Myrtle Beach Bills Backers

[Sierra Foothills]

As it turns out, I'll be in Myrtle Beach next weekend and saw where the local Bills Backers chapter meets at the OD Arcade and Lounge in the city of North Myrtle Beach.

 

On the other hand I see there's an Anchor Bar in Myrtle Beach.

 

Any suggestions or insights on where best to watch the AFC Championship game would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

That whole causeway is littered with pretty decent spots.
 

Out of the 2 I can confirm OD is a decent watch. Never been or heard of Anchor Bar.

 

1/4 Deck is pretty good if you’re wanting a more casual time to eat, drink and watch the football.

Thanks for the reply.

 

If the bar patrons don't know the words to Bills Shout, I don't want anything to do with them.

Always good to be a discerning fan while on the road.

Bumping this in case it was missed by someone who could help me by shedding some light on the Myrtle Beach situation.

 

Interestingly they got about 6 inches of snow on Tuesday... the beach looks whiter than normal. 🙂

 

I guess it's somewhat appropriate that we'll be watching the Bills game in frigid environs. 😞

Update: The Missus and I landed in Myrtle Beach tonight at around 8:30 pm. As with much of the south there is still snow on the ground and it was actually below freezing.

 

Before going to our accommodations we beelined over to the Anchor Bar for a late dinner, which was just a few blocks from where we're staying. A lot of my confusion as to where to watch Sunday's game is that the Bills Backers of Myrtle Beach actually meet in North Myrtle Beach (which is a different city) at the OD Arcade and Lounge. I thought this pretty odd because it would seem a no brainer that Bills fans and Buffalo expats would naturally gather at the Anchor Bar.

 

Because it's the off season here and the 6" of snow which fell this week, Myrtle Beach is kind of a ghost town at the moment so the place was fairly empty. Plus 9 pm is kind of late for dinner, even for a Friday. We decided to sit at the bar because who better to get the goods from than the bartender? It's a peninsula bar attached to one of the walls with seating around the perimeter and lots of Bills and Buffalo memorabilia. The bartender Mike, is a former Marine and a resident of Auburn, NY who stayed in the area after his discharge from Parris Island. For dinner I had the spaghetti and meatballs which was excellent. The sauce was definitely homemade as were the meatballs. My wife had the chicken wing and beef on weck combo which was also excellent.

 

During dinner conversation with Mike and a few regulars we found that there's always a gathering for Bills games and that it gets quite crowded. Mike said we should show up at least an hour early if we want to get a spot to watch the game.

 

So that's the plan for Sunday. Go Bills!
