Moonshine flights, waterfront beers, live music and serious Nashville energy are officially headed to Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach is officially getting a little more Nashville energy this summer. Ole Smoky Distillery & Yee-Haw Brewing Co. opens May 20th at Broadway at the Beach, bringing moonshine tastings, waterfront beers, live music and one very large excuse to stay out longer than planned.
Broadway at the Beach Just Got a Major Upgrade
Ole Smoky Distillery & Yee-Haw Brewing Co. might end up being one of the biggest nightlife additions Myrtle Beach has seen in years. The massive waterfront venue combines a full distillery, brewery, restaurant and live music space all into one giant indoor-outdoor hangout. Basically, if Nashville and a beach town had a very social baby, this would probably be it.
Expect Moonshine Flights, Frozen Cocktails and Zero Subtlety
Ole Smoky built its reputation on flavored moonshine and vacation-style drinks that somehow go down a little too easily. The Myrtle Beach location is expected to serve tasting flights, whiskey cocktails and flavors like Apple Pie, Blackberry, Peach and Banana Pudding Cream. They also distill and bottle moonshine in-house, including their famous Blue Lightning moonshine, which is known for being one of Ole Smoky’s strongest and most recognizable flavors. This is not quiet bourbon-bar energy—it’s loud, fun and designed for group photos you’ll probably revisit with mild embarrassment later.
Football Weekends Might Officially Move Here
On the brewery side, Yee-Haw is bringing oversized bars, craft beers and a huge sports-viewing setup that feels tailor-made for Myrtle Beach weekends. Expect easy-drinking lagers, seasonal brews and giant TVs surrounded by people who said they were only stopping in for one beer. The whole concept feels built for golf trips, happy hours and afternoons that accidentally turn into late nights.
The Outdoor Space Might Steal The Show
The venue’s lakefront setup may honestly be what pushes this place into “everybody wants to go there” territory. Plans include huge patios, beer garden seating, live music areas and indoor-outdoor spaces designed for lingering way longer than intended. Add sunset views, string lights and live acoustic music, and suddenly Broadway at the Beach feels a little more Nashville in the best possible way.
This Isn’t Your Typical Broadway Bar
Broadway already has plenty of places to grab drinks, but this feels more like a full entertainment destination than a typical nightlife spot. Less spring-break chaos, more polished social energy. And honestly, Myrtle Beach has been moving in this direction for a while—more breweries, more live music and more experience-focused hangouts where people actually want to stay for hours instead of bar-hop after 20 minutes.
Between the waterfront setting, giant patios, live music and moonshine-fueled vacation energy, this place checks almost every box for a Myrtle Beach summer night. And judging by the hype already building around it, the Grand Strand is more than ready for it.
