    Amazing little bar with great ambiance, service, and drinks! The whiskey and coke special is an amazing Thursday deal that I look forward to

    New Irish pub opening in Irvington. Not sure of opening day.

    I've never been to Ireland, but I would imagine they have many pubs like SNUG there! It was so quaint and cozy on a cool day. SNUG is located in historic Irvington. They really did a great job with the decor inside. Wood, greens and a tv with scenes of Ireland showing. Any whiskey or liquor is behind that bar. They have so much! I ordered an Irish coffee and it was perfect. Yum! They had a couple different types of chips called Tato's from Ireland. They have a whiskey club and have tastings.

    The coziest bar in Indy (name is very fitting). We stopped in and were lucky enough to snag the booth table near the entrance. This is such a cozy nook and had a window to the bar. There are lots of Irish whiskeys to try. Luckily, they offer flights so you can try a few. Great spot! We will be back!

    Pro's: Free street parking all around, cozy environment, friendly staff with great suggestions, a stellar drink menu with a few food items as well, fun atmosphere. Honestly that's it. Only a pro list for Snug. I can't wait to go back! They are having a block party for those who will be in the area for St. Paddy's Day and need a spot to celebrate!

    Stopped by SNUG for the first time on St. Patrick's Day. What better time to visit an authentic Irish pub, right? It happened to be Monday and they had $5 pints. There were several Irish drafts on tap including a cider. I didn't do any whiskey but SNUG is known for their extensive list. You can get cocktails also and they were reasonably priced. The space is definitely "snug" for sure. It is no more than a glorified living room that doubles as a pub. From that perspective it's no different than pubs that you will find overseas. Hopefully when you arrive somebody else is leaving and you can snag a table. I definitely want to visit SNUG again the next time I am in Irvington. It's a cozy spot to grab a Black and Tan or two.

    The SNUG is quite possibly the best Irish Whiskey pub/bar in America. Located in the historic Irvington neighborhood of Indianapolis the community that has been fostered at the SNUG in its short tenure is nothing short of amazing. While Jim Arnoldt is the face of the SNUG online there is an A-List team that runs the business, and works there. The SUNG is a small space - max capacity 49 according to the Fire Marshall - but it has the largest Irish Whiskey selection in Indianapolis, the state of Indiana, the Midwest, and quite possibly the country. There are regular Whiskey Club events where Distillers, Blenders, and Ambassadors will guide you through great whiskeys in a fun and engaging environment. The pint (of Guinness) is pretty darn good. On my scale it's a 4.25 (out of 5) with the head having a decent grip to the glass as it's happily consumed. Food wise your choice is either Tayto's (9 flavors available) or a snack plate. If you're looking for a slice of Irish hospitality in Indianapolis then this is the place for you. Sláinte

    Thankfully we were able to get a table right away because like the sign says, it's SNUG! Friend chose our drinks and we weren't disappointed. We watched a squirrel in the woods on tv. Would recommend for a drink and chill atmosphere.

    All I could think about when I sat down was "snug as a bug in a rug" haha! Have you been to Snug? Because if not, you should check it out! My husband found it when he was looking for an Irish bar around St Patrick's Day and tonight was the first opportunity we've had to go. It's the most cozy little bar tucked in on a side street in downtown Irvington. It's all Irish drinks and the service was phenomenal when I needed help picking out a whiskey from their extensive list. They even have some yummy Irish pot pies and empanadas when you need a small snack. Can't wait to come back!

    I've never been to Ireland, but my partner has. They said that Snug is straight out of Ireland! The dark wood, the green accents, and the Irish whiskeys and beers...it was an excellent way to spend part of our Saturday outside of Ireland!

    What an adorable new spot in Irvington!! This Irish pub is small but mighty. The decor is so eclectic and I found myself looking around at all the Knick knacks. They obviously sell Guinness and other drafts, but what I really loved were their slight twists in classic cocktails. I got a gin and tonic but theirs is made with a rose infused gin. So good!! Bartenders were friendly and helpful and it seems like the place is pretty lively. It does get kinda loud but it's all in good fun and adds to the exciting vibe. This will definitely be a staple every time I'm in Irvington!

    Fine example of Irish whisky.

    Always friendly with great beer and a fabulous selection of Irish whiskies. Snug only seats about 44 people so the name really fits. If you're in the Irvington vicinity don't forget to swing by.

    We went here for a drink before dinner. This bar is lovely! It was such a fun escape - it truly felt like we were in Ireland. The bar tenders were super welcoming, as were the other people at the bar. It's so cozy and unique. The whiskey selection is fantastic and the hand pies smelled delicious. The Guinness was also 10/10. We'll be back!!

    We've only gotten into this place 1 time, get there earlier cause it gets packed and SNUG quickly! But what a fun environment. This place is a seat yourself establishment, the tables are small and the seats low to the ground but very comfortable. The food menu is limited and we have not gotten to try anything yet. The beer selection is mostly traditional Irish style beer with a full spirits bar, so they do have something for everyone . We will definitely try to beat the crowd and make our way back into!!

Mikie's menu has something for everyone--it's huge and has a wide range of items. Their food is great and you get a large portion for a low/average cost. Drink specials are a must! Taco Tuesdays are usually very busy, but worth it. If you're a sports fan, Mikie's has TVs everywhere playing all the games for your viewing pleasure. The outdoor patio in the back provides a space for smokers, and there are pool tables and arcade games for anyone that likes to play games. My only hesitation for 5 stars is that they are consistently understaffed for how many people come in to eat, drink, and socialize. The wait for food or refills has been known to take a pretty minute.

That sounds like an ownership problem." I then asked for either the owner or the managers contact information, and was told, "if you're going to act like that then you can get the f*** out." I insisted I wasn't upset and wasn't going to make a deal of it, I just wanted to bring attention the matter. CODY, SPECIFICALLY, took the time to listen with respect without resentment. I will GLADLY ADD that Brandy and Cody were exceptional!! -Turns out the bartender's name was Justin, he's only worked 8 shifts, and dude told me there no was nobody there, at the time, that's worked there longer than him--That's the FUGGING FACT of the matter. I asked him four times for Christ's sake.

No matter the occasion it's a nice place to grab a meal with family and friends. The waitstaff is thorough and attentive without smothering you. Everything is made fresh and you can tell.

We got the prime rib sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and burger. Everything was delicious!!!

The hostess set a hostile tone immediately after we walked in excited and happy to eat at a good restaurant. She asked with extreme attitude "Inside or Outside" which we replied respectfully "Outside". She led us outside without a response and started setting the table. When we ATTEMPTED to sit down she then snapped at my girlfriend "Wait till I'm done". After finishing, I thanked her and asked her name (I was going to her manager with this issue right after), she ignored me completely and stormed inside. I approached her directly inside at the hosetess stand and apologized if we'd offended her somehow, and asked what was wrong. Her response: "I'm just doing my job." That's not service... that's arrogance and caught me so off guard I couldn't comprehend where this energy was stemming from. All we did was show up for dinner and we were treated with hatred. My girlfriend went in to address it. Not one staff member asked what happened. No apologies. No attempt to make it right. Just silence and dirty looks. We left without ordering. Management had a chance to fix this and chose not to. That's a failure at every level. Whatever reputation Bluebeard has, this killed it for us. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else.
