This is one of those gotta-go places. Good dance floor, good music, and the best thick bologna sandwiches on earth. We don't miss an opportunity More

great dance floor, great music, but super crowded. This is the Mecca for shag dancers. During SOS (April or Sept), it is overly crowded. And, you have to have an SOS card or pay $10. It's a great place to watch great dancers, whether you dance or not. The food is typical bar food. The drinks are reasonable. More

Leave your dancing shoes home unless you're really good. The skill level increases as the night progresses. We'd had a few Shag lessons but not enough to compete with these cats. More

Whether you're shaggin' to some of the best DJ's on the East Coast or packed in like Sardines screaming and singing your lungs out for all the great bands or sitting on the floor watching in amazement as the Hall of Famers do their thing like noone one else OR laughing your patootie off at Judy's sarcasm when she's giving...

nice place but an old crowd. Most were over 60 when I went. If you are over 60 and like to dance this is the place. More

I live in Colorado Springs. Whenever I travel to Myrtle Beach, I always stop in at Fat Harold's. The friendliest staff, the best beach food, the most wonderful music and swing dance experience I've ever encountered. I've been making pilgrimmages to Fat Harold's since the 80's and this place connects to my SOUL. Safe, welcoming, nostalgic. The Deejays are talented,... More

One of our favorite destinations in the world for dancing, meeting friends and fun. If you enjoy real beach music and old R&B sounds, this is the place. The bartenders are the best on the beach and by all means, don't leave without having a fried baloney sandwich!! Some of the best evenings we've ever had have been at Fat... More
