Snooks is a bit difficult to find, located behind Largo (Honda) Motors, directly on the bay at MM 99.5. The property consists of ample parking, a main restaurant building and a large tiki bar. Happy hour specials are only available at the tiki bar. Happy hour is from 5-8pm, Monday-Friday and from 4-7, weekends. Beer & well drinks are 2 for 1. Rum punch and premixed mojitos are $3. Snacks (chicken wings, poppers and stuffed fried olives) and 45¢ each, minimum 8. There is also live music starting around 6pm each evening. This is a great place to watch the sunset!
The tip here is be sure you get the happy hour price for your drinks. The bartenders like to play the game of charging full price for drinks if you look like a tourist or order a drink even 1 minute before happy hour officially starts. They will also up-sell and ask you if you want this or that vodka, which is not on happy hour. Just be sure to ask before you order. |

2. Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill
|
|
| JJ's Big Chill is located on the bayside of US 1, at MM 104. Parking is sometimes a challenge, especially on weekends. In the main building, there is a restaurant, martini bar and sports bar. Happy hour is only at the outside tiki bar. Happy hour is everyday from 4-7pm. Draft beer is $1 and well drinks are 2 for 1. There are no food specials during happy hour and full priced appetizers tend to be overpriced. If you spend at least $25, you can use their swimming pool. This is also a great place to watch sunset. |

3. Breezer's Bar and Grille

4. Snapper's Waterfront Bar
|
|
Located at MM 94.5 on the ocean, you will find a lot of locals at Snapper's happy hour. Their happy hour runs Monday-Saturday, 4-7pm, offering 2 for 1 well drinks and domestic beer. From 4-6 pm, you can get 75¢ wings, oysters and peel-and-eat shrimp. There is live entertainment, Thursday-Saturday starting at 7 or 7:30pm. Sadly, because you are on the ocean and not the bay, you cannot watch sunset from here.
Be sure to stick with happy hour drinks and food. Their regular priced drinks tend to be pricey. |
