Island Bar & Grill

Being a person that absolutely loves to try different food I find that the wings are my go-to. This place was definitely not a letdown! The wings here are great in size and value. The variety of different types of seasoning is an added bonus. The one thing that really surprised me was their homemade blue cheese. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive definitely a great place in a go-to!

A hidden gem. The atmosphere is great full of people talking and laughing. The food was so good. Best mozzarella sticks I’ve had in a while. Wings were excellent. The entire staff is very attentive and great personalities. It was our first visit and we were treated like we were regulars. 10/10.

Im from Ohio and the owner is as well I believe. we have been to this place every year when we visit surfside. The frys are very unique and delicious. Will definitely be back. O-H.UPDATE. Back again this year.I decided to something new this year and was not disappointed. The BLACKENED CHICKEN ALFREDO is FANTASTIC.

Trevor the bartender was awesome very attentive to all customers,friendly, great energy and vibes so special thanks! Food was freaking delicious!!!!! This place has great atmosphere, got to chat with other patrons and was really nice! Cant wait to come back!!! Lovely place

Came in for wings last month after a long round of golf. The server was very polite and friendly, and the wings were great. Their blue cheese dressing is homemade and delicious, probably the best I’ve had. I live near North Myrtle but when down this way and hungry will def stop again.It does feel like bar first, restaurant second when inside, with pool tables, dart boards, and blackened windows so just be aware of that.Had a good beer selection too.

The staff was very friendly. Everyones meal was great. The establishment was clean. We will definitely be back to try some different dishes.

What a gem! Island Bar and Grill is absolutely amazing! Great food, soooooo many beers to choose from, amazing prices, and just all in all a great atmosphere! Their homemade pita chips and the spinach and artichoke dip will make your mouth water just looking at it! The Ahi Tuna appetizer had such amazing flavor and was seared to perfection. The Hot Old Bay Wings...mmmmmmmmm yeah! The Hawaiian Chicken wrap was sweet, tangy, and juicy with a perfect crunch from the lettuce and onions. They have games, several tvs playing your favorite sports, trivia, bands, and karaoke! Our server, Shelly is a doll and so incredibly informative with their menu and events. Thank you for a top notch first impression! Cant wait for many more visits in the near future!

Nice little bar, the food was very great. mozzarella stick to start was very good. Then the bacon pbj burger was amazing. There Alot of tvs in the place. If you like darts, this is the place for you 3 dart boards. Nice size bar. I would recommend it for everyone.

My go-to for good food, friendly servers and patrons, and buzztime trivia. Gets a little crowded Friday nights when there’s live music but some people love that vibe. If you like it laid back, go during the week. Food is consistently good.

Very “Dive Bar” feel, which I absolutely love… but the wings, my goodness the WINGS!! Hands down the best in the Grand Strand. Get them crispy (and their ranch is amazing too). They’re extra sauces and they’ve got a bunch to choose from (I got Hot Old Bay). 1,000% recommend. They don’t do boneless wings but they’ll toss their chicken tenders in any of the sauces or dry rubs.

This is a great bar and grill with an authentic local vibe of craft beers and made from scratch food. Use to be a smoking lounge, but in August 2018, it went smoke free and a little bit of a refresh. All of our meals were really tasty and the prices were fair! If your in the Surfside area, I highly suggest stopping by this spot.

This place is almost always hopping. Lots of beer on tap, good food and friendly staff. Their wings are great too. They have great bands on the weekends.

I was here about a month ago came in with a friend of mine there were no tables available there was a man that night which I could understand. It was about 7:30 in the evening and there were about seven people ahead of us waiting for a table. And I have back and leg issues and I would have loved to have gotten a table to get something to eat or drink but unfortunately due to my health issues I could not stand for that long so we had to leave and thats the reason I only had four stars was crowded. However we will be coming back in the future and bringing friends with us and hopefully getting there early so we can sit down and have an early supper

The food and music here is awesome. The service was quick and the waitress checked up on us frequently. The only thing that was confusing was that there wasn’t anyone greeting people coming in so we were unsure if we should find a random table or if they seated us. Other than that, we had a really great time. We went on a Tuesday and played trivia which was a lot of fun. It’s usually pretty packed so we went early for dinner and drinks.

Every once in a while you need to find that place where you feel at home! Food, drinks, awesome staff & friendly customers!!!Thanks to Tony & the rest of the staff at Island Bar & Grill!Nailed it!5 ⭐️s in my book

Food was delicious. Great band Smoke and Mirrors and the best time ever! The place was packed and we didnt wait long for our food.

I ate there last night after a round of golf with two other friends. The drinks, the food (especially) was excellent not to mention our waitress. These guys got it together with great local Boston themed bar with excellent food and drinks.PS. No worries they don’t have the Boston attitude

Their food is excellent. Servers are polite and focused on taking orders correctly. Early bird pricing is easy on the wallet.

