We love Fat Harold's! There is a beautiful dance floor and always good music. This place is packed during SOS! Good times and happy people sharing the love of shag dance.

We went on a weekday night when the place was practically deserted, most unusual apparently. But that meant we met some of the regulars and got to understand a bit of this separate world. It was the friendliest place and the dancers were alight with love of the Carolina Shag, and they were happy to provide lessons and demos. It... More

Conveniently located in N. Myrtle w/ plenty of parking. The music is great! The dance floor is a really nice size and the beach music is to die for! If you don't shag dance, you'll want to learn when you visit Fat Harold's Beach Club. I love this place!

Everytime I go to Fat Harold's I always enjoy my time there. The bartenders are great and always remember you whenever you go back! The best DJ there is Jason Justice because he plays such a great variety of new and old music, not just the top 40 over and over again like most of the other DJ's. I would... More

May 22nd was our second time at Fat Harold's in two years - both times were so much fun! Jeppy gives free shag lessons at 7pm on Tuesdays and that was the plan for the night. Loved doing this last May and was excited to do it again. We decided to have supper at the grill there - Shawn did... More

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

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.

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.
