Ocean Annie’s Beach Bar

Ocean Annie’s is great for alcohol beachside. That’s honestly it. It’s really loud, both during the day and at night. I wouldn’t drive here, I would only come here if you could walk from wherever you were staying. It’s not fancy. Most people sit in swim attire or coverups. They have plastic chairs and tables on an old wooden deck right by the beach. There is only a very small portion that is covered, so if it’s raining, tough luck. There is no food so you will need to bring your own or run to Riverside Café for a takeout burger or sandwich. The band plays mostly classic rock covers. The liquor drinks are watered down and can run you up a sizeable tab if you keep coming for more. Frozen drinks are way too sweet. Beer options are limited. It’s the best for groups, just get a pitcher and relax. But I definitely would not make a long journey just to come here.

Very nice, right on the beach, convenient, all day parking, swimming pool and good service. Food available next door at River City Café.

I’ve heard about Ocean Annie’s for several years, but we never ventured there. We never ventured to the «in between zone» of North Myrtle and Myrtle. This year, we made a special trip. We went on a Monday night. You have to walk through the pool area of the hotel to get there. Parking is $ 2.50 for 2 hours (I think). The drink menu was exactly what I like. Tropical drinks! Yum! I had a Miami Vice (frozen) and then a few Cherry Limeades. They were on the smaller side (small, clear plastic cups). My husband had a few beers (draft only-​again small, clear plastic cups). The band was good, and by dark the place was packed. Definitely ocean front and an AMAZING view. Oh yeah, Brock from Myrtle Manor works here, he was bartending and was super friendly. He even took a picture with me when I asked! The bill at the end of the night was expensive. When we go out for drinks, we usually have an appetizer too, but we had no food here and the bill was well over our regular. Think $ 60 for 4 drinks and 5 small draft beers. That’s our only negative, other than the price it was a fun experience.

Pitchers, beer, live music and it is beachfront. This is a great place to unwind and feel the breeze on your skin. They even have a casual worship service at 9am each Sunday on the deck. This place is a must see. You will love it and return often!

Can you say FUN!!! Yes, Ocean Annie’s is the fun spot of Shore Drive. When in Myrtle Beach, be sure to drop by for a drink and music! The live band will get your day or night off to a great start. Always welcoming and right on the !

DON’T DO IT. Giving 2 stars because I’m not a complete jerk and this is from a one time experience. HOWEVER, being that this is a touristy area the first impression really matters.
I don’t mind dives. In fact, I enjoy them. However, this is just a hot mess. It is in a very run down hotel (seriously– the whole area looks like a hurricane hit a year earlier and they are still rebuilding. I’m from FL. This reference makes sense. BUT THERE WAS NO RECENT HURRICANE)
There is a tiki bar outside. Don’t mind having to walk through the bizarrely «rustic Italian» decorated lobby and the changing rooms. Walk past the extremely small and dirty lazy pool. You are finally there!
The service was horrible. They didn’t even acknowledge us when we walked in (not busy). But the reason for 2 stars? THERE WAS PUKE on a table. Someone had too many tropical drinks and lost it. I’m fairly certain this happens often in myrtle beach. The disturbing thing? We sat there for at least 25 min before anyone cleaned it up. It was very obvious that the waitresses thought it wasn’t their job and the bartender didn’t want to do it. Once they did clean it– they just threw a giant bucket of chemicals and water over it. They didn’t say anything to us or the other tables. No apology. It was almost like this is the norm. Thanks for the horrid smell, guys! They also left CHUNKS on the ground, «I guess the birds will get it».
Sigh. And no one asked if we wanted another drink. This place was just sad. Just because you are on the beach doesn’t mean you can give up on costumer service completely.

My husband & I walked down the beach from our condo after dinner one evening, & as other reviews stated beer choices are only 2, but people sure were drinking it :-)
They will make any of their «shooters» into a drink, & mine was quite tasty.
This evening the band was really good, a combo of 80’s rock, mixed with some country, & dance. They interacted with the crowd & people were having a great time, yet not out of hand.
This whole environment is great for chillin’- you can have a drink, listen to to some music by the ocean…
Its worth the stop if you are near this area. Cheers!

What a fun place to hang out! Always a good time. It’s definitely a place to visit in the afternoon
