If you want to try a place that isn't along the main stretch of continuous bars and restaurants along Hwy 17 then I give you Snooky's which is in Little River off of Baker Street. Snooky's has a great view overlooking the marsh and Cricket Cove marina, so they get props on that alone. They also have a tiki bar open seasonally which is directly on the waterway. The menu looked to be a bit pricey, but the food is pretty good and the lower drink prices even each other out a bit. The food specials have improved since my intial visit with half off on most of their really good appetizers. The 50 cents off and dollar off on house liquor and wine is an ok deal too. Only going until 6 while having a Mon-Fri Happy hour can be tough at times, but it gives you a good reason to leave work a little early. It took me over 4 years to realize that Snooky's exsited, but it's a nice little spot and is well worth finding it if you're ever in Little River.
