large variety of bourbons? This is it. I highly recommend.“

“staff is super nice n helpful! would recommend to anyone in the area💟“

“Love it here. The bands are great and the bartenders are fabulous!!!“

“My granddaughter Kadie Naumann recommended this Bar and grill. we love polish food and they have really good food plus other types of food. Everything I've ever had was good and Savanah was top notch server. She really took care of us.We can't wait to go back.“

“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“

“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.“

“I have been going there for about 5 years now. Have met some people that I can call friends. Great atmosphere and the staff is very attentive to everyone’s needs.“

“"Hot beer, lousy food, bad service" is obviously the way to attract my attention to go inside (it's on their sign). I guess I just love red flags! The service was great and friendly bartender. Food was good, we just stuck to apps but we enjoyed them. Drink prices were fair but to be expected right next to the beach and the main strip area. Has a good ol dive bar feel that we love. We didn't check the Bowery next door but they have music at night and looked like a good place to stop, next time. They must be tied to each other since in some way since the bartender suggested it.“

“Contrary to some of the reviews about speed. I walked up waited a min, ordered a drink and I got it so fast. I'm sure they can get busy it's a 1 man show. Not only was the service fast and friendly my lava daiquiri was amazing, probably the best drink on my stay so far. Nice pato and beach loungers make for a relaxing day in the sun. Glad I stopped by. Will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. 💯💯✔️✔️“

“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 “

“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.“

“THEY ACTUALLY HAVE GATOR! And the atmosphere and staff are wonderful and hospitable. c'mon down! Wednesdays are nice and slow too '"^*^~“

“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!“

“Kristina is the best! 🍻 🍻🍻“

“Cute place! Very friendly! The food was Great!! You should check this place out.“

“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.“
