Tilted Kilt Celtic themed Pub Opens at Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Celtic-themed pub to debut in Myrtle Beach


A Celtic-themed pub deemed too risque for an Illinois town opened at Broadway at the Beach, raising the eyebrows of some store managers at the complex but giving others optimism that the new venue will help boost business.

Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a Tempe-Ariz.-based chain known for its "kilt girls" is opening its first S.C. location on the 21st Avenue North side of Broadway at the Beach.

The 8,500-square-foot pub has seating for up to 275 inside with more seating on an outside deck overlooking the lake. It will feature the trademarks of the Tilted Kilt brand, including a bar with about 40 brews on tap, Celtic-inspired cuisine such as shepherd's pie and, of course, the servers - known for their scanty attire of short, plaid kilts that match the bra that peeks from under white camp shirts tied to show off their abs, capped off with white knee socks.

Some say it's not an image that fits with family-friendly Broadway at the Beach, especially outside the complex's nightclub-centric Celebrity Square.

Michael Ford, general manager of the new restaurant, said the eatery is designed to accommodate anybody, and the servers' attire isn't any more revealing than outfits you might see walking along the beach.

The eatery in Myrtle Beach, decorated with limericks painted on the walls, old movie posters and memorabilia from locally owned Pine Lakes Country Club, is one of several new restaurants moving into Broadway at the Beach this summer aiming to shake up the venue's restaurant lineup."Its unique, energetic and fun atmosphere is appealing to a wide variety of patrons and the restaurant makes a conscious effort to be family friendly," he said. "Broadway at the Beach is all about great places to eat and having fun, so it's definitely a fit."
