A Beer & Beef Co. — Since 1920

A Broadway Street original.

Tucked into downtown Myrtle Beach, The Tavrne has been the block’s watering hole for over a century — low lights, a long wood bar, every game on, and the kind of bartenders who know your drink before you sit down.

It’s a proper dive: unpretentious, welcoming, and cheaper than it has any right to be. But the secret has always been the kitchen. From bar-grub classics to Mama’s home-cooked plate specials off the board, folks drive in from Conway just for a plate.

Where everybody knows your name.
