This place is so cozy and the food is great. It’s become a must-go place when I’m in Hingham.

Been here a few times, usually pretty good with old Irish feel. We stopped in Saturday about 4pm pretty busy but got a seat quick. It was just off today, took 20min easy before our drinks came, guinness and the water, quick apology, that's okay. Sometimes things happen. Looked like 1 server and maybe one behind the bar for a packed house. Decided on the baked haddock, my wife questioned how it was prepared as the menu didn't give a lot of detail. My mistake for assuming that it would come out possibly breaded or seasoned. What I got was a plain piece of haddock with a 0 seasoning, not even salt or pepper, a very small portion of coleslaw also light on flavor and fries. The fish wasn't bad it just was cleaned cooked and served. I have never ordered and had something like this with the rush. And already wait, I still ate it and added a little salt and pepper. The fries are good, and burger as always was delicious. The chicken tenders were different, full chicken breasts with the sauce that we requested.Not chicken strips or cut up chicken tenders and no breading. Again maybe just an off night and will stop in again but this was not a good day. Also if you have not been it is a very loud place when busy, part of the atmosphere at times but do not expect a quiet sit down meal when it is packed.

The Snug has a great atmosphere and is an awesome spot to grab a drink and unwind. The vibe is lively and the crowd is usually friendly. That said, the live music can get a bit too loud at times, making it tough to hold a conversation. Unfortunately, the owner often treats the staff poorly—calling them out publicly even when they’re just trying to do their jobs. It creates an uncomfortable environment that really detracts from an otherwise enjoyable place.

Two male staff members (they looked like cooks) working the night of August 10th at 8:30pm offered to jump our car after our battery died. Didn't even accept a $20 after they helped us. The food they made was great too. Will be coming back!
Cute, small Irish pub with live music and a great beer list

The closest thing on the South Shore to the Emerald Isle. Great food, incredible atmosphere, and a damn near perfect pint of Guinness.

The Snug was one of the best pubs I've been to in recent memory. Me and my wife, we're in Hingham, Massachusetts, on a very short holiday. And let me tell you, this is gotta be one of the finest irish pubs, i've been to an a long time.
We were a party two, seated against the wall. When I remarked to waitress over how I love the name. Snug... she assured me it would get snugger as the night wore on. And as the night moved forward and it did. And to be blunt, I wouldn't have it any other way.
We started off with our typical drinks, ice tea for the lady, long island ice tea for me. They were perfection, of course, I grade a bar on how it does with its non alcoholic drinks and my wife ordered a second. So A+ bar. The long island was delicious, and came in a ball jar, which added style.
Moving to appetizers, we ordered an order of onion rings and an order of southern fried green beans. The onion rings were decent and stood fast by themselves, you can't get the fresh smell of fish and chips batter out of this place...But, the southern green beans opened an entire door of culinary excellence, not only was it a multi flavored fried food, but the dipping sauce was extraordinarily exceptional.
My wife being vegetarian, ordered the Greek wrap, it was of the level that she was already deciding what you would order next time. For me, I ordered the chicken pot pie. It's funny. I grade irish places on the orders of their pies, and whether they just simply have a shepherd's or whether they go all the way. In this case, I can't say they had lamb, however, they're chicken, potpie was a truly exceptional experience. With a clearly in-house made crust. That I ripped and teared when I dipped into the potpie it was so rustic, I felt at home.
I don't have photos for the dessert. Because we ordered it a la carte to go. I will say you can check my other reviews. We do a lot of Mexican spots as well. My wife being a vegetarian, she loves an exceptional churro. In this case, not only were they perfect, but they were filled with cream. Came with both caramel and chocolate sauce. It had my wife in stitches talking about. For me, I ordered their cheesecake.It also was exceptional. The snug is a local experience, something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Once in a while, people like us are allowed access. But what this really was, A who's who, a true local treasurer, the standing room only, that tourist people like us aren't normally meant to visit. I give this my highest recommendation.
