Hilton Head Island is a resort town that has fully committed to the bit: golf, tennis, bikes on the beach path, and a cocktail waiting at every turn. The bar scene leans into it too, which is great until you realize that most of the snack menus holding the drinks together are built almost entirely around things you can't eat. Finding a bar here that treats gluten-free as something other than an afterthought takes more effort than it should in a place this accustomed to catering to people's preferences. This list is the bars that actually get it right. For more to work with on the island, see Bars in North End and our picks for gluten-free pizza.
