I am a regular here and LOVE this bar. I come a few times a week just to see my favorite bartenders. Jodi, Shaggy, and Richie are my favorite bartenders in the area. They always look out for me and treat me with such respect and kindness. I have never been to a bar where they remember you so well. I am so grateful to have come across this place! If you are in the area definitely pop in for a drink! read more

I am a local to MB for 20 years. This was my first time to Smugglers Den. I went to the bar and ordered a Chardonnay from Shaggy. No problem. A friend was there and invited me to sit in front of the stage and I-joined him.this place stays open until 12:00. I ordered another Chardonnay. My friend ordered my drink while I went to the bathroom. When I came to the table my drink was there. For some reason unbeknownst to me the bartender Jody who gave me my drink came back and also took my drink off of the table in front of me with no explanation. I hadn't even touched that glass. Please can you imagine my shock! What have I done? I felt really bad , what did I do to deserve this treatment from Jody? I will never come here again and I will definitely spread the word that this place does not like locals. read more

Under new owners and love the business now, I found no fault with new management, experience and food was awesome

Excellent place to watch sports. Great food and service. One of our local favorite places.

Friendly, relaxed, casual. Lovely little front porch. They have great music on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. Try the gigantic amazing pretzel with beer cheese or the pastrami reuben! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. I was in town with my wife visiting my mother in law. There are a ton of great places to eat around there. The menu at The Smugglers Den intrigued me. We were with my older church going mother in law. We walked into what was very much a bar. Knowing *most* bar food, I unfortunately lowed my expectations. I was wrong to do so. The chef there really knows what he is doing. Between the three of us, we had a chicken sandwich, a shrimp po' boy, and the all you can eat fish fry. Everything was fantastic. Like for real. You would expect smaller portions with an all you can eat fish fry, but this was a legit sized portion. It was cooked just right. Seasoned great. Same as the shrimp in the po' boy. Decent size shrimp. Cooked right with fantastic flavor. The chicken sandwich was fresh breaded, not a frozen chicken patty. I can completely recommend this place. I really hope that they make it. There is a lot of competition and the atmosphere doesn't exactly scream "great meal coming" but that is exactly what you get. Great meal, reasonable price with top notch service. This place is great. My mother-in-law plans on bringing all her church friends, and next time I am in town, I definitely visit The Smugglers Den read more

Tried this place because of the reviews and menus posted. I was looking forward to some British food. However!! Beware, new owners and new menu with just a few bar items on it. Not the same food at all but the bartender said some items will be back. The menu I posted is all the food served at this time. read more

Great food! Fantastic atmosphere vibe! Food is awesome! Able to watch four football games at once! Friendly staff! Highly recommend. Todd and his staff go out of their way to make us always feel welcome. read more

Food was very good. The service is what made for a great place. A nice lady named Jodie made the evening for us. We will be returning soon!! read more

It was one of my favorite places to visit until the new owners took over. Before you had a Roast beef spread for Sundays. It came with the boiled potatoes, asparagus and other vegetables. Now since it changed hands it now serves your basic fast food like chicken fingers. Hoping the new owners make a change back read more

Met our friends here late Friday afternoon and had no problem getting a seat. Food is homemade comfort type and very good I was surprised that by the time we left it wasn't busier. Check out their Happy Hour ! read more

* excellent smash burger* Im visiting from out of town for a wedding. This place was near the venue so I stopped in for beer and food. Ordered the smash burger and was blown away!

We went on a Fri night. The place was not crowded yet, but I had to use my phone light to read the menu. We ordered the prime rib and Stew in a bread bowl. Our drinks were a manhattan and IPA beer. Everthing was excellent until I got home. I found that I had gotten the wrong check, more expensive meals and 4 drinks. Figured the cost was $10 more than it should have been. Should have used my phone light to review the bill. Tried to call but no answer. read more

Cue the Etta James song "At Last." At last we have a proper pub. Not another "fish shack" or "bar and grill" or "seafood hut." A proper pub. That is, a big dark bar where you can belly up for pints of Guinness as you watch a little footy on the telly. A place to knock back some Scotch eggs and Yorkshire pudding and a pub burger so that you don't get too banjaxed or bollixed or bladdered or blotto. I can't tell you how happy I am that, after a dozen years of living in this town, we finally have a proper pub. Now I can go properly fulfill my genetic destiny as a red-nosed sot on the corner stool read more

Fantastic British pub. Excellent food. If you are a soccer fan, this is the best place to watch anywhere on the Grand Strand. Lots of TVs and all the subscriptions for soccer leagues around the world. read more

My husband and I recently discovered this hidden gem and we were pleasantly surprised! We love English pub food and this was excellent, as was the service. This restaurant has only been open for a couple months and is located conveniently where the Salt Water Grill used to be in Murrells Inlet. read more

Excellent food. Fish and chips and shepherds pie were excellent. The samosas and Smugglers Dip were great apps. We were way too full for dessert! read more

