Dog-friendly restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area

Most restaurants don’t permit dogs indoors unless they’re a service animal, but there’s an abundance of restaurants in and around Myrtle Beach that welcome pups on their decks and patios. Before bringing your dog to a restaurant, cafe or brewery, make sure you can control your animal around people and other dogs that may be there.

Here are some dog-friendly patios and decks around the Grand Strand. This isn’t an exhaustive list, and websites like bringfido.com can help you narrow down your search if you’re looking for something specific.

Tidal Creek is a relatively new addition to the Market Common area of Myrtle Beach. With menu offerings made specifically for canines and a fenced-in area where dogs can play off-leash, this is a prime spot to bring your pet.

The Sneaky Beagle, 5040 Carolina Forest Boulevard in Myrtle Beach

Like many restaurants on the Grand Strand, the Sneaky Beagle offers happy hour and live music events. But it also has an entire menu for dogs, including a “pupcake” and a “doggy doughnut.”

8th Avenue Tiki Bar and Grill, 708 North Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach
