Cool Cats Lounge
Cool Cats Lounge is a dive bar at 32 Palmetto Bay Road, Suite 8-A, on the south end of Hilton Head Island, tucked into the strip behind the restaurants near the Sea Pines Circle. It has been the island’s go-to locals’ bar since 2013: dollar bills pinned to the walls and ceiling, a dartboard that is rarely idle and bartenders who remember your order.
Drinks, Darts and Trivia
Drinks are simple and fairly priced: well cocktails, beer and shots, with a happy hour in the late afternoon. There is a dartboard and a cornhole set, and trivia night pulls a big, competitive crowd; live music turns up on some nights. Visitors on vacation describe walking in for one drink before dinner and staying for the bartenders and the regulars. It is one of the few places on the island open late, which makes it a last stop after a night out.
Food and Hours
Cool Cats is a bar, not a restaurant: there is no kitchen beyond bar snacks, so eat first at one of the restaurants a few steps away. It opens in the afternoon and stays open late every night; call (843) 341-6903 to confirm tonight’s closing time and the trivia schedule.

What visitors say
A real dive bar, papered with dollar bills, where the bartenders make visitors feel like regulars. Drinks are well made and fairly priced, there is a dartboard, and it stays open late.
