Miss one of Myrtle Beach, SC’s historic nightclubs? Tell which was your favorite here
At one time, nightclubs were an integral part of Myrtle Beach. Whether it was establishments like Xanadu, Club Kryptonite or many others, Myrtle Beach was home to several places that catered to the young residents and visitors of the Grand Strand.
But in recent years, most of the historic hotspots have closed their doors. Club Kryptonite and Revolutions at Broadway at the Beach ceased operations in the late 2000s and early 2010s, as well as popular shag dancing places like Studebaker’s, which closed in 2010.
More well-known hot spots have closed in recent years, too. In 2020, Broadway at the Beach nightclubs Oz the Experience and Malibu’s Surf Bar, known for its massive shark mouth inside the club, closed permanently. Attempts at reviving these once-popular clubs have had mixed success.
In 2018, the reopening of the club formerly known as 2001, which had been on the Grand Strand for nearly 40 years, as Status Nightlife ended after less than a year in business. 2001 was later re-opened again, as 3001 Nightlife.
Despite the closures, which historic Myrtle Beach nightclub was your favorite? Do you have a favorite memory from one of these establishments? Which nightclub would you like to see re-open the most?
