The place is a good alternative to the Spanish Galleon when you don't feel like bumping and grinding to unz unz music all night long. I came here recently with some old college friends really just to reminisce and hang out. This place has a little bit of everything - dance area, live bands, pool tables, TVs, and even a rooftop bar. The weather was really nice so went upstairs, which has a nice view of the mini fair/park located next door. Drinks are average priced, though don't expect top shelf stuff here. Also, they charge $5 cover whenever there's a live band, which is every single time I've gone to this place so keep that in mind. read more

Pirates Cove Lounge - Kaylynn's margarita - New American Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I've been coming to this bar for the last eight years. I may not have been here for the last two years but tonight I thought give it a try. On entering the premises, I opened the door went in and was told I'd have to go out the door and go through the security entrance So now i have two guys to check my license, bearing in mind I am71 years old and finally they allow me to enter the premises,on entering there were only 3 people there. I have two things to say ,why wasn't the main entrance not locked to prevent people not going in and I guess it's a jobs worth to to be-able to realize that I was 71 and have as to see my driving license read more

7/16/2024 Think twice Families and Friends. This place was recommended by Wyndham as a local place to go; only 7 minutes away from Tower2 And Wyndham club resorts.. Per the manager teathe police are always out front to make sure people make it home safe. Well as my nephews left the bar to walk back to Wyndham Tower 2 located at 403 S. Ocean Blvd. N Myrtle Beach SC which is 3 blocks away. My Nephews were violently attacked by some of the locals who waited at the entrance . The Myrtle Beach Police watched until 4 more squad cars arrived. Out of 13 locals , many bystanders and my son , nephew were detained while my nephew of color was slammed to the ground & forcefully handcuffed. The three cousins were pleading with the officers and stated to the squad, they are visiting family in the Military for reunion and that we were leaving tomorrow. My son had to call his white aunt to come help them get out of a unfortunate situation. If you're visiting stay clear of this restaurant. And loungeLocals don't want your patronage, especially if you are of color read more

Pirates Cove Lounge - these are pathetic. do not go here. - New American Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Aweful food! We went in with a family on vacation from Georgia since it is now listed at Mexican bar and grill . The waitress was very much a smart elic and I was awarded a delicious hair in my nachos ! Needless to say after two bites , I put it down . We asked if fries came with the burger and hot dog and she didn't know. We wanted a Carolina slaw dog, but no slaw. We wanted a quesadilla but no tortillas. We should have left while we had $233.00 still in our pocket . Terrible -- I Yelp an honest opinion good , bad, or indifferent, this one , is TERRIBLE! Save your money read more

From all the content I've Researched about this establishment, you guys have one or two bad eggs. You should look in the hiring new bouncers because they will become the downfall of your business. I know you see one star reviews and think nothing, most people don't even search before walking through the doors plus local community. However, this is the new age owners. Your business is literally going to become destroyed by TikTok read more

Nice dive bar with attentive and friendly staff they seem to try and make everyone feel like a local The prices could be a little less as some of the drinks are a little overpriced for the type of place it is but not bad at all and the taco shack across the road is incredible read more

A watering hole for the local mosquitos and other beings attracted to a cesspool like state of stagnation. Things to consider... we have been a number of times throughout our vacations over the years, but yesterday evening, the Friday after labor day was especially horrendous. For a bar, it has a pretty nice setup. A stage for live music and dance floor, plus pool and a wraparound bar on the first floor. Trudge outside to go up stairs to the rooftop bar, with a cool feel and also live music. Why was it wretched? The live music provided on a Friday evening at both locations left mostly everything to be desired. We were fortunate enough to be blessed by the most awkward of couples gregariously groping and what I can only describe as throwing themselves at each other with rather amazing flailing limbs in I suppose what they thought was really cool sexy dancing. NO. Also the number of people there by midnight was a paltry dismal few. Pirate's Cove itself though was really only to blame for the music selection. The experience was just lacking. BUT if you are in North Myrtle Beach, especially during the busy season, it is a fun happening place so try it out! read more