What a great place to enjoy good food, ambience and also have some fun playing trivia, darts or whatever live music they have. Their happy hour menu is amazing!!!!!

My local down the street... love the New England sports logos and I especially like that their jukebox always plays music.

We went to Island Bar and Grill with a group of friends to hear a great band. It was a wonderful evening. The food was excellent and very reasonable. I was very pleased with the service. We never had to look around to find a server, they worked as a team and kept our drinks flowing. They were also very pleasant. The only thing I could say that was negative is the place was really crowded which really is not bad for business. The place is not really close to my house but I definitely would go again if the band is playing there again.

Awesome staff, delicious food and a cool place to hang out! Try the wings, theyre the real deal!

It was crowded when we go there which we thought was a good sign. Then the waiter was a jerk, the tortilla chips were over cooked, the queso wasn’t any better than a can. We got our check after the appetizer and went down the street to Greg’s Cabana which is always 5 star.

This place has fantastic and friendly employees. Our first time here didn’t disappoint.

We were are the bar last evening, Trevor and Cynthia were tending bar. We were so impressed with the fantastic job they were doing. They were very attentive to everyone one at the bar including the waitresses, which was amazing because the place was full. Plus the food was excellent. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. You would not be sorry. Thank you Trevor and Cynthia for making our even here in SC a great night.

Great place. They have a drawing for some cash and other prizes every week.I had the chicken tenders and they were good. My friends got the fries with gravy and they were really good!The band Therapy was awesome. The staff was super and a lot of fun!

Love their menu. Had a club sandwich and garlic parm fries today. It was amazing.

A great find. Doesnt look like much from the outside but the food and service are amazing. The vibe was terrific as well.

Great bar, great atmosphere, great happy hour, great food and great employees, where they all know your name❤️❤️❤️

In town visiting friends and was looking for a quick bite to eat. That turned into a 5 hour stay! Excellent food. Wings to start and chicken pasta to finish were delish. Got the vibe like a locals bar but was treated like a VIP at a 5 star hotel. Friendly people at the bar. Some guy named Kevin bought me a sambuca shot. Damn! Its my new favorite now. Ill def be back.

Just left this little gem with a party of 10. Everyone loved their food and drinks and were very happy. The highlight was Joe Kennedy, our server. He was so friendly and attentive. We really connected with him in a short time and left like we left with a new friend. Highly recommend!

Good burgers, decent beer selection .. service rocked ..

The staff is amazing! A great Local Watering Hole that takes care of its customers.

Fun place to go. Great food and drinks excellent service

Great food and atmosphere with an awesome beer selection

Watched Alabama vs Georgia college football game. Burger was excellent! All the cimponents were fresh and perfect. Servers were very friendly. The owner Tony is Great!

Perfect bar lunch experience. Food was delicious. All 5 of us had high praise for our different lunch foods. Will be back.

We have lived in the area for years. We were looking for something that we have never tried before. I looked up local restaurants/bars and this is just 3 minutes from my home. We see it every time we go to Food Lion. I dont know why we never looked up reviews before. The reviews are good and I should have paid better attention to the pictures. I was only looking at the pictures of the food and not the restaurant. I wish I could have stayed after walking in a very dark bar for happy hour, but I am disabled. I have to use a cane to walk. I am not able to sit at bars or high-top tables. I did not see anywhere that I could sit down. Therefore, we had to just walk back out. If they ever switch out the high top tables for regular tables and chairs, we would love to try the food.

Finally a change in bartenders that are nice Tony was engaging super helpful made great drinks stayed on top of things made us feel welcome great service

Service was very prompt in spite of 90% of seats being full. I had the Island Jerk Chicken Sandwich, which was excellent. Great fries, 19 craft beers on tap. It is a bar and grill so it is noisy at happy hour. Prices are great too.

The food wasnt too bad and our server was very nice but the service...was soooo slow! We were there for almost 2 hours on a Tuesday night and the Drinks were slow to be refilled. They had trivia that night and the host was on the microphone and the speakers were way too loud for how small the space was. Ive been before multiple times but something seemed different this visit.

Best food prices on the beach. Excellent service directly from the owner! Thanks Tony.

The staff is super friendly, and they all are full of jokes, theyre hilarious! The beer selection is amazing, and their food is really good I love their homemade pork skins

The best bar food in myrtle beach, great atmosphere

Awsome food and service! The peanut butter chili wings were incredible as well as the blackened chicken Alfredo!! Also a great band playing- The Fossil Rockers! You should eat here!!!

Im not big on bars like I use to be when I was in my 30s but I went to meet up with some friends. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is about what you would expect from a bar and grill. I asked for wings and took the waitresss advice on the honey bbq. I loved it. Even though it was a bit messy to be playing on the Golden Tee machine The wings were worth losing the game. Ill definitely be back for more.

