I recently relocated back to Pittsburgh after living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for several years. The first question I always get is, \u201cWhy would you move back here??\u201d The short, uncomplicated answer is that my daughter got accepted into Penn State University, so here we are. Living away from family and friends was hard, so imagine my excitement finding out that there was such a heavy presence of Pittsburgh culture in the Myrtle Beach area!\u00a0Myrtle Beach does not have a team in the NFL; the Pittsburgh Steelers are their team of choice.<\/strong>\u00a0I discovered that there are over 20 plus Sports\/Steeler bars currently celebrating the Steelers, as well as the Pirates and the Penguins.<\/p>\n

KING STREET GRILLE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve had the pleasure of visiting at least 7-10 of the spots over the years living there. My brother, who also lives in Myrtle Beach, introduced them to me in his quest to always support the Pittsburgh teams.\u00a0His favorite is\u00a0King Street Grille<\/a>, an upscale sports bar offering an outdoor patio and exquisite dining choices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They have a variety of\u00a0Menu options<\/a>, Mussels and all! The Seafood in Myrtle Beach is the best I\u2019ve ever had. The quality is perfect, and the price is right!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SPENCER\u2019Z SPORTS BAR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite places to watch a Steeler game in Myrtle Beach is a sports bar called\u00a0Spencer\u2019z<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0We would also enjoy karaoke here on Wednesday nights! Spencer\u2019z gave me the vibe of watching the game at the Galaxy Lounge in Homewood, PA. With their 26 flat screens, pool tables, and delicious food and music! Steeler fans rave about their wings and Philly cheesesteaks. One fan even said the cheesesteaks taste better here than some she has had in Philadelphia, PA! After the games, there is always a turn-up that you wouldn\u2019t believe, especially if the Steelers won! Steeler fans always unite, and I always felt like a celebrity in the house since I am originally from Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

BLITZBURGH SPORTS BAR & GRILL<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with the bar manager of\u00a0Blitzburgh Sports Bar & Grill<\/a>, Frank Krutkowski.<\/strong>\u00a0Originally from Poland with ties to the Wilkes Barre, PA area, he was really excited to speak with me!\u00a0The owners of the bar are from Wexford, PA, and are now living in the Myrtle Beach area.<\/strong>\u00a0Blitzburgh is located in Murrells Inlet, another suburb of Myrtle Beach, (Imagine driving on 376 from Swissvale to Monroeville).<\/p>\n

Debi Lucas (SP):<\/strong>\u00a0What made the owners decide to open a Pittsburgh-themed bar in the Myrtle Beach area?
\nFrank Krutkowski:<\/strong>\u00a0There were a lot of Pittsburgh Steeler bars already in the area, but the owners wanted to make it a complete Pittsburgh experience, so they showcase all Pittsburgh Sports teams!
\nDebi:<\/strong>\u00a0Are there a lot of patrons that come from \u201cup North\u201d that come to watch the Steeler games?
\nFrank:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, indeed! We also have many locals that are diehard Steeler fans as well!
\nDebi:<\/strong>\u00a0What has the vibe been like, taking into consideration the Steelers\u2019 current standing of 1-4?
\nFrank:<\/strong>\u00a0The enthusiasm is still there, and the fans remain hopeful! We are watching quarterback Kenny Pickett with high hopes! Either way, you definitely need to be here at 11 am for a 1 pm Sunday game to get a seat!
\nDebi:<\/strong>\u00a0What are some of the fan favorites from your Menu?
\nFrank:<\/strong>\u00a0The Blitzburgh has a great menu full of fan favorites and drink specials. The most popular being the Pittsburgh Steak salad ( with fries, of course) and the Blitzburgh Burger, hand-pattied and topped with coleslaw and fries! Sound familiar??<\/p>\n

Frank is confident that the Steelers will turn the season around, and that, my friends, is a true indication of a diehard Steeler fan! The next time you find yourself in the Myrtle Beach area, stop past and enjoy the Pittsburgh city vibez at\u00a0Blitzburgh Sports Bar & Grill, located at 3100 US-17 BUS Unit B, Murrells Inlet, SC (843-299-2104)<\/strong><\/p>\n
