3 Gay Bars in Myrtle Beach, SC — LGBTQ+ Nightlife

Pulse Ultra Club has been a Myrtle Beach gay bar since 2011, moving to its current spot on Kings Highway in 2014. It's a video bar with a huge dance floor, full bar, and daily happy hour from 4-7 PM. The tagline 'Where the local boys go' fits the casual, friendly vibe. The dance floor gets going on Thursday through Saturday nights. Some reviews note secondhand smoke inside can be heavy, since there's no designated outdoor smoking area. Bar staff and drinks get consistent praise.

St George brings karaoke, trivia, and drink specials to Myrtle Beach's Five Points neighborhood. Formerly known as Traxxs, this relaxed bar runs something different most nights, with happy hour pricing and a rotating slate of entertainment. The crowd is a friendly mix of locals and visitors, and the owner is described by regulars as 'a little crazy'. Tuesday trivia and karaoke nights draw the most regulars, though the schedule shifts regularly.

The dueling pianos clash under neon lights at this downtown Myrtle Beach bar. Piano players trade off songs and jokes for a tourist crowd that's mixed gay and straight. But some recent reviews describe homophobic slurs from performers, including exaggerated gestures or jokes about moving to San Francisco. Hours are daily from 7 pm to 2 am.
