    Drink menu
    Kyle C.

    No food since all they have is chicken from Tochi's hot chicken. If you want booze in your drink and great music along the likes of Kanye West this is your place. Bartender was great. Just not my style and online menus were outdated and deceiving (ie WRONG) a lemon drop martini and old fashion cost us $42. Not worth it. Tin roof here we come. Not as advertised.

    Cocktail Menu
    Soneya S.

    So we're visiting and so many of our Uber drivers suggested this bar. They all said "it's a unique cocktail menu" and "food is made in front of you". We walked in Thursday evening and not many people at the bar which is okay... the food menu was very basic. We walked in thinking they would have more to offer. The cocktail menu was good, we had quite a few drinks. As we sat there, the ambiance changed into a club scene hahah! The music was good but the crowd was hit or miss. Lol. Food: 5/10 Onion Rings served with Kethup? Lol Cocktails: 10/10 Fresca 9/10 Cadillac Margarita Ambiance: 8/10 Server: Bruce 10/10 Overall it was a good place to end the evening!

    R&B Brunch Menu
    Shekeya G.

    I had a party of 6 and we arrived about 10 minutes before opening, but wasn't sat until 10-15 minutes past opening... we were the first to arrive. I'll start with the pros first: - Service: Our server Courtney was an absolute jewel she was very attentive, knowledgeable, and even cut a rug with us. - Music/DJ: The music really made the experience, the DJ kept the hits coming -Food: The Shrimp & grits was awesome & so was the Salmon & grits. Opportunities: - Updated menus: The menu was misleading; for example there's a traditional breakfast that comes with eggs, grits, toast, bacon or sausage. We was informed that they no longer serve those breakfast meats- so that wouldn't be a traditional breakfast! - Pricing: again with the menu, we were giving old menus with old prices & inventory. - They was still setting up the restaurant 10 minutes after opening... we sat down around 11:15. - Organization: not sure how long the R&B lunch has been hosted there, but it seemed very new... not a lot of order (bar, managers behind the bar, and kitchen staff). - Mimosa: Basic -Food: appetizer came out cold & was small for the price. Chicken & waffles was greasy from sitting.

    just wanted to share my experience at that brunch spot I recently tried. Honestly, it was one of the worst meals I've ever had. They had security at the door and inside, trying to make the place feel exclusive, but it didn't work at all. The grits were terrible, and the eggs and bacon were just gross. For a price point between $25 to $35, they served us plastic forks, which is completely unacceptable. The DJ music was way too loud--it felt more like a bar than a restaurant. They really need to stick to drinks and give up on the food altogether. I'll definitely never go back.

    Espresso Martini with cool Smoke Bubble!
    Danielle B.

    Drinks are awesome! Good music! Hot & Cool Bartenders! We stayed there all night! $2 Green tea shots! We had about 10 shots each lol Younger crowd from all the other places we went to in Myrtle, which was refreshing. Everywhere we went everyone was retired. Too bad I can't post the videos of the drinks here! I only have one pic but the drinks & shots came with cool smoke filled bubbles!

    A couple days before going to this restaurant we wanted to make sure they were open because we have walked by the restaurant many times on the way to the beach and they were closed. The hours on Facebook said they were open and they don't not have any hours posted on their windows or anything. Their phone was out of service so there was no way of contacting the restaurant. We arrived to the restaurant about 15 mins before opening 11:00 on a Sunday. When we got to the door we were told that they weren't opening until 11:30. On their Facebook page they have their hours posted opening at 11:00. Therefore we had about 45 mins to spare since they weren't opening on time. We arrived back to the restaurant again around 11:15, they did not open the doors until 11:40. It was very hot this morning as well. Finally we sat down at our table. After a few minutes of sitting we were greeted and asked what we wanted to drink but we still haven't gotten our menus yet because they were not there. Once we got our drinks we got our menus but had to share because they didn't have enough for everyone to have their own. The inside is has very dim lighting, the restaurant is like a club setting there was a DJ that played music. It was very hot, from what it looked like they had A/C on one side of the restaurant not sure if they worked because we weren't on that side they also keep the door open and it was very hot that day. Once we got our food I was expecting a little more than what we got since it was a nice price for chicken and waffles $22.99 we only received 3 wings and a waffle with a slice of strawberry and powered sugar. The drinks and music were good. The bathroom the floor was very wet in the stall had to be very careful when walking and for the soap there was no dispenser they had the gallon jug in the sink which is didn't look appropriate. Overall their time stamps aren't clear at all, the food was good just overpriced, the drinks were good and the music was a vibe. If you get a drink you get charged Hospitality 2%, Liquor Tax 6% and Service Charge 18%. We were told that the Service Charge was for the bar tenders but a couple of us from the group didn't get a drink but they were still charged with the 18%.

    Waffle and fried lobster tail
    Keyonia J.

    I was in Myrtle Beach for Jeep Jam. About 25 jeep club members came for Saturday Brunch. We arrived as soon as they opened, however they wasn't open lol a few minutes later someone pulled up to open up and we waited outside about 30 mins for them to officially open, it was chilly too. Once inside we all set down and ordered drinks and food. I had the fried wings, taste bad, the grease was old. No flavor, just taste greasy. Disappointed. I had already ordered my meal by time the appetizer came otherwise I wouldn't have order another fried item. I had the waffle and fried lobster tail. The lobster tail was delicious tho. The DJ finally arrived and then it was lit. We all had an amazing time and would definitely come again when I'm in town! @freaki.tiki.atl

    Blushing Whiskey Sour
    Kirk S.

    The setup in here is unique, I should know because I've watched 2 episodes of Bar Rescue. But seriously folks the drink menu is the best I've seen in what I would call the main center of myrtle beach. Have not tried the food yet but it looks do-able. Try for yourself. I've had the Blushing Whiskey Sour which gave me a buzz half way down .... This is coming from a self proclaimed whiskey connoisseur. Only giving 4 stars since I haven't tried the food yet.

    Ask the Community - The Chemist

    What time does it turn into a night club?

    The lab flips at 9 PM nightly — that's when the DJs start and it goes 21+. Before that it's craft cocktails and the kitchen (Golden Hour 4–9 PM), and weekends kick off with R&B Brunch 11 AM–5 PM. Pro tip: in before 10, skip the line.

    Heading down for vacation with my husband and 2 sons. We like our cocktails and good food. Can two well behaved children hang here with their parents for an early dinner?

    Yes, the place is small so make sure you get reservations. Food was excellent, drinks were too!

I honestly didn't take great pictures because we were too busy eating! It was a very busy day the day we were there bc of the Kentucky derby party but we were still seated quickly and our food came out fairly quickly. They take a lot of precautions when dealing with allergies and it was appreciated. They even identify that it is gluten free when they deliver the food as well. I can't wait to return and try the short rib macaroni and cheese. The ambiance is booths and tables around a bar. They also have a great outdoor space due kids to run around and play.

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.
