The wine list here reads like a grocery store endcap that got lost on the way to a sports bar. Fifteen labels, all familiar names, no surprises — and that's before you notice that Copper Ridge anchors half the selection. This place knows it's a beer spot and isn't pretending otherwise, which is at least honest.
The list leans entirely on safe, mass-market brands: Copper Ridge (three pours), Ecco Domani, Relax, Nobilo, William Hill, Franciscan. Nothing wrong with any of these individually, but together they form a lineup that requires zero thought and even less risk. There's a loose nod to geography — California, Italy, New Zealand, France — but 'region focus' is generous when the actual focus is 'stuff everyone recognizes.' No Burgundy, no Rhône, no Spanish wines, no domestic anything interesting. The rosé is La Jolie Fleur, which is fine and beach-appropriate, but that's about as adventurous as it gets.
All 15 bottles are available by the glass, which sounds generous until you realize the list is 15 bottles total. The BTG program exists entirely on the same crowd-pleasing roster — no rotating selections, no seasonal pours, no half-glass options. What you see is what you get, every day, forever.
Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc — $46/bottle
Nobilo is a reliable, clean Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that retails around $12-14. At $46 it's still the most defensible bottle on the list if you need something crisp and food-friendly — though 'best value' on this list is relative to a low bar.
La Jolie Fleur Rosé
Most people coming in for a burger and a beer will scroll right past it, but a chilled glass of this Provence-style rosé on a Myrtle Beach patio is actually the move. It's the one bottle here that feels like it belongs somewhere better.
Franciscan Cabernet Sonoma
At $54 a bottle, you're paying a significant premium for a widely available California Cab that you can find at your local grocery store for well under $20. The markup doesn't justify the bottle — order a craft beer instead.
Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc + Shrimp and Grits
The bright acidity and citrus edge in the Nobilo cuts through the richness of the grits and lifts the shrimp. It's the most food-aware pairing you can pull off from this list.
❌ The Bottom Line
Liberty Tap Room is a solid spot for cold beer, a burger, and a game on the screen — but the wine list is an afterthought and the pricing reflects zero effort to earn your wine dollars. Come for the beer, skip the bottle.
Arcadian Shores / Restaurant Row · Myrtle Beach · Italian
Crave punches above its Myrtle Beach zip code on the Italian side of the list, but the markups are beach-town steep and the by-the-glass program needs more ambition. If you're here, dig into the Italian bottles and leave the California brand parade alone.

Abuelo's wine program is an afterthought dressed up as a wine list — four California bottles, grocery-store-level selection, and markups that don't reward curiosity. Order a margarita and don't look back.

Rioz is a genuinely fun place to eat — the meat service is relentless and the energy is high — but the wine program is an afterthought in a room that deserves better. Order the Malbec, enjoy the picanha, and don't come here expecting anything from the wine list.

Boardwalk Billy's is a fun spot to eat and drink a cold beer on the water — lean into that. The wine list is an afterthought stocked with recognizable labels that require zero effort from anyone involved, and the markup doesn't justify the selection. Order a cocktail or a local draft and save the wine night for somewhere that cares.

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk · Myrtle Beach · Seafood
Drunken Jack's isn't a wine destination — it's a great seafood spot on a beautiful stretch of South Carolina coast that happens to have a wine list that won't embarrass itself. Order the Macon-Villages or Pine Ridge blend, watch the marsh at sunset, and stop overthinking it.

Wicked Tuna's wine list is a reliable, unfussy companion to a genuinely fun waterfront dining experience — it won't wow anyone, but it won't let anyone down either. Come for the sushi, the sunset, and the $2-off happy hour pours; just don't come expecting to geek out over the cellar.

The Crow is a legitimately fun bar — just come for the bourbon and craft beer, not the wine. If you need a glass, grab the Elmaro Rosa to support a local producer and call it a night.

College Area / Mount Royal · Duluth · American Gastropub
Tavern on the Hill is not a destination wine spot, but it's a fair, unpretentious list that earns its keep in a fun room. If you're in the neighborhood and want a decent glass with your pizza, you won't leave disappointed — just don't come in expecting anything beyond the basics.

Beer Baron isn't trying to be a wine destination and it doesn't pretend to be — but the list is priced fairly, skewed toward decent producers, and has just enough personality to keep wine drinkers from ordering a beer instead. Send a friend here for wine? Sure, if they're also ordering food and keeping their expectations calibrated to the room.
