This place is more than a club. It's home. I've been coming to Pulse for years and it's hands down my favorite spot in Myrtle Beach. Gay or straight, it doesn't matter. The moment you walk in, you're welcomed with open arms and zero judgment. It's one of the rare places where you can truly be yourself and feel celebrated for it. The owner genuinely cares about this place and you can feel it in every detail. Every time I've been here, it's clear he puts his heart into making sure it's safe, fun, and unforgettable. The staff is top-tier. Everyone's friendly, fast, and funny. The bartenders don't just make great drinks, they create the kind of atmosphere you want to be part of. No attitude, no weird energy, just good people doing what they love. The drag shows are always a blast, the music hits every time, and the whole vibe walks that perfect line between high-energy party and total comfort. I've met some of the kindest, most down-to-earth people here. Pulse has a way of turning strangers into chosen family. If you're in Myrtle Beach and want a night out that feels like a warm hug with a tequila chaser, this is your spot. Pro tip: Tip your bartenders well. They've probably already remembered your name and your drink. To the owner: Thank you for creating a space where people can show up exactly as they are and feel completely at home. The love and care you've poured into Pulse over the years hasn't gone unnoticed. This place matters more than you know. It's more than a club. It's a safe space, a memory-maker, and a family for so many of us. Keep going. You're doing it right. read more

Everything about this place was great!.. SUPER friendly staff, great ambiance, clean and spacious..EXCEPT they allow smoking inside. It was unbearable, we wanted to stay longer into the evening but the amount of cigarette smoke was SO overwhelming we just couldn't stay. We wouldn't go back because of the indoor smoking, unfortunately. We also wondered how many people don't go there because of this. If this stopped, we'd recommend 100%! read more

Awful music tired show! Stunk & bartender took care of regulars in front of others! I waited 10 minutes on a slow night! Never again!

Nice local club, mostly locals, cheap drinks Two shows 7:45pm and 12:45am.... bring your dollar bills read more

I love this place! I went to my first ever drag show at Pulse, and it was amazing! I'm a straight woman, but I LOVE drag queens! They are just so friendly and sweet! (The ones I met anyway) read more

This is an awesome club!!!:) I love it! Its a judgment free place...I will definitely be back

Visiting Myrtle Beach for my birthday celebration and what better way than to see some good drag. PUC came highly recommend from my Google search and after speaking with a few locals this is the only dance hall type club left in Myrtle Beach. I believe there is a George's hole in the wall dive bar which I absolutely love dive bars so my next stop on the weekend birthday crawl. John the barber is not only a great conversationalist , bartender but he's a wealth of information on past present and future of the area. I had such a great time chatting with him and came to the club twice and he remembered what I drank the night prior and my name. Loved it! The drag show on night 1 (Thurs) was just ok, still entertaining but Friday night was just live and tons of energy the club was packed cute guys and great drinks. They have 2 pool tables, a few other games and my favorite electronic darts so awesome time. If you're in the South Myrtle Beach area looking for good drinks, eats, fun, drag and a few cuties check out PUC, tell them the wild, sexy, cute and crazy birthday boy sent you. Seriously though it's an awesome spot and you won't regret it. read more

I live local and was so disappointed! Took a group for my daughters bachelorette party and we were literally not welcomed there. The girls had cash in hand and trying to tip the dancers. A Cooke near us complained the girls were pushing them. One of the men in charge came over and yelled at us. We were in a standing section and just trying to enjoy the show and tip. We ended leaving. Saved the girls lots of money. A security guard did try to help de-escalate the situation; which was kind of him. He was willing to talk to the other couple involved but at that point I had half of the girls outside and others closing out tabs. So BACHELORETTE's save your money. read more

Awesome space, incredible performers, will be returning! Wish they had snacks. Comfy couches!

Unfortunately horrible HORRIBLE experience. Girlfriend and her friend were dancing in one of the cages and without warning, a bouncer confronts them by touching them inappropriately and pulling them down from the cages. Completely understandable that they want people to be careful in the cages... why not just polietly ask them to get down and instead tear them down from the cage by their crotch and ask us to leave because "men and women are treated exactly the same here" is beyond me. As a gay women, I wouldn't want a man touching up on me like that! Will not be back and contacting a lawyer! Security also informed us that their security cameras have sound which is illegal in the state of SC... oops! read more

Was good only wish it was smoke free inside the drags from Florida were awesome the food we had was food the staff r nice and friendly

This was one of those nights that you don't remember all of, but you know you had a good time getting to the not remembering part. I visit Myrtle Beach fairly frequently to visit my BFF. This was my first time at their "new" location, which is a little out of town. We Ubered from the boardwalk area, it was about 12$. When we got there, the bar was beginning to get packed. I went up to get a drink from the male bartender who gave me a few of the worst pours I've ever had. The vodka and seltzer was given to me in a cup that was about half full. I also had the tiniest martini ever. It was a shot in a martini glass, literally. Then another friend of a friend showed up and said we were going to the wrong bartender. We switched from the man, to the woman, whose name was Julie I think, although at this point things started to become fuzzy... and boy can she pour a drink! Then came the drag show, with some excellent queens to get the party started. We played pool, darts, and danced the night away. It was a fun spot and being from a town that no longer has a gay dance club, this was a treat. Next time I'm in town looking for some dirty dancing fun, I'll be sure to stop by "Pulse". read more

