People smoking inside the restaurant. Haven't seen that in years. Was looking forward to trying the food because of the good reviews. Walked in and walked out. It's been years since I quit so the smell of cigarettes could not be tolerated by me and my family. read more

This review is exclusively for lunch :) Stumbled upon this dive bar as I was looking for lunch along the boardwalk, and boy was I taken by surprise!! I had the 1/2 lb Angus Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of fries and holy crap it was amazing. This burger was killer. I hiiiiiighly recommend it. With the Swiss cheese and bacon, mmmmm!!! read more

Yep, it's a dive bar just like the other reviews say but service is great and loved the burger. (I didn't eat one) fresh ground beef patties. Did help him with his fresh cut fries. Fyi. it is a smoking bar. read more

Nothing spectacular but the food and the service is great. Love this place. Every time we are in Myrtle this is a must stop in joint. read more

Duffy's Tavern - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Walked the boardwalk one night, with a group of friends, we wanting to bar hop. Came across Duffy's. It sounded like a fun place to check out. We could hear the music playing from outside. And we could see people dancing inside, through the windows. The entertainment seemed great, which is what dragged us in! Got carded outside, walked in to pay the cover, noticed it was still a smoking bar. So we left. A smoke filled bar is not a place for us. Which is why I gave it only 2 stars. We are originally from New England, and up there you haven't been able to smoke indoors since I was just a young kid. So it's odd that some places still allow it down here. read more

Went to Duffys for lunch today. I had to order the eighth wonder burger just to see it. I was not disappointed, the presentation was great and the taste was even better. My friends had rave reviews about their meals also! read more

Duffy's Tavern - Eighth Wonder Burger - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This bar is located right next to the boardwalk so it's easy to get to from most resorts in the area. It isn't the cleanest looking place but drinks aren't expensive and their burgers are pretty darn good. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed eating here. It was definitely your typical bar food, but it was really good. The prices were very reasonable for what you get. Our service was great as well. My wife and I wanted a low key night on the boardwalk with some great food and Duffy's made that happen. I'm only giving four stars, because it could have been a little cleaner, but other than that everything was great! read more

Duffy's Tavern - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I love this place. On the beach, cold beer, great people! It's a dive bar but it has great food and great people. Sit outside and enjoy the scenery with some friends and a cold one. The play classic rock music which I enjoy. read more

A friend and I went to visit a buddy in Myrtle Beach last week. While walking the Boardwalk we seen this place and really got a kick out of the front of the bar. We decided to go in and loved the place. Its nothing fancy, just a laid back place with a really friendly staff. We hit it off right away with the bartender and we felt right at home. We ordered a few dogs and a burger and they were delicious. They also have a cool juke box with really good tunes on it. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town. read more

Duffy's Tavern - Very cool place to have a few beers, eat some good food and listen to some great tunes! - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We stopped in because it looks like a little dive (my favorites) it was a little country bar on one side where we sat and it looked like a bigger open side on the other. They played country music the whole time and my wife enjoyed I think every song. Place seemed to be kept up with. I had a burger and fries ordered how I like it and my wife had the cheese fries. The order came out in a decent time (the burger had to cook). During our wait the waitress kept us stocked up without hesitation, she was very friendly and in top of things. Food was good, thays what a burger should be like nothing skimpy but not ridiculously huge either, beers were cold and cheap during happy hour. Overall it was a good experience I would recommend it to anyone walking buy and hungry, good stop away from the normal chains. read more

Out in Myrtle Beach with my family for spring break...best food since we've been here....my kids had the burgers,philly cheese, fish sandwich and I had the basket of shrimp.....everyone's food was so fresh... And the fresh cut fries....yummy read more

This is a classic myrtle beach relic. It is old and it doesn't have anything impressive to show other then being part of the Bowery where Alabama first started. We visit myrtle beach several times a year and this is always one place we agree to go to. We always order the wings with fries and they have always been fantastic. 10 wings, fries are under $9. Appetizers are also very good. You are promptly greeted once you walk in and you feel right at home. They have some of the best service on the boardwalk. Pool tables located at the back. Again nothing super special other then they are always consistent on their service and quality. Also even though it's a bar, during lunch I would say it could be family friendly. I have never seen anything I wouldn't want a small child around. Few people having a beer and rarely anyone smoking. Can't say the same after dark. read more