Waitress is very rude and acted like she didn't want to make any money. Very hesitant on serving us and the whole interaction was rude, just end up leaving. read more

Dirty, junky, and sketchy! We stopped in for an after dinner drink. A 6 oz Long Island and 6oz Margarita (in cheap plastic cup) came to over $22!! We witnessed a man order 2 shots of Fireball, a mixed drink and a Modelo. It came to $37. He refused to pay that much and said he just wanted the Modelo. The Modelo alone was $18! One beer! Needless to say, the guy left. Not sure why it was so spendy. Maybe the airplane advertising over the beach is very expensive?!?! Stay away. read more

I like this bar. Found it in 2013, and needed to come back this go around. Tried the Sky Club across the street, and I definitely prefer the Pirates Cove. The upstairs rooftop area at Pirates Cove is great to chill and hang out in; there are no frills. There is a small stage and we were treated to live music both times. Beer is ice cold, but all the other drinks come in a plastic cup upstairs. There is a $10 minimum on a card which isn't bad. Hope to come back here again next time I'm in town. read more

This location Is "Not African American friendly. The late-night waitress was not interested in helping me & girlfriends. She also smoked a cigarette just before attempting to make our drinks after I had to ask a Caucasian male that was sitting at the bar also to get her attention for me. It worked (sadly) read more

The place is dead every time I walked by but we wanted some nachos and margs so gave it a shot. Margs were ok but the bartender didn't seem super knowledgeable about them. He was nice but was on the phone and eating lunch next to us. The nachos were bland, cold, and came out of a can. Disappointing, if you like Mexican food don't count on this as your spot. read more

Robert was an amazing bartender and server. Super friendly and attentive to our table. Would recommend anything with their grilled chicken!

My family and I ate here for lunch and the food was great! I had the best margarita!! Our waiter Robert was amazing. We haven't been here for the nightlife, but had a great experience during the day. read more

I went here last night to grab a quick drink after dinner. The rooftop patio is nice to relax on but this bar has been empty every time I have been. This particular time, the woman at the door was extremely rude to us when we said (between ourselves) that we did not want to pay a cover to stop in for 20 minutes. She said something along the lines of "take that bad attitude somewhere else." Needless to say, we won't be returning here. Perhaps the bar would be busier if the staff treated people with hospitality. read more

Out wandering when lunch time hit. Steered in and watched some shag lessons in progress. Had a good cold beer and a BLT. Friendly staff. Clean. read more

Garbage customer service. Sat for 20+ minutes at the 1/3rd-filled bar before the bartender stopped BS-ing and drinking with her friends, and opened a beer for me. She then turned off the Tar Heel basketball game and put on an episode of Law & Order for my side of the bar. Thx. Where the hell is a manager on a Saturday night?. read more

This place is awful. In the bathroom there was mildew. We found hair in our food and the waitress smelled like straight asshole. The drinks were completely watered down. And the bouncer wasn't even hot. The building smelt like cow manure. The chicken gave us salmonella poisoning. The music was horrible, I could not even dance! The back of the place was incredibly dangerous with sand and wood EVERYWHERE. Definitely not going back. read more

This bar literally fills vodka bottles with water and charges $7 a drink. Music is great but don't bother buying drinks

If you want to come for your birthday come 364 days early to get a drink. My goodness just hire 1-2 more bartenders I'm literally writing this review waiting for a drink. We are here on a holiday weekend and they're staffed like mid-December goodnight are you that dry that you can't afford more help. I'm throwing money out asking for service (figuratively, that's demeaning) but for real help a brother out. read more

Its a dive bar. That's about all you need to know. Also, no TP in the bathroom. (Mens)

This is the place I always frequent during my North Myrtle Beach summer vacations. It's a cool little bar that usually has some local musicians playing & a host of out of towners looking to party (sometimes it's hit or miss on the crowd). I've been a "regular" going on 12 + years now. It's within walking distance to most of the beach front hotels & condos. What I really like about the Pirates Cove is the roof top bar & stage where there is a second bar & stage for musicians to play. I'm always impressed with the musical talent and the mix of locals & vacationers. This is my "go to" spot! See you next summer!! read more

