After having a terrible time at Hilton Head Brewing Company I was about to call it a night and head back to the hotel, completely disappointed in what the locals had referred to as "the Bar-muda Triangle, when I decided to give The Lodge a shot. I was greeted by one of the two bartenders even before I sat down, and not with the usual, "what can I get you", but with a genuine, "how are you doing tonight". Their beer selection is pretty sizable so as I pondered the list the bartender said, "if you tell me what you like I can steer you in the right direction." after choosing one of Brooklyn Breweries selections I asked for a menu, but was told the kitchen was closed for repairs. This was a deal breaker and as I was about to wonder off to a third Triangle location for food the bartender said he would get me a menu from the restaurant next door. Wow, that's service! Got some wings and stuck around for Levitator while the place started filling up. The bartender continued to interact with me and all of the other guests with the same level of interest and caring the entire time I was there. I can't recommend this place enough!

Review from Jenny S.
The Lodge seems like a good place to stop for a beer in Hilton Head. I heard about it from a friend and was very excited to try it out.
First off we had a bit of trouble finding the place. It's in the Reilly Plaza complex with several other restaurants and bars, and if it's your first time, you may find you parked on the wrong end of the complex due to poor signage. It helps if you don't wait until after dark for your first visit!
Even though we were in town during peak season (July), our first visit was a little disappointing. The lodge is quite large, with plenty of tables and booths, but there were only about 8 other people aside from our group. By contrast, there were a ton of people (slightly older crowd however) across the way at One Hot Mama's.
Usually I like quiet bars; you can sit where you like, you get good service from the bartenders, and there are increased opportunities to strike up conversations with new people you meet. Unfortunately this wasn't to be as our bartender was borderline antisocial (I think she just didn't want to be there that day, we all have days like that) and nobody at the bar was talking much either. I loved getting my Sam Adams Summer in a growler to take home with me, but I just didn't feel that the place was that fun.
Gave The Lodge another try more recently and it was a step up. The guy behind the bar was a hoot and definitely hooked my girlfriend & I up on our shot orders. It still wasn't as busy as we expected but I think our proclivity for going out on "off" nights (avoid Weds-Sat basically) has something to do with that.
Overall we will probably visit The Lodge again but for a quiet beer to escape the kids or have a girl talk, not for some crazy fun "Night Out" type shenanigans. -
Review from Matt S.
Went to Hilton Head for one week (Sunday to Sunday) and somehow I became a 'regular' according to YELP at The Lodge, because I went twice within a week. Maybe YELP is trying to tell me something about my drinking habits....
Anywho. The Lodge is a bar located within the 'Bar-muda' area of the Reilly Plaza, which houses basically 4 restaurants (maybe 5?), which all have bars within them, WHICH all turn into a real bar scene at night, especially on the weekend. Once 10-10:30pm hit on Friday night, it seemed like quite the place to hang out for the younger crowd.
Besides the big younger crowd that came in on Friday night, The Lodge has all of these things:
-many booths to sit in
-a fake bear drinking a beer
-a million beers on tap (maybe 50 actually)
-$3 drafts of almost everything
-a fake weasel smoking
-nice bartenders
-pool tables and other games in the back
-a lot of tv's
How can you really go wrong? Once I saw Shiner on draft for $3, I could have been sitting in the parking lot and I would have given The Lodge five stars. -

I've been here twice, and this is my kind of place! They have an AWESOME selection of beer and the bartenders are super friendly. The first time I was here was during a slower time of the year. This was great because we were able to have some great conversations with fellow beer drinkers because the music wasn't loud and the place wasn't very crowded.
The second time we went was in the midst of the tourist season and the music was so loud that it was hard to hear my friends from across the table. It was also really busy, but that's half the fun! The beer selection was still excellent during the summer--it was just what I wanted. If I could knock them down a half point for the loudness I would, but it definitely doesn't deserve a whole point.
In the fall they have some great dark beers (e.g., FOUNDERS!!!) so hopefully they will have the same great selection this upcoming fall. If you're looking for a comfortable and unpretentious place to have a great beer, this is it! -

Went there on a Sunday evening and the bartender was more than helpful allowing my friend and I ample time to sample a variety of fantastic beer. Great place to pick up a Growler (64 oz. jug) of almost any of the above mentioned beer selections. Of course, the one beer I fell in love with, was unable to be taken home due to limited quantities. Oh well, second choice was just as good.
If you are a beer lover, take a few minutes out of you day to pop in and have some ice cold delicious beer! -

Went to the lodge on a Friday night...hubby and I were in town and looking for something to do...we had some very good drinks at the bar and the juke box has a big selection. The bartenders were really friendly and helpful.. we were looking for a place to go dancing and right across from The Lodge is Hot Momma's who has dancing after the restaurant closes..since they are both owned by the same group, you can have a to go cup and walk back forth between establishments. Very fun time.

I went down here with friends who are locals and regulars so I don't know if my experiences there were typical for the tourist crowd. We had friendly bartenders making us pretty strong drinks. I can see how it could be considered "fratastic" as others said in earlier reviews, although at first we got glasses and then later they switched to plastic cups. Makes sense to me! After 4 or 5 patron shots you might drop something!
The bartender was funny also so that's always a plus! -

We stopped in here on a Sunday night for a couple of beers. They have a good selection of really great beers.
Friendly bartender and typical bar atmosphere. Since it was Sunday night it was pretty slow.
For those looking for good beer on the Island I highly recommend this place. Their selection is better than any other place we went. -

hmmmm. Don't believe the ads suggesting this place is sophisticated and classy. The Lodge is unabashedly FRATASTIC.
Your drink will be served in a plastic cup. You will not be able to avert your eyes from the flat screens (there are even flat screens set up outside on the deck).
Yes, they do have cigars. Yes, Tuesday night is $3 martini night (whoopee!)
This is your place if you love well dressed cute girls and their boorish and slovenly dressed dates.
Sorry, Meredith M. I looked for your panties to no avail. -

The Lodge is my kind of place.
Speaking purely subjectively, the atmosphere is great--and exactly what you would imagine from a place called "lodge"--a lot of wood, unpretentious, and the occasional display of taxidermy.
The prices are reasonable, and the folks are friendly. Plenty of pool tables, and even a shuffleboard table (which I believe someone mentioned). Someone also referred to the place as "fratastic," but I would have to disagree...just an unpretentious place to go hang out with friends. Can't go wrong with that.
The Lodge is also adjacently located to a couple other bars, so you always have the option to walk 30 feet or so and check out a few other establishments as well. -

This place is 'the place' to go on the island on Tuesday $3 martini nights...i've never experienced any plastic cups myself (in my many times here throughout the years), and the decor is very 'lodge-y', the crowd is a big ghetto these days, but worth coming for the $3 martinis! They arent strong, so if you're looking to get trashed, this may not be your place, and i certainly wouldnt come here looking for any great catches, but the drinks taste good (tres girly), and for $3 totally worth it! pooltables and tvs definitely give it a more laid back vibe, but i think theres a cute little fireplace that make it cozy at the same time...
side note, a bartender who worked here was shot a couple years ago during a fight or something, so the triangle bars are definitely getting quasi ghetto...be careful! -

The game in the back with the sand and pucks keeps me busy for hours...gets better with more whiskey. Great place to get cigars.