Couple of pool tables. Room for roughly 15 ppl to sit at bar. You get a choice from burgers, sandwiches or wings from the menu. As well as appetizers. I've been there a couple times on my stay here and they have all been good times. The food was decent. A couple of the workers were drunk pricks. But hey, you'll run into that every now and again. Better places to go in the area but still not a bad. Choice. read more

I just left there a hour ago. My wife ,stepson and three children. The food was absolute garbage.The buffalo shrimp plate was a heated fried shrimp with a buffalo sauce squirted on top of it. The two kids hotdogs were dried our dogs on a bun. They looked like they had sat on one of those hotdog rollers for hours and then put on a bun. My wife's Duffy dog like a chili cheese dog fell apart in her hand when she picked it up totally disgusting.My step sons burger had bacon on it ,he said the bacon was like rubber. My wife ordered a drink Bloody Mary , it was served in a plastic small Dixie cup. A water size small Dixie cup . I have never seen such a small sized cup to serve a drink in ever. I almost ordered a beer glad I did not . I saw on the next table over a couple received the same size cup for a draft beer. I give this place only one star because at least the Server was good. 58.00 bill for I guess about 7.00 worth of actual food ,pre-made heated food. I left 20%for the server the only thing good.Don't eat here if your just looking for a place to eat as a tourist while walking around the boardwalk. It looks like a nice place to eat outside and watch the people walk by. read more

Ugh! I'm so sad to have wasted my lunch at this place. The sign says "warm beer, lousy food and bad service" and while the beer was cold and the service was fine, the sign was right about the food. We only came because there were some good yelp reviews for it. I ordered the "hillbilly philly" which is outside my normal type of order but the description sounded soooo good. It wasn't. It was supposed to be shaved steak with fried green peppers and onions served on a hoagie roll and yes, I guess those were the ingredients plus about a 1/4 of nasty fat oozing out of it. Now you'd think that's make it flavorful but it was nasty. Like eating shavings that'd been sitting on a greasy griddle all day. Don had the hot dog. How can you ruin that, right? But it also was flavorless. Yelpers ... you let me down on this one! I'm not sure how good any of the other places on the boardwalk are, but read the sign at Duffy's and heed the warning! read more

If you are looking for classy this is not the place but if you are looking for a great burger or wings this is spot on! A game of pool. A couple of beers or drinks and dinner. The burgers are fabulous! Hubby said the wings could be a little crispier but I think he's picky. Happy hour Monday thru Friday four pm until seven. Might be our Friday night haunt. read more

First of all this place was THE MOST RACIST place I've ever been to!! To start, the bouncer only checked our ID's. Mind you there happened to be a group of Caucasian men in front of us that didn't go through the same procedure. Then, once we sat at the bar the bartenders were just talking as if they didn't see us. Once someone had to say something THEN that's when they offered us a menu. I specifically asked for extra crispy wings that came back slimey and barely done. They had tip jars sitting out on the table. Every jar was almost full except ours, which only contained ONE $20 bill, and the bartender came over and cleared only our jar out! Once we decided to leave the bartender had the nerve to say "people like you never leave tips" MIND YOU we SPECIFICALLY tipped their sorry asses in the JAR. Wouldn't recommend this place to Satan himself!!! read more

Corn, crab and bisque soup. This is so bland has no flavor to it. Taste like bisqucik and is disgusting. This should be taken off the menu period. read more

Just went and had lunch here and had the best chicken sandwich i have ever had. food was amazing and service was incredible 10/10 environment read more

The best! Great folks , great food , and great prices ! If you are looking for the "cool" spot, go here ! Pool , jukebox, cold beer , fat burgers. =D read more

It's hard to say what's "the best"...burger, steak, seafood, etc. Right? Too much history, and too much time has passed. Just not fair to say that. But I'll say this: Best burger in my memory over at least the last 5-10 years. Hands down. Fresh (not frozen) high quality angus beef cooked PERFECTLY (medium rare for me, thank you) crispy edges, grill fried. Love it! Fresh toppings (tomatoe, lettuce, and chopped yellow onions) Bun--FRESH. Nothing special (probably not home made, but FRESH) Wish I was a couple hours closer. WILL RETURN next visit!! read more

Open friendly bar with delicious food. Loved our waiter/ bartender, he was awesome and funny. Great music and local crowd, would definitely come back. I especially loved the fire alarm burger, it was cooked perfectly, and my boyfriend like his Mahi strips (though our Mac n cheese bites were a bit strange). The alcohol tasted great and was priced incredibly cheap (3 dollar draft beer)! read more

Love the service, food and drinks. Their motto may be hot beer, lousy food and bad service, but it's our favorite place to hang. And Mike knows how to pour a drink and take care of his customers. read more

