It was a happy accident ending up at this place when the original place we were going to try had no nearby parking. To start, the service was awesome, the waitresses were down to earth but made sure we had everything we needed and then some- including some extra chips to bring home with our unfinished buffalo chicken dip. The place was as the name suggests...snug. But the intimate environment was all the better with the live entertainment! Nothing really beats watching a local artist playing acoustic guitar and singing "You've Got a Friend in Me" over some good eats. I ordered the Cape Cod Rueban which is your typical Rueban toppings but a golden fried filet of haddock, on a toasted brioche bun. I was honestly blown away by this sandwich. All the ingredients were so fresh. Both of us were very satisfied with the quality of the food, the huge portions, and the reasonable bill compared to other establishments in the area. For all this plus 2 drinks, we were looking at $70. If we are ever back this way, we will definitely stop in again to try some new entrees! read more

An intimate, Irish-themed pub nestled in the South Shore. In a world where people are throwing ice, fire and all kinds of garden herbs into their cocktails, you may wonder whether the neighborhood pub is lost to history (or Dublin, or Scotland or just about any place in UK). The Snug is taking a stand for the neighborhood pub. A bar three rows deep where you can get a well-poured Guinness on tap and listen to live music. Servers are all polite. The lean into the neighborhood piece is for real -- I think I saw a high school date there one time. Food is pub fare. Steak tips and burgers are go-to's. Don't try to look for fancy, please don't. Deconstructed chicken pot pie would just be wrong. read more

Bet little dive around! Good foot and atmosphere and great staff. A must if you are in town!

Love the snug! Would give six stars, if possible. Amazing food, including steak, tips, quesadillas, potato, skins, etc. Inside is decorated with lots of sports memorabilia, as well as Irish decor. Always quite busy, especially at bar, but service is excellent. We love to go there and play Keno and watch sports games. Multiple televisions in front of the bar. Would say one of the best restaurants on the south shore.! read more

Had a very nice lunch of a classic shepherds pie and a special turkey wrap in the style of thanksgiving with stuffing and cranberry sauce The Guinness was perfect and Chris did a great job taking care of us. Very comfortable Irish pub , would certainly go back read more

We walked in at 9:25 and found a table with several half beers and dirty napkins. After waiting 10 minutes, the artist told us they didn't really have a waitress and we needed to go to the bar to order. We really wanted a small bite to eat with the so called "perfect pint" and they told us the kitchen closed at 9. There was a really weird vibe in there with one waitress doing her best but never getting near our table After 20 minutes, we left. Too bad as the performer had a nice voice and was very friendly. But what pub closes the kitchen at 9 on a Friday night? Lame. read more

I love a good dive bar and this place delivers! It's definitely "snug" on the inside as the name suggests but I love the small & cozy vibes. I came here for dinner with my husband and a friend. I ordered the fish & chips and they were great! A huge portion size of lightly battered flaky fish served with an excellent tartar sauce. The fries were the "good kind" that are crispy on the outside and soft/hot on the inside. The coleslaw was bland but that didn't take away from the meal at all. My husband got the steak tips. He said they were cooked correctly and tasted good. My friend got the chicken pot pie and it looked amazing; a bowl full of pie covered with a large pastry puff. I will definitely be trying this next time I come here. If you love a good dive bar, check this place out! read more

went to enjoy the get music during the St Patrick's day week. great music, great crowd/vibe and an AMAZING melt-in-your-mouth corned beef sandwich. highly recommend! read more

Grew up in this area, but only discovered The Snug last week when returning home for a funeral. So happy I did. We ended up going back again and again for a perfect Guinness (the best I've ever had in the U.S.) and some delicious wings and Shepherds Pie. Highly recommend. Not just a foodie... I'm also a staple of the Pittsburgh food & drink scene (author of the book Pittsburgh Drinks) and own my own bar in Pittsburgh (Poetry Lounge). So those are my credentials, and I say this place is a new favorite would go to religiously if I lived in the area. read more

This place is a gem. Casual comfort food and a cozy cool ambience. The reuben sandwich is great, but the steak tips and shepherds pie are even better. Also, I'm pretty sure they have the best chicken wings on the south shore. Don't miss their perfect pint of Guinness. read more

Such a cool bar! The food and drinks are great and the service is EXCELLENT! Such great people work here I highly recommend it!

This is not a test. I came here to give a bonus star because the $5 side of fries is massive mound of crispy fried spuds, spilling out of their basket and easily making a light meal (or heavy snack) for two. This is not a test. Go to The Snug. Order a few pints, split a trough of fries, and be happy. No back to your normally scheduled programming. read more

A great spot- reminds me of the taverns we visited in Ireland. The food was tasty, well priced, and they even had smithwicks on tap.

