Hot Fish Club vs Drunken Jacks

I saw a post on here were someone%26#39;s favorite place was Hot Fish Club! Our favorite place is Drunken Jacks and I was wondering about Hot Fish Club!





What type place is Hot Fish Club? Does it compare to Drunken Jacks. WE have two small children and is it more upscale than Drunken Jacks?





I%26#39;ve been to the website, but wanted a personal opinion!





Exactly were is it located compared to Drunken Jacks?





Thanks



Hot Fish Club vs Drunken Jacks


I really like both of those restaurants, but probably prefer Hot Fish. I enjoy the option of eating inside the restaurant, on the screen porch or out in the Gazebo. I wouldnt say that its more ';upscale'; that Drunken Jacks, but I do think the food is presented that way (does that make any sense??) I think the menu at Hot Fish is just a bit more creative too.





Guess I%26#39;ve seen families with small children enjoy both places, but one thing the Hot Fish diffinately has over Drunken Jacks is the Gazebo area, with the live music and the tire swing! Just like being at a friends house on the inlet!

Hot Fish Club vs Drunken Jacks


I completely agree with everything MBC said. Both restaurants are wonderful but I also like the environment (especially the gazebo area) at Hot Fish Club more. Great food at both though! Enjoy!




Just back from Myrtle beach. where is the Hot fish club????



I thought it was at Murrels inlet and we walked up and down the boardwalk and did not see it. We ate at Drunken Jacks and did enjoy it.




Hot Fish is just about as far south as you can go in Murrells Inlet, and still be in Murrells Inlet...they are NOT connected (yet) to the marshwalk....Not sure if you saw Nances, but they are just a few places down from there....be sure to put it on your must tries for you next trip!







:)




ok will do that. when we were leaving Murrels we drove south just a short distance and then thought we had it wrong and it was not in this area at all. Guess we did not go far enough. Will just HAVE TO go back. :-)

Pelican's Watch Condo & things to do

Will be staying at a condo at Pelican%26#39;s Watch , 9570 Shore Dr., Myrtle Beach. Have 3 children ages 3,5,7 yrs. Are there things to do within walking distance %26amp; places to eat, or must we drive to anything we want to do.





Also, any good, inexpensive places to eat near the Pelican%26#39;t Watch?



Pelican's Watch Condo %26amp; things to do


There are a few little shops not too far from Pelicans Watch in what they call the Straw Market...I think there is still a place to get ice cream there too.....of course if you head to the south from the condo you have River City Cafe and Ocean Annies...there is also an Ultimate California Pizza in the Sands, and just up Lake Arrowhead Road is Finn McCools...decent food, cold beers.





:)



Pelican's Watch Condo %26amp; things to do


Thanks MBC.





Are there fire works every evening? How about bands on the beach? or any entertainment on the beach. Or is that further South at Myrtle beach?






Even tho%26#39; personal fireworks are illegal along the beach, you do see a number of private shows....as for public displays, nothing along the beach front in that area....Myrtle Beach does do fireworks on Wednesdays at 2nd Ave Pier, and you can probably see them from the beach there...Barefoot Landing which isnt far from there does their display on Mondays (and I think they just added Thursdays ?), and I know from the beach at 67th Ave N in MB we can see that display...





Ocean Annies, which is on the beach just south of Pelicans Watch usually has live music....not sure of any other live music in that area...along the beachfront anyway.





Have a great time!

Beach bar in MB?

Can anyone recommend a fun beach front bar in MB? I%26#39;m not looking for a night/dance club. Just looking for a bar on the beach to have a few drinks and feel the ocean breeze. (some live music wouldn%26#39;t be bad either). Any suggestions?



Beach bar in MB?


1. Bummz: just north of the Pavilion on the strip



2. Latitude 22: next to Surfside pier



3. Garden City Pier



Beach bar in MB?


Ditto on Bummz...one of my favs, decent food, cold drinks, good music...and its like being at someones house!





Another is a great locals hangout, with live music on Wed and Sun...called St Clements....Luke and his staff are great! They are located at the Caravelle about 73rd ave N.





:)




Bummz is #1!




If in NMB.....Harold%26#39;s On The Ocean in Cherry Grove




Another vote for Bummz! Enjoy!




Thanks guys!!





MBConcierge - I will be staying near 10th Ave. South. How far away is Bummz from there? Within walking distance?




briezer,



Bummz is located at 20 Ave N...and you are more to the south end at 10th Ave S...it is walkable, but you may need a few beers by the time you get there! lol If I were you, I%26#39;d catch the bus, it goes right down Ocean Blvd and will stop right in front of Bummz....you could wak up the beach, would probably be about 4 miles, and catch the%26#39;bus back! Enjoy! It is a great place! I LOVE the blackened grouper salad there! YUM! And the Ribs!





:)




Ocean Annie%26#39;s at the Sands!




Hi, could you tell me where is Bummz is located from The Hampton Inn Oceanfront??? Is this some where you could eat with children and then they play on the beach after?




Tues/June 27th stopped at Bummz at 3pm for the first time for a quick lunch before heading to the ariport and home.Sat outside and enjoyed the beachfront view. very casual. had the grilled grouper salad,the grouper was delicious.My husband had the grouper fingers and the new england clam chowder. both good.



