Where to Indulge

Kingston Resorts makes it easy to sip, savor, and relax with dedicated spots across the property. Each venue has its own personality, giving you multiple ways to enjoy your vacation from sunrise to sunset.

Black Drum

Kingston Resorts’ signature restaurant is a great spot for beer and cocktail enthusiasts. With 40 rotating taps of Carolina-born and brewed craft beer, Black Drum invites you to taste local flavors one pint at a time. Their cocktail list is equally impressive, featuring creative blends that lean into tropical flavors and Southern twists. Whether you’re sipping a flight of IPAs, raising a glass of crisp lager, or enjoying a house cocktail with views of the Myrtle Beach ocean, this spot makes beverages the centerpiece of your visit.

Amalfi

Beyond its coastal-Italian-inspired menu, Amalfi shines with its delicious wine offerings. In particular, their new 30 for $30 list consists of reds, whites, and rosés that are carefully selected to pair with fresh seafood and pastas. The setting, with floor‑to‑ceiling ocean views, makes every pour feel like an occasion. And as a new addition, Amalfi is now offering a 30 for $30 list of spectacular wines

Wet Whistle

Located just steps from the sand, Wet Whistle is where beverages come with sunshine and ocean breezes. From your choice of signature frozen cocktails, beach‑ready mixed drinks, and crisp beers to satisfy your palate, Wet Whistle is the ideal place to grab something refreshing between dips in the ocean or pool. Recent renovations have been made to allow for the bar to be open year-round. Make sure to try one of their famous “bucket list” drinks!

Coastal Grill & Bar

This casual restaurant offers a relaxed place to enjoy refreshing cocktails, a cold beer, or a glass of wine with your meal. Evenings are especially inviting here, when the full bar comes alive with guests winding down from a day at the beach. Coastal’s seasonal cocktails and extensive list of wines make it the perfect place for a vacation outing. While you’re in the area, head to the Embassy Suites Hotel evening Reception for your two complimentary drinks and snacks!

The Hideaway 

Who doesn’t love a good mobile bar? The Hideaway, a seasonal bar open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, keeps the fun flowing all summer long with frozen cocktails, canned beers, and quick refreshers you can take back to relax by the pool with. It’s casual, and most importantly, all about convenience, ensuring you never have to pause the vacation vibe to enjoy a great drink.

Intermission and The Shores Marketplace

Your favorite destinations for caffeine-lovers, Intermission (Embassy Suites lobby) and The Shores Marketplace (Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort lobby), are all about energizing drinks. From cups of Lavazza coffee and frothy cappuccinos to iced lattes and cold brews, these grab-and-go cafes are sure to be your best friend during your vacation. Pair your beverage with a pastry for a quick pick‑me‑up before heading out to the pool or beach for the day.

Veranda Bar

Perched on the mezzanine of the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort, Veranda Bar offers a chic yet laid-back setting where ocean views blend seamlessly with lobby lounge vibes. As the sun dips, it’s the ideal spot to socialize before a night out, unwind with a well-crafted cocktail in hand, or raise a glass to toast with your group.

Private & In‑Room Dining

Sometimes the best drinks are the ones enjoyed in the comfort of your own space. Kingston Resorts makes it easy with private dining rooms and in‑room service, so you can have your favorite cocktails, wine, or beer delivered right to the convenience of your room.

With so many spots to choose from, you can easily taste your way through the property, experiencing different atmospheres, flavors, and moments as the day unfolds.

Morning: Coffee with a View

Start your day at The Shores Marketplace (Hilton) or Intermission (Embassy Suites) with a handcrafted Lavazza cappuccino. Pair it with a warm pastry and take it down to a quiet spot by the ocean, because nothing pairs with the morning breeze like that first sip of caffeine.

Midday: Local Flavors Over Lunch

Make your way over to Black Drum, where you’ll be welcomed by 40 rotating taps to choose from. Try a flight of born-and-brewed Carolina craft beers or opt for a lager to pair with wood-fired pizza or fresh seafood. The beer lovers will definitely want to linger here, but the creative cocktails are equally worth a try.

Afternoon: Beachside Cool Down

Just steps from the sand, Wet Whistle is the ultimate spot for a signature frozen beverage or one of their famous “bucket list” cocktails. Sip slowly as you drift between dips in the ocean and sunbathing on the beach.

Evening: Toast to the Ocean

As the sun sets, settle into Veranda Bar with a well-crafted cocktail, glass of wine, or bubbly champagne. The relaxed, elegant setting makes it the perfect place to reflect on your day or warm up for an evening out.

Late Evening: Dinner and Personal Delivery

Close out your perfect day at Amalfi or Coastal Grill & Bar, where the wine list shines and seasonal cocktails pair beautifully with dinner. Afterward, retreat to your suite where you can order and unwind with In‑Room Dining. Sometimes, the best way to end a special day is with your favorite drink in the comfort of your own retreat.
