The new destination is located at Broadway at the Beach and is scheduled to officially open May 20, 2026.
Ole Smoky Distillery and Yee-Haw Brewing Co. announced the opening of a new joint entertainment venue in Myrtle Beach, marking the first collaborative location for the two brands outside of Tennessee.
According to the companies, the 40,000-square-foot venue combines distillery experiences, brewery operations, dining, live entertainment, and retail offerings into a single destination designed for both tourists and local visitors.
New Venue Features Distillery Tours, Live Music, and Beer Garden
The Myrtle Beach location will feature Ole Smoky moonshine and whiskey tastings, craft beer flights from Yee-Haw Brewing, specialty cocktails, distillery tours, and daily live entertainment. The facility also includes multiple bars, patio seating overlooking the lake, a large beer garden, communal seating areas, and one of the area’s largest television screens for sports viewing.
Food offerings will include a variety of shareable dishes and handheld items, including coastal-inspired menu options such as peel-and-eat shrimp. The venue is also designed to accommodate private events, group gatherings, and family-friendly visits.
Founder Joe Baker Discusses Expansion Beyond Tennessee
“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 venue will operate daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and will include regular programming featuring tours, tastings, and live entertainment. Packaged moonshine, whiskey, and beer will also be available for purchase to-go, subject to South Carolina alcohol sales regulations.
Additional details are available through the Ole Smoky Myrtle Beach Official Website.
