If you're looking for a place that delivers incredible food, locally brewed beer, and unforgettable views, Black Drum Brewing at Kingston Resorts checks all the boxes.

A Taste of the Carolinas in Every Bite (and Sip)

At Black Drum Brewing, it’s all about celebrating the flavors of the Carolinas. The menu is packed with house-smoked meats, fresh seafood, and wood-fired pizzas. One standout we always recommend? The Brisket & Pimento Grilled Cheese—a bold, comforting twist on a Southern classic.

And then there’s the beer. With 40 taps dedicated exclusively to North and South Carolina breweries, this is a true haven for craft beer lovers. Whether you prefer hoppy IPAs, crisp lagers, or fruity sours, there’s something new and local to try every time.

Part of Kingston Resorts—and Perfectly Positioned for Beach Days

As part of the beautiful Kingston Resorts, Black Drum Brewing offers more than just a great meal. Guests staying at Embassy Suites or Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort are just steps away, making it easy to pop in for lunch, dinner, or an ocean-view drink after a day at the beach.

And good news—it’s not just for resort guests. Everyone is welcome, and the open-air terrace, coastal breezes, and friendly service make it a can’t-miss destination on any Myrtle Beach itinerary.

  • Singer-Songwriter Sessions – These intimate acoustic sets showcase emerging local and regional talent. It’s the perfect laid-back atmosphere to enjoy original music with a craft beer in hand.