Great spot! Cold beer and good company 👍

We were looking for a quick bite after a day of shopping. After trying 2 other places, we found this place still open. 20 minutes to 10 and they took our order without even a hint of displeasure. Fries were perfect even thought they were baked, and perfectly seasoned. My burger was one of the best I have had and Ive had lots of burgers all over north and south America. I asked for rare and it came out medium rare which is expected, due to liability concerns. Its really hard to get a truly rare burger unless youre a regular customer somewhere. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to go again in the future.

We went on Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. After unsuccessfully going to to 2 other places and finding crazy wait times we settled on Island Grill. We should have just come here first. No wait for a table and servers even though very busy were super friendly. We were told right up front how long it would take for our food because of the busy night. Not a problem since we were sat and ordered some drinks for our table. Although we had been told how long it would take for food, it came out much quicker which was a nice touch. Under claim and over perform. This mgt team gets it. The food was excellent and we had a great time! Definitely a place we will eat at again in the future. One caveat: most tables are high tops so if you want a table with sit down chairs this might not be the place for you. We are looking forward to coming back to watch some football in the fall with all the TVs they have to see games

We had chicken tacos, raviolis and Quesadillas. Food was great. We had drinks. Margarita was too tart. Other drink were good. Server was on top of us too much. Trying to talk and kept interrupting. Local neighborhood place in shopping center.

Good food . Good service. The Hawaii Hamburger 🍔 is fantastic. Please keep it on your menu for long time . I left 40-50% tip each time but I still feel like not enough just because everything is so good at this place.I’m appreciated you all the hard work 😍.

Best lil gem in Surfside. Everything on the menu is 🔥

My family and I loved this place years ago. Tonights showing was absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!!! Clearly the drunk people at the bar were way more important than tables dining in. 4 cold meals and knats in the drinks. My quesdilla was basically raw but my wifes burger was wrong and dry. Be careful using the restroom because the door doesnt lock nor did it close all the way. Clean it up or close it down. When you cant get sweet tea correct then its time to rethink your job choice, the Sierra mist needed changed badly. The employee acted as if she knew it was wrong but still served it. Do better before people start to see how intoxicated you need to be to eat here.

This a great place for a couple beers. Food is decent.

Stopped by for a beer and a quick snack. Definitely a locals spot, but everyone was kind and said hello. We met Joe and Dennis as we sat down at the bar. Joe was welcoming, offered menus and grabbed us a couple beers. We decided on the queso and chips. It was great! Fresh tortilla chips and the queso was hot and delicious! Met a nice couple, so we chatted with them before leaving. Great experience! We will be back!

This place s AWESOME. We went to 2 other surfside restaurants to give them a chance. After 2 and a half hours and 2 places, we went the to Island Bar. Within 15 minutes of walking through the door, we had beers and a food order in. Within 30 minutes. we had delicious food in front of us. There was a killer band playing and the food was AWESOME! The best burgers anywhere and the fried pot stickers were insane. Great beer selection as well! The staff is incredible as well. Highly, highly recommended

Last weekend was my first time going to this bar. I felt very comfortable and everyone was friendly. The bartender, Cam gave great customer service as well as the other workers and the owner. I was unsure of going but Im glad that I did. The live band was an added bonus. The wings that I ordered were good as were the drinks.Thanks for the wonderful customer service!

Great elevated bar food, healthy portions, amazing service, clean warm atmosphere. The southwest eggrolls were exceptional. Hard to find quality food at a reasonable price and a great atmosphere and a busy tourist townDo not skip dessert.

Chicken Quesadilla and Wings were good. Mac & Cheese, Ruben and French Dip were ok. Server was good. Only thing, they brought out apps & sandwiches out too close to eachother. Dont place order together.Overall place wasnt bad.

We finally moved to MB after 25 years of vacation here only to have missed out on The island Bar prior to becoming residents This is our favorite bar restaurant for selections, prices and excellent food . The only complaint is I wish it was a larger restaurant because they get very crowded for dinner especially Friday night for their cash giveaway. You can’t beat happy hour prices M-F

This is one of the BEST places to eat when visiting Surfside and Myrtle beach! Delicious food and such friendly, amazing staff! Definitely on our must-go-to list when we visit again. Perfect place to bring the fam after a long day at the beach! We cant wait to go back!

We were waiting on our car to be serviced at the Honda dealership nearby and wandered in here for lunch. The staff was friendly, the food wasReasonably priced and delicious, andThey had extensive offerings of craft beer. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend!

Our old hang out bar closed, so we found the Island Bar in Surfside, owner is very nice and bar tenders and waitresses are awesome! Happy hour is great!Entertainment is always top notch! Very happy we found this bar for our new hang out! Also the food is fantastic!!

