Community, Craft Beer (& Pickleball) Collide at Tidal Creek Brewhouse in Myrtle Beach

There is much more to Tidal Creek Brewhouse than a tantalizing selection of house-made beers and coffees roasted on-site.
Tucked just behind The Market Common shopping center, Tidal Creek Brewhouse is a place that brings to mind sipping iced tea on porches, enjoying lazy afternoons in the shade, and gathering in backyards for barbecues. It feels like home. It feels like community.
The aromas of home are here too—the exhilarating scent of freshly roasted coffee beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, and Costa Rica fills the air. And there's a deeper aroma as well: purpose.
With a mission grounded in giving back, Tidal Creek is a community-first brewery that goes well beyond beer. Through initiatives like Monday Night Matters, where $1 from every pint sold supports local nonprofits, Tidal Creek offers meaningful ways for patrons to give back while enjoying their time.
In 2024 alone, Tidal Creek donated more than $16,000 to local charities through its Monday Night Matters program, an initiative that continues to grow each year. The lineup for 2025 includes a wide range of impactful organizations such as The Rape Crisis Center of Horry and Georgetown Counties, Champion Autism Network, SOS Care, and more—each selected for their meaningful contributions to the Myrtle Beach community.
Each week brings more opportunities to connect, from markets and live music to trivia and themed events. But it’s not about a packed schedule—it’s about creating a welcoming space.
“It's about the community growing and helping each other,’’ said Dara B. Liberatore-Sawczuk, co-founder and president of Tidal Creek. "We have groups that come in just to meet and converse and talk. It’s almost like sitting around the breakfast table at home with family that draws people to us. We have a family-created atmosphere.”
Whether you’re a local stopping by for your morning coffee or a visitor discovering a vibrant gathering space, Tidal Creek Brewhouse makes you feel like you belong—and gives you a reason to come back again and again.
The Menu: Pints, Plates & Passion
At Tidal Creek Brewhouse, the menu is as thoughtfully crafted as the beers. Visitors can expect hearty brunch favorites, juicy burgers, and Lowcountry staples like shrimp & grits—all made with quality ingredients and local flavor.
The Brewmaster Burger is a local legend: an 8-ounce blend of short rib and sirloin, stacked high with pimento cheese, pulled pork, bacon, tomato jam, and pickles. Equally crave-worthy are the fried green tomatoes, generously portioned and drizzled with a bold remoulade, and the creamy, crab-stuffed she-crab soup that rivals versions at high-end coastal restaurants.
The beers range from light and crisp to bold and experimental. Signature pours like the Beam Reach IPA, Breezy Blonde Ale, and Liberatore Italian Pilsner are complemented by a rotating lineup of small-batch brews, often created in collaboration with local nonprofits or to celebrate community events.
Each dish is thoughtfully paired with a recommended beer, enhancing the flavor of both the food and the brew.
“We try to think out of the box,” said Executive Chef Josh Ashley. “It all begins with what I believe is good, and I go from there.”
That same mindset drives the brewing team, led by founding brewmaster Patrick Gibson. “You need beers that are easy to drink,” Gibson said. “They should enhance the meal, not overpower it.”
With generous portions, approachable beer pairings, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s easy to see why both locals and visitors keep coming back for another round—and another plate.
Coming Soon: Tidal Creek Picklehouse
In 2025, Tidal Creek is leveling up its game—literally—with the launch of the Tidal Creek Picklehouse, a one-of-a-kind concept combining a love of beer, food, and America’s fastest-growing sport: pickleball.
Opening adjacent to the original brewhouse, this new venue will feature ten pickleball courts (six uncovered and four covered), a full-service brewpub, a speakeasy-style bar, live entertainment, cornhole, arcade games, and plenty of space to gather. The expansion also includes a new on-site brewery for creative small-batch beers, many brewed in collaboration with local partners and community groups.

The Picklehouse will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a menu designed to fuel fun and flavor, while continuing Tidal Creek’s signature approach of high-quality, locally inspired cuisine.
The new facility isn’t just about more space—it’s about more connection. “We wanted to create something that brings more people together in more ways,” said Liberatore-Sawczuk. “Pickleball is playful, it's social, and it matches the spirit of who we are.”
With expanded event space, indoor-outdoor gathering areas, and a lineup of activities and programming planned throughout the year, the Picklehouse is set to be one of the most unique new spots in Myrtle Beach.
Visitors can also participate in the project itself. Tidal Creek has launched a crowdfunding campaign to give fans a chance to invest directly in the Picklehouse, making it a true community-grown destination.
Whether you’re here for the hops, the food, the music, or the match point, now is the perfect time to visit Tidal Creek Brewhouse—and experience what’s next.
