NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — A classy, upscale feel, carefully-crafted cocktails and infused liquors and an experience like none other.
That’s what you get when you come to Bar 19 Twelve.
“When you walk in, we don’t want you to feel like you’re in North Myrtle Beach,” bar manager Chance Martini said.
Bar 19 Twelve has been a favorite on the Grand Strand since 2019.
The story behind the name of the restaurant isn’t something you would expect. Martini said they were throwing out a bunch of names and decided on Bar 19 Twelve because it’s actually their address.
From a wedding chapel to an upscale restaurant, the Martini family brought this restaurant to life.
“Dad had a vision because there wasn’t that many places down here that were bourbon bars at the time. So, honestly, me, him, my mom, my sister, none of us knew anything about bourbon,” Martini said. “It took us about a year and six months just to get open with construction because this was formerly a wedding chapel.”
When you drive by, it may not look like much. But when you step inside, you won’t be disappointed.
