Had such a great time here! Was super nice sitting outside under the covered patio. Bar is huge and plenty of seating, although it was packed on a Thursday night in early april! The bartenders were very attentive and there was a guy playing guitar adding to the overall chill but friendly vibe! We got there during happy hour where sushi rolls were $6!! Delicious! The happy hour menu is fantastic and their mixed drinks are great too! read more

Tuna Shak - Great open air bar - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Always stop by Tuna Shak when I'm visiting.. really gives a SC feel! Giving four stars for the location, ambiance, and live music! It's a great place to stop in for live music, people watching, or catching a game.. it is located right before the pier and there is live music indoors and outdoors most of the day. They have a great happy hour as well but the prices are reasonable without happy hour. The bar is usually crowded and hard to find seating and servers are working hard but can take awhile. My most recent experience with the sushi was subpar but I don't go into it with high expectations for the food. The sushi was uneven and missed ingredients and just sloppy.. it was better the last time I ordered. Otherwise, Definitely an experience when visiting ! read more

Tuna Shak - Uneven, messy, subpar - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

We ordered a bloody Mary and some oysters on the half shell. The bloody Mary came with no olives no celery no horseradish no condiments ... The oysters came with no utensils no oyster crackers no saltines no nothing just oysters. Save your money and time - the bartender here is in a coma and the waitress is in a near-coma . Great location! read more

We never eat here because it's really more of a bar that sometimes has bands outside. But it's a great place to have a few drinks, listen to some live music or watch college football. The beer is always ice cold and they also have some specialty drinks available. read more

Tuna Shak - Watching the Bama game at the Tuna Shak. Roll Tide. - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

To the dip shit bartender who worked tonight...the parking validation code is oink, not ONIK. You misspelled it for us repeatedly, then couldn't care less when our parking code wouldn't go through. Also, football doesn't need to be full volume for an empty bar, and your drinks suck! Luckily we wandered down to Dead Dog Saloon and managed to salvage the evening. Get better staff! read more

Well, I am here for the third time in a couple months. I absolutely love this place! However, the service today was seriously lacking. We sat at the bar and couldn't get the attention of the bartender to order food. It wasn't even busy, so I'm not sure what she was doing. Also, they didn't have sushi, which was the reason we came. And the specialty drink on tap wasn't made. :( read more

This bar is right on the boardwalk at Murrel's Inlet next to the sushi restaurant. We grabbed a couple of summer time beers to lift our rainy day spirits and watched some boats come in from their morning fishing trip. We also got to see lots of birds and people watching by the boardwalk is an ideal past time. I love a bar with a view and Tuna Shak has just that! The food didn't appeal to me as much so we just had a couple drinks. There is plenty of space to spread out and the roof kept us dry during the monsoon. PSA - they have Mango Cart and Margaritas ON DRAFT! I liked Tuna Shak and would go back if I'm in the area again. read more

Tuna Shak - two green cups on a wooden table - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Great place to stop in for a drink. Typically live music on the weekends. Great views of the Inlet. Staff is quick to service and several flat screens playing sports. read more

Great drinks awesome bartenders anytime we get food it is always awesome! It is our home away from home. Lots of TVs to watch all the sports

Great happy hour prices. When the weather is nice it's good to sit outside and enjoy a drink and cheap sushi. There was live music when I was there last week, which I enjoyed. I prefer to sit outside when I'm there. I feel like inside is tight and usually smells like a stale old bar - fine if that's the vibe you want. I will always stop here though because I love the sushi. read more

This is our #1 go to spot on the marsh walk for happy hour. They have great food and drink special, and the bar tenders are very generous. They play great variety of county music over the speakers, and also frequently have solid live music bands on the stage. We have had some great afternoons/nights start out here with some happy hour drinks and apps. read more

Seems like you have to watch the bartender, he likes putting his friends tab on people CC. Two times and two different people. No trust there anymore. Hopefully they regain locals trust. read more

Very good sushi. My husband and I were served at the bar by Courtney who was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back!

