Bar 19 Twelve — Restaurant in North Myrtle Beach

Rating this place is difficult. As a cocktail bar (which it deems itself to be) I’d rate it a 2. For food I rate it a 5. Hence a 3 rating. For Myrtle Beach this is an “upscale” bar attempt. It tries but falls short. The building used to be a chapel. It’s small. Theres seating at the bar and restaurant tables crowding the space. Decor is mismatched and on the side of tacky rather than “upscale”. A few additional tables upstairs. Another outdoor bar and some tables in the rear on a golf course. This portion of the restaurant seems disjointed from the other. Casual atmosphere like you’re in someone’s backyard. There’s a stage with live music. Reggae when we were there. Nothing against reggae music but again, seemed out of place for the venue. Coming here we came to try the craft cocktails. Really disappointing. For the height of summer all their speciality cocktails were whiskey/bourbon based, not a lot of variation. When asked if they had another cocktail menu I was handed a single printer page of beverages made with flavored Smirnoff vodkas. Perfect for the I just turned 21 crowd but not what’s typical of a “craft cocktail”. The drinks we did have were ok at best and unfortunately watered down from ice melting significantly before receiving them. The food, on the other hand, what a surprise!!! I had a meatloaf sandwich to die for. One of the best Ive ever had. It had a thick bacon and tomato jam on a brioche bun. It...

Had a private party at this restaurant for the celebration of the holidays. Our group had the private room upstairs with two servers assigned to take care of our a rather large group. Of course everybody started out with drink service first, after the drinks were ordered they came out very quickly and were very good. The Mojito was absolutely phenomenal. After we sat down for dinner the server took our orders and absolutely everything looked fabulous on the menu. Personally I chose for the pesto chicken and pasta and it was very good. The portion was perfect in size and it was absolutely delicious. Although I did not personally have a dessert, some of the other attendees had a butter cake, and one person had a chocolate cake both of which looked very good. I am sure I will be returning when I have a larger appetite so that I can enjoy some of the desserts. Highly recommended for your private party as you are completely separated from the other patrons. The price was very reasonable for two people give me the quality of the food and...

The food is A M A Z I N G! Every dish in our party was absolutely delicious. Our party ordered lamb lollipops, crab cake sandwich, meatloaf sandwich. Great music, great drinks and the wait staff were excellent, quite attentive. Brittany and Rachel were a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants great food, great service, reasonably priced. I regret that I didn't take any photos of my meal to share on this post, but trust and believe, I will be back and I will post photos the next time around. One last point, the portion sizes are fantastic. One last, last thing, I definitely recommend the apple martini......8/19/21...I am back!!! The food gets even better! We decided to come back before our vacation comes to an end. The sea scallops, crab cake sandwich, Kobe burger, deviled eggs, meatloaf sandwich....awesome dishes! My party tried and sampled these and a few other dishes. Will make sure this is a permanent visit when we return for vacation! Highly, highly recommend. Added photos this...
