Oh Pop's - Late Night Wildness…read more We've visited Myrtle Beach a couple of times in the past year. Each time we visit we always stop in at Pops. We were not disappointed this time either. Upon first sight you might think it's not much of a place. Take the time to sit down, try the food, the drinks and talk to the bartenders, and the locals who frequent this place. You will not be disappointed. After just a little while you feel like part of the family. You will not find this in the big tourist bars on Ocean Blvd. If you want a feel for what people in Myrtle Beach are like this is the place to go. Karaoke here is great too. It's a fun place. Thanks

We were in town and said "cool a Browns backers bar". The place stinks like cigarette smoke and there were pubes all over my menu. I used a whole bottle of purel to clean my hands. If I could leave a lesser rating I would. The property should be demolished and sanitized. read more

This sports bar was opened in, I believe 2024, and is located in the heart of Myrtle Beach in a…read morestrip mall on Highway 17 Business. There's plenty of free parking lot parking out front. We visited this location just before Christmas 2025 at about 6:30 pm on a weeknight and the joint was quite lively. They had a singer/guitar player doing his thing (we didn't really care for him, but that's ok) and the bar was well staffed. It's called Bourbon Street, but it's definitely not a whiskey or bourbon bar. Yes, they have Blanton's and a few other premium bourbons, but you won't find anything exotic at all here bourbon wise. This place is a sports bar that does bar food and steaks and they run happy hour specials as well. We didn't eat on our visit, but those that ordered food had dishes/items that definitely looked appealing. Prices are pretty fair here, but we felt the gem of this location was it's service. We never had to wait long at all to be served or refilled. Their bartenders (we were served by three different ones) were very friendly and quite attentive to all their customers. There's free wifi and plenty of seating both at the bar and at tables throughout. The floor plan is cut up sort of weirdly and I do wish it was one huge, open floor plan, but the roof support doesn't seem to allow for it. They do have a small stage in one corner for musicians, etc. This is a good sports bar that seems to do a really good job of sports barring. Check it out if you're looking for a competent and friendly sports bar.
