A Beer & Beef Co. — Since 1920

A Broadway Street original.

Tucked into downtown Myrtle Beach, The Tavrne has been the block’s watering hole for over a century — low lights, a long wood bar, every game on, and the kind of bartenders who know your drink before you sit down.

It’s a proper dive: unpretentious, welcoming, and cheaper than it has any right to be. But the secret has always been the kitchen. From bar-grub classics to a full-on island kitchen turning out oxtail and curry goat, folks drive in from Conway just for a plate.

Where everybody knows your name.

The Island Kitchen

Somewhere between the wings and the burgers, The Tavrne runs a full Jamaican kitchen — and it’s the reason regulars keep coming back. Slow-cooked oxtail, tender curry goat, jerk chicken pasta, and rice & peas that taste like the islands.

“A fantastic Jamaican spot downtown — every dish was incredibly tasty.”— Keith Rudolph, Google review
