Pier 101 Restaurant & Bar, located on the Folly Beach Pier, is back open for business following a two-year closure due to pier renovations. As part of phase one of the pier’s reopening plan, Pier 101 invites guests to enjoy oceanfront views, fresh seafood, cocktails, and live music throughout the year. 

“For almost 100 years, the pier has been an essential part of the Folly Beach community and a top destination for families and beachgoers. We are so excited to welcome guests back to Pier 101 just in time for spring,” says Halee Brinson, general manager of Pier 101. 

Inside the 140-seat restaurant, guests will find décor and menu items inspired by carefree, easy-going beach vibes from the piers of decades past. The 3,680-squarefoot space offers indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas, shaded coverings and two bars. 

Pier 101’s menu features items such as Caribbean Seafood Chowder, the Old Fashion Diner Burger, Southern classics like Fried Shrimp and Shrimp and Grits, and seafood options including Fried Flounder and a Fish Bowl. In addition to lunch and dinner items, Pier 101 will serve desserts such as the Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffle and Fried Oreos. Along with an extensive cocktail menu of “on the rocks” and frozen drinks, Pier 101’s signature cocktail, the RootPier Float, can be purchased in a souvenir mug that guests can take home. 

Pier 101 will be open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. and is located at 101 E Arctic Ave, Folly Beach, SC 29439. For more information on Pier 101 or to view the entire menu, visit pier101folly.com.
