Fun, friendly and just a stone's throw from the beach, boardwalk and downtown strip. GSB is known for a great selection of brews including the official beer of Myrtle Beach: Beach Easy. This tasty Belgian Wheat joins a selection of favorites that also includes Airbrush Hazy IPA, Jolene Red Ale, and Salty Golfer Pineapple Blonde. The menu at GSB isn't huge, but everything here is tasty — especially the burgers.

Over the years, this "local's favorite" spot has expanded with locations in Surfside Beach and North Myrtle Beach that are part sports bar, part craft brew bar, part deli and all parts equally awesome for locals and visitors alike.

Various Locations

There are four locations in all, with Grumpy Monks at Broadway at the Beach, in North Myrtle Beach and at U.S. 501 near Tanger Outlets, as well as a sister restaurant called Sneaky Beagle in Carolina Forest. All these spaces offer unique experiences, but carry a similar vibe that mixes a upscale bar feel with a great family dining experience that includes an expansive menu spanning from sushi and salads to burgers and beers. Check out the especially pet-friendly Sneaky Beagle, enjoy the waterfront views of the Broadway location or catch a game at the full-on sporty North Myrtle Beach location.

Since '98, they’ve been crafting delicious ales and lagers, including favorites like White Ale and Nut Brown Ale. Their taproom is the perfect spot to sample seasonal specialties and unique one-off creations.

5148 U.S. 17 Business, Murrells Inlet
Promising a taste of Southern hospitality, handcrafted beers, and a fun atmosphere, this place fits the laid-back Murrells Inlet vibe perfectly. The brewery’s six flagship brews cover a gamut of styles; from Pop’s Pilsner and Goldilocks Golden Ale to Blackwater Porter and the 5 Points IPA. There’s also a tasty menu to enjoy. We recommend the Lowcountry Shrimp Burrito, a unique dish stuffed with Carolina red rice and peas, collard greens, remoulade and wrapped in a tomato-herb tortilla.

3421 Knoles St., Myrtle Beach (The Market Common Area)
Tidal Creek is one of the area's best local breweries and truly does it all. Not only do they have more than a dozen taps filled with handcrafted brews spanning every style from Pilsners, Ales and Lagers to Porters, Stouts and Sours — they even brew their own house Seltzer — they also have amazing food all day, great coffee and tons of things going on. There's tons to choose from, but we'd suggest trying their popular Brunch and sampling a Libertore Italian Pilsner, named after the brewery's owner.
