From Oyster Deals to Local Drafts, These Market Common Favorites Know How to Do Happy Hour Right
If you’re looking to stretch your dollar and your buzz in Myrtle Beach, there’s no better destination than The Market Common. This stylish shopping and dining district knows how to shake up a cocktail and keep things fresh with some of the area’s best happy hour deals. Whether you’re in the mood for crispy wings and local drafts or oysters by the dozen, we found the seven spots doing it right, and doing it daily. Here’s where to go when that clock hits happy.
King Street Grille
King Street Grille is what happens when a sports bar grows up, goes to culinary school, and adopts a dog. (Yes, the patio is pet-friendly.) Inside, TVs blanket every wall, perfect for game-day fanatics. Outside, a chill patio and scratch-made menu pull in regulars. Happy hour means $1 off most drinks, including cocktails, house liquors, and drafts and a rotating lineup of bar bites like nachos and sliders. Bonus: Buckets of wings and beer are basically tradition on game days.
1229 Shine
If you believe in love at first slurp, make your way to 1229 Shine. This coastal-chic seafood haven knows its way around an oyster, offering $1/$2/$3 oysters depending on the type (house, Blue Point, or chef’s choice). They also throw in grilled garlic butter oysters and the ever-fancy Oyster Rockefeller. With live music and a vibe that’s more “breezy cocktail” than “beer pong,” it’s date-night gold for seafood lovers.
Location:
Tidal Creek Brewhouse
Craft beer fans, this one’s for you. Tidal Creek Brewhouse is equal parts community space and brewery.

And yes, they’ve got pretzels. This is the kind of place where you come for one beer, end up staying for goat yoga and a trivia night.

Travinia Italia Kitchen & Wine Bar
Need a martini with your meatballs? Travinia brings a little vino and a lot of Italian comfort to the table. Their happy hour includes half-price martinis, $1 off house liquors, $5-$7 wines by the glass, and small plates perfect for nibbling.

Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant
This isn’t your average brewery, it’s the kind that brews on-site, serves German-style lagers, and throws in a $2 pint night every Tuesday. Gordon Biersch is known for its house-made beers and hearty apps, like Bavarian pretzels and chicken schnitzel sliders. Happy hour pours include discounts on drafts, house wines, and martinis, along with discounted starters. And yes, the vibe is as welcoming to kids as it is to beer snobs.

Dirty Don's Oyster Bar & Grill
Part oyster shack, part local hangout, Dirty Don’s is where you go when you want to roll up your sleeves and dive into seafood. Happy hour hooks you up with $0.50 shrimp and deals on crawdads, mussels, clams, wings—you name it. The drinks are discounted too, and the vibe? Think low-key Key West energy with a Myrtle Beach zip code. Bonus points for the trivia nights and fried lobster, which locals swear by.

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar
Southern hospitality hits its peak at Tupelo Honey, a cozy spot known for its responsibly sourced scratch-made eats.
