Super vibey pub in downtown clawson! Plenty of TVs, tables and booth seating, and a full bar. Our server Kiki was great! She was very lively and attentive--filling waters before they were empty, making sure we had everything we needed, and joking around with us. The burger was seasoned very well and the bacon was thick cut. The crispy fries were great and it paired perfectly with their spicy ketchup. I really enjoyed the Guinness stew. It had plenty of tender beef chunks, veggies and a heaping spoonful of delicious mash on top. There's plenty of the menu to choose from and I can't wait to go back to try some of the classics! read more

I was really disappointed with my order. The salad I received was incredibly sad-looking -- barely any toppings, wilted greens, and definitely not worth the price. On top of that, the two sides of dressing I paid for were completely missing. A salad without dressing is basically useless, and it ruined the entire meal. For the cost, I expected something fresh and complete, not a half-hearted meal missing items. I won't be ordering from here again unless the quality improves. Additionally, when I called they said I could come pick up the dressing they forgot. Nothing else they can do. Won't be back read more

Gus' Snug - Sad Maurice salad - Irish Pub Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Their live music isn't always on time and their bartender just charged me full Prices on a beer and appetizer instead of happy hour pieces after 9pm on a Wednesday . This place is only worth going to during happy hour anyways read more

Gus' Snug - An $19 Sheppard pie..... - Irish Pub Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

The place has a great ambience to it. Typical bar service was really good waitress was on top of it. I ordered a salad with blue cheese and cherries like the Michigan salad that everybody has almost $15.50. I get it and immediate something wasn't right something's missing. It's not taste right and then I realize there's no chicken in it. So I asked the waitress is there supposed to be chicken in the salad and she came back and said no, which I find it hard to believe for that much money. Everywhere else in the city I get the salad it's not more than $16 and it's included with chicken and this one is not so I asked for chicken. They brought it out turned out. My salad was a $24 salad so not worth I won't be going back for that. I'm sure their hamburgers are great. read more

Walking in I felt like I was transported to an Irish sports pub! I was nervous about coming here with family as the menu looked like there was nothing 'fun' I could eat (was looking like potatoes or a wrap without any protein), but am pleased to report they now have a beyond burger available for vegans. Fruit cup I ordered as my side consisted of cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes, and pineapple. Loud and busy on the weekend we went, but my aunt and uncle say it's quieter during the week and there are specials. Water freely available at the table, condiments napkins and cutlery in a little tote. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a good time. read more

Great times always. Never a dull night. Staff is super fun, beer is always cold, and the food is perfect. Love coming in to watch sports or just grab a drink. Perfect pub! read more

I visited Gus' yesterday for lunch and am pleased to share a glowing review. The service was wonderful, the food was tasty (& came out fast), the atmosphere was festive (decorated for Christmas), and it was all around a great experience! I can't believe I've waited this long to try it - I will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem in Clawson! read more

Went to this place while waiting to get into another bar. Was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was inside. From the exterior, it looks like a standard Irish pub, but they definitely elevate things inside. Being an Irish pub we ordered Guinness and the foam actually had a design burned into it, which was a nice touch. Curry fries were we're nicely seasoned and fried. I also enjoyed that they repurposed a keg into a urinal. Will definitely make a point to come to this place again in the future. read more

Small restaurant, friendly staff - our waitress was pretty attentive and food was okay. Ruben with turkey was slightly soggy on the bottom, salad was yummy, fish & chips were good and the slider special was also good. Not pictured pretzels and cheese (cheese was gross and had a waxy consistency) and spinach artichoke dip (nice size, crunchy chips, and good cheese pull) read more

An Irish style pub located near the trendy intersection. Parking in the rear and a rear entrance to go with the street entrance. Inside is trying hard to be an Irish pub, including two snug spaces. Okay beer menu with some Irish type beers included. Decent pubby/somewhat Irish themed menu. The fish and chips were good but not great. Staff was great. Helpful, fast, friendly. read more

Drinks at bar are excellent and bartender top notch. Unfortunately the food sub par. Fries soggy and over salted (leave the salting to the customer) and fish mushy in the fish and chips. Salmon meal - the salmon was small, thin and overcooked. Think I'll stick to just drinks in the future. Manger-type person came to ask and we shared above - lame excuses given and nothing offered... read more

Great little Irish pub in downtown Clawson. Live music when we went, phenomenal Piedmontese burger, and the chips & dip were a must. Friendly service too--will definitely be back!! read more

I went for lunch with a friend for the first time. I had a salad which was good, but nothing special. My friend had a corned beef sandwich. She said it was absolutely wonderful. She said the corned beef was perfect. Not dry at all. We will definitely visit again to try the fish and chips. The server wasn't all that personable, but she was attentive enough. I would say give it a try for sure. read more

It was our first time at Gus'. It's a warm, very Irish decor, that makes you crave a Guinness and some mashers. Well, you came to the right place! At Gus' I would have a hard time telling you what is better, the food or the waitstaff!! Everyone is very friendly at Gus'. From the great hostess, to the bartenders, to our awesome server, KiKi, all 5++++! We both ordered the fish and chips. Yum! The fish was fabulous because it did not have that thick, flour breading. It was a homemade, very light beer batter that was very flavorful! It came with fries and slaw. Our server, KiKi was truly OUTSTANDING! She never wrote anything down, but got our orders down pat! We ordered an apple Strudel to share, which was a nice finish to our meal. We will certainly make many trips to this adorable little pub in Clawson! It is surely a big hit with us! read more