Might be a duplicate because Ive changed Google accounts, but I love the food here, especially the wings. Shout out to Trevor, Its always a pleasure when hes there working. Unlike people at other bars, he doesnt just sling drinks, he takes care of his customers. Thank you for treating us so well.

This place is awesome. Really good food. Really good braces. The only bad part of the drinks is that they are too strong. Lol I love the peanut butter wings but they have everything.

This place is so cool and the servers are so quick! 3 soft tip boards and no steel tip..maybe future item?!? Awesome 😎👍

Great locals spot. Food is always good and service is top notch. The Burritos are my favorite! Tried the garlic parm fries. They were good too.

Love this place ! I stop in everytime Im in the area. Food is actually better than expected. They make homemade Bleu cheese dressing.

Place is great. Wings are the best Ive had in the area. The quesidillas are good as well. They have mule cups if youre in to that, mix drinks and bartenders are awesome. Highly suggest this bar to anyone thats trying to have fun.

Great place to kick back with great food and staff. Highly recommend if you are in the area or passing by. We enjoyed the food and live entertainment.

BEST bar in Surfside!! The bartenders are AMAZING, just overall outstanding service. The food is great and they frequently do specials, theyll post their specials on Facebook so follow them to see what they have! Darts and live music.

My new favorite place!! My PA daughter in law loved her fish sandwich!! Look at the size of that fish!!! Everything that I have had on their menu has been great… service is wonderful… yep my new favorite place!!!Thanks Island Bar

Stumbled upon this place after our other choice closed early. Definitely on our list for future trips. Great food, great beer, amazing bartender/server (the most personable and knows his stuff!) Ordered 2 burgers and app to eat in and then wings to go. Atmosphere is great with sports memorabilia on the walls, trivia going and some bar games with multiple tvs playing. Laid back and chill vibe.

Ive been coming here for years. Its a locals secret! I dont know many places you can get an excellent burger or meal at 1 am! It is a truly relaxing scene; the live music is good (not too loud), the atmosphere is fun, and the menu is amazing. The staff are all super friendly. Its my favorite spot for a beer.

We have been dropping in on and off for probably 10 years now. Bartenders are great, good food, and a variety of beers on tap. Always a pleasant experience.

Love this bar, recently started frequenting because the food is amazing with lots to choose from, also very reasonable prices. Staff is always great and very attentive. Live music on occasion and a jukebox to play your favorite tunes. New favorite bar for this local

Always love food and atmosphere. Waitress was rude. We came for drinks and dinner and to listen to band. We left after 45 minutes. We spent $26.80. Had she not been hurry hurry and get finished, tab would have been $65 to $70. She was too pushy!!!! Ruined a good evening. My question is do you want customers to spend money or have waitresses who push customers out the door so they can get more tips?

Hands down the best bar in the world. Best servers best atmosphere never will have a empty drink and food is exceptional. If your a local or in town make your way up you.... If not your missing out on some good southern hospitality.

Have to rave about how much my family and I love this place. We love the laid back environment and the food is always delicious. This is definitely one of our go-to spots when visiting the beach!

Trevor was nice and attentive! He was a great server. We loved this place! It was a little crowded as it was a Friday night, but there was great music and the food was awesome. I got the burrito... Yum! Also, the queso was great. Would go again!

Island Bar is a home away from home. I grew up in Myrtle but now I travel back and forth from NJ to Surfside. Whenever I am in town, island bar is there welcoming me with open arms!Talk about a killer staff-Trevor and Shelly not only make sure you are fed and have a drink in hand but they take the time to check in on you; personable and real.And not to be biased because Trevor has been my best friend of 12 years, but the man has some killer outfits that just put a smile on your face. He’s got some good jokes too. 😉I can go on and on about all the other amazing things about island bar but you should just go and experience it yourself. Sláinte!

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. I sampled a couple of craft beers before deciding on an IPA, and ordered a burrito. It was such a generous portion that I was able to have it for lunch the next day.The staff was very attentive, the customers friendly, and to top it off great entertainment!Will definitely go back again, thanks :-)

We took 5 kids in for apps last night and the food was fantastic! ESPECIALLY their fries. The service was wonderful as well. I was very impressed!

After hearing so many rave reviews, we tried it. Service was 👍 I had the burrito, it was okay, but mine are better (needed a lot more seasoning)My husband had loaded nachos which he said was very good. We might try it again sometime soon.

Always a great place for a few cold ones and some food. Joe is a funny guy bartender too.👍🇺🇲

Great staff treat you like family.

Located in a strip mall which was odd but dont let that throw you. Huge selection of beers on tap and in bottles. Great happy hour menu. Wings were good. Joe and the other guy (kind of a bigger dude with a shaved head) were super friendly. A band was warming up and its a smaller space so they were pretty loud. Would come back in a minute. Thanks guys!