When do they have music? Both thought it would be nice there at night with the tiki torches lit and music playing. will just have to go back.


  • blackheads
  • Spring Maid Beach

    We are staying here the middle of April.





    I have three children, ages 6, 11 and 16.





    Can anyone tell me of any close attractions to this resort as of course, I do not know the area?





    Thanks.



    Spring Maid Beach


    You have Downwind Sails just north of the Springmaid --- see David to go parasailing, banana boat, rent a hobie or a jet ski (they give lessons for the hobie too!)...you can rent a fishing pole and fish off the pier too. Or a surf board, take a lesson and go surfing (Surf City offers lessons and board rental).





    The Chapin Art Museum is right across the street -- really a neat museum, call ahead, they sometimes have excellent kids programs.





    Midway Par 3 is within walking distance --- nice par 3 golf course and driving range, Jurassic mini golf just on the other side of the par 3.





    Catch the trolley (runs until midnight) to the Pavilion area or over to Broadway at the Beach (www.broadwayatthebeach.com).





    Check out a great map at



    www.golymo.com (click map/schedule)



    or local tourist info at



    www.strandmagazine.com





    Hope all this helps! Have fun! :)



    Spring Maid Beach


    Hello! I dont know if you are going to be checking this but can you tell me what the Spring Maid Beach Resort was like. I am looking for a hotel. Thank you!




    Thanks MBC......the Coast buses look like a great way to save me some hassle getting around, just sit back and let someone else do the driving. Especially back and forth to Broadway and the Pavilion area, no need to hunt for parking!! Love it!




    EXACTLY! And its sad that more people dont utilize this service! I know that the buses arent as timely as they should be...and hopefully as more people use this service, that will be rectified.

    what are they doing at the Caribbean resort and villa's?

    Does anyone know what exactly they are renovating at this hotel and villas. Are they redoing the whole hotel, or just minor cosmetic updating? Are they also redoing or fixing up the chealsa house villas? When will they be done? Anyone been there lately? We stayed 2 yrs ago and enjoyed it, hoping to be back summer %26#39;07 any info would help, thanks!



    what are they doing at the Caribbean resort and villa's?


    Hi.





    They are not touching the villa%26#39;s across the street, however, it is a major remodel for the beach front property. They are tearing down the building that the office is in and rebuilding a much higher tower. They are also putting in a %26#39;water park%26#39; in the back. It should be awesome when it%26#39;s done. We are staying somewhere else this year, but plan to be back next yr.





    The last I heard, construction should be complete March 2007.

    Trying to plan a long labor day weekend

    My boyfriend and I are trying to plan a long labor day weekend in MB and are having trouble choosing a hotel. We want something on the ';strip'; close to attractions and restaurants but still has nice accomodations. Hard to tell what are more ';family'; places or okay for young couples(we%26#39;re both 25). Any suggestions/guidance would me much appreciated! Thanks in advance!



    Trying to plan a long labor day weekend


    I would take a look at the Breakers Resort (Paradise Tower)....nice place, close to the downtown area, youre right on the strip...approx 10 blocks to the Pavilion...and you are right at the 21st Ave N Corridor area....a number of places to eat here, plus some late night spots too...and a Starbucks. Plus you have my fav beach bar right next door, Bummz!





    :)



    Trying to plan a long labor day weekend


    Thanks MBC! Great sugestions...looks wonderful!




    That%26#39;s where we are staying. It%26#39;s a nice place and you will like the area. It%26#39;s not on the crowded end of the strip but just a few blocks to walk and you are right there and there are some nice restaurants right there.





    There are kids at the hotel but it won%26#39;t feel like a ';family'; resort. Young couples I saw all over last year. They have a cute little bar area that has like karaoke /sp/ and drinks and all little type stuff.




    thanks for the help, this is definitely where we%26#39;ll stay!

    Happy Hour

    We%26#39;ve been going to Myrtle for about 10 years now and are still looking for a good Happy Hour. We used to go to Ocean Annie%26#39;s but that has sort of turned into Ocean Grannies. Anyone know of anything that hopping in the late afternoon when we bore of golf?



    Happy Hour


    Been in same boat for 25yrs. now. If we do find one, it%26#39;s gone the next yr. We%26#39;re going in July, if you find one, let me know. Did have one way up north, Santa Fe. Haven%26#39;t been there in yrs. though. Good Luck!



    Happy Hour


    Try Shuckers (there%26#39;s one at Broadway at the Beach and one on 9th Ave N on Business 17) or Boardwalk Bills Bar %26amp; Grill (off of Ocean Blvd. near the Pavilion right beside the Gay Dolphin. That one is oceanfront so you have a great view!




    In Myrtle - Try the Dog House or Murphy%26#39;s Law. Both are on Hwy 17, between 3rd Ave South and 8th Ave South.





    In North Myrtle - there%26#39;s no better Happy Hour than Duffy Street Seafood Shack on Main Street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




    Guess I%26#39;ll throw a few of my favs into the mix.....got to throw Liberty Tap Room and Grille at 77th Ave N and Kings into the mix, great local crowd, micro-brewed beers, great appetizers...





    Bummz @ 20th Ave N and Ocean Blvd....how can you not be happy sitting looking at the Ocean!
