49 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“

“Where do I start. I was recommended this place by a colleague and I must say from entrance to service it was better than any high end restaurant I have been to. Madison was my waitress so this review is for you. Super welcoming, gave me a lot of recommendations and substitute favorites, refilled my drink without me asking or even being completely finished, and even set me up with dessert when I was already full. This is the best service I have received to memory. To do all of this two weeks before she is due to deliver her daughter Anna is amazing and heaven sent. She was full of grace.
So if you are the owner, manager, or anyone with authority to act, I call for you to pay her while she is away on maternity leave in full as if she worked and collected tips. When she returns, promote her. Give her a promotion.
Madison, remember in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, when your daughter smiles and claps her hands, that is your sign she received the greatest gift God can give anyone.
The salad was first in class and the honey butter croissants, my God, they were yummy.“

“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“

“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.“

“I don’t always walk into a sports pub planning to stay for one game and leave after three, but when I do, it’s because a place like this got everything right.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew this wasn't just another restaurant with a few televisions hanging on the wall pretending to be a sports bar.

This is the kind of place where the food matters, the drinks are cold, the staff knows your name after a couple visits, and every big play somehow feels bigger when you're watching it surrounded by other fans.

The atmosphere hits the sweet spot. Family-friendly enough to bring the kids for dinner, lively enough to meet friends for the game, and comfortable enough that nobody is checking their watch wondering when it's time to leave.

The menu is loaded with crowd-pleasers, but what impressed me most was the consistency. Every plate coming out of the kitchen looked like something you'd be happy to steal a bite of from the next table. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and nobody left hungry.

Parking was easy. Service was attentive. The restaurant was clean. The televisions were positioned perfectly throughout the building, meaning there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

As a husband and father, I've learned that finding a place everyone agrees on is harder than it should be. One person wants burgers. Another wants wings. Someone wants a salad. Somebody else wants to watch the game.

This place solves all of those problems at once.

The real magic, though, is the atmosphere. By the end of the meal, you realize you're not sitting in a restaurant.

You're sitting in the community's living room.

The place where birthdays are celebrated, victories are cheered, friendships are built, and Monday somehow becomes a little more interesting.

I came in expecting good food and a game on TV.

I left understanding why the parking lot stays full.

Some restaurants serve meals. The best ones become traditions. This is one of them.

Stay hungry, my friends. 🍔🍺🏈😎“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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.

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 “

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

“Kristina is the best! 🍻 🍻🍻“

“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.“

“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. 💯💯✔️✔️“

“Tanya was so amazing she made our experience 100 times better. If it weren’t for Tanya I don’t know where I’d be. Thank you Tanya. You are the greatest Buster ever.“

“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!!!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“I went on a Saturday around 9:30pm. The staff was friendly and they allowed me sample few daiquiris. May not be the best place to meet someone if you are in a solo trip. No was sitting at the bar, people were in and out. I would go back though. I suggest that u get a shot in the drink. It was not a strong drink at all without it.“

“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….“

“Exceptional service and food every time! Always a favorite place to visit when in SC“

“The surf & turf combo with steak and crab legs was amazing!! Great customer service too!!“
