Wingman Metrics
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.
· Myrtle Beach · Steak & Seafood Wine Bar
Notte del Vino is the wine bar Myrtle Beach didn't know it needed — a short, deliberate list with real European bones and fair prices that suggest someone is paying actual attention. Send a friend here, and tell them to start with the Dezat.

This is a convenience stop, not a wine destination — grab a bottle for the beach and keep your expectations at ankle height. If you're looking for anything that requires thought or care, keep driving.

· Myrtle Beach · Steak & Seafood
SOHO is a solid beach steakhouse wine list — fair prices, plenty of glass options, nothing offensive and nothing exciting. If you're in Myrtle Beach and want a decent glass with your dinner without overthinking it, this gets the job done.

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.

Coastal Grand Mall area · Myrtle Beach · Mexican
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.

North Myrtle Beach / Restaurant Row · Myrtle Beach · Brazilian steakhouse / churrascaria
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.

Old Town · Scottsdale · American Gastropub
A long wine list that mixes Arizona and California bottles with Italian, French and Spanish wines, posted as pairs like 14 / 44 and single prices like 86. Start with the 13 / 48 Les Hauts Plateaux Rosé, or the 101 Scythians Red if you want the one Cucamonga Valley wine, and ask what each number in a pair covers. The restaurant's menus page and its linked PDF differ on some wines, so confirm before you go. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
The Loop · Chicago · American Gastropub
A glass list that tags every pour by style, with 18 wines from $15 to $25 and a 128-line bottle list from $50 to $550. Start with The Gage Brut at $15 or the Troupis 'Ekato' orange Moschofilero at $16, and confirm prices because the menu is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
· Yountville · American Gastropub
Goose & Gander is playing a different game than most Napa gastropubs — the Paul Hobbs curatorial thread pulls the list into genuinely unexpected territory, from Armenian Areni to Galician Godello, without abandoning the California core that belongs here. If you're in Yountville and want a wine list that gives you something to talk about, this is the move.
