Brother Shucker's Bar & Grill is at 7D Greenwood Drive, Suite 3, by Sea Pines Circle. It calls itself a local, independent live music venue, and it is one of the few places on the island open late: the doors open at 3:30 p.m. every day and the bar stays open until 2 a.m., with a full menu served until midnight.

Happy Hour and What to Order

The slogan is Island's #1 Happy Hour, and the draw is the buck-a-shuck oysters, which reviewers point out are far cheaper than oysters at other restaurants on the island. Happy hour runs from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. every day, with cheap draft beer alongside. Beyond oysters, reviewers name the shrimp, the fish tacos and the wings, and note the fish tacos come packed. A few visitors found the crab claws thin and wished for more chowder options. Use the menu button above for the current menus.

Live Music

There is live music most nights, and rain or shine, the site says. Reviewers describe bands playing 80s and 90s covers to a dancing crowd. Trivia nights are on the calendar. If you are choosing a place for a late Hilton Head night, this is one of the easiest answers. Check the event calendar on the restaurant's site for the week you are here.

Seating and Getting There

There is indoor bar and table seating and an outdoor deck, and there is no reservation system, so walk in. The room gets busy during happy hour and once the band starts. Reilley's, another sports bar, is in the same plaza. More ideas are on the Hilton Head restaurants page and in the Hilton Head dining guide.
