A popular Murrells Inlet restaurant and pub went up in flames Wednesday morning, but owners say they are already planning to rebuild and hope to be back in business by the summer.
Officials with the Murrells Inlet - Garden City Fire Rescue (MIGSFR) said they were called to a fire at Dead Dog Saloon just off of Hwy 17 Business at 4:15 a.m.
MIGSFR Assistant Chief Danny Lussier said investigators believe the fire started on or underneath the back deck. He said flames quickly spread from the outdoor deck which surrounds a large oak tree, up the walls of the building and into the attic. 
From the front of Dead Dog Saloon only roof damage is visible, but fire crews say the back of the bar, nearest the marsh, has extensive damage and is virtually "gone."
Despite the damage to the saloon, owner Charlie Campbell said he plans to open the popular MarshWalk restaurant again. His family wants to tear down the destroyed building and hopefully have a new one in its place by June.
Dead Dog Saloon opened in 2002, and it has hosted an annual firefighter fundraiser on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in America. Many people now call the restaurant their favorite in the MarshWalk area.
