Kingston Resorts and Myrtle Beach offer plenty of fun in the sun. But when day fades to night, the coast lights up with live entertainment, bustling attractions, and late-night dining destinations. Whether you’re a night owl by nature or embracing every moment of vacation, this guide to after-dark activities ensures the fun doesn’t end when the daylight does.

Raise a Glass at Black Drum Brewing

Kick off your evening adventures at Black Drum Brewing’s happy hour,  available several days a week, from late afternoon to early evening. After a day of exploring, this lively spot is the perfect place to share a meal, whether you’re gathered around a fire pit in the outdoor beer garden or taking in ocean views from the seaside dining room.

Sample over 40 rotating taps of local craft brews and savor a selection of North and South Carolina classics, like fresh seafood dishes to house-smoked BBQ. On the weekend, stick around a little longer to enjoy Music on the Terrace, featuring live performances that bring an extra vibe to your night out.

Experience Broadway at the Beach

Broadway at the Beach—just a 20-minute drive from Kingston Resorts—is Myrtle Beach’s go-to destination for after-dark entertainment with something to suit every night owl’s style. Challenge your friends to a round at Topgolf, belt out your favorite tunes at a karaoke bar, or test your knowledge at a trivia night. Looking for classic fun? Visit Dave & Buster’s for a little friendly competition. If a laid-back evening is more your style, catch a show at Broadway Theater or experience the world-famous tribute performances at Legends in Concert.

Indulge in Late-Night Bites

Craving a casual dinner or late-night snack? You’ll find plenty of options at Kingston Resorts. Coastal Bar and Grill, serving bar bites until 11:00 pm, pairs Southern favorites, seafood entrées, and special seasonal cocktails with postcard-perfect ocean views. It’s an ideal spot to settle in for the night at the bar, refuel after a sun-soaked beach day, or treat the kids to a build-your-own brick oven pizza dinner—even if it means staying up past bedtime.

In the mood for something more upscale? Veranda Bar serves small plates made for sharing, craft cocktails, and late-night flatbread pizzas in a dining room that calls for dressing up—plus a live pianist every Friday and Saturday evening. For a laid-back coastal experience, head to Wet Whistle. This open-air bar blends unparalleled ocean scenery and salty breezes with frozen cocktails and light bites. You’re welcome to linger here under the stars until 1:00 am, weather permitting.

Must-See Music Venues

From laid-back lounges to lively stages, there’s no shortage of Myrtle Beach music venues to keep your night humming. Head to the House of Blues for an eclectic lineup of rock, blues, and tribute bands in a venue dedicated to celebrating community. For a high-energy mix of music, dance, and comedy, The Carolina Opry—housed in a stunning Grand Strand landmark—hosts an iconic variety show elevated by state-of-the-art sound and lighting. 

For a show-stopping experience, the Alabama Theatre delivers a dynamic blend of live music, comedy, and acrobatics. Renowned for its acclaimed variety shows, this venue also hosts celebrated guest artists, including Josh Turner, Brett Young, and legendary groups like The Temptations and the Four Tops.
