Twelve 33 Distiller is a gem, a delight, a treat and worth visiting. My wife and I did the VIP…read moretour and it was amazing - very well led by SAM who spoke well on how they make their spirits as he showed us around, helping us pick spirits for our sampling and leading us through the equipment then to the "secret" Speakeasy. We loved our time at Twelve 33, enjoying our visit with SAM and KEVIN, the food, the spirits and the general feeling of joy persistent throughout the facility. Highly recommend you work in time to visit! TOUR $29 per person gets you a very personalized tour with an employee - in our case, that employee was SAM TICE who we learned is the Assistant Distiller and Operations Manager so he definitely knows his stuff! On the tour, you start by picking your spirits that will be on your tasting flight. Yeah, it seems weird to pick them up front but then while you're on the tour in the back, their staff is pouring all your spirits so they are ready for you when you're done - very efficient! And don't worry, your guide will assist you in selecting spirits and there's a very descriptive menu to help you out as well. SPIRITS The spirits I tried were excellent and my wife enjoyed hers as well, starting with their Intemperance Vodka that both of us got and fell in love with. And that's saying something! We are both Belvedere fans as our number one vodka of choice, and it's a Rye vodka so normally we're not in on the corn/wheat types but this vodka was smooth, delightful and fun enough that we purchased 2 bottles on our way out. Beyond that, our tastes went different directions as I loaded up on whiskeys and my wife went the tequila and cream liquor route. My favorite was the Triple Oaked whisky which I also procured a bottle of as we exited SPEAKEASY Such a fun surprise - at the end of the tour, you open their speakeasy by uttering the password, and step back into time with early 1900's decor and music, plus your tasting flight waiting with water and pretzels for you to enjoy. They give you time to taste and also select a cocktail (included in the tour) from their menu which they bring to you to imbibe in this fun room! FOOD We only tried one item from their Small Bites menu - a flatbread - but it was awesome. Very interesting flatbread as it was smaller than I think we expected but the ingredients were perfectly balanced and appropriately sized - we had the BBQ Chicken pizza with BBQ sauce, roasted chicken, purple onion and 3 cheese blend. It was cute and the perfect amount of food for a snack before we moved on to dinner closer to our hotel. STAFF Besides SAM who gave us the tour, we met KEVIN OSBORN, the founder/owner/head distiller who swung by to say hello and chat for a moment. He was very nice and it was great of him to drop by. We had servers and other staff that were equally friendly and welcoming - a warm, enthusiastic group of people that all seem to truly love working at Twelve 33 Distillery, and it made our visit even better

Founded in 2017, the Twelve 33 Distillery (named after the month when prohibition ended) was the…read morefirst distillery to open in Horry County (both Myrtle Beach and Little River are located in it). It has a wide variety of different spirits, and has a strongly recommended tasting tour. My wife and I took advantage of our free time near Myrtle Beach during a hotel change-over, making (and paying for) the reservation on-line. Both of us really loved it, and really appreciated how the uncrowded time let us slowly enjoy every part of the tour, especially the tasting(s) at the end. The tour costs $29 per person, paid at the time of reservation. The distillery's bar opened at the same time as our tour (around 1 pm). It is located in a newer strip mall, right off of highway 17, with a dunkin donuts is in the same building. There was plenty of free outdoor parking in front. It's a beautiful space inside, with plenty of open seating and high unfinished ceilings. We were the only two on the tour, and Eric was our guide. We started by writing the 6 chosen spirits for the later tasting. My wife chose - Intemperance vodka - Carolina Peach Vodka - Crusader Spiced Rum - Tipsy Joe Coffee Cream Liqueur - two others while I chose - Blueberry Vodka - Arethusa Single Barrel Rum - Big Six Double Oak Bourbon - Big Six Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey - Traigh Mhor American Single Malt Whiskey - Rocco Loco American Agave We then went on our tour, in the industrial area of the building. The actual space where the magic happens doesn't require much walking to see all of it. So it depends a lot on the tour guide to keep the spirit going: to entertain and hopefully do a little (in our case a lot) of education. Eric was great at all of it, and we even got to meet the owner (Kevin), who was working the floor. I had done a little studying for a previous distillery review, so what Eric taught us confirmed a lot. Two things of note were the two large vessels , nicknamed 'Bonnie' for the mash tun (where the grains are cooked) and 'Clyde' for the copper still. We then moved to the custom-built hidden speakeasy, where a secret password needed to be whispered to the lion head guarding the room (the secret word is related to Prohibition, like a lot of things here). Once we entered, our flights were ready and included 3 cream liquors as well. Eric then switched over to become our bartender/waiter, bringing water and pretzels, and offering suggestion and answers. He made it clear that we could take our time. Once we were done with the samples, we got to choose a full size cocktail (normally $13). We got a 'Never Trust a Ginger' (peach vodka, OJ, simple syrup, lime, basil, and ginger beer) and 'Eddie the Swinia' (bourbon, agave, lemon juice, cherry bitters). Both were excellent, eminently drinkable. We were having a really good time, admiring the atmosphere of the speakeasy. After we finished our drinks, we ordered 3 of the popular spirits to bring back home: Doc Scoflaw ($69.95), Carolina Peach Vodka ($29.95), and Big Six Double Oak ($59.95). Ten percent was taken off because we took the tour. The tax here was 8% (definitely a lot more palatable then the 21% charged in some places). We stayed a little bit longer to admire the room, and then left...remarking how nice everyone was, and hoping that future spirit tours would be as gratifying as this one.