We LOVED the live music that was playing here, and the bartender was very sweet. He even changed the tv to track and field for me and my bestie!!! We use to run track together in HS so watching track and field is like our little thing lol. Thanks for showing us a great time Tuna Shak! read more

VERY BAD experience last night at the TUNA SHAK! Paid my $10 drinks with a FIFTY DOLLAR BILL and received only TEN dollars in change. The bartender never rang up the transaction and put the fifty in his pocket. When he was questioned, he just said " look there in no fifty dollar bill in the register ". The manager proceeded to yell at us to leave, and said if the drawer was over at the end of the night, we could come to get our money the next day. Of course it's not over, the bartender has my fifty in his pocket! LAST TIME YOU GET ANY OF OUR BUSINESS. We are locals not tourists and we will definitely spread the word. read more

Used to be one of our favorite stops at the Marsh Walk and we're at the Marsh Walk 3 or 4 times a month, had family in from out of town so I took them too the Marsh Walk Murrells Inlet started at Creek Ratz they are always happy and glad to see you actually every restaurant and bar there is happy to see you except Tuna Shak the bartenders would rather talk to each other than customers we had to interrupt there conversation to get our tab and also yesterday it smelled like stale beer it needs a good cleaning read more

Hands down the best bar I have been too in all of Myrtle Beach area. Highly recommend the Wicked Pineapple drink. Bartenders are very generous. Prices are the most affordable I have seen anywhere here. Great atmosphere. GREAT LIVE MUSIC!! We came all of the way from Central Myrtle to Murrels Inlet. I recommend that in general for this area. Murrels Inlet is the best part of Myrtle Beach. Tuna Shak is the whip cream and cherry on top. read more

Tuna Shak - Wicked Pineapple with takehome cup. Very good. - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

My wife ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon, and the bartender brought her a "Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc." Oh, I thought, what's next? A Pinot Noir Grigio? Lol. This place is like the inverse of a Twinkie. A Twinkie doesn't look good on the outside--like a lame doughy dog treat, really--but is sweet and perfect on the inside. The service is slow because the staff are trained in the wrong ways. The beer selection is mediocre at best. The happy hour menu is fool's gold. Many of the patrons are douchey. Great view though! read more

A Wicked Tuna outside bar. Sat here enjoying my afternoon away from work alone. Enjoyed the weather, the bartenders and the food and drinks! Order the coco-nut drink with the souvenir cup, the happy hour spicy tuna roll and wings. Everything was good and when I am back in the area I will be sure to come back! read more

Good food nice outdoor atmosphere weather permitting closest to the big parking lot. Only drawback outhouses! Nice Long happy hours, pretty decent music read more

Just stopped for a brew. A couple of good local ones on tap. No seats available so we'll meander somewhere else for food. I did like the atmosphere & enjoyed being on the river walk. Very scenic. read more

I love this place !! Right on the Inlet, it's open so the breeze keeps it very cool. On extremely hot days they turn the air conditioning on and use the plastic coverings that still affords you a wonderfull view. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the service. Young girls behind the bar totally ignored us. Had to practically beg for a beer. And we are both in the service industry. We are great tippers!!! Left after first beer because of this. I'll give it another try just because of the location and view. I'm sure these girls won't be working there much longer read more

Tuna Shak - Tiki Bars Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

if I could give zero stars I would. went to this place first time last night . 3 bartenders ( 1female and 2 males) were extremely rude. The female bartender put a bunch of things on my tab that were not mine. I addressed this with one male bartender who told me it was an easy fix and he'd fix it. later that evening when I went to close my tab I informed other male bartender that my tab still wasn't right and tried to explain the previous events and he told me I was yelling and calm down ( they play music and it's loud hence why I was yelling ). I then got upset and explained three diff staff couldn't get my bill right and I wanted it corrected and the 2 other bartenders came over and I now had three of them with attitudes telling me to calm down, not a big deal, etc. the 2nd male bartender was the rudest and at one point said he would pay my bill to shut this " bitch up" since shes " too hard up". it was never about not being able to pay but the fact 3 diff staff members screwed up. they finally got the manager Christy who was pleasant and helpful ( bartender Lauren was super pleasant as well). I don't know how the majority of this staff have jobs when their attitude and customer service sucks. bottom line - I did nothing wrong and I didn't screw up the bill so I shouldn't be talked to in that fashion . read more

Jay and Mel are great! I'm definitely coming back. Jay does work and Mel does the most with a smile on her face.

