Don't let the name of this North Myrtle Beach institution fool you. The "OD" stands for Ocean Drive, as in right on the beachfront, and the "Arcade & Lounge" don't tell the true story of this historic hot spot. As one of the birthplace clubs of South Carolina's state dance, the Carolina Shag, the OD Arcade & Lounge has been host to generations who flock to the beach to slip and slide across the sawdust and sand-covered dance floor. Yes, there's also an adjoining arcade, bar and grill, but the music and dancing are the main attractions. The annual SOS (Society of Shaggers) hold contests and events here, and some great beach music bands play on special occasions.

Myrtle Beach Local Expert
- Dance Clubs: "Take a break from the action on the dance floor to stroll out by the beach or visit some of the other nearby shag clubs."
- Best for Dance Clubs Because: Rodeo also offers a full dinner menu specializing in steaks. Wash it down with a cold beer, and work it off on the dance floor.
