2 New Places to Check Out

If you consider yourself a local, or an advanced touron, then I've got a couple of new suggestions for places to go and check out for yourself. Wango Tango and Snooky's. In fact, I've just added these places to my North Myrtle Beach for Locals website:

Wango Tango bills itself as a sports bar and cantina, has daily lunch specials, and is really laid back. It's in the same spot as the old McCatz on 17th Ave. South in NMB, but did not carry over the rough reputation the old McCatz had. It's a totally new place, with LOTS of screens with a multitude of feeds. This place is really new, so it will get mostly local traffic in the beginning, untill tourist traffic begins to find it, so for now it's cool. It's easy to find, obviously, being right there are 17. The bill of fare is bar basic but with some builtin special treats. And, they've got Dos Equis Amber on tap. Check with Josh, he'll fill you in.

Snooky's is really off the beaten path up in Little River, on the ICW. Turn towards the ICW off 17 North on Baker Street. In fact, the place used to be called Baker Street. As of this posting, it's only 14 days old, has some really good she crab soup, and a fried green tomato sandwhich that is really intereting. And the view of the ICW is fantastic. Snooky's has an outside deck and picture windows inside. It's owned by the guys who also own Deckerz in Ocean Drive, so the pedigree is there.

We've done lunch in both places, but nothing yet at night. I know Josh told me Wango Tango is planning on some live music and a more grand type opening is July sometime. so check back here when and if I hear about it.
