Neat Bourbon Bar in Myrtle Beach Is the Coziest Spot for a Cocktail

📍 NEAT Bourbon Bar, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
🍷 Prisoner Wine Co. Tasting Event
🗓 When: November 2025
Best for: drinks with friends

If you’re looking for the coziest cocktail spot in Myrtle Beach, NEAT Bourbon Bar belongs at the top of your list. It’s intimate, warm, and the kind of place where the lighting makes everything — and everyone — look a little better. When Will hosted a Prisoner Wine Company tasting there, I tagged along to check out the vibe… and stayed long enough to decide Neat is officially one of my new favorite places for a night out.

Honestly, this is the kind of bar you could walk into on any evening and walk out with a great memory. I’ll definitely be back — whether it’s for another tasting, a winter cocktail, or a cozy catch-up with friends.

🍸 WHAT TO LOVE ABOUT NEAT BOURBON BAR

Here’s what makes Neat Bourbon Bar such a standout in Myrtle Beach.

Cozy seating

Think leather couches, comfortable armchairs, and a layout that feels equal parts stylish and low-key. It’s the kind of space that invites you to linger. I loved the Union Jack chairs!

A wall of bourbon

Neat’s selection is impressive — truly a bourbon lover’s dream. Yes, you can order a $250 sip of the famous Pappy Van Winkle… but the bartenders are happy to recommend excellent pours that won’t blow your budget.

The Maple Old Fashioned

If you need a cold-weather cocktail, this is it. Warm, syrupy, a little dessert-y — the Maple Old Fashioned is the perfect winter treat.

Prisoner Wine Company Wines to Try

The Prisoner Wine Company tasting was a hit, and Neat regularly hosts special events worth checking out.

Here are the wines we tasted that you can have it home! Some of these are available at Total Wine –

The Prisoner Red Blend is a little softer, fruit forward, low tannins and easy to drink, it’s a great wine to take to a party (Shop: The Prisoner Red Blend • $39.99)
Saldo Zinfandel is big, bold, and brash and pairs well with bold dishes like hamburgers (Shop: Saldo Zinfandel by The Prisoner Wine Company • $25.99)
The Prisoner Cabernet has a little more structure, you get the black fruits and a darker complexion, and is perfect for a steak night (The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon • $46.99)
The Prisoner Chardonnay is an easy drinking Chardonnay, great for your favorite chicken dinners
Blindfold Blanc de Noir is a white wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, this one is not my favorite but is unique to try (Shop: Blindfold Blanc De Noir White Pinot Noir • $23.99
Unshackled Sparkling is a great sparkling wine to pair with anything and everything from buffalo chicken dip to teriyaki meatballs
