Murrells Inlet

Murrells Inlet calls itself the 'Seafood Capital of South Carolina,' and its bar scene centers on the MarshWalk, a boardwalk strip of waterfront restaurants and bars overlooking the inlet near Myrtle Beach. BarFinder lists 49 venues here, led heavily by sports bars, with real local spots like ACME Bar & Grill and Beaver Bar anchoring the scene alongside chain names like Mellow Mushroom. It's a laid-back coastal crowd built around sunset views and seafood as much as the drinks themselves.