Yummy food, friendly staff and just a chill atmosphere!!! One of our favorite places in Myrtle Beach!!!

Best Chicken Alfredo and Wow Best Garlic bread ever. Met my daughter and her friend. It was her birthday

Good place. Good food, good drinks, great bartenders. The only thing I didnt like about it was that it was a smoking bar, however they had fans that kept the smoke at a minimum. Recently they have gone to a non-smoking bar and absolutely love it. The bartenders are absolutely on top of everything and very good. This is definitely a recommended place

You have to get the fried jalapeños! Also, this place has the best homemade bleu cheese for wings. Very reasonably priced menu with awesome selection! The wings are large and extremely tasty.

Very good food and service great amount of food for price and affordable came all the way from florence south carolina

This is a sports local bar that features the games of darts with at Fall Menu Happy Hour consisting of 25% off regular menu. It can be busy and noisy . . . However, food and service is great!

Very Very good food. And service .prices are very good to. My wife and I really enjoy this bar. Sometimes sad when we can’t get a seat. So we try to get there at the end of happy hour . Thanks guys and gals.

Food is amazing. They have trivia there and its really easy to spend hours there and not even notice. Recently smoke free and probably the best craft beer selection in the area. You cant go wrong here.

Got the queso dip, cheese was served cool. Wings were dry, overcooked and seasoning left lots to be desired. We don’t expect a chef at a bar but the food was not good at all. When you can’t serve the queso dip hot or at-least warm, it’s time to find new kitchen help. Seriously.

Good vibes. Great time. Trevor was our server/bartender, and he rocked it!! Our drinks were never empty and he was all around a great time!!! Def made our experience amazing! Super glad we decided to spend our only night out here!! Would def go back!!

Trevor and Dennis are amazing! The food was way above what you would think bar food would be. I had a crispy chicken salad and Mac bites and it was delicious! Trevor and dinner to do an amazing job with making everyone feel like family and creating a great fun environment! Can’t wait to come back to see these two guys!

It was our first time there so, Im being cautious. I definitely will return and try them again. The clam chowder was definitely not NEW England!

Ordered the Jumbo Burito and its perfection 👌 😋

Island Bar & Grill Surfside is a great local bar! The food is amazing, the staff is top notch, the owners are the best and very friendly, prices are fantastic! Great beer selection, great place to watch football or any sports! Trivia is a blast! The live music is always good! I highly recommend checking this place out if you havent yet!

Great place..we went there after Senior Softball last Friday..one of our guys plays his guitar there a few times a month!..nice atmosphere and location..in Food Lion shopping plaza so plenty of parking..friendly bar/table service..food was great and drinks were cold!

Weve visited this place twice while in town, it is one the best local dives. Great chicken wings and dont sleep on broccoli cheese bites. Tony and Trevor are the BEST!!!! Check this place out if your in Myrtle Beach area....

Excellent experience!!! Fantastic food, engaging atmosphere, friendly staff. Daily specials, darts, trivia, great music, tasty beers & cocktails.. My NEW go to spot for EVERYTHING!!! Thank you Trevor & all the staff ( great team work) for an delicious smiley kind of night ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

One of the best happy hours in Myrtle. When you go make sure your waiter is Joe if you are seated at a table. Joe is one of the reasons we will return. The food is as good as any bar food anywhere. It is a must for happy hour.

Nice dimly lit place. We went during happy hour. We had 3 alcoholic drinks 3 orders of wings and an appetizer for 30 bucks! Waiter was down to earth and the food was on point. We will definitely return in the future.

Went for first time on Trivia tues..had a blast! The food was so good..everything we ordered was delicious. John, Marnie took excellent care of us at the bar and the owners came over to say Hello and share a pint. Great bar with great people will def be regulars!

Best bar around!!! 🤘 Trevor literally deals with a Karen and still manages to sling those drinks like a true bartender!! 👍 👊🙌 He is one of the many best bartenders... Nicole.. dennis.. joe.. Tony and tiff of course!!!... but Trevor love love love him!!!!

Very appealing and relaxing atmosphere and amazing service! Great Food and drink selections. Large variety of craft beer. Enjoyed the trivia. Will definitely come back next time we are back in the area.

A great sports bar with an amazing food menu & beer selection. They often have live music in the evenings from local & regional artists. This is the place to grab a great lunch, watch the game with friends, or to find your new favorite band.

This is more of a craft beer taphouse. Did not eat here. Beer selection was good. A bit on the pricey side. Looks like they have entertainment as well.

I wanted to eat at a local bar and grill while in town and I found Island Bar & Grill by coincidence but it will be a go to each trip to the beach. My waiter was extremely kind and laid back and provided the best service I have ever experienced, anywhere! I cant wait to share this gem with friends and family.

