The Snug Bar Hitchin

Ah, The Snug Bar – it's one of those places in Hitchin that really tries to blend that cosy, local feel with a bit of modern flair, and honestly, it often nails it. I've heard from quite a few that the cocktails are the star of the show; they're expertly made and come with great deals during happy hour, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening out with friends. The staff can be absolute gems too, especially when they're on form during events like the bottomless brunch – sounds like they go the extra mile to keep everyone smiling. On the flip side, though, it's not all smooth sailing; some have had off days where the place feels a bit grubby, with sticky surfaces and less-than-pleasant facilities that take the shine off the experience. Then there are those times when deals don't quite pan out as promised, or the atmosphere dips with staff who aren't as engaging, which is a shame because it could be a real gem otherwise. Overall, if you're up for giving it a go, I'd say pop in for the drinks and the buzz, but maybe keep your expectations in check for the finer details – it's got that potential to be a favourite, but like any pub, it's got its ups and downs.