The food and service were excellent! We dropped in on Saturday afternoon and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will be back for Another "perfect pint!" read more

Dump littered with inattentive servers and drunk Hingham snobs. Do yourself a favor and go to Schooner's where the food is consistent, the customers are friendly and the workers are pros. read more

We had such a nice night out at the snug! The Guinness was great as always, the clam chowder was delicious, and the Buffalo chicken dip was the best I've ever had! The chicken pot pie was also absolutely incredible. We had such a cozy evening with friends and everyone loved their meals. The bartenders were kind and the menu looked so good - we had a hard time deciding. Can't wait to come back here in the future! read more

Great pint of Guinness... it is, as the name implies "snug" inside. A classic little pub with a great outdoor patio, friendly staff and a true "Guinness pour". In a classic New England town in South Shore. read more

We have been to the Snug before and enjoyed our experience but not tonight. It was a Wednesday at 5:00 and it was not that busy. Our first issue occurred when my wife cashed in two identical winning Keno slips while replaying the same numbers. The bartender gave my wife one validation slip with a payout of $24. She should have received another validation slip of the same amount but it was not provided. The two new slips played came to $40 so with the two winning slips of $24 we should have received $8 yet were only paid $4. The second issue occurred when we got our food and drink bill. The bill had three drinks on it that we did not order inflating the bill significantly. We we're insured that it was an honest mistake however the combination of these two cash errors has us wondering and we will not be back. read more

the have about 20 table seats plus the bar seats. music session starts at 530, get there at 5 if you want a seat. somewhat attentive staff. prices are ok but not great. not quite a dive bar but not quite an upscale bar. when it's good, its way too small. bartender is attentive and moves, which I noticed and liked. Pints were nice. we have driven by at night and found them closed early. At this point now, their hours are not posted, but they used to post until midnight (yelp says midnight, but their sign does not). the garden might be nice, but was not open. And, Schooner's has not been consistent to my taste, so I dunno about that. if you want to see an Irish session, as far as I know, this is the farthest from Ireland that I know of, and is fairly representative of such things except it is over subscribed and then people clear out after eating. So go for your session at 5 or at 730. A snug is usually part of a larger pub. this is a snug only, but if they had the rest of the bar it would be a better location and work better for music sessions. would go back. read more

We finally returned to The Snug since before COVID restrictions. We loved the Irish music and oldies bands. We arrived before the music this evening and were lucky to be seated immediately. It is usually crowded and noisy. Our server was personable and got our drinks and food quickly. The Snug is, as the name suggests, a snug Irish pub filled with Irish memorabilia. The Smithwicks had a plump foamy head and is lighter than Guinness. My SO's sangria had a hint of peach schnapps flavor. The Greek salad was more than enough for two. The fried haddock sandwich was so big I thought it was the fish dinner. The fish was flaky with a crunchy exterior and the roll was soft and delicious. I had it served with vegetables; the carrots and green beans were tasty but the broccoli was cold. The appetizing chicken salad sandwich was a bit different; shredded chicken and craisins were on a hot dog bun and the mayo was on the side. We will return to The Snug soon to enjoy the music, food and drinks. read more

Cozy and friendly spot. Love the Irish music!!!! I am mostly vegan and I wish they had a veggie burger!

Checked out this place at the recommendation of friends. Definitely true pub feel with lots of beer options. Place is small so plan for a wait for a table. Located in Hingham Center, if you can't deal with a wait, there are other options. Waitstaff was friendly. Highlight in terms of food were the fried green beans appetizer. If you ignore that they are battered and fried, then it's a healthy vegetable intake! For my entree, I got a bowl of beef stew which was disappointing. What I got was very salty and reminded me of Dinty Moore canned soup. My fiancé got the chicken panini and it wasn't exactly what he was expecting either. It's a cute place and seems very popular so not sure if we just made bad menu selections. read more

After a group hike, 11 of us descended on the Snug for mid-afternoon meal (and in my case, a good IPA). They were accommodating, and our waitress (I hope I spell this right), Meghan, didn't bat an eye when we asked for 11 separate checks. The food was good. No one raved about it and no one complained about it. Meghan was efficient and accommodating. If you're in the mood for a proper pint, maybe some Irish grub, and the feel of an Irish pub, you should definitely come in. read more

The Snug - Daily Special: Meatloaf Sandwich - Pubs Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

I've been several times, but tonight I actually got a seat and ordered food. I ordered a corned beef sandwich with a side of ratatouille. I've never had ratatouille, and if it weren't for an animated movie by the same name I wouldn't know what it is. As for corned beef sandwiches, I might be a virgin there too. But for some reason this odd combo sounded good. Thankfully it was! The Snug has great peasant food. I also tried my friend's steak tips along with a solitary fry, and both were up to snuff. In fact, the tips were very tender. The Pretzel app was OK - nothing special. Same goes for the clam chowder. It could use more flavor. Of course, the Guinness was just right. It is a cool little bar though! I'll be back. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for a couple Years. Food is always amazing and it's the coziest little spot. Michelle is our favorite person in the building!