Ordered salad w/shrimp. Salad came with egg. Told waiter allergic to egg. Had waited repeat no egg 3 times. Salad came out with egg. Told waiter not going to eat it. Told waiter to make new salad. Waiter took salad with egg and came back in 1 minute. He told me new salad with no egg. Looked at salad - same salad with egg. Kitchen picked out big pieces of egg! There was still egg in salad! He lied to me. I could have had a major allergic reaction. They lied! They said they were sorry. Didnt mean anything to me. Walked out and left salad. Never going back. I could have been seriously sick. What made me mad the most was tje waiter lied. Beware - especially if you are allergic!

Nice local bar, good music and reasonable drinks and food. Just a great hangout!

Amazing locally owned business that goes out of their way to make the customers happy. Food, Beer or customer service. By far this is the best bar and grill in Surfside or Myrtle Beach.Brandon and his staff go above and beyond to bring in numerous craft beers from all over the world. Great Selection!The Food is always top notch every time we have ate here. The specials they have are always on point!10⭐️‘S

Awesome place very down to earth and laid back. Friendly staff great beer wonderful pub grub. Always something going on no way your going to get bored here. Trivia, darts, Golden Cap, music, karaoke etc etc. Owners are very generous and giving. Try it youll like it.

Trevor, grt bartender,,,engages with customers,,very friendly,,,food was just on point,,,they use hi quality meats, etc for order,,,,has live music on some nights,,then audience games on 1st of week nites,,,just good locals bar,,,should try it!

Nice experience. Food was fantastic. Great service and friendliness from waitress and owner. Would definitely highly recommend.

Great place to hang out for awhile playing games & trying all their menu has to offer. We love the wings here, cooked perfectly with many classic & unusual flavors to choose from. Staff is very friendly & attentive. Great food, great people!

Great food great fun great people.

Great Staff !! Atmosphere Very Casual / Relaxing !! Didnt stop by for Grub , but the Misses and I had a Few Appetizers , and they were Spot On !! 👌 Rest of Menue , well get to Little by Little.Overall , will be Back Soon .What else Needs to be Said.Thanks All 🤜 🤛.

Been coming here for years ask for THOMAS great cook get the breakfast burger. He is the king of this burger

Love the food. Great wings. However, will go any night besides Monday because their guy who sings on mondays is probably the worst singer I’ve ever heard. Would rather watch Sofia Vegara butcher the national anthem.

I didnt try the food and that is why I only gave four stars. I stopped in check out the band and they were really good. The staff and patrons were all very nice. I will update this post the next time I stop in and try the food.

Always have a great time at Island Bar.

I was reading the negative reviews and was going to give them 3 stars but changed my mind after reading owners respond to another customers feedback. We had the same experience as that customer. We have been there many times and nobody asked us for ID until one day around lunch time we were asked for ID. The same employee served me, my wife and our grandson a week prior to that day. I just turned 65 and my wife 60 and have never been asked for ID for almost 30 years. I think we had the same bartender as the customer who left 1 star month ago. We are in town for four months and will be looking for another bar.

Great place. When i came in it looked like no place to sit. The owners father saw this and rushed over to accommodate my wife and i. The owner made sure we were attended to ....great people...great food. Thank you. Great band.

We just moved to the area and wanted to try this place. We will definitely be back. Prices are good and the food was delicious. Everybody working there was great, and since we were there on a Friday we got to hear live music.

Went to happy hour on Wednesday and the service was awesome! Food was great too! Best chicken wings and onion rings around!

Walked in and asked the bartender: Is there an IPA for Happy Hour? Yes, all kinds. Ok, New South? New England? Westbrook? Throws a list of at me and walks away. Guess he doesnt need to offer the customer any information. Great customer service. Sorry didnt mean to inquire. This is the second time I have been to this establishment and have encountered an employee with an attitude like they are doing me a favor by waiting on me. I normally could care less about inept and inconsiderate people in the workplace, however maybe leadership should properly train their employees in building relationships with their clients in this establishment.

Food wasnt bad, service was ok. Only local bar I know that doesnt split drinks/shots. 🤔 For example, you cant order a green tea two, four ways. 😐 you have to get four, four ways.

One of the employees was very rude. We came in at 10:40 pm and we are from out of state. Nobody was standing at the front door so we sat down at a table of our choice. We were not greeted properly. This guy came over and said “Can I help you with something?”. We responded with “Yes, we would like some food”. He proceeded to tell us that the kitchen was closed and all bars close at 11 at this time. I told him that google said they closed at 2 am and he said that no one is changing their hours on google which is a lie. I would not recommend this place based on their customer service. He could of handled the situation better than he did. He did not even apologize.

If youre local or just passing through this place is a must. The staff is great and the owners are the best in the world. Brandon and Cynthia have created a true CHEERS type of bar where everyone knows your name (or at least they will be the time you leave). Ive run several bars and my motto was always where there are no strangers, only friends you havent met yet... This place truly satisfies that slogan...

