The Snug • 223 Congress St • Portland, Maine • 772.6839

Closed Memorial Day

Mairead — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:01:59 +0000

Little know fact…Sully is one of this country’s top Competitive Extreme Dog Grooming Champions! This year he and Monsieur Jacques Cousteau made it all the way to the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix Creative Challenge held at the The Queensland Pavilion in Brisbane QLD, Australia! They’ll be heading out this week and – fingers crossed – bring back the Best in Show on Memorial Day. Suffice it to say, we’ll be closed in order to celebrate their triumphant return!

Michelle Is In The Four Timers Club!!!

Once again Portland has spoken and Michelle was voted Best Bartender! Often times I’m asked to describe her. It’s not easy. She is incomparable. That being said, I feel The Portland Phoenix has printed the most accurate thing ever written about Michelle or The Snug. They absolutely nailed the “Michelle experience.”

Opening at 2PM on St. Patrick’s Day!!!

Mairead — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 15:24:45 +0000

Want to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day with a greatly diminished chance of getting puked on? Would you like your experience to involve 98% less kelly green and shamrocks? Come to The Snug for some old-timey, ruckus but civilized celebrating!!!

Blizzard Drinking Part Deux!

Mairead — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:33:55 +0000

Never one to be outdone, Jonah has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to get down Munjoy Hill, thus ensuring The Snug will be open for business today at 5:00!

After a long day of shoveling, reward yourself with good company and a delicious adult beverage!

…and yes, that is the same chartreuse unikini Michelle used to wear. A hand-me-down, sure, but just as flattering!

Blizzard Drinking is Auwn!

Mairead — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:52:11 +0000

Michelle is making the trek in to The Snug tonight. You should too!

PLEASE…only walking, snow shoeing, skiing or sledding patrons tonight. PLEASE do not drive! Those of you who do not live within walking distance, stay at home and do the next best thing…make yourself a hot toddy, get into your Snuggy and watch Mean Girls.

Closed New Year’s Day

Mairead — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:03:47 +0000

I already mentioned that we’d be closed New Year’s Day, but here’s a quick peek as to why. We’ll be in a New Year’s Day Parade performing our now famous, Snugnam Style!

A Very Special Christmas

Mairead — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 03:18:18 +0000

So that we may celebrate Christmas the way it was intended to be celebrated…with Sully naked and Michelle & Elizabeth cradled in my bosoms…we will be closed both Monday, the 24th and Tuesday, the 25th.

Please have a wonderful couple of days off from The Snug, and we look forward to sharing all of our dysfunctional escapades with you on Wednesday! There will be a slide show!!

Also, while I have you, we will be closed New Year’s Day.

Closed Labor Day

Mairead — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:33:11 +0000

I’m not going to lie. Sully is a weird cat. For reasons that are his own, he’s heading to the Russian sector of Berlin to celebrate Labor Day this year in an actual labor camp!

As he so succinctly put it, “that pile of rubble isn’t going to move itself,” so we will be closed on Monday.

Also Supporting…

Mairead — Sat, 12 May 2012 01:06:22 +0000

…this cool thing called Bicycle Benefits. Basically, you buy one of these stickers and stick it to your bicycle helmet. Then, you bike to The Snug. Then you bring your helmet in with you. Then show your helmet to the bartender and point to your bicycle outside. Then the bartender will probably make fun of your helmet hair for a while. Then the bartender will take a dollar off your draft beer purchase. Easy peasy.

Please keep in mind that drunk driving laws apply to bicycles as well! Drink responsibly.

“Proud” New Sponsor!

Mairead — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:02:40 +0000

Sponsoring bowling teams or softball teams is soooo 2011. For 2012, our benevolence goes to foodcoma.tv! The benefits of watching FoodComa are manyfold: Joe Ricchio and Joel Beauchamp are wildly entertaining and mentally unstable, they bring attention to awesome watering holes and eateries, and most importantly, they encourage moderation and temperance [you laugh, but watching just a few moments of any given episode makes one feel fat and hungover...it's absolute reverse psychology!].