Friendly staff, great beer, excellent pub food all in the middle of downtown Hingham.

Found this place while looking up restaurants the night before and thought it sounded good. I'm glad I came. I got the hot pastrami and I feel like it's one of the best I've had. It was flavorful and still juicy. My mother enjoyed the chicken pot pie and could eating it until it was gone. My sister got the steak tips with mashed potato. My sister liked the butteriness of the mash and her steak tips was cooked as she requested and had a nice caramelized BBQ coating. I felt good and service here was pretty good that I'm already planning on coming again. read more

Super cute small cozy Irish pub located in hingham center. Has been a staple in the town for as long as I can remember. When you walk in you feel like your a regular here. The bartenders are always friendly and in true Irish fashion there is never an empty glass on the bar. We stopped in after dinner and had a couple of Guinness with my Dad and my boyfriend who is from Galway, he loved it!! I'm sure we will be back very soon! Slainte! read more

I've gone to this place a few times for their session nights and it's always been great. Food is what you expect and not too badly priced, but my last visit determined it would be my last. I sat down at a table with my boyfriend and ordered a Guinness with a shot of vanilla vodka in the bottom poured first (it helps take the bite out of a Guinness) Minutes go by - no drinks. The bartender comes over and loudly tells me that the Snug is not 'that type of establishment' very rudely. I was extremely confused and could not understand what the deal was. I tried to explain to her that I didn't want the shot on the side, just mixed in and she refused to let me explain. I've been at the bar on a Monday night at 9pm trying to avoid bursting an eardrum due to extremely drunk/loud young men who are never shut off there. So I'm very curious about what type of Irish establishment the Snug is? read more

First time at Snug.. very small place, cozy, I like it, but if you want to eat, only like 15 tables, so go early. Bar tiny, locals, it's a typical Irish pub in many ways. Anyway service was excellent, I tipped 35%, beer selection is great as well. Good new.. my guest had Haddock dinner, it came out in 4 large chunks, big fat pieces. Guess what, it was great, a solid 4.0- I rank it better than Jake's, or Nantasket Flats (which is pretty good) and much better than Lobster Pound. All over plated the french fries. The bad news.. I had Buffalo wings, crispy, I just was not a fan of the sauce. Suggest corner Stop or Burton's as much better. For dinner I had a pastrami sandwich only available on white or pumpernickel (which I had). It was dry, hey lean is good but this had zero & was dry, no flavor... It was a 1.5 . All that said, I tried the Haddock, going back for that, maybe try something else. I like neighborhood bars like the Snug.. the rating is all on the best parts (not my order) . OH.. one last thing, cole slaw was very good.. as it a 4.0. read more

Food was delicious and the staff were great! It's a cute hole in the wall spot and I definitely recommend!

Exactly as the name says - snug! Perfectly welcoming, quick personal and excellent service, great beer and food options. As an out-of-towner, I tried this place on a whim and was truly delighted. Small and "snug" atmosphere, easy to grab a seat at the bar and feel at home immediately. I'll definitely be back! Potato kegs and wings were delicious! read more

The pub is cute and the patio was nice. Unfortunately there was zero sense of urgency/service was VERY slow and the food was not very good. The server took our order, dropped off half of the drinks, checked on us once, and dropped the check. My daughter's baked fish was watery and flavorless. My Partner said his shepherd's pie was good and he liked the soda bread. My turkey tips were dry, charred (not in a good way), and the flavor was muted at best. It was really a disappointing experience overall. read more

It's a locals-mostly suburban bar that attracts people of all ages. Good community feel. You'll get some out of towners every now again from the town over, but not that often. The name is accurate. It's a snug fit. It's an open concept Irish pub with maybe a dozen or so tables running up to the bar. The bar has maybe ten high chairs or so. It can get quite loud when it's a full house. We were there on a Saturday night and there was some live music going. It was a good atmosphere and a pretty happening buzzy feel for a small town bar. Beer selection is solid. It reminded me of Ireland. read more

The Snug is everything you would expect from a "traditional" Irish place. To me, this means the inside is cozy and invites you to settle in for a couple of pints. There are only 6(?) stools at the bar, and the dozen or so tables are close together, so don't expect to have private stock trading meetings in here. I ordered the feta and spinach quesadilla to start , and my wife got the buffalo wings. The quesadilla was good - heaped with feta cheese (great) but I wish the spinach-to-feta ratio was a little better. After a couple of slices the feta cheese became overwhelming. The wings were decent. For the main course my wife got a good sized burger with "awesome" onion rings, and I got the steak tips (winner of best tips in Hingham for the past 6 years). The tips were well marinaded, and cooked medium (as I requested). If it wasn't a 30 minute drive, I'd be here every weekend. read more