Best local bar on the beach!! Great prices, diverse menu! Fun staff!!

Service was prompt and friendly. Tacos were nice and tasty sauce on the side was spicy with out being over the top

There were 6 of us in our party.Friends that we go out with every week at different restaurants. All agreed we have to go back to taste different items on menu. All was delicious and very reasonably priced!!! Will be returning soon and repeatedly. Cant wait!

The Island Bar is the absolute best place around. Nobody even comes close. Not only is there food and service top notch, but their live music selection is second to none. Most bars have nothing but acoustic acts or jimmy buffet style cover bands, not here, Here you can find live performances of anything from hip hop artists all the way to death metal bands. There is nowhere quite like it, and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

We have been here many times and have never been disappointed. Had one of the best burgers ever this evening and the fries are perfect. The service is always excellent. It’s one of my most favorite places.

The only name I got tonight was Chris, very friendly and attentive, the wait staff was fantastic. Music was great, Matt Parker and the Deacons. Absolutely love the renovations!!! Will definitely return

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to watch the English Premier League and this place was close by. The bartender got both our games on the TV and allowed us to change the music to listen to the games while the place was still mostly empty (it was around 11 on a Sunday). This place not only had really nice people running it, but a great selection of beers. They had a cider I’ve only been able to get in England and lots of sours and stouts for my boyfriend (on tap and bottle). We had the gravy fries (a typical English snack when watching soccer) and they were enjoyable! We’d had breakfast so we weren’t hungry enough yet for more food, but when we’re back for another family visit and there’s a game on we’ll be sure to go back. The space is fun and seems well-loved and exciting with all the games and deals they have.

Had a great time. Even though it was crowded had a problem getting a drink. The staff is great and a good place for live music and the music is always good. Thank yall for the wonderful time. Will definitely be back.

This place is great! Been going here for years.. not sure last reviewers comments are relevant in 2014 since the incident she mentions happened in 2009. Its like family in there. Plus if you are a Red Sox or Patriots fan its like heaven so maybe shes a Yankees fan...?

Happy hour 4 to 7. Mon - Friday. They have an excellent burrito. Actually alot of the food is good. And its reasonably priced.

We love this place and always eat here when we are in town. Awesome food, brews and live entertainment on the weekends. The place looks great too!

What a fun night we had with friends here on Saturday night with Aaron as the karaoke DJ! I had smoked chicken salad and it was yummy. I would give just one bit of advice - dont tell me you made the cole slaw in-house when it was obviously not. But Im not holding it against you.

Trevor was the best server Ive had after 3 yrs of coming here. Delicious burrito with lettuce and tomatoes and parm/ tater tots to die for. Plus a raspberry chocolate martini for dessert. Spot on service and food late night.

My cheers!! The best place in SC imo 💕 Service is fantastic, food is amazing! Must see!

Had great time here last week. Great service by Marnie. Brandon the owner stopped by and visited with us with Ryan who is a regular and invited us here for golden coin night. Looking forward to great time tonight, great beers, great food, great people!

Cheap drinks awesome atmosphere and great food. Dennis and amanda are always awesome and quick even with a large crowd. Great for company outings, bdays, or just having out trowing darts or listening to s ok me music

Good food, friendly service.

The owners have made it non smoking and it is all clean and new inside. Food is really good and lots of beers on tap. Live music on the weekends. So glad the made the changes.

This is our “go to” place. We are always comfortable with the atmosphere, friendly servers and great food. Last Friday of the month Jimmy O plays at lunch.

Fish tacos - bacon wrapped scallops - baby boss roll - all highly recommended-- daily specials throughout the week - cant say enough good things about this place

Love this establishment. They genuinely care about their customers, their staff is amazing, and their food is phenomenal! 2020 is handing some difficult cards to the restaurant businesses and they are handling these unprecedented times beautifully!

Really chill atmosphere. The FOOD!! I had the blacked chicken pasta. Spicy, but so so good. Pasta was cooked to perfection. The smashed skins are amazing too

EXTRA SPICY CHALLENGE.I by accidently got some extra spicy wings. I believe the chef took it as a personal challenge to singe every bit of my mouth. He succeeded!!! I made it through 4 before I had to put them down. If you love hot, dare them to make it extra spicy. You will not be disappointed.

Servers are great. Large menu and food is very good. Pleasant atmosphere.

Me and my girlfriend come here often after I get off work. Bartenders are very friendly and the food is great! Have never had a bad experience here.

Outstanding food at great prices, excellent selection of rotating craft beers, superior service from bartenders and servers, friendly casual vibe, hands-on owners...can’t say enough great things about Island Bar and Grill!

