Drinks are awesome! Good music! Hot & Cool Bartenders! We stayed there all night! $2 Green tea shots! We had about 10 shots each lol Younger crowd from all the other places we went to in Myrtle, which was refreshing. Everywhere we went everyone was retired. Too bad I can't post the videos of the drinks here! I only have one pic but the drinks & shots came with cool smoke filled bubbles!

On my first night of vacation out of state this is the first bar I've visited with a fellow yelper I met! The outside was so cool and it looks like a periodic table lol. The lights are so cool so as the color combination of the led lights from the bar is also pretty cool. We were only there for a little bit since they were closing in an hour when we came. We got the Mac and cheese app which was pretty good. And I got a one drink and my friend didn't really get any since we were running out of time already. The inside of the place was cool. It looks like a chemistry lab and my drink came in a beaker. The martinis are served with a dry ice effect. Too bad I didn't get a martini but maybe next time. The tables looks like the periodic table too which was pretty cool and unique. I would love to come back next time when I get to visit myrtle Beach again!!

First off we LOVE the chemist! This is one of mine and my boyfriend's favorite places to eat in Myrtle Beach (and we've both been going since we were about 10 years old). We found this place last March and loved the atmosphere, food, drinks, and service! I got the unicorn fish and the BF got salmon while both trying several of their specialty drinks. Everything was amazing! We went again today and tried the wagyu steak and the ahi tuna. The BF loves his steak and I liked the ahi tuna with the rest of the meal, although felt like the tuna was a bit bland by itself. The drinks were amazing both times and we totally understand why they were voted one of the best cocktail bars in the area! The menu isn't huge but has a good variety and as I mentioned earlier, we've never been disappointed with the meals we've gotten overall. They also have a wide variety of beers, so if you aren't into cocktails theres still other options for you. The reason we only gave 4 stars is because the service was slightly lacking this past time around. We've never been here during peak tourist season so I'd be concerned to see the service when they are busy. Although I would still and do still recommend this place to anyone and everyone! I love the chemist/ hipster vibe and like that it's not just another tourist trap (they have one of my old textbooks from college as a decoration LOL). Definitely a must during my trips to Myrtle Beach and should be for everyone else.

Was in Myrtle Beach on vacation, saw this place and just HAD to stop by. I am the biggest science nerd ever, so I thought this place was just so cool. And it was. It was late, about an hour before they closed, so we just decided to get drinks. The Molecular Mule, the Flux Capacitor, and the Periodically Peach Martini. Presentation of the drinks was awesome. Molecular Mule came in a copper cup, as it should. Peach martini came in a martini glass that was sitting in a bowl with dry ice in it, so cool. And the Flux Capacitor was served in a beaker. Not to mention that they were all delicious! This place is so cool and you should definitely check it out, even if its just for one drink like we did!

If I were to create a bar, it would be this one! I loved this place. Just the experience of the decor, layout, drinks, so cool. I was just so thrilled about everything in here. You cannot go to Myrtle Beach and not visit The Chemist. Rundown: It's a bar located directly across the street from Zipline down from the beach. It is set up like a chemistry lab. The servers wear lab coats! All the tables have chemical elements printed on them and the entire floor is a periodic table! So cool to look at and a great conversation piece, you know, like how you failed AP science and had to retake it, or how biology class was when it came time to dissect the frog and all that... Instead of a candle or flowers as a center piece like most places, they have an Erlenmeyer flask with blue fluid and dry ice that smokes throughout the meal to look like a chemical reaction. Your water is not in a glass, it's in a beaker, just like the ones in a science lab, measurements and all. And the cocktail menu! They are displayed on an illuminated chart! The chart is on transparent glass and stands up on the table. Absolutely genius this place. The drinks are bomb! Presentation and strong. I had 3 Periodically Peach martinis and I was feeling it, usually takes me 4 martinis. All the martinis come out with the dry ice smoke affect, but the smoke doesn't just dissipate, it lasts pretty long which is nice, if you're like me and ordered it for that reason. All in all this place was awesome. Our server Anna, was the sweetest cutest thing ever with her accent, she's from Bosnia or something like that and she took her time to go through all the drinks with us to decide on, and made great recommendations. I highly recommend this place, can't wait to go back to MB to experience it all again. It's a small but well thought out little spot. Side note: even the bathroom is themed, the sink looks like the deep stainless ones from chemistry class right down to the faucet handles, and I believe the bar had similar spouts as well. Really cute place.

I've always walked past here when I go to myrtle and this time around I decided to check it out. It's a cute little restaurant that is all based on chemistry. Every table has an element on it. The decoration for lights and such on the ceiling looks like an atom. The waitresses and waiters wear lab coats. Their menus look like an organic compound. They had this nice looking thing on the table that when they put this ice thing in it it looks like it's smoking or that there's an experiment going on. This even goes for the martinis!!! It was definitely smoking and video worthy. The martinis were a bit strong but good. Alright enough about that. The food was delicious!!!!!!!!!! Not gonna lie usually when I get pasta it tastes the same with every bite so I get bored of it quick. But the shrimp scampi was something else. The shrimp had its own unique flavor and the spaghetti noodles itself had another flavor. So every bite was different. The flavor was rich but not too overwhelming. I know that's one thing on the menu but hey try this place at least once! Oh and the bathroom sink looks like you're in the lab as well heh. Can you tell I'm a science person?

I love when a restaurant goes above and beyond to be itself. To separate itself from the commonplace eatery. The Chemist does just that. When you walk into the restaurant, the name becomes very self-evident in the theme of not just the decor, but every aspect of the restaurant. From the fun names of their food and drinks to the dry iced, beakers margaritas, The Chemist hits every check mark in the originality box. A few of the fun things that we noticed while dining here were: 1. Each table has an element from the periodic table on it to flow with the vibe of the restaurant. 2. All drinks are served in chemistry beakers and vials etc. 3. Many of the drinks had original names and included house made ingredients daily. 4. The menus themselves were laid out in a periodic table format, with the courses being named after the scientific process; hypothesis for appetizers, experiment for entrees and conclusion for desserts. 5. All of the wait stuff were wearing lab coats as part of their uniforms. You'd think a lot of this would make the place sound like a place that would cater to just the kids, but this is by far one of the most classy, hip and upscale eateries in the Myrtle Beach area. My wife and I ordered the Bondfire Shrimp for our appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. Probably the single best shrimp plate I've had, and that's saying something. I had a fairly generic burger for lunch (I won't comment further because I was sick during our visit and my taste buds weren't really rocking at top notch). But my wife had the ahi tuna and mentioned how delicious it was. It was seared to perfection (as she likes it a little more seared, they did so without hesitation). Overall the restaurant went above and beyond our expectations. From the waiter checking with the kitchen with each of our dishes to ensure there wasn't dairy in them (my wife has a dairy allergy) to our waiter, Amir, also detailing all of the signature drinks and menu items. We felt extremely taken care of here and if you're into the current culture of high scale eateries that flirt with the line of hipster chic, this place is a highly recommend ed experience. Bravo!

Went here early on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. I loved the decor and overall feeling of the space. Our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty. Drink wise I had a Flux Capacitor and a Molecular Mule. Both were refreshing and delicious. My husband had a Thyme Machine and a Bourbon Flask; they were equally as good. Most drinks are served in beakers which I enjoyed since I'm a little nerdy. I had the Cubano sandwich with sweet potato tots (amazing!) and my husband had the Char-siu which he said was amazing despite the sauce being a bit salty. All things considered I thought this place was a pretty sweet find and would definitely go back!
