    Cadillac margarita with Grand Marnier floater... very tasty and tart. Bud Light icy cold.
    Theresa H.

    An oasis on the beach. No happy hour per se, but $11 frozen drinks are generous and the bartender gives a heavily pour... $5 extra will get you a floater... my margarita was a Cadillac with a Grand Marnier floater (frozen drinks come in 2 cups) Tried the chili cheese fries as a shareable appetizer, and it was remarkable even without the jalapeños.

    Stopped by for a cold beverage on a week night in October and was surprised to see how crowded it was! Always a good sign. Ordered the Lava Flow and drank it in record speed because it was so good! Wish I had time to go back before I had to leave

    Annual visit to pool bar Jim's for some smoothies and beach vibes. Fast and friendly service for some freshly made beach drinks. Hilton head staple that can't be beat

    I dropped by PBJ's after reading an article in a travel publication. Its located at the bottom of the Seacrest resort. This is a true dive bar poolside at a resort on the beach. Its cool how they have patches from around the globe (I believe), from military, law enforcement, fire departments, et al. My late father was in the Navy, so I was happy to see patches for the aircraft carriers Coral Sea and Enterprise. I also saw license plates fr other states giving a shout out to HH. The bartenders are cool. The only downside is the bar closes @ 8 pm. This is more of a day and late afternoon place to hit in HH.

    If you are looking for a place to eat, this is not it. The menu is very small and limited because it's a poolside bar. The ambience is energetic being flanked by two pools on the ocean and the drinks are strong. Fun place for a drink!

    When you're at the beach, the majority of the time you don't need a top grade Manhattan or Old Fashioned to make you happy. You want to see the sand, hear the waves, feel the sun, and order up all the cheap drinks the bartender will send your way. Rum (cheap at that) and Coke, boozy slushies, and the occasional grouper sandwich or burger when you get hungry. Live music? Nope. Televisions with national sports playing? Nope. Updated decor to draw your attention? You know the answer. And you also don't care. You want to unwind wearing your flip flops, wet swimming trunks/bathing suit, and all. Maybe you'll doze off and get sunburnt on just your left side. Maybe you'll read a book that you paid .99 for at the local gas station. And maybe you'll contemplate the deep things of life and make a decision that changes your entire trajectory. But whatever you do while at Pool Bar Jim's, I know for sure you're going to leave there feeling really really good.

    It's little outdoor frozen drink place. Very chill vibes, many people are in their swim suits and flip flops. When we went, it was a little busy, and there were bees flying around the "bar" area. One of the bartenders said they were doing the day prior. Be mindful of this. There's a lot of fresh fruits and sweets and it bees love this! We sat away from the bar and didn't have issues though. The drinks tasted so good! And there was even a smaller extra cup with more because our bartender made a lot. I don't think I tasted the alcohol in mine- so be mindful of this. It tasted good more than anything.

    Menu & drinks.

    PBJs is an amazing place to relax & have some great food & drinks. The views are amazing as it's right on the ocean. There are plenty of seats & tables to choose from during off season. The grilled grouper sandwich is absolutely delicious & the drinks are fresh & wonderful.

    I really enjoyed Pool Bar Jim's! My only recommendation is that there should be an easier to find route for this bar. Going through the parking garage seemed a little uneasy and not ideal if you're coming from another nearby beach resort. I got the peanut butter cup drink and the bartenders were really kind in giving us the extra as a complimentary second drink. Views are great especially at sunset. Would recommend!

    Hilton Head's hidden gem.. literally! It took us 30 minutes of walking in circles around the condo complex it was in, but on Avocet Road there are signs that lead you to the pool bar. You have to walk through the parking garage and to the complex's pool... it is there I swear!! There were two bars, one on the lower deck and the other on the high deck, but when we got there at 7 pm (they close at 8 pm), the higher deck was done serving for the night, so we sat at the lower deck. Mark the bartender was awesome and even gave me the leftovers of my mudslide so I got a two-in-1 deal lol, most of the bartenders I know throw the extras away, so I was very happy with this. The mudslide was great! Just what I was craving after a long, hot day at the beach. Because we got there an hour before they closed, we weren't able to try another drink, but we will definitely be back!

    Another favorite is the Lava Flow!!  Notice the side car that comes with it!  Great Deal!!

    Hidden behind the Sandy dunes in Hilton Head is an Awesome Tiki Speakeasy! All the bar tenders are great, If you are lucky to get Jim he is the master of the Tiki Rum drinks! The wings, Hamburger wrap and the Garbage Dog hit the spot! The service is amazing!

    Great beach location to get a cold and/or frosty drink. Only take one star away because the prices are pretty high.

    Ask the Community - Pool Bar Jim's

    How much are the frozen drinks. Peanut butter cup and bahama mama?

    I think the peanut butter cup was around $15. There was more than would fit into the cup so I got close to 1 1/2 drinks. They seemed to make more than a cupful for everyone. It was like a dessert. So good but 1 was enough.

    Is it Dog friendly?

    Yes- Many people had their dogs with them. It's a big deck overlooking the ocean. Kids were there with their parents having smoothies.

    Is there happy hour?

    No...

When I asked they didn't say anything about reimbursing. This was the most expensive meal of the week at over $200 for a Jamaican chicken sandwich, bbq chicken sandwich, 2 orders of shrimp tacos, and 2 appetizers. Let's start the atmosphere was pretty nice. They had live music but not loud enough for the entire restaurant. Now to the food: I had the Jamaican Chicken sandwich and tater tots. It came out on a huge bun and I was thinking man this is going to be a huge sandwich. Nope. Over half the sandwich was nothing but bread. The chicken was like 1 chicken tenders size basically. Hey the tater tots were good. My daughters had the shrimp tacos. Comes with 2 tacos, they were very good My wife had the bbq chicken sandwich and tater tots. She said it was good but nothing special. The appetizer was shrimp cocktail which was good and the dip trio. Your basic bar food dip trip. We had a few drinks and they were average at best. We had to ask for a shot to go along with the daiquiri because we were pretty sure we got a virgin. Overall not a good experience and the $20 parking fee blew my mind, atleast reimburse or give a free appetizer to compensate. For tourist we don't necessarily know there is free parking elsewhere and the people didn't even mention it.

We got there and it is literally an outdoor bar and grill. The ocean air was blowing nicely and it felt good. We grabbed a menu from the cashier's area. Debi was super kind and she helped us get some lunch. We both ordered non-alcoholic smoothies - he got pins colada and I got mango, and he ordered a club sandwich with onion rings and I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with chips. We paid for our meal and sat at a table overlooking the pool area. It didn't take long for Debi to bring our food out to us. The portions were really large for a lunch, and the food tasted amazing. We got two ice cream cups from the freezer (creamy and refreshing) and some water to go. Debi asked us to come back, and we may get a chance to go back before we leave town. It's pricey - cost us almost $70.00 for two people - but the portions made it worth it.
