21 Best Cocktail 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 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). ❤️“

“Visited this establishment for the first time yesterday and loved it! Enjoyed the atmosphere, food was excellent, and we had one of the best servers we’ve had in Myrtle Beach-I believe her name was Devin. She was on top of things and had such a fun personality! We will definitely be visiting again and asking for Devin of course lol.“

“We stayed in the hotel two nights for 2026 new year and ate at Reel three times. Everything we tried was delicious the servers were great. The prices were very reasonable for the current economy. Would stay at the hotel just to go to the restaurant again.“

“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!“

“Don’t sleep on this location. We had a double IPA, a cider, and two specialty coffees — all well done, and the coffee program is a legit standout for a brewery. The space has a relaxed, coastal-industrial vibe, and it was fun seeing how much range they offer beyond just beer.

We didn’t eat this visit, but the food coming out around us looked excellent and absolutely earned a return trip. Another bonus: cocktails are available, which makes this a great stop whether you’re in the mood for beer, coffee, or something mixed. Solid drinks, inviting atmosphere, and clearly a place doing things right.“

“Abigail did a great job attending to our group. She followed up regularly and had a terrific demeaner and attitude.“

“My wife and I joined in September and are certainly hooked on this wonderful place. Top notch fun at a reasonable price. You can go play for a daily rate ($30) and it is well worth it or join for $25 a month and play unlimited mini golf, cornhole, ping pong, tons of big TVs, and much, much, more included. They have special events for members and tournaments weekly, so much fun! Chad runs the tourneys and has done an amazing job! We hope for lots more tourneys and events. Oh, and the food, service, and people are top shelf! Go check it out, let's play!“

“We had dinner at Perrone's Restaurant last night and every aspect of our meal was great. From friendly bartenders to attentive servers, we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. We tried an octopus and a mussel appetizer, and both were flavorful and delicious. The mussel sauce in particular was so good, I could have sopped it up with an entire loaf of bread. Entrees were generous portions, and the chocolate cake for dessert was really good. If you are within an hour of this restaurant and have not tried it, you're missing one of the two or three best on the entire Grand Strand.“

“The food, waitress and atmosphere were excellent. We'll definitely be back. The grouper bites and asian salad were delicious. Thanks for having a GF menu too ! Spouse had a great fish fry basket. Glad we ate here !“

“The staff was amazing. We were in town for MBJJ and will definitely come back next year if not sooner“

“A#1 bartender, Kimmi Duke! Great service, food, atmosphere, friendly staff and location! Check them out! You will not regret!🫶🌅☀️⛱️“

“My wife and I had our first experience at Gios this week for our anniversary. Laurie was our server and was phenomenal. I had the Veal Mediterranean and my wife enjoyed the Chicken Alfredo. We enjoyed the charcuterie board and the escargot for appetizers and finished with the Tiramisu. Everything was fantastic! We will be back!“

“The beverages were fantastic and our bartender, Bubba, made us feel at home plus assured us their food was even better. And it was! I have already invited other family members to join us at Coconut Charlie’s and they enjoyed the place, the food, and the drinks as much as we did. Thank you Bubba! And a shout out to Zuezan (the evening bartender) too.“

“exelente lugar para ir a comer mariscos con la familia“

“Had dinner and drinks on Thankgiving eve. The restaurant and bar were packed. Our appetizers and meals were great. The portions huge! We sat at a table on the bar side. Our waiter, Steven was exceptional. This young man enjoys what he's doing and it shows. Thanks for a great meal and experience.“

“Our family and a bunch of our friends had a great time at Sharkey’s, the ocean view is spectacular, the food and the drinks were top notch! We highly recommend!“

“Was a wonderful experience sat at the bar, our bartender was Timber love the name by the way! Tiptop service drinks he made were mouthwatering 🤤 😊 was so kind,funny, went above and beyond to make sure our every need was met! Will definitely refer friends and family to come eat enjoy the live music and to definitely ask for Timber to take care of them! 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Don't believe the negative reviews the food was awesome! Why the rating is 3.4 is a mystery. I would eat here over and over again. There is another restaurant nearby and I won't mention the name but somehow they have a 4.7 rating and in my opinion it should be in the 2.0 range.“

“This is our fourth visit here. As always the food is excellent. We have never had a bad tasting dish. The lamb hyperbadi curry (Indian hot) is my favorite but my family likes the chicken korma best. The samosas, tandoori chicken, and the paneer tikka appetizers were always a favorite of our family. We highly recommend this restaurant and we look forward to our next visit!“

“Great live entertainment last night (7/16) outside! The food, drinks, and service was spot on as well.“
