Came in early evening and place was empty. Soon some regulars slowly crept in giving the place some neighborhood atmosphere. Kevin was my tap tender and gave me some suggestions on places to get dinner, as it was my first time in Maine, and more specifically Portland.

Place is nice but the atmosphere was a bit weird, the bartender was kind of snobby, we didn't have any food so can't rate that. Overall is was an average experience.

Great bartender, cool spot. If we weren't so old and tired, we would've stayed for more than one beer.

Not sure I can be completely objective as I'm kind of sweet on the bartender... ;)

What is the opposite of an Irish bar? Not welcoming, judgmental, condescending, rude, miserable? And that just describes the bartender. The regulars beyond awful and downright nightmarish. My half hour in the Snug was one of the worst experiences at an establishment ever. I'll never step in the door again and will always encourage others to stay away.

Cozy, good selection of whiskey at a fair price. Local and eclectic crowd but a bit too sparse and un-diverse for me.

Jessica Nahay

Nice environment, but the drinks were jist okay. Nothing special.

Zach Carter

I haven't had the opportunity to try the food yet, but the atmosphere was really good, and a good selection of drinks

Matthew Orlandini

Quaint and darkly lit Irish style pub with privacy booths. Nice place to relax and have a couple drinks in near darkness. Enjoyed the ambience.

Literally my favorite bar in the world. The bartender gave me a Guinness with a heart in the foam. I met the love of my life there. All good.

I don't want to review it because then y'all will come. It's nice, quiet. No food but BYO is allowed.

Kenneth Flood

Kevin is an amazing bartender and can tell some very entertaining stories. A nice chill atmosphere. A nice local venue close to home to frequent.

Portland should be called Snugland, 10/10 Kevin and I had a great time poking fun at people ordering drinks with no clue what they are
