5 Best Raw Bars in Myrtle Beach
It’s not a trip to Myrtle Beach without some seafood, and a seafood staple that’s a requirement for many people while they’re here is oysters. We’ve compiled this list of some of the best raw bars in Myrtle Beach to help you find some delicious oysters to enjoy while you’re in town.
Noizy Oyster
101 South Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
You can’t beat these monsters from the waters of Appalachacola Bay, served up old school – on a bed of ice with drawn butter, crackers, cocktail sauce and a lime. Enjoy them as part of a Maryland-style steam kettle filled with crab legs, sausage, red potatoes and corn on the cob.
Bimini's Oyster Bar
930 Lake Arrowhead Rd., Myrtle Beach, SC 29572
Tucked away in a strip mall in the Arcadian Shores section of Myrtle Beach, Bimini’s may look like an unlikely place to find fresh oysters from the outside. But it’s what’s inside that counts, and Bimini’s doesn’t disappoint. The popular locals’ hangout specializes in steamed oysters, but try them fried Calabash-style too. Nothing goes better with a Sunday afternoon of NFL football than its all-you-can-eat oyster roasts.
Dirty Don's Oyster Bar
Multiple Locations - 408 21st Avenue North, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar & Grill has four locations along the Grand Strand, which includes the original in downtown Myrtle Beach, one right on the Boardwalk, one in Market Common, and one in North Myrtle Beach. This Key West-style oyster shack serves them up steamed by the dozens, including their famous weekend oyster roasts from 1 to 3 p.m.

Rockefeller's Raw Bar
3613 Highway 17 South, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
This North Myrtle Beach hot spot has some of the best seafood in town, but they are famous for their oysters. Grab a seat at the surfboard bar tables and load it up with dozens of melt-in-your mouth mollusks on the half shell. Check out happy hour when you can get them for $1 apiece.
Local’s tip: Ask for a cup of the restaurant’s diablo sauce for dipping. It’s a bit spicy so go ahead and order a cold beer at the same time.
Shuckers Raw Bar
1320 Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
The Original Shuckers on Third Avenue North in downtown Myrtle Beach has been serving some of the best raw oysters on the Grand Strand for over a quarter-century. They offer them on the half shell, and they’re only 95 cents apiece during happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. They air most major sports events (with the exception of Sunday NFL games since they’re closed Sundays), so if you need a place to watch the game while devouring some delicious seafood, they’ve got you covered.
