The Snug was one of the best pubs I've been to in recent memory. Me and my wife, we're in Hingham, Massachusetts, on a very short holiday. And let me tell you, this is gotta be one of the finest irish pubs, i've been to an a long time.
We were a party two, seated against the wall. When I remarked to waitress over how I love the name. Snug... she assured me it would get snugger as the night wore on. And as the night moved forward and it did. And to be blunt, I wouldn't have it any other way.
We started off with our typical drinks, ice tea for the lady, long island ice tea for me. They were perfection, of course, I grade a bar on how it does with its non alcoholic drinks and my wife ordered a second. So A+ bar. The long island was delicious, and came in a ball jar, which added style.
Moving to appetizers, we ordered an order of onion rings and an order of southern fried green beans. The onion rings were decent and stood fast by themselves, you can't get the fresh smell of fish and chips batter out of this place...But, the southern green beans opened an entire door of culinary excellence, not only was it a multi flavored fried food, but the dipping sauce was extraordinarily exceptional.
My wife being vegetarian, ordered the Greek wrap, it was of the level that she was already deciding what you would order next time. For me, I ordered the chicken pot pie. It's funny. I grade irish places on the orders of their pies, and whether they just simply have a shepherd's or whether they go all the way. In this case, I can't say they had lamb, however, they're chicken, potpie was a truly exceptional experience. With a clearly in-house made crust. That I ripped and teared when I dipped into the potpie it was so rustic, I felt at home.
I don't have photos for the dessert. Because we ordered it a la carte to go. I will say you can check my other reviews. We do a lot of Mexican spots as well. My wife being a vegetarian, she loves an exceptional churro. In this case, not only were they perfect, but they were filled with cream. Came with both caramel and chocolate sauce. It had my wife in stitches talking about. For me, I ordered their cheesecake.It also was exceptional. The snug is a local experience, something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Once in a while, people like us are allowed access. But what this really was, A who's who, a true local treasurer, the standing room only, that tourist people like us aren't normally meant to visit. I give this my highest recommendation.
