Kilt Friendly places in Myrtle Beach?

[macsim]

There's a place on Main St. in North Myrtle. It's an Irish pub/tavern/restaurant type thing, My wife and I ate there last year and enjoyed it. One side is a restaurant which had some traditional food like fish & chips plus other stuff and then there was a bar on the other side. Can't remember the name but seems like it was an Irish surname like Kelly's or Murphy's or something like that. If you turn off the main drag on Hwy 17 it's on the right down near the beach. The funny thing was I'm sitting here eating fish & chips in a really Irish looking place and in the bar some guy is singing Italian songs. Mama Mia thatsa spicy fish anna cheep!

BonnieT100, do you know where you'll be staying? As noted, it's a long strip of sand, and at times can take a while to traverse. It shames me to say (as a former resident of the Independent Republic of Horry) that I'm out of touch. Some of my favorite restaurants --- well, most of them --- have closed.

Good thought! that suggests something not quite intuitive.

Horst Gasthaus, in the Windy Hill section of North Myrtle Beach, is a really fun place. I've never been there kilted, but there's usually at least one guy in lederhosen Horst himself is Bavarian, IIRC, and very hospitable. Music borders on cheesy but fun. Food is good value, not cheap but not too dear.

Collector's Cafe, north end of MB proper on King's Hwy/Business 17; 7726 N. King's Highway, reservations preferred, open evenings Monday through Saturday, phone (843) 449-9370. Walter recommends the grilled filet of beef while Jena suggests the scallop or crab cakes. Bonus: dessert is served all afternoon, no reservations required!

Chuck's steak house a bit farther north, between Myrtle/North Myrtle.

If you're south, Murrell's Inlet was mentioned. Brookgreen Gardens, if you have a day/half-day free, is magical http://www.brookgreen.org/

My folks retired to the north strand and I've been kilted there on a semi-regular basis and never experienced any problems whatsoever, at any time of year. You'll get a lot of looks, a few questions and a giggle or two, but I've never experienced any worse that that (and I visit my parents as often as possible, taking full advantage of the available golf. )

If you play golf, THE place to play is Pine Lakes Country Club. It's a great old course, nicknamed "The Grandaddy", where the course rangers and staff wear either trews or kilts and a piper has been known to play on the course. There's a great little pub there as well.

To add a favorite restaurant to Fluter's list, and they are "kilt indifferent" (I've been in kilted and bifurcated) is The Sea Captain's House. Great food, nice ambiance and a spectacular view!
