Myrtle Beach, S.C. (Feb. 16, 2023) – Kingston Resorts [1] today announces the completion of its $65 million all-encompassing renovation with the opening of Black Drum Brewing [2], one of Myrtle Beach’s only restaurants affording ocean views from every point in the space. Under the ownership of EOS Hospitality [3], Black Drum Brewing welcomes locals and destination visitors alike to a sophisticated take on comfort food paradise featuring creative Southern-infused delicacies, regionally-sourced craft beers, and new private event spaces including Seaside Vista, a modern-designed ballroom with an open-air terrace, and a lush lawn overlooking the Atlantic.
“We’ve officially crossed the finish line in completing our property-wide reinvention as we formally debut Black Drum Brewing,” said Bob Barenberg, managing director of Kingston Resorts. “Fun, entertainment and downright delectable food define our latest restaurant addition, which stands as a new reason to visit Kingston Resorts all its own. Whether you’re looking for a fresh spot to take the family out to dinner or even host a special occasion with friends and loved ones, Black Drum Brewing is a culinary experience you won’t be able to miss.”
Black Drum Brewing’s all-pleasing menu serves as a savory vessel for locally-sourced ingredients, fresh seafood fare, and the finest cuts of meats. Dishes include comfort food favorites served up on all American-sized platters that aim to fill.

For diners who prefer spirits, Black Drum Brewing offers a creative collection of country-inspired cocktails, such as the Southern Cheer made with Hopetown lime vodka and Cheerwine, Sunny Daze crafted with ginger bourbon and falernum, and the signature Carolina Sweet Tea mixed with Firefly Sweet Tea vodka and apple pie moonshine.
