Goodbye to Walk-On’s: Myrtle Beach’s Last Sports Bar Closes Its Doors

Goodbye, Walk-On’s: Myrtle Beach’s Last Sports Bar Bids Farewell

Hey there, Myrtle Beach residents! We’ve got some rather sad news to share coming straight from the heart of our beloved city. Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux has officially closed its doors for good! Yes, you read that right. The last day of operations was on the 4th of November, and folks, this definitely marks the end of an era in our area.

The Details of the Closure

Annette Tomko, the general manager of the restaurant, confirmed the closure. While we might be curious to know the reasons behind this decision, unfortunately, Annette has chosen not to comment further on that. Sometimes, it’s just hard to say goodbye.

To add to the bittersweet feeling, this isn’t the first time we have seen the shutters go down at Walk-On’s in Myrtle Beach. Just earlier this year, the location in Carolina Forest also closed its doors abruptly in April with minimal notice—only a simple note on the door to inform customers. After a brief opening, it too joined the list of closures.

The Trend Continues

It seems Myrtle Beach isn’t the only area feeling the impact of this trend. Reports reveal that two additional Walk-On’s in North Carolina also bit the dust this year. So far, there’s no clear explanation for why these locations are closing down. It’s a question that lingers for many patrons who fondly remember their times spent at these vibrant sports bars.

A Bit About Walk-On’s

For those who may not be familiar, Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux gained fame by serving up delicious bar food with a Louisiana flair. Yum! The original location started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, right by the LSU campus, and has since expanded its reach to over a dozen states. With a tempting menu that features classic southern dishes and a lively atmosphere filled with sports screens, it’s easy to see why people loved hanging out there.

What Happens Next?

Now that Walk-On’s has closed, many Myrtle Beach regulars are left wondering where to go next to enjoy some good food while catching their favorite game. Sports bars are a staple in the community, and losing another one feels like a heavy blow to the local vibe.

What could possibly fill the void left behind by Walk-On’s? Will more sports-themed establishments pop up to cater to the fans, or do we need to start looking elsewhere for our game-day munchies and cold drinks? These are questions that might not have answers just yet, but hey, the Myrtle Beach community is known for its resilience and creativity!

Sharing the Memories

Let’s take a moment to cherish the memories created at Walk-On’s. From celebrating victories to sharing laughter with friends during game nights, this place held a special spot in the hearts of many.

Staying Connected
