Best & Cool Bars in Coastal Carolina University

"Rated #1 on Trip Advisor for seafood restaurants in Myrtle Beach, we couldn’t agree more. My son was set on finding fresh fish for dinner our first night in North Myrtle Beach. After a little internet research, we decided to drive and inspect some of my findings in person."

"This fine-dining restaurant on the north side of town is part eatery, part art gallery, and all good. The dining areas are separated by private rooms and open lounge areas while the walls display the works of some of the region’s top artists. Perfect for drinks or a romantic dinner, the artwork creates an upscale ambiance and plenty of conversation pieces."

"Collecter’s Cafe and Gallery is unique to this list because it functions as a restaurant and an art gallery simultaneously. You can sit down for a delicious meal while admiring over 100 paintings and sculptures from local and worldwide artists, and if you like one you can take it home. Let us know which gallery you’re most excited to visit!"

"It’s upscale dining, combined with a coffeehouse and art gallery. Lots of beauty in that combination. You can actually purchase art you see on the walls."

"Take in the breezy beach views and enjoy live entertainment and classic beach fare at this popular beachfront spot. Ideal for groups and families, stop in for a casual lunch after a busy day at the beach or for a relaxing oceanfront dinner. Bummz provides ample oceanfront seating and some of the best beach views in town!"

"Become a true beach bum while hanging out at the bar at Bummz. Here, guests will find a large outdoor deck complete with tiki torches that set a chilled-out mood. Also, Bummz has an outdoor stage where local bands play familiar songs that will entertain you while you relax with a drink in hand."

"Joe's Bar & Grill has been a local's favorite in North Myrtle Beach for more than 30 years. Built on the premise of casual fine-dining within an oversized waterfront hunting lodge motif, Joe's Bar..."

"The service was excellent and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing!. This is definitely one of the nicer/ classier restaurants in..."

"Suck Bang Blow is a full-fledged biker bar, but don't let that intimidate you. Both staff and customers go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, which makes it perhaps the most popular bar in the area. Admire the lavish Harley's parked outside and relax with a cold beer."

"It was awesome, I literally met Mike PentzLots of views and stuff and thangs n all 2 see, found me a pair of club master Ray-BansReally enjoyed myself people..."

"Like the name implies, dinner and drinks here are a live science experiment. This downtown Myrtle beach restaurant specializes in molecular gastronomy, with bizarrely-good plates like root beer, sesame-glazed, sous-vide lamb ribs over an artichoke quinoa risotto or scallops served over wakame, with sweet Thai butter and lemon “caviar.” Many of the drinks come smoking or served in lab equipment, like the frosty “flux capacitor” with St Germaine, Tito’s Vodka, lemon juice, house-made blackberry simple syrup, muddled mint leaves and a soda floater."

"If you’re looking for a unique dining experience check out The Chemist, located at 300 9th Avenue North. Try one of their craft cocktail concoctions served in a beaker glass while you browse the menu. Order an experiment (a Chemist appetizer) like ahi poke tuna or sweet potato tots served with a bacon maple dip."

"When was the last time you sat down to eat at a restaurant and a glass of liquid with smoke coming out of it was placed on your table?. I appreciate chefs and mixologists that are ambitious and artistic. This is clearly exhibited at the Chemist, making it a must on this Myrtle Beach Restaurants Guide!"

"This Italian-American restaurant offering italian cusines along with Pasta and Sushi. Restaurant has lounge area and HD projection screens, live entertainment. Italian Cuisine • Vegetarian Friendly"

"With TVs lining the walls and around the bar area, you can catch every game and not miss a minute of the action. Aside from entertainment, King Street Grille also has amazing food. They offer all of the traditional American bar food you would expect but with their own twist."

"This popular grocery store is the anchor venue of the Coastal North plaza. Sometimes the plaza is referred to as the Publix shopping center."

"Found on 38th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, this family-run Japanese eatery prepares delicious dining options including specialty appetizers (such as edamame, seaweed salad and dumplings), grilled combos, rice bowls and sushi (maki and makimono), as well as a lineup of express bowls for diners in a hurry. Visit to explore the full menu."

"I don't like them as much as the rice, but a little change is nice every so often ?. A post shared by Bridget Dillon (@onebusybee) on Oct 16, 2013 at 8:38pm PDT. This hibachi spot (open ’til midnight for you night owls!) uses oil instead of butter in its fried rice, veggies, and tofu."

"Yamato’s claims to be South Carolina’s original Japanese Steakhouse. The dining room is dim and communal with the clinking and clattering of utensils on the flat top griddle only interrupted by random spurts of laughter, thrilled by the Teppanyaki theatrics – most people are in awe of the onion volcano but the showstopper is when the chef molds the mound of rice into the shape of an heart and then uses his spatula to make it look like its beating. If you’re fortunate, chef Ken will roll his cart to your table."

"Found at Myrtle Beach hot spot Broadway at the Beach and known as the “best-tasting show in Myrtle Beach” since 1996, this casual Japanese restaurant offers a range of Tappanyaki treats such as hibachi-cooked chicken, shrimp, steak, lobster and scallops, all served with fried rice and fresh vegetables. A selection of sushi and sashimi offerings is also available here. Visit to see the full menu."
