The last Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux in the Myrtle Beach area closed permanently on Monday, as confirmed by the restaurant’s general manager.

The sports bar manager Annette Tomko said the last day of operations was on Nov. 4. She declined to say why the restaurant closed.

This is the second Walk-On’s location to close in the Myrtle Beach area. The Carolina Forest location shuttered its doors abruptly in April, The Sun News reported. Two other properties in North Carolina also closed this year, according to the Port City Daily.

It is unclear why the locations have closed. Last year, the Carolina Forest location closed abruptly, with a note on the front door as its only notification, before reopening and then finally closing this year.

Walk-On’s serves bar food with a Louisiana flare, according to its website. The first location opened in Baton Rouge, Louisiana near the Louisiana State University Campus and it has expanded to over a dozen states.