Since it was my father's last night in North Myrtle Beach until September I thought it would be a great place to have our last dinner together for a while. I dialed up my app and made a 7PM reservation for three. We pulled in about 6:50 and found a spot right in front of the restaurant...it was going to be a good night. We got inside and chose to sit indoors near the bar. My father likes to see people and I felt this would be a good spot to do this and it was. The restaurant was mid century modern in design, airy and uncluttered...we were seated in a booth - chair combo that was a rendition of that style. We looked at the drink menu and my father went for a glass of Pinot Noir, his friend went for a lemon drop martini and I went for a Heineken 00. The waitress couldn't be nicer and quickly brought us our drinks. The lemon drop was perfect and served in an ice cold steel martini glass while my father was quite happy with his California Pinot. We reviewed the food menu and decided to share two "tables"...the deviled eggs and the pimento cheese dip with home made pork rinds. Within a few minutes, four deviled eggs arrived dressed up with a slice of jalapeño and sprinkled with bacon bits. A large plate of fresh pork rinds with homemade pimento cheese came out simultaneously. The deviled eggs were excellent with just the right texture and not too moist...the bacon bits added another layer of flavor and the jalapeño gave it a nice kick, however, the pork rinds and pimento cheese stole the show. The rinds were light and fluffy with just the right amount of crunch and the pimento cheese was superb...very flavorful with nice chunks of pimento and grated cheese. My father was diving in on the cheese so fast it was tough to get some. His lady friend also commented on how good it was. Next came the mains. My father settled in the American Waygu Burger with hand cut fries, I went for the lamb rack with string beans and roasted fingerling potatoes and the lady went for the Arugula salad with candied pecans, Granny Smith apples , goat cheese and craisins. My lamb was excellent...medium rare with a nice flavorful crust with a hint of garlic and herbs. The potatoes were well roasted and tasty while the string beans were cooked correctly but a tad bland. The arugula salad was delicious with a nice citrus dressing that played well with the candied pecans and craisins...the smith apples was a nice contrast. My father in the other hand, ate way too much pimento cheese and rinds and as a result just picked in his fries, which were excellent...salted well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. He ended up taking the burger home. Amazingly, when dessert was brought up he was all in. Although known for their "Butter Cake" we decided to share(and by share I mean my father had about 90% of it) the Triple Layer Chocolate Cake. Turns out it's as good as it sounds...intense chocolate flavor in a very moist cake with vanilla ice cream and homemade whipped cream on the side...top notch. Sadly, it was getting late and my father had an early plane to catch so we got the bill(more reasonable than I expected), tipped the excellent waitress and said our good nights. We made plans to come back in September...although I'll be back well before that...Bar 19 Twelve will be going on my rotation.

The outside is great for families or for a date night. They have a section where they have an outside bar so you can be by the water.

We had the steak with a side order of shrimp, had the Big chill burger with an extra side the Hawaiian pasta salad and the Big Chill Island salad with chicken. Service was good. The apps were tasty and if you like spicy hot it was good. The steak and shrimp was good and flavorful, the burger was good but not the pasta salad. It was not good, that even my daughter didn't like it. As for my Big Chill Island salad was also a disappointment. Not sure what it was but the flavors just didn't go well together.

