    Food was good and the waitress was nice and happy. Beer and spirits were good. You need to experience it at least once!

    SNUG is a charming and lively pub that much lives up to its reputation for being well, snug! We…read moredon't mind because everyone was in good cheer and we got to enjoy live Irish music. The potato leek hand pie was delicious and so were the Che Chori veggie Shepard's Pie Empanadas. We of course had to try as many of the Irish specialty drinks including the SNUG Butter Beer with SHANKEYS WHIP, Ginger Beer and Vanilla Cream. We had never tried Shankey's before but immediately picked up a bottle at Total Wine with If you LOVE Ginger Beer definitely try the Irish Mule S9. We also enjoyed the BELFAST COFFEE made with Pangur Potin, Shuv Cold Brew, Simple, Vanilla Cream and Cardamon. Snug Whiskey Fest is coming! May 15-17, 2026.

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

Our waitress came by and we ordered a beer and an iced tea. I ordered an unsweetened iced tea which I did not drink, it was not plain unsweetened tea. Seemed like it had a lot of artificial lemon in it, not sure, but I know I did not like it. The hubby had a Corona and our friend had a pitcher of beer. We perused the menus and it did take a good while for the waitress to come back and take the order. The hubby ordered a hamburger and fries and our friend had the buffalo chicken wrap and I ordered the twice baked tater skins. The husband said his fries were cold and the burger looked like a frozen patty as it was perfectly formed and it was just ok. I may have ordered the wrong dish myself as I did not care for the potato cheese mixture that was inside so I ended up stripping all the insides out and just ate the skins themselves. Husband had to flag down the waitress to get the bill and keep in mind that they were not busy. It is a typical bar atmosphere in here with TVs all around the perimeter. We were sitting at a high-top table but they had both low and high.

    Finally made it in here, this has been on my list for quite a while. The interior is quite eclectic…read morewith tons of art pieces covering every inch of the walls in here. Love it. Especially the wall of test tubes with dried and artificial flowers. Plenty to look at and keep you entertained. We were greeted right away and invited to pick a spot we'd like to sit at. Our server Joni stopped by immediately. She took great care of us, answered our questions regarding the menu and brought us everything we needed. It is a skill to be so attentive without hovering. After a little difficulty deciding what we would like to eat, I settled on the straw-basil mimosa and the double decker BLT. My friend opted for the blueberry muffin mimosa and the quiche of the day. The mimosas were quite tasty I must say, too bad I had to drive or else I might have gotten another. The double decker BLT was huge. I had to eat it in installments. Ate the top half in the restaurant and devoured the bottom half later in the day. My friend loved her meal also and we will surely be back for more.

    We were in the area from out of town and this spot is super well located between the conservatory,…read morelibrary, coffee shops and murals, etc! The pros are the friendly staff, the cool art on the walls (tons to look at!) and some creative menu options/deals like a weekday $13 lunch deal or $50 three course meal for 2. The downsides- we sat by the door and it was quite cold, I think it's because we were by the door/a drafty window but I noticed space heaters throughout the space. My husband and I both ordered the BLT and while it was good, it wasn't special- the Roma tomato were small coin-sized slices and the romaine lettuce was the yellow, small inside pieces. I thought this sandwich would be a lot better with a thick sweet tomato slice and leafy green lettuce. For some reason, the fries and breakfast potatoes were taking a long time to come out of the kitchen. Our server apologized, but they came out after the rest of the meal and I overheard a server telling the next table it would be at least 30 mins for another order to come out. When they came out, they were cold. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing (the breakfast plate that the folks next to us had looked good) but I left a bit disappointed in my meal. Overall good option to visit in the Garfield Park neighborhood and hopefully just caught them on an off day with the food!

The wings were probably some of the best wings that I've had in a while! The lemon pepper was lemon peppering and I would have ate more if I had the room. The fries also came out fresh and were good. I also had a margarita (two of them ) that was pretty and delicious. What also sealed the deal was the server that was friendly and attentive. If I find myself in the area, I would definitely be back. It was the perfect spot to be before our night of concert fun.

Unfortunately, the service did not quite match the food. Our server seemed to be having a rough night. He rarely smiled, moved quickly from table to table, and did not interact much with our group. It felt like he just wanted to get through his shift rather than provide a welcoming dining experience. I completely understand that everyone has off days, and I do not know what may have been going on personally or professionally. Still, hospitality can make a big difference, and our interaction left us feeling more like a task than guests. That said, the food was very good, and I would give the restaurant another chance. Hopefully, our next visit comes with the same great food and a more engaging service experience.

Everyone we encountered was awesome. The drinks were excellent. We didn't eat, but the food looked so good that we both wished we'd eaten here instead of Livery earlier. The comedy itself was a bit hit or miss, but we're in Indy for a while as healthcare travelers and will definitely be back--for the drinks and the great people.

    EDIT: The organization I deceptively mentioned at the beginning of my review has rightfully asked…read moreme to clarify that I am not a member, voting or otherwise, past or present, of CCL, nor have I pursued membership or been interested in doing so. I've helped a little bit with a few of their events, but I'm just some concerned queer who got livid when he heard about this, and I thought that implying I'm with a group would make my words carry more weight. Stupid, and I make exactly one apology: for lying about my affiliation, I'm sorry. The organization has also asked me not to abut Shelby Street Tavern's reply to my review on Google, and I have grudgingly agreed. However, the post stays. I will notate my deception, and will also remove the needlessly rude section at the end, but the rest stands. ORIGINAL POST, EDITED AS EXPLAINED ABOVE: This is honestly a great bar, mostly, hence the 5-stars for Food, Service, and Atmosphere. I was initially glad my organization [NOTE: THIS IS A LIE, SEE ABOVE] chose to patronize this place. But that appreciation ended last night when bar management decided that keeping things quiet was more important than dealing with an assault and battery that happened at the bar. If the genders and races in the situation had been reversed, my friend would still be in jail right now, while the harasser in this situation got to finish out their night feeling good about getting away with what they've done. Someone reserving your bar for an event does not magically get the right to assault and batter someone. Never mind that the person doing the A&B has a history of harassing the person they chased out of the bar... [NOTE: FINAL PARAGRAPH REMOVED FOR BEING UNNECESSARILY RUDE]
