Read this post to get ahead of the curve for a good time on the waterfront.
And who wouldn’t want to do that? Myrtle Beach visitors often venture out for a good time, whether they’re here to relax or find adventure. Drink and appetizer specials are a great way to find it.
It’s easy to argue that every hour is happy hour on the waterfront.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Happy Hour
It’s often more than an hour, of course. And that’s a good thing. Here are things to keep in mind.
- Tip well
Tip as well as you can. With discounted drinks and food, dropping at least 25% for your server is a good turn.
- Make friends
It’s not called grumpy hour. Whether the conversation is light or full-on philosophical, enjoy the time.
- Skip sugary drinks
Give a specialty drink a shot, but don’t make it your go-to. More than one can leave you tired, puffy, and hungover.
