The Snug

by

Enjoy a tasty bite to eat in The Snug – a popular destination for Bantry’s locals and visitors alike.

 
This cosy bar is located in the heart of Bantry on Wolfe Tone Square. Wholesome meals, sandwiches and soup are served at the Snug in a friendly atmosphere. The portions are legendary, and the quality of the food and service help to ensure the place’s popularity.
 
It’s been named in The Daily Telegraph as one of the best places to eat Sunday lunch: ‘“Lunch” is served from 12 to 9pm so whether you’re skipping breakfast after a late night, or eating late after a long hike, you can fit your day around it.”’

And it’s the place to find a perfect pint too.

What’s not to like!