This place is great! The nachos are to die for. We were seated quickly and our waiter was super nice and punctual with everything. The food is AMAZING as well and not a bad deal considering all the food around the area is over priced. It was a great amount of food for what we paid for. read more

The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding!Max was a wonderful and attentive server! We'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great meal! read more

This is a typical sports bar however the staff was very nice and the food was delicious I ordered that 1 pound burger which was huge I could not even finish eating it I would return again because they have live entertainment throughout the week they have pool tables available it's in a central location to everything on the boardwalk read more

See all

I asked our Uber driver where he recommended for a quick lunch. It was an unambiguous vote for Duffy's with the great burgers. I was torn between fried chicken and the burgers when I ordered. The waitress didn't miss a beat, unanimous vote for the burgers. This was all good advice, Duffy's was awesome and it's because they have awesome burgers!!! read more

This place is a gem! The staff is so friendly, witty and on top of the service game. The food is legit. Everything is handmade and it really shows. Definitely my new go to place in myrtle beach. read more

Great food, beer and prices. If you sit outside you will have to weather the smokers.

The Bowery is just one of those places you crave to return to every time you visit. Hands down the best burger in Myrtle and one of the best I've had just about anywhere. The patty's are fresh and hand pressed to order. All the toppings are fresh as are the fries that are cut each day. Cold cans of beer and a fantastic happy hour make this one of our favorites! Do yourself a favor and check it out....you won't be disappointed! read more

It's a dive. It's filled with smokers. It's got nasty bathrooms and the beer selection is loaded with miller and budweiser labels. However, we did find the hidden gems. They were open Christmas Day!!! Woot woot. After 2 beers the deep fried pickles hit the spot. Being the surly bar that they are, the burger was cooked how they wanted it to be cooked (i.e. No asking for medium rare) but it was tasty and for well done was still juicy. Giving it 4 stars solely for the deep fried pickles bc they were delish. Just the right amount of breading and the perfect portion size. Thanks for being open on Christmas Day!!! read more

Just an old school bar. Good bar food. The pepper jack Mac and cheese bites are really good! I had a burger, was cooked just right topped with crispy onion rings bacon and BBBQ sauce. A good burger. My mom had the hillbilly philly, she really liked it said it was a good flavorful sandwich cooked fresh. My GF had the hot dog that had just about everything you could want on a hot dog. The normal condiments along with special guests chili cheese and jalapeños. She said it was good but nothing crazy special. We all had the fresh cut fries and and they where really good. If your going to the Bowery, I'd say swing in to Duffy's before the band gets started and put some food in your gut before walking next door and pounding some Bowery brew and gettn your country on! read more

Here in the off season. This place is full of history. It has ice cold beer, good tavern food and a great vibe. Don't be fooled by the sign outside, bartender was a nice guy. read more

Stopped in for an after dinner drink. Bartenders were nice and friendly. I could see the cooks making burgers on the grill and they looked awesome. I was only going to have one drink but had two because it was such a friendly environment. read more

We had burgers & cheese fries. Delicious! Good portions, affordable prices, and right next to the ocean! Recommended!

Great little beach bar. Right on the boardwalk. Burgers are fantastic!!! And they have a big selection. Fries are typical board fries...decent. Staff super friendly. read more

Duffy's Tavern - American Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Excellent burgers! You can view the ocean from the patio area...can get crowded. not the best choice for families with small children, more of a bar atmosphere. We ate here several times during our vacation and it was always excellent! read more

Fun little seaside bar! Stopped here because I was desperate for a COKE and not Pepsi, which seems to be what most Myrtle Beach restaurants serve. Husband had hot wings (HOT!) and I had the BLT. Both were delicious. French fries were soggy and sad, though. Atmosphere was neat, with dark lighting, funky bar decor, and pool tables in the back. Definitely a pub feel. Prices not bad at all. It's connected to the Bowery so you can enjoy live music while there also. read more

First of all, yes it is a dive bar. Great little bar for drinks and food. The bar tenders are great. Brea, Russell, Spitty and Ishy are friendly. Tonight I had Spitters wings with fresh cut fries. My fiance had Lee's Chicken Parm, grilled. Everything was hot and fresh. The hand cut fries are the best in town. I have dietary restrictions and they were more than happy to accommodate my needs. Their burgers are fresh and cooked to order. There is a live band 6 nights a week from March through November on the The Bowery side. We have had a great time on that side also. read more
