After a day of Myrtle Beach fun, what better way to cool off than with a pint of your favorite ale, IPA, or lager? A beer is only as good as the atmosphere where you enjoy it. Luckily, Myrtle Beach has lots of joints that offer that in big ways.
Upscale cocktail lounges to gritty dive bars with jamming live music, you’ll find it all here.
Order a round of old standards, or try a unique craft beer. We’ll even suggest the best appetizer to split with your drinking mates while you’re there. Here are a few local favorites. Check websites for current offerings.
What Exactly is a Craft Beer?
Craft beer comes from an often independently-owned brewery.
Sometimes called microbreweries, they create less volume than bigger establishments. Selections often have clever names and unique flavors. Bottle and can design are also distinctive for most. Many bars serve their own house-made brew; others feature a craft brewery’s wares, often local.