This has been on our list to try for awhile. My primary take away is that Gus' Snug is a great destination for a beer and some live music but I would not recommend it for its food. To start we had the mozzarella sticks. The marinara was served cold and the sticks tasted like frozen mozzarella sticks that you air fry. The fish was greasy and lacked the desired crunch you expect from fish and chips. It was served on top of the fries which made them greasy too. The Wagyu burger didn't taste like Wagyu. Overall the ambiance is good, we'd return for a beer but unlikely to consider this spot for food in the future. read more

Best fish and chips around! This is the 3 piece but even the 2 piece is plenty. Great portion and amazing quality. So much fish and not too much breading. Make sure to order the Donegal chips too no matter what. You really can't go wrong with anything you order. The Maurice salad is phenomenal as well and the atmosphere is so unique. It really brought me back to Ireland. Cozy vibes for sure. read more

Live music on Sunday nights, nice waiter Natalie & friendly atmosphere to unwind & pick up a pint or two with friends & family. Dave the manager is very friendly & you can enjoy the lovely patio.

Excellent atmosphere fostered by attentive service & good food, & live Celtic music & plenty of parking, handicapped also at front door. read more

We have visited a few times on date nights and have enjoyed the food and the service. Our vibe is sitting at the bar and our bartender was great. She kept busy but made sure our drinks were full and the food was delivered hot and correct. read more

Overall it was a good meal. The service was very friendly but that said he was very flighty. He asked if we were ready to place our order, we said yes and then he went to another table. He also disappeared after the meal and it took forever for us to cash out. This was multiplied but us unknowingly sitting to where the live music set up and it was extremely loud to the point we couldn't have a conversation at our table. The food reviews: Onion soup was good not great, the onions needed to have been cooked down more and the cheese on top could have been browned more. Chicken sandwich was very tasty. The Reuben was good although it should be served sauerkraut up, as it was plated sauerkraut on the bottom which made the bottom bread mushy. Fries were good, although the portion sizes were visibly different and with four people getting fries and one person noticeably getting less was strange. Drinks were good. As stated the music was extremely loud to the point my watch was giving me alerts of sound over 90 decibels. I would return but make sure I sat away from the front windows, which is were the music set up. read more

Polite staff and a nice collection of Irish Whisky and domestic whisky and bourbon behind the bar. So far the Gus Snug has had the best burger on the Detroit Burger Week menu. Pretzel bun and bacon. Although it seemed like a Sysco Food burger, it was really good and they asked how I wanted it cooked. It arrived Medium. Very impressed. read more

Just want to let you know your service is horrible. We came in for the very first time tonight. We were immediately seated. Said they would be right back with water.. 20 min later no one had returned to the table. Someone was at all 4 tables around us but no one came to ours. We got up and walked out. The hostess just looked at me then over at our table didn't say a word. Very disappointed. I was looking forward to Shepard Pie. Well, you lost a good $80 in business tonight and we will never be back. read more

Food is tops. Sheppards Pie is great. I Haven't had anything I haven't like. Beer is cold and fresh. Very nice whiskey list. Outside area is nice, service is quick and ambiance is intimate, but a big tv place except bar area. read more

got a carryout of fish and chips, stew, and sweet potato fries. opened up the fries immediately in the car to start munching -disappointed to discover they very few of the fries were crispy at all. tasty-but not crispy. my 2 piece cod dinner had the smallest pieces of cod I've seen in a long time and the tiniest amount of slaw! probably 4 forkfuls!! The regular fries that came with the fish weren't crispy either. Over $45 for a pretty pitiful dinner for 2. my first impression when I walked in was that I'd like to return to dine in sometime. that won't be happening read more

Cute Irish pub- reminded me of Murphy's in Killarney the food was VERY good - hubby had pub steak with mashed potatoes (sooooo good ) and I had fish & chips (actual house made chips not fries -- also sooooo good). Had an "irish" margarita (seriously - try it) because my taste for Guiness does not override the godawful headache beer gives me. Look forward to coming back for Sunday Irish music read more

The food and drink are great, but do not come here for the music. Listening to Phil Collins "Easy Lover" is bullsh*t when it comes to an "being" an Irish pub. Nobody likes a poser. My two cents. read more

Pretty happy with my 2 visits here. Had food & drinks both times. Split a waygu burger with fries on 1 visit, the burger was great. Had cod on the other visit, also good. I was doing dry January and was pleased they had Athletic brand N/A beer, much better then many other watery tasting N/A's. Staff was attentive and helpful both times. We sat in the corner once where the opening to the bar is at, it was fun getting our drinks and food passed through the opening from the bartender. Made it easy to order too. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get and drinks were a bit cheaper then other places. read more

Best burgers in clawson hands down. Service is great and everyone is so nice. Vibes at 10/10 read more

This Irish bar/restaurant is absolutely the cleanest drinking/eating facility that I've ever been to. It has become my favorite place to go lately. And, the food is excellent. The bartenders are friendly and accommodating. Their prices are very reasonable. The 14 mi/Main St. location is a tough area for bars and restaurants with a steady turnover. I believe that Gus's Snug is a tribute to the food and drink industry with it's very high standards and will be at their location for many years to come. Great job Dimitri and staff!
