"While returning to our hotel at Surfside from Pawleys Island, my mother and I stopped at this Elks Lodge. My mother signed in, and a nice gentleman let us in the lodge. After showing the bartender, her lodge membership card, the bartender was very courteous and quick with our orders. It was a nice visit overall. Enjoy!"

"My husband is a PER from out of state and currently live in Bluffton, SC. We were in Myrtle Beach on vacation. Stopped at the lodge in the afternoon, the few members that were there were friendly. Mary the bartender was really nice and told to come back for karaoke. We did and she was the only person that spoke to us. Disappointed that the ER never even approached us."
