Eight Great Myrtle Beach Area Sports Bars
By Becky Billingsley
Golfers and other sports fans love sports bars, and this list features places throughout the Grand Strand area where there are dozens of televisions, drinks flow and game time munchies are tasty.
Broadway Louie's, Celebrity Square, Broadway at the Beach (park near the intersection of U.S. 17 and 29th Avenue North), Myrtle Beach, 843-444-3500
Live entertainment and 50 televisions keep excitement levels up, and customers can dial in the volume from whichever game they want to hear right at their tables. Burgers, wings, pizza, sandwiches and typical finger foods make up the menu. If you get bored, there is an adjacent mammoth arcade.
Recommendation: Louie's Onion Burger
Dagwood's Deli & Sports Bar, 600 U.S. 17 Business N., Surfside Beach, 843-828-4600
Whether you want to sit at the long bar or get comfortable in a spacious booth, Dagwood's has plenty of room. Of course with a name like Dagwood's Deli, it's a given that sandwiches are involved, and a few of those include the Rebel Reuben made with turkey and the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Sub. Bonus: In addition to lots of televisions on the walls, the booths also have their own TVs.
Recommendation: Oriental Chicken Philly
Handley's Pub & Grub, 3873 Renee Dr., Myrtle Beach, 843-903-4904
Many of the Chanticleer athletes and athletic directors from nearby Coastal Carolina University hang out at Handley's, where the English pub-style decor sets a relaxing tone for enjoying a brew from a list of 68 choices. There's also a choice of 28 plasma and flat screen televisions and a decent menu. Choices include sandwiches, several sliders, hearty entrees and appetizers like Buffalo Chicken Dip and Spicy Thai Shrimp.
Recommendation: Fish and Chips
Magoo's Sports & Spirits, 3308 Waccamaw Blvd., Myrtle Beach, 843-236-3303
A few years ago Magoo's moved from within the Myrtle Beach city limits to the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway where there's more room and plenty of pool tables and televisions. Wings are still king, but they also serve great panino, burgers, quesadillas, sandwiches and seafood baskets.
Recommendation: Buffalo Garlic Parmesan Wings

Mulligan's, 1358 U.S. 17, Little River, 843-249-7145
Mulligan's is spacious, with plenty of room in the bar for foursomes and dining rooms that can accommodate large parties. The menu includes plenty of sandwich choices from a Prime Rib Sub and Classic Reuben to finger foods like Hamburger Sliders and Buffalo Shrimp.
Recommendation: Honey Pecan Chicken Salad
Overtime Sports Cafe, 1409 U.S. 17, North Myrtle Beach, 843-361-1514
Fajitas, burgers, wings, sandwiches, salads, chili and entrees are a few of the favorites from the extensive menu at Overtime Sports Cafe. Even more important for sports fans who don't want to miss a single bead of sweat running down their favorite team member's face are 150 televisions, a 12-foot video wall and three 10-foot projection screens.
Recommendation: The Palmetto Chicken Sandwich with barbecue sauce and house-made cole slaw served with an onion ring.
Sharkey's Bar and Grill, 1900 U.S. 17 Business N., Surfside Beach, 843-222-6663
This third location of Sharkey's (the other two are oceanfront in Myrtle Beach and at Broadway at the Beach) is the newest, and already diners are coming for soups, burgers, sandwiches, unique finger foods like flatbread Bruschetta and $11 entrees. The big news is the drink prices: well drinks are $2, bottles of beer are $2 and drafts are $2-$3. There are a couple of pool tables and about a dozen televisions tuned to a variety of sports.
Recommendation: Chicken Salad Sandwich
Vienna's Pizzeria & Sports Pub, 4410 U.S. 17 Bypass, Murrells Inlet, 843-357-9972
One side of Vienna's contains the restaurant, and the other half is a sports bar. Customers can order food on either side, and both parts are smoke-free. Both sides are also roomy with plenty of comfortable seating. A specialty of the house is a long list of white pizzas made with ricotta cheese, fresh garlic, olive oil and fresh Roma tomatoes. In the sandwich department there are several Stromboli like Mushroom, Philly Chicken, Italian and Veggie; and Grinders like Meatball, Eggplant and Sausage/Peppers/Onions.
Recommendation: Any of the pizzas
