Located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, across from the former Pavilion site, The Tasting Room on 9th is a must-visit whether you’re a tourist or a local. Their motto, “Upscale Wine, Downtown Vibes,” perfectly encapsulates the unique restaurant-style experience they offer, which captures the increasingly popular “southern housewife book club vibe.”

As you step into the restaurant, you’ll be captivated by its modern, clean aesthetics designed for socializing and enjoying high-end food at an affordable price. The restaurant boasts an impressive leadership team: distinguished sommelier Lisa Lee has partnered with celebrated chef Jamie Daskalis to open this sophisticated wine bar in the Art and Innovation District. Together, they promise a culinary and wine experience like no other.

The owners, Lisa Lee and Jamie Daskalis, are hands-on and make it a point to interact with guests, ensuring that the quality of food and service meets your highest expectations.

The food is fantastic! Coming from someone who grew up on chicken fingers and french fries and didn’t eat a real cheeseburger until my mid-twenties, I tried almost everything on the menu. The Charcuterie board is a perfect starter to share with a friend or spouse. The jams are exceptional, and the cheese pairings are flawless. My personal favorite is the Shroomin’ Leek Flat. Although I had never tried a leek before, the flavors were incredible, and I found myself wanting to order a second!

They also offer a wine flight option, which is perfect if you’re open to exploring both red and white wines. You get to sample four different wines, each with its own unique flair and flavor, making it hard to pick a favorite!

If you enjoy savoring the little moments in life with a tasty cocktail or wine while trying new places, The Tasting Room on 9th is the spot for you!