Great experience the staff is good and the food is awesome. Also the drinks are great bartenders know their stuff. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good food drinks and great music

Lots of beer choices and great food. Bartenders are awesome. Moved locally 2 years ago and everyone has been nothing but kind toward me and any friends or dates I bring. 😁👍

This place rocks, great people, atmosphere and the whole team works excellent together. We really enjoy going there. The food is also very tasty.

The first time there will definitely be back. Everyone working there was polite and made you feel like you were a regular!

Went with a group of 12. Servers were outstanding. Service was good. And the food was excellent. I will go there again.👍

Quick service, food was great, had a steak. Manager was interactive with guests assuring everyone was happy.

Best BLT sandwich! Friendly waitresses. Love this place!

This is one of the friendliest places around to spend time. Great happy hour specials, great service, and a lot of fun. Great place for live music (good variety) too!

We stopped for happy hour drinks, viewed the happy hour menu which looked good. Would recommend to everyone to try.

Went for happy hour! Had a decent selection of food and beer. Music was good. The taste of the food was just ok. Very busy on Friday nights!

Food was awful. I got the grilled chicken ceaser salad and i felt sick immediately after eating it, and the next morning it got worse. Probably got food poisoning. I don’t recommend spending your money here.

Island Bar is a typical Myrtle Beach bar. They do, however, hold many fundraisers, have live bands, and seems friendlier than most places. The food is actually really good and there are many beers on draft to choose from. They also have a cooler of bottled beers that include many unique IPAs. This little bar is tucked away in the corner of the Food Lion shopping center on the corner of Glenns Bay Rd and 17 bypass South.

Friendly staff, great food with a fun atmosphere. I definitely will be back!

Locals hole in the wall. Bar food and cold drinks. Best happy hour!

Great staff. And friendly and great crowd always. .....good is excellent.,..owners care about everyone. ....A+ place gotta check out. .......👍👍💯

Fantastic food, amazing service, HUGE portions! Everyone that left while we were there took home doggy bags...so did we!!

Food and service were outstanding!! Their wings were delicious and the Bacon Cheeseburger Penne was hands down one the best dishes I have experienced!!

This locally owned bar is one of the best in Surfside Beach. Friendly staff, great food and awesome entertainment! The food is fantastic and the happy hour prices and the happy hour menu is the best in the area! This place is a local favorite!

Food and service was great. Happy Hour menu was exceptionally good and very reasonable. We plan to be back soon.

Good food and atmosphere. Glad this popped up on Google maps and we tried it out!! Great prices, food and waitress was super nice.

Great little place all the food is good, nice selection of wings flavors.

Trevor is incredible and so kind. He took care of my family from out of state and made amazing food and perfect beverages. We will be back tomorrow night!!!!

Great place to play! The staff is amazing. Their food is the bomb.

Love to go here. Great place, great bartenders.

This bar is AMAZING. It has a great atmosphere and a wide range of people that go to it. The drinks and food are tasty and reasonably priced.

The air conditioner is broken right now so do not judge them on that. Overall is a very cool local bar with a ton of craft beer and very friendly staff. The food is always on point and the drinks are well-made. It is a cool local spot to watch live music and sports tucked in a shopping plaza.

Other than being a bit loud, this place always delivers a solid experience. Good food, good beer selection and great service.

Always great food, but I come back because of employees like Trevor. Hes attentive, caring, and polite.

25% off food during happy hour....cant beat it! Food is great!

Great beer selection and tasty good. We love the wings. Theres always a great vibe in this place!

Great bar, grill with excellent service! Food is phenomenal! We go there often! Highly recommend!

Best comfort food and value in surfside, fresh, always large portions and affordable.

Best expansive Happy Hour menu in town - something for everyone. Food is all fresh and very good. Great locals hangout, great people!

Staff go above and beyond to make sure that you have a great time. Great atmosphere, good food, delicious beer.

Better than average Pub food with a great craft beer selection. Easy access and parking.

Good candidate for bar rescue. Staff using very foul language and pouring shots for everyone and not ringing them up. People were very drunk at 9:pm on a Sat.night. The owner cannot be aware of what was happening

Love the live music they have in this lil place its Great.Although the bartenders arent very friendly. I just wonder if they like their jobs?

Great food all around most of the bartenders are good....regulars get preferential treatment so go more than once....my first visit was excellent the female bartenders were excellent, one was the owner I think..had a visit lately with a male bartender, not so much ...I was gonna have another ..took to long to get some service...that local comment earlier😉..Anyway with the right folks there this place rocks, NTN trivia, karaoke, great craft beer selection...The owner deserves 5 stars....

Great bar. Awesome wind. The inferno wings are tasty. Noce atmosphere. Treated me like I was at home. Super cool people.

My sandwich and fries were delicious, the drinks were fairly priced, and our server was very good, bringing me 3 samples of beer to make sure I found the right one.
