"After such a devastating storm, we've worked with Sarasota County and are happy to come to an agreement that allows us to bring back the Old Florida historic beauty to the restaurant," Venice Pier Group president Justin Pachota said in a press release. "We've always had a passion for running Snook Haven restaurant and we are grateful to be able to open its doors again very soon."

Patrons will see a few changes on the property due to the repairs, but can still expect great barbecue, craft beers and live entertainment, including the beloved Gulf Coast Banjo Society. The county also has plans for a remodel of Snook Haven park in 2024.
