    The Irish Snug wasn’t quite Irish enough for me, and I think a big part of it was the music. The place itself is all bricks and wood and dark leather and gleaming bronze. So, yeah, it looks like a classic pub. The memorabilia on the walls is a mixed bag: some photographs and figurines from the “old country,” but just as many contemporary sports collectibles. The menu is a mix, too; traditional Irish meals like bangers and mash and corned beef sharing menu space with fish tacos and chicken tenders. But the music! There was a song by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, there was another by the Allman Brothers. You know, standard American bar tunes. No Irish music. I’m not even talking about the Clancy Brothers or the Chieftains, although they are favorites of mine. I know I am aging myself by saying so! But there are plenty of other Irish choices: the Boomtown Rats, the Waterboys, Thin Lizzy. The Cranberries. Clannad. Van Morrison and Sinead O'Connor. U2, of course. There was none of that. The music was all pure American. Still, we visited on a Thursday. Perhaps there is Irish music on the weekends? Enough about the music. What about the food? My wife had the Shepherd’s Pie, which she enjoyed. I had the Irish Cheddar Mac ‘n’ Cheese, with bacon added. That bacon was really something! There were huge chunks of it! We thought the food was what we’d hoped for - hearty, hot, and satisfying. The Irish Snug really does have snugs, those tiny private rooms from the old days. They were for female customers who couldn’t be seen drinking out in front of anyone. There’s a gigantic community room downstairs in this pub, too. It’s fitting for big meetings, or large weddings... or live music, for that matter. Irish music, please!

    Fantastic brunch spot!!!! (with cute patio area) I was one of a party of 8 out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We wanted to sit outside and they were very casual and accommodating about letting us, and helping us move tables. *BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS* and for 9$! Since we had a large party it was easier for them to bring a carafe to our table and let us refill ourselves. I had the Irish Denver Scramble. It came with eggs, cheese, peppers, onions, ham onions and bacon, served in a hot skillet, with a side of hash browns and toast. It was delicious and filling, but I wish it had more egg :/ My boyfriend had the Breakfast Burrito with Chorizo. It was huge and smothered in Green Chili. I wanted to try A bite, but couldn't help myself with a couple more. The whole party LOVED Alexandra. I think she was the host. She greeted us at the door and brought us outside, and gave us a round of waters. She came back to check on us throughout our visit and made us all laugh, a lot! She is awesome!

    Took a bit to get a table, but that was to be expected...It was St Patty's day and I didnt have a reservation. Other than that, this place is great! An actual Irish Pub in Denver! Service was fast, even being busy, drinks came fast and beer was cold! The food was DELICIOUS!!! The irish breakfast was so good! Corned beef and cabbage was perfect! Overall, 5 star for sure! I will deffinatley be back and recommend it to many people!

    Clean and inviting atmosphere. We absolutely loved the corned beef egg rolls. So many different types of scotch to choose from. I had the Smash the Kraken, that was so good! The bartender was awesome! He knew exactly what he was talking about when asked about the different liquors. We will definitely be returning!

    Genuine Irish Pub on Colfax...before you say UGH, know that Colfax is changing over by the day. I'm not sure it's a destination for young children but the Snug is absolutely a fun place with a great bar and an excellent menu. The staff are friendly and top notch...highly reccomend!!

    Awesome. Brit living in Seattle, visiting Denver. Ate here twice, dinner and breakfast. The mash, beef and gravy was excellent. The full Irish breakfast was great, with baked beans and proper back bacon, with HP sauce FTW. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended.

    Friendly service. I was hesitant when I walked in because it was seat yourself, but I found nice table and received service right away. I ordered the Shepard's pure and a son of a Baptist stout. The stout was very good, the Shepard's pie was quite American-ized, but was still good. They had live music that was okay. The restaurant was somewhat noisy, it wasn't distracting or bad, but it as definitely not intimate. They had TVs with a football game, and service at the bar. Would definitely go again.