I haven't eaten here...wasn't even sure if you could but I did see people getting food which I think comes from the Wicked Tuna right next to it. But this is kind of a indoor/outdoor waterfront bar that reminds me of a beach bar because it has the ambiance of tiki and things like big jenga and connect four among other games that people can partake in. I did enjoy that. However the reason I give 3 stars is the service was definitely not up to par. We sat right at the bar on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy at all but there were people there and 2-3 bartenders so it wasn't like we were backing anyone up or even closing the place down. It took us awhile to even be greeted. The one girl was walking back and forth looking "busy" but I couldn't tell you what she was doing. The other one was drinking something and watching football and there was another one running back and forth from Wicked tuna. Finally the girl finished her drink and came over and took our drink orders. I ordered a moscow mule which was right on the bar menu and the guys ordered beer. I don't know what she thought a moscow mule was but she proceeded to fill a plastic cup with vodka, lime juice, ginger ale, and sweet and sour. It was yellow. I took a swig and omg it was so sour. I asked if she could give me another one with just vodka, splash of lime, and ginger. She looked confused and then had the other girl make it. The other girl told me that this girl didn't know what she was doing and next time order it from a different person...Um okay well why is she working at the bar, she really should learn the drinks... The next drink was better. Then we never were asked if we wanted another drink. We had to flag someone down for one. And the reason we had to flag was because the girls were in the corner doing shots with another guest. I am all for having fun. Drinking on the job? Not so sure that's right but who am I to judge if this is how things are done here. But if you're a bartender and you're reliant on tips, its not that hard to simply acknowledge and serve your guests in a timely manner. They seem nice enough, just nice enough to sit at the bar and have drinks, not work behind the bar. It was a great evening and it was spoiled by not being able to have drinks while sitting AT the bar. I love the atmosphere and location so I'm hoping it would be better with a different staff. read more

Awesome little place right outside of wicked tuna in the inlet on the water. Beautiful place for happy hour or drinks as it sits right on the marsh Walk. Their happy hour is out of this world, featuring sushi from wicked tuna and an assortment of many other options. Staff is friendly, good vibes...check it out! read more

Horrible food and service! Check your bartenders pockets, he likes to take your money, not ring it up, give back wrong change. Food was -1

Bar staff recently pocketed a $50 from a local customer for a $10 drink and gave $10 change. The manager threw them out. No tolerance for this stuff. read more

This place was not very busy at all, but it took about 10 mins to get a bartender to look my way for a drink. Had no issue getting my first drink with just my ID and I left my tab open. Go back for my second drink, with my tab open, and get told I can't have a drink without a wristband?? When I showed the bartender my ID, she said I have to have a wristband , and when I said I wasn't aware and wasn't sure where to get one, she stated "I don't have to serve you this drink if you don't want me to." Then vaguely points in the direction of the person issuing wristbands. Customer service here is terrible. read more

Went there twice on vacation...great service and snacks. Live music inside and then outside. Fried pickles were yummy. read more

Food and drinks were good. Service was NOT good. I am a server so I get business but it was dead and I can barely get any service. Bartenders stand in the corner and bullshit instead of waiting on us. Very short, unfriendly and unapproachable. I would come back again if the service was better. read more

drinks taste like dirty trash. would not recommend. unless you like butthole tasting drinks.

very loud music, not enough staff. the food was inedible and cold. the calmari rings and fries were tasteless. I don't understand how anyone can like this place read more

there is no rating...i enjoyed the tuna shak 4-5 years ago...now i could care less if it shutdown...i am not one to write a bad review but this place has TERRIBLE service...i have been in the service world since 1981 and would never avoid serving a customer...there are 3-4 bartenders who cannot keep up with the workload...very sad avoid this place like the plague read more

I love the outdoor location, the huge bar and the live bands. You can also play cornhole. The drinks were good and the staff was friendly.

The tuna shack looks good but there is no service. Sat down, nobody came (staff walked by us). Went to the bar and they told us there would be table service so we sat back down for about 20 minutes and enjoyed the music.... Then we left. Terrible. read more
