Best Biker Bars at Myrtle Beach Bike Week
Where to Drink During Myrtle Beach Bike Week
The bar scene during Myrtle Beach Bike Week is one of the rally's defining features. From massive outdoor entertainment complexes to no-frills dive bars that have been serving bikers for decades, the Grand Strand has something for every taste. Here are the venues that consistently deliver the best experience during rally week.
Suck Bang Blow — Murrells Inlet
There is no more iconic venue at the Myrtle Beach Spring Bike Rally than Suck Bang Blow. Located in Murrells Inlet, about 10 miles south of the main rally area, SBB (as regulars call it) is a sprawling outdoor complex with multiple stages, a massive parking area, and a capacity that seems to expand to accommodate however many people show up. The name refers to the four-stroke engine cycle — intake, compression, combustion, exhaust — and the venue has been living up to its reputation since it opened. Live music runs continuously during rally week, the beer is cold, and the crowd is exactly what you'd expect from the largest motorcycle rally on the East Coast. Get there early on weekends; the parking lot fills up fast.
The Beaver Bar — Myrtle Beach
The Beaver Bar on US-17 Business is the quintessential Myrtle Beach biker bar — unpretentious, loud, and exactly what you want after a long day on the road. The outdoor area fills up with bikes during rally week, the live bands lean toward classic rock and Southern rock, and the staff has been doing this long enough to keep the beer flowing even when the crowd is three deep at the bar. No frills, no attitude, just a good time.
Big T's Saloon — Myrtle Beach
Big T's has been a rally staple for years, known for its friendly atmosphere and the kind of cold beer that tastes better after a long ride. The bar is biker-owned and operated, which shows in the details — the staff actually knows motorcycles, the music selection leans toward what riders want to hear, and the vibe is welcoming to everyone from first-timers to veterans who've been coming since the rally was half its current size.
Pop's Place Bar & Grill — North Myrtle Beach
Pop's Place is the North Myrtle Beach anchor of the rally bar scene. Located away from the main Ocean Boulevard crowds, it draws a slightly more local crowd and has a reputation for some of the best food at any rally bar in the area. The outdoor stage hosts local and regional acts throughout the week, and the covered patio is a welcome refuge when the afternoon sun gets serious.
Dick's Last Resort — Broadway at the Beach
Dick's Last Resort at Broadway at the Beach is a different kind of rally experience — deliberately irreverent, intentionally rude, and consistently entertaining. The staff is trained to be obnoxious in the most good-natured way possible, the paper hat tradition is a rally rite of passage, and the food is actually quite good. It's not the place for a quiet drink, but it's an essential stop for anyone who wants the full Myrtle Beach rally experience.
