Old Smoky Distillery and Yee-Haw Brewing Co. to Open Joint South Carolina Location in Myrtle Beach

 Ole Smoky Distillery, the most awarded moonshine and flavored whiskey brand in the U.S., and America's most visited distillery, has announced the opening of its first-ever South Carolina location at Broadway at the Beach in the heart of Myrtle Beach (1214 Celebrity Cir.) with a grand opening celebration set for Wednesday, May 20. Created in partnership with Yee-Haw Brewing Co., known for its high-quality craft beers brewed across the Southeast, the new location marks a significant milestone for both brands as their first joint location outside of Tennessee.

The 40,000 sq-ft, new Myrtle Beach hotspot is designed as an all-in-one destination where guests can sip, grab a bite, shop, kickback and keep the good times rolling — all in one place. More than just a distillery and brewery, the new spot also features specialty moonshine cocktails. Guests can enjoy guided tasting flights that offer a fun, interactive way to learn about the craftmanship behind each pour.

Designed to accommodate everything from small gatherings to large groups and private events, the versatile layout features multiple bars, a spacious beer garden, and patio seating overlooking the lake —creating one of the area's largest and most dynamic entertainment destinations. Whether dropping in for a quick drink or bite to eat, or planning a full-day outing, visitors can expect the following:

• Signature Ole Smoky moonshine and whiskey flights

• Craft beers from Yee-Haw Brewing Co. on tap and available in flights

• Live music and entertainment

• Distillery tours where consumers can see moonshine being made

• A wide variety of crowd-pleasing dishes, from shareable plates to handheld bites, featuring coastal favorites like peel-and-eat shrimp

• A family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes everyone

Inside, guests can kick back with lounge seating and communal tables, all centered around one of the largest TV screens in the area — providing a comfortable vantage point for watching sports and making the location a go-to for game days, group meetups and weekend plans.

"This is a huge moment for us," said Joe Baker, founder of Ole Smoky Distillery and Yee-Haw Brewing Co. "Expanding, especially to an iconic destination like Myrtle Beach — allows us to bring the Ole Smoky and Yee-Haw experience to an entirely new audience in an even bigger way. This is about creating a place where people want to stay a while – with great drinks, plenty of moonshine, craft beer, live music and a fun atmosphere."

The grand opening will be held May 20. The venue will be open every day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and offer daily programming, including live entertainment, tastings and tours. Packaged moonshine, whiskey, and beer will also be available for purchase to-go.*
