Island Institution

The Crow Bar

Coligny Beach · $

The original Hilton Head beach bar. Cold beer, frozen drinks, live music on weekends, and a crowd that ranges from sunburned tourists to year-round locals. No pretension, just good times steps from the sand.

Best Views

Harbour Town Rooftop

Harbour Town · $$$

Perched above Harbour Town Marina with sweeping views of the lighthouse and Calibogue Sound. Craft cocktails, a curated wine list, and small plates make this the island's most scenic spot for sundowners.

Lowcountry Spirits

Mid-Island · $$

A serious cocktail program in a relaxed setting. The bartenders here know their stuff — house-infused spirits, seasonal syrups, and a menu that changes monthly. The best old fashioned on the island, full stop.
