The Ultimate Myrtle Beach Happy Hour Guide

A day at the beach calls for a refreshing drink, a few good bites, and somewhere to enjoy the ocean breeze. Luckily, Myrtle Beach has plenty of happy hour spots to choose from, whether you’re looking for a laid-back beach bar, a rooftop view, or a lively place to catch the game. If you’re staying at The Breakers Resort, some great options are right on the property or just a short walk away.

Start Happy Hour at The Breakers Resort

You don’t have to go far to kick off happy hour. The Breakers Resort offers a couple of easygoing spots to grab a drink while enjoying your oceanfront surroundings.

 

The Rusty Reel Oceanfront Bar & Grill is a great place to start. Located on the lobby level of the Palms Building, this casual bar and grill serves lunch, dinner, and drinks with views of the ocean and pool deck. It’s also a favorite spot to catch the game, with football specials and NFL Sunday Ticket available during the season.

 

For a more laid-back poolside experience, stop by the resort’s Tiki Bar. Grab a refreshing cocktail, settle in by the water, and enjoy a little time in the sun without leaving the property. Whether you’re taking a break between swims or winding down after a beach day, it’s an easy way to make the most of your afternoon.

Enjoy a Beachside Happy Hour at Bummz Beach Cafe

Just next door to The Breakers, Bummz Beach Cafe is a great choice when you want a casual atmosphere and a spot to enjoy the ocean breeze. Its spacious outdoor patio offers a mix of covered seating and open-air areas, making it a comfortable place to grab a drink and something to eat.

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday. Stop by for a relaxed afternoon, enjoy the outdoor setting, and take in a little more of the beach before heading into the evening.

Take in the Ocean Views at 8th Ave Tiki Bar & Grill

If you’re in the mood for tropical drinks and a lively beachside atmosphere, 8th Ave Tiki Bar & Grill is another spot to add to your list. Located along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, this oceanfront hangout offers outdoor seating and views of the Atlantic.

 

Pair your drink with a few shareable bites and enjoy the laid-back island-inspired atmosphere just steps from the beach.

Make It a Rooftop Evening at Tin Roof

For a little music with your happy hour, head to Tin Roof on North Ocean Boulevard. This lively spot features a rooftop patio overlooking the ocean, multiple bars, and live music throughout the week. It’s a fun option when you’re looking to enjoy a drink, grab some food, and keep the evening going.

 

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, with drink specials that include select domestic beers and well liquors. The menu also features a variety of Southern-inspired favorites, including wings, tenders, and quesadillas. Check the entertainment calendar before you go to see what’s playing during your visit.

Enjoy Rooftop Drinks at RipTydz

For another oceanfront happy hour with a view, visit RipTydz Oceanfront Grille & Rooftop Bar on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. With indoor and outdoor seating, a rooftop deck, and plenty of space to enjoy the atmosphere, it’s a great place to meet up with friends or grab a drink after exploring the Boardwalk.

 

Happy hour is offered Monday through Friday. Specials include select domestic beers and draft beers, house wine, house liquors, and signature cocktails. You can also find discounted appetizers like smoked Gouda chicken egg rolls, coconut shrimp, and a jumbo Bavarian pretzel. It’s a nice way to enjoy a few bites and take in the ocean views from above.

End the Night at The Breakers Resort

After enjoying happy hour around town, head back to The Breakers Resort and settle into vacation mode. Spend a little more time relaxing in the indoor or outdoor pools, unwind in one of the hot tubs, or take a peaceful stroll along the beach before calling it a night. When you’re ready to turn in, retreat to comfortable oceanfront accommodations with room to spread out and enjoy the comforts of home. It’s the perfect way to end a day filled with good drinks, great views, and time by the coast.
