“I recently had the pleasure of dining at 44 & King, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! We started with the charcuterie for two, and let me tell you, it was a generous spread. The prosciutto paired beautifully with the apricot jelly, creating a delightful balance of flavors that left us wanting more. For our main course, we tried the steak flatbread, which was nothing short of impressive. The combination of tender steak and fresh toppings made each bite a treat. I was also thrilled to find Virgil Kaine bourbon on their menu. The blueberry bourbon smash was a delightful concoction, perfectly refreshing and bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the owner personally stopped by our table to check in, and their warm hospitality truly made us feel valued. Overall, 44 & King exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another memorable meal! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Was in your place a couple weeks ago, great Great Food, my wife and I Celebrated my very special 49Th Anniversary of May 14, 1974, had a fun Time.We will be back.“

“The new owner, food, cocktails and vibe are awesome!“

“We've gone to Legends 2 years in a row now and we love finishing the day at Ailsa. Good food, good atmosphere and more importantly great service. Kelly is top notch!!! and the rest of the team is great. They helped make our long weekend at Legends even better. Quite honestly, the clubhouse service team could learn and thing or two from the Ailsa team.“

“Popped in for a few cocktails at happy hour. Drinks are reasonably priced. This place has a dive bar feel, which is not bad but maybe not right for everyone. Staff was attentive and personable decor is somewhat old but it was once a home that was converted to a pub.“

“Excellent appetizers, burgers and brews! Recommend highly!“

“The Taco Salad is the best I have found anywhere!!!!!“

“Wow! For short, Walked in for a breakfast I heard about through the grapevine and well I had the time, Sunday morning walking into an unknown place and being greeted by Leslie(sorry if I spelt that wrong) the owner and had a very nice conversation, I received my plate and off to the food, I ate as much as I could, without having to take a nap. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. The lady Allison behind the bar was phenomenal and service was beyond expectations. Highly recommend if you haven't been here, these folks are amazing and the community is lucky to have them here. Highly recommend“

“Our new beach hangout. We found this hidden gem by accident. Excellent staff and food. They made us feel like family. See yall in December on our next trip.“

“Fun atmosphere, great bartenders--especially Teresa--and reasonable drink prices. Outside bar and concert area is cool“

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

“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“

“I have been searching for THE BEST burger in Myrtle Beach, and I have found it!!! Hands down THE ABSOLUTE BEST BURGER I have ever had!!!! Go get one!!! About half a dozen to choose from (I had the Southwest Burger) all made “smashburger” style. OH MY GOD!!!!! 🍔“

“Absolutely loved this stop. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. East to have conversations with and lots of recommendations. Food was excellent. Garlic parm wings were delicious. Wish we found this sooner along our stay. will definitely be recommending. Thank you to the evening staff working 7/2/25 around 9pm. Live music was amazing. wish I could bring them all back to New York with us. thank you all from your Canadian Border New Yorkers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome staff and delicious food!!!“

“We always tend to come to Fat Tuesdays when we're down in Myrtle Beach. Wet Willies doesn't compare with their drinks. Fat Tuesday's drinks are always on point, but the employees could use a shake-up. This time, they were not attentive, forgetting one of our drinks (three drinks were on our order) as well as one guy seemingly griping about making a particular drink that we ordered.“