Baked beans tasted like they were from a can. Mashed potatoes were fine the gravy tasted like it was from a package. Over priced for what you get. Carrot cake was hard and over spiced. Complained to manager but she didn't remove it from my check. Service Charge! For what? Won't be back. read more

At best this place is 3 STARS! We went on a Friday night for the live music and dinner. The service was lackluster, but that wasn't; the main reason for the poor review. We got our drinks after 20+ minute after we ordered them, we then received our silverware only to discover one of the napkins wrapped around the silverware looked like it had been eaten by a mouse. The Pork Chops were very, very salty and to not include any apple sauce is like providing a burger with out condiments. At the end of our meal we tried to get boxes for the leftovers and the check but after 20 minuted our only option was to get up and find our waitress. BUT wait there's more! I had to chase her daw to pay the bill only to discover they have the balls to charge more for a CC without ever telling the customer. My response was shame on your boss for not telling us anywhere in the establishment. read more

NEW OWNER ALERT!! Food is amazing! Best service and best tasting burger I have ever had in a restaurant! Will be frequenting weekly!! Owner worked in Key West! He knows good food and good service! read more

First time back since new ownership. Great place. The new owner is hands on and "gets it". Food was good, beer cold and it's going to do well. If you were disappointed under the prior ownership, make sure you give it another chance. I consider myself a tough review (see others I've posted), but I'm now glad Smugglers Den is in our area. read more

Friendly neighborhood pub with excellent food and great live acoustic music on Fridays and Saturdays. The pretzel, the tacos, the Reuben and the Saturday night prime rib special are great. Families with kids, friendly bar patrons, a biker or two, and just that general mixed bag of friendly locals. Definitely worth your time. read more

Went tonight for dinner; Dinner and service was excellent. Had the Prime Rib, served with two sides and a salad,. Also ordered the draught Guiness which was great. read more

My wife and I went to the Smugglers Den for the first time and were very satisfied. Great place to watch premier league soccer. Food was delicious. I had the shepherds pie and my wife had the lamb kebab. Both excellent. The waitress Sarah is a gem herself. Great place to go to have a change of pace from the typical Myrtle Beach restaurant. Will definitely go back Love the decor in the building read more

I travel to the UK quite often for work and when I say this is the best British food this side of the Atlantic-I mean it. The house soup that came with my meal was to die for and the spice from the chicken tikka masala burned so good in the best way. The owner and server were super nice and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend-come here. Eat all the food. You won't be disappointed. I didn't get a pic of my food because I ate it too fast-sorry not sorry. read more

I am a big fan of British pubs and cultural food which is hard to find in this area. This restaurant exceeded my expectations. I had a Scottish egg and Steak Ale Pie which were excellent! My wife enjoyed Yorkshire pudding and a Greek salad that was large and fresh. Our cocktails were well made and service was wonderful. Starting a new business at this time has to be difficult and I will be back soon. read more

Food was delicious, batter on the cod was light and not greasy, chips were good fresh and hot! Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to watch some Sunday soccer with a Guinness read more

Great Restaurant! My husband & I just returned from Smuggler's Den in Murrells Inlet and we had a wonderful experience. The service was terrific and the food was delicious. The salads were very fresh and the dressings homemade We both had the steak & ale pie that was so tasty. As an added plus, the bartender actually put vodka in our drinks unlike the watered down garbage that many other establishments are using. We will be back!! read more

I have had two take always. First was perfect and delicious. Next one was not as good because they did not give me any dressing for the Greek salad. They said they would give It to me if I drove back to get it. It wasn't worth going back for just a bit of dressing. They did not ask me what kind of dressing I wanted when I placed the phone order. I assumed it would come with a dressing appropriate for Greek salad. Also ordered the steak pie. It was very delicious but for $20.00 I think it should have come with a side of some kind. The parking lot is not wheelchair accessible so I only get food to go Since I can't take my family. read more

Great place! Food is excellent, very authentic. Good portions. Service was wonderful, waitress knew what was included in menu items that we had questions about. She also was up front with what was on the menu that wasn't available. Extra plus, Bartender knows how to pour a proper Guinness. read more

So I finally got to go into this establishment. I ordered a drink which was good and ordered an appetizer Yorkshire Pudding I should of taken a picture it was two Popovers and 5 pieces of miniscule beef (size of a dime with brown gravy). They should serve one Popover and really give some Beef. Paid $9.50 for bread. I always order an appetizer in a new place and that will determine if I will go back. Very disappointed will not be going back. Checked out the prices on the entrees, very high. And if it's anything like the appetizer, not expecting much. read more

I have mixed feelings about our experience here. Food was good. Fish & Chips, Liver & Onions, Shepherd's Pie and the duck were all delicious. The Scotch Egg appetizer was good. We also had the Smuggler's Dip. When we asked for more bread for the dip we were told it would be an extra $2.99. Two of our dinners were supposed to have included a salad which never came. When it came time to pay the check we were told there would be a service fee to pay by credit card. The check for two of us with tip was $85. Felt a little nickeled and dimed. Overall a bit pricey but good food. read more