My father, a friend and I went last night as our friend was leaving town the next day and we wanted to have a special send off. 21 Main did not disappoint. The experience begins as you pull up in the circular drive and are greeted my friendly and helpful valets. You then proceed to walk through the wooden doors to a modern and expensive steakhouse which also features excellent sushi. You were then seated at your reserve table, given menus and introduced to your waiter. The waiter we had last night Adam, I've had before and is excellent. We ordered drinks from the extensive cocktail and wine menu and then begin to peruse the menu. There were no specials this evening, which made ordering less tempting, but a bit easier. our drinks arrived, followed by hot fresh baked sourdough bread, and we begin ordering our appetizers in main course. We settled on the crab cocktail and the shrimp cocktail for appetizers. My father went with a lobster bisque and then we ordered our mains. I went for the 12 ounce prime fillet mignon with an au poivre sauce the side of sautéed mushrooms and cream spinach. My father not eating his hearty as he used to what for a portion of chicken tenders and some mashed potatoes while our friend went for their signature prime, 30 day aged, bone-in 20 ounce ribeye. Then we sat back they enjoyed the atmosphere. The tables were set up airy, yet formal with plenty of room. The middle of the restaurant is a sushi bar area and behind that is the regular bar. Both modern yeah tastefully done. After some small talk, our appetizers came out and my father's lobster bisque soup. The lump crab meat was fresh and flavorful of serve with a nice Housemade cocktail sauce. The same goes for the shrimp cocktail, which were fairly large, serve with a wedge of lemon and two choices of sauces. I went for the traditional cocktail sauce, which was excellent. My father loved his lobster bisque, flavorful creamy and texture correctly. He finished the entire bowl. Our waiter now prepped for the main courses by removing all used plates and utensils from the table. He then brushed the table for crumbs to make sure the canvas was completely clean before the main event. Then the food was presented to the table by the food runners and the waiter , all done in an unobtrusive way. They use a cart to wheel out the food, which is very smart and then, of course it's used for presentation for certain dishes like the bone in rib-eye. Our waiter prepped the steak by removing the bone and slicing up the meat before putting it on the plate for presentation. It is something that is often missed in today's world, but adds a very nice touch. The steaks were excellent, flavorful, juicy, seasoned perfectly and incredibly tender. They were cooked perfectly as ordered. The sides were fantastic. The Yukon gold mashed potatoes were creamy, the sautéed mushrooms were delicate but packed a lot of flavor and the spinach had a perfect amount of cheese and lots of Smokey taste from the bacon. Did I mention everything is made from scratch! After a meal like that, I was stuffed but my father saved room for his favorite part of the meal...dessert. He went with the chocolate sauce covered brownie and homemade ice cream combo. It must have not been a mistake as he ate the entire thing. You could see the chunks of candied pecans, and fresh strawberries on top of the brownie with homemade vanilla bean ice cream next to it. I did not even have a chance to put a spoon in there! We then ordered the check, which was not cheap but worth every penny. It will continue to be one of my "go to's" especially for special occasions.

We did not care much for the crunch roll. It is not that bad but for the price we expected better. Now into the good stuff. Seared wagnu is the best we ever had. The inside is not overcooked so you can still taste the freshness of the meat. Both filet and ribeye are cooked perfectly the way we want it. While the outside is crunchy, the inside is still pinky and juicy. The ribeye has more fat than we want but still it is both soft and crunchy at the same time. The drinks are also good. Sake tini is my favorite. Both dessert are excellent. Tiramisu and brulee are mouthwatering tasty. One thing I hate was that they charged us for the steak sauce.

My wife and I went to Southern, a gathering place for our anniversary dinner, and from the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make the evening special. I wish I could remember everyone's names because I would love to give each of them the recognition they deserve. They even left a handwritten Happy Anniversary card on our table. It was such a simple gesture, but it said a lot about the level of care they put into the experience. Our waiter was exceptional--professional, attentive and genuinely personable without ever hovering or becoming intrusive. He had a great personality, knew how to make us feel welcome, and played a huge part in making the evening memorable. And then there was the food. I've been fortunate enough to eat at a lot of really outstanding restaurants, including some in larger cities where you expect an exceptional dining experience. Southern absolutely holds its own. The quality of the food, the presentation, the service and the attention to detail were all exceptional. Everything felt intentional. It wasn't simply a great meal; it was a complete dining experience. I also remember initially being a little surprised that there was a deposit associated with the reservation, with the understanding that it wouldn't be refunded if you didn't cancel within the required window. After dining there, I completely understood why. This is an intimate restaurant with limited seating, and the level of food, preparation and service they provide requires them to make the most of every table. In fact, that's probably the best way I can describe Southern: it feels like a restaurant where every seat matters. This wasn't just a great anniversary dinner. It was one of those evenings where you leave thinking, that was special. Southern has earned a place on our short list of restaurants we will save for special occasions--and honestly, I can't wait to go back. If you're anywhere near Southport and appreciate outstanding food, genuine hospitality and a dining experience that feels personal rather than mass-produced, put this place on your list. Just don't blame me when you have trouble getting a reservation.
