A world away from its trendy northern neighbor Myrtle Beach, Georgetown County South Carolina offers a lighter paced nightlife with that just-bustling-enough energy. From Murrells Inlet to Pawleys Island to historic downtown Georgetown, our region’s Lowcountry vibe delivers a light buzzy small-town energy with waterfront boardwalks for families and couples to stroll under the stars.
With Murrells Inlet restaurant row along the famous MarshWalk to the north and the historic waterfront of Georgetown to the south, travelers staying in Pawleys Island enjoy easy access to the area’s favorite nightlife destinations. Discover local hidden gems and live music tucked beneath moss-draped oaks and within vibrant havens where the nightlife at Pawleys Island caters to every age and occasion.
Nightlife the Lowcountry Way
Drop by the PIT (if you can find it) and claim your spot under the canopy of lighted trees for live blues and good times. Head to The Der, the local dive bar, and catch a game while enjoying pub grub and small-town lore. Get on the craft brew circuit by visiting Quigley’s Pint & Plate, Pawleys Tap House & Grill, and Southern Hops Brewing Company.
Venture to Murrells Inlet restaurant row on the MarshWalk where you can stroll along the tidal saltmarsh while awash in the colors of a southern coastal sunset. Head south to downtown Georgetown to mingle in the lounge and shoot pool at the Corner Tavern or chill out to live local music at Buzz’s Roost on the Harborwalk.
Jump into a round of Trivia at Quigley’s and at Teakwood’s Bar & Grill where you can also play corn hole, giant Jenga, or a round of pool. The Mah Jongg Connection hosts open plays, lessons, marathons, and tournaments in a cozy social setting. Purchase tickets ahead for the much-beloved Brookgreen Gardens: Nights of a Thousand Candles – a multi-week winter holiday tradition and family favorite.