The bouncer decided that my Washington, D.C. Drivers license was a foreign license and asked for a passport! Then he became really aggressive when I informed him that Washington, D.C. is actually in America! I've never been to the south, I'm sure I'll never come back ! read more

BEWARE- over charged my card! I was there this past weekend. I was there with friends. Had a great time, however when I checked my credit card account I noticed they charged me for more than what I had signed off on. I called the number on the receipt a couple of times - no answer and the vm was full. I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I also reached out to everyone with me to make sure they checked their accounts as well. Very disappointing. If it wasn't for that, they would have received a better review. read more

I can't say much for the main bar, because I wasn't in there. However, having some adult drinks on the rooftop terrace, listening to a beach music band set up in a neighboring parking lot, and staring out at the Atlantic Ocean ... priceless. They even have a small dance floor up there ... gotta dance when your favorite songs are played! The Shag, of course! It will stand! read more

We took my sister here last night for a few drinks for her 21st birthday and it turned into a mess. The bouncer looked at her REAL ID let her in, bartender rechecked it and then served her 3-4 drinks. She went outside and went back to get another drink and a new bouncer decided it was fake, put it in his pocket said they were calling the cops because it was fake. Took it back out she told him to call the cops he said he didn't want cops at the establishment. In the meantime the bouncer who said her Id was fake was checking another persons ID and I thought it was hers he dropped it I went to pick it up and he grabbed my arm and turned it and pushed me away. Because I went down to pick up an ID. (That I thought was my sisters) it was so bad her boyfriend and friend jumped in to help and he pushed her bf as well. Then yelled "don't try to go to SkyBar either because we own that too. The cops came didn't do anything because "he grabbed me because he thought I was trying to steal the ID because it was fake" gave the ID to the cop which he confirmed was REAL. So needless to say this is how my sisters 21st birthday went. I have called and asked for the owner to contact me he has never. The manager and bar manager were extremely apologetic but it should be the owners responsibility to correct this and make it right. It's sad that one employee set the mood for the entire night and we were have a great time before he came over claiming she had a fake ID. read more

Went in with low expectations because our uber driver didn't think it was a good place... Still came in, only to be 'greeted' by the bouncer, who refused to let us in because we didn't have our passports with us, even though we were holding US driver licenses!! After arguing and convincing the imbecile of his irrational (and illegal) position, he finally let us in. The guy treated one of my girlfriends very badly... read more

"Bar and GRILL?!?" Where's the "Grill" part?? I went there on a Monday to eat, drink and watch football on TV. I asked if there was Food and the loan bartender said "no." This was at 8PM at night. So-I ate, drank and watched the Lions-Cowboys game at the seafood joint across the street. It was raining, so I'm thankful I had another option. read more

Pretty spacious, live music, cheap drinks, good pool table, & very friendly service. Good spot.

I chose to sit in the rooftop section. I was never told that I had to physically get up and go tell the bartender my order. When I asked about different items on the menu, he could not answer them. He was drinking on the job and was clearly buzzed. The wait for my food was horrendous and there was barely a crowd. My steak and cheese tasted tike a cardboard box. Do not go here for good food or service!!! This may only be a good spot to get drunk at and listen to good bands. read more

We were on N myrtle for the day and meeting some folks. We were early so we stopped into this place for a bloody Mary and a bit while we waited. Not bad...the drinks were ok. The food edible. But what ruined the whole experience was when we went to cash out I got the tab and paid it with a generous tip but thinking " this is high???" When in asked my husband we decided it was indeed too much for what we ordered. So I called the bartender over and asked him and he said "oh yeah...I got your tab mixed up with those people.but I fixed it " ummm. What??? How did you fix it when I did not see a voided sale and a new tab??? When we questioned him he got all indignant. ..even a little beligerant and slapped $10 on the bar. Great. I still tipped you out at the higher rate. Anyway...watch out for this scam at this.place. btw...the tab was never corrected. When I checked my bank account I was charged the wrong amount. But whatever lesson learned. I'll just never go back there again. The bartender is a scam artist. read more
