"Great time out!"

Reviewed November 19, 2025 NEW

During a quick off-season visit, I stumbled upon this hidden gem! I was browsing Google Maps to see what attractions were nearby when I came across this spot. I’ve heard of the Opry before and initially thought of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, but then I realized this is just a small but super cute venue right in Myrtle Beach. While we were in town, the show "Time Warp" was playing, and I honestly thought it was an homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. My partner loves that movie, so I decided to get tickets. We weren’t sure about our plans, so I waited and booked last-minute tickets, which can be reserved 24 hours prior at a discounted price, probably one of the best decisions! The "Time Warp" show featured songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. The vibe was fun, the talent was superb, and it was just a great time overall. If you’re in Myrtle Beach, I definitely recommend giving the Carolina Opry a visit. You won’t be disappointed
