Changes at Broadway at the Beach
Written by Marissa Polascak on Wednesday, January 6, 2016
Broadway at the Beach has been a favorite attraction in the Myrtle Beach area for more than 20 years, featuring shops, restaurants, and special attractions like a movie theater, mini-golf course, and more. While it is always a must to visit Broadway at the Beach during a vacation to the Grand Strand, and while visitors love eating, shopping, and playing at the complex, it is inevitable that some changes will take place in order to keep the attraction fresh and interesting for returning visitors.
In 2015, we started to see some changes happening at Broadway at the Beach and heard some rumors about what may happen there in the future. While we aren't sure if all of the rumors will come true, here is a list of the changes that have recently taken place at Broadway at the Beach, as well as what we've heard may happen. Check it out:
What Has Happened or Will Happen

Planet Hollywood Closed
After 19 years of serving the Myrtle Beach area, Planet Hollywood closed in September 2015. The company decided not to renew its lease and stated that they are pursuing other opportunities in different locations.

MagiQuest Closed
Around the same time Planet Hollywood closed its doors, MagiQuest closed as well. Burroughs and Chapin will not comment about what new attraction will takes its place.

Carlos'n Charlie's Closed
Carlos'n Charlie's closed their doors for good after Halloween.

Several Nightclubs Closed
Broadway at the Beach is making big changes to Celebrity Square. Recently, several nightclubs like Revolutions Night Club closed.

Broadway Louie's Changed Location
Everyone's favorite karaoke and sports bar moved from its original location on the corner of Celebrity Square to the former location of Rodeo's.

Hard Rock Cafe Changing Location
Plans have been submitted for Hard Rock Cafe to move to Broadway Louie's former location. This isn't set in stone yet, but from how it sounds, it seems like it is going to happen. The only stipulation is that, if the restaurant moves, they must tear down their iconic pyramid.
What May Happen

Dave & Buster's Opening
There has been quite a few rumors circulating that a Dave & Buster's may be opening at Broadway at the Beach. If this happens, it is said that the new location will open where Hard Rock Cafe now stands.

Paula Deen Restaurant Opening
After a successful opening of a Paula Deen retail store at Broadway at the Beach, there are talks of a Paula Deen Restaurant opening in the near future as well.

Craft Beer Bar Opening
This isn't set in stone by any means, but we heard that, with all of the clubs closing in Celebrity Square, a craft beer bar may be opening soon. The rumored bar will have a variety of craft beers available as well as a “fancy” menu.
