Dinner and a song
This time of year many restaurants offer live entertainment, especially during the weekends.
Joey Arakas, owner of Joe's Bar & Grill in North Myrtle Beach, recently opened another restaurant at 1200 U.S. 17 S. in North Myrtle Beach (beside Sparkle Car Wash) called Wango Tango Sports Bar & Cantina. They have live entertainment every weekend, and tonight they're having a FREE LUAU that includes barbecued pork and liquor promos featuring tequilas. The band Soul Function will be on the main stage. Over by the WaccamawRiver in Conway at the SideWheeler Restaurant, Mr. Ray plays mellow dinnertime accompaniments on his keyboard tonight. On Saturday night, Gene McDowell performs oldies tunes on the deck starting at 4 p.m. The deck is a fine place to observe river traffic, wildlife and River Walk strollers while dining on Waccamaw Seafood Stew, Shrimp and Grits, Jambalaya, Bacon-wrapped Scallops and other regional treats.