So far it's really nice. I'm early, the drag show doesn't start till midnight, but so far I like the feel and decor of the club. It's waaaaay bigger than PT's in Columbia. Nice size dance floor, nice size stage. Comfy places to perch and pool tables lit with black lights ... Very cool. And something I really appreciate as a nurse... Conspicuous displays of free condoms. Come on people! Safe sex is Sexy. So, thank you Pulse for supporting that! Oh and they serve food. Got some awesome, crunchy , hot fresh chicken tenders and fries. read more

Drag show here are nice, not comparable to NY, but decent and entertaining. No creepers at least to while I was here. I went solo after partner got tired after dinner. Nice set up not huge but nice atmosphere. Billiards in the back and clean bathrooms well at least the women's can't say for the men lav. Bartenders are great cute and hustle like whoa. !! About a 45 mins show read more

So much fun! Stopped here on a whim oneFriday night and was glad I did. Cover charge was reasonable at $10, the food was decent and the drinks were moderately priced. I loved the drag show! Very entertaining and a nice variety of performers. I would go back here next time I'm in the area. Only downside is that they allow smoking indoors which sucks for non-smokers. read more

From out of town and going to gay clubs for the last 20 years this place is amazing, clearly well run and attended to. If your at Myrtle, check it out! read more

Nice club friendly people, went here for girls weekend we used the reviews to make our decision. The reviews said they had a great drag show, well the best thing about the show was the lady who intro'd it she was dress to impress and looked absolutely beautiful. Thought the rest of the Queens would be just as incredible. Well we felt bamboozled very disappointing. I just hope it was a bad day. The club is nice good music carefree people. Good drinks too! If you are going for the show you may want to make another choice. read more

I want come to pulse Ultra Club to meet some one . I am looking for fun. I want to meet same body.

Some friends and I visited this bar last night for some karaoke! The facility is nice and the bartender was so attentive and personable and if we ever go back, it will be because of her. Other than the bartender, not one person greeted us, or even spoke to us. Not even the queen hosting Karaoke, Lady Minerva I think? read more

Other than the cigarette smoke, we had a good time. The smoke from cigarettes was so thick my eyes were watering halfway through the night.

Worst service... waiting in line for almost hours for low class locals who are missing teeth.... under terrible management who can't contain the crowd who is Brought in. Bartenders have attitudes and are not professional read more

Worst service, you wait in line for what feels like hours as they continue to serve low class locals who are missing teeth. Under terrible management who can't contain the type of crowd that's brought in and the bar staff is old and not attractive. Bartenders have attitudes and are not professional. read more

Very friendly and good drinks. Really good bar for Myrtle Beach. A great bar for the local Gay scene

This club used to be awesome when it was in the old venue... but now you can't even see the your hand in front of your face with how smoky it is. Either they need a new ventilation system or make it non-smoking. It was unbearable. read more

Nice place to hang with friends , friendly people , awesome aesthetic. Cheap drinks too!

Bigger than the last location, I don't go out much but when I do, is packed! Great staff by the way!

Really good dance music and the place was packed on a Saturday night at midnight. The fog machine plus all the cigarette smoke made it hard to stand though, much less dance. We left after one drink with headaches. read more

This has been one of my favorite places to go since I was 18. The crowd is very friendly but tends to be for an older crowd. I'm 21 but still have a blast dancing and hanging out with everyone. Bradley is a great bartender so I definitely recommend trying to get him if you see him out there! The drag shows start at midnight on the weekends, but make sure to bring some cash to tip the performers! read more

Awesome place with an awesome staff! Happy Hour every day of the week from 5 - 8 PM, 365 days of the year. Different entertainment each night, from Karaoke to Drag Bingo to Weekend Dance Parties and Drag Shows. I have a great time every time I go there. read more

Very unfriendly staff. Was harassed and watched the whole night by one of the workers because of racial discrimination. Nobody in the party had any type of drink, alcoholic or not, while sitting in a private section and we were harassed while others were left in peace. When we brought up the complaints to a manager he did not seem to care. Will not be returning to this place again. read more

Great place. Bartenders and staff are great, especially julie. Something for everyone. They also have a expanded menu with good food.

Last week night visit found all patrons and bartender staring at their phones. Weekends center around late night drag shows, unfortunately performers have more ego than talent. Cover charges starting many hours before shows drive away customers. Weekend parking can be difficult. read more

Drag show was awesome - really inexpensive cover charge - staff was quick and friendly!

Unfortunately my experience at Pulse Ultra in Myrtle was not good one as I hyped it up to be to my friend visiting for the 1st time. We both visit Sept 2 and found the club not very "up-beat" especially being Labor Day weekend. We came in past the counter and immediately noticed that a Dr. Phil episode was playing on a television near the pool tables. Another issue was our mixed drinks were not good at all. We ordered two double drinks (whiskey sour & rum and coke) and the bartender placed them in single sized plastic cups (un-classy). Also no garish was used yet they were cut and available. I'm not sure what exactly happened to this club. I can remember having AMAZING times at the Rainbow House when it was opened and can remember past times here at Pulse. I used to not wait until coming to Myrtle Beach just to go to the beach and club and venture away of Harrisburg Pa gay clubs. But after this experience I doubt my BF or myself will return. Hope changes can be made. They're needed. read more

Pulse Ultra Club is an awesome venue! The bar tenders are extremely attentive and friendly and they now offer Happy Hour beginning at 4 pm. The ambience in the new location is great as well. Every evening they offer some assortment of entertainment. The owners and staff are continuously catering to the needs of the clientele which makes this a "must see" location on the Grand Strand. read more
