Snugbar

My friends and I used to go to the Snug Bar as a treat. However, the bartender is gone. So now is the menu. Thus now is the Bar. Well, it’s still there. But the new bartender is frantically trying to keep up, the ambiance is totally different, and while the new ‘tender is trying his best, he just isn’t our old mixologist.
R.I.P. Snug Bar

Best bar in the city! I went there for the 1^st time last night and was extremely impressed by the bartender, Robbie and his waitstaff, Andrew. I will admit that I am a very picky person when it comes to bars and drinks but Robbie made me such amazing Bloody Marys. I am glad I found my new home away from home.

Went to the Snugbar with my wife and friends last night and we had a wonderful time. It reminded me of a chic undergound European bar, with a variety of seating, low lighting, post-​modern decorations, and techno-​ish music playing in the background. The dim sum was good (not great), but the drinks were delicious! The bartender did an amazing job and provided excellent customer service. One of us ordered a «Blazing Saddle,» and we were delightfully surprised when the bartender lit the alcohol on fire to warm it up and poured the drink back and forth between two cups, which provided quite the fire show! Fun night!

This is easily the best bar in Corvallis.
1. The Bartender is knowledgeable and passionate about his craft.
2. Craft. This is a talented bartender who not only knows his alcohol, but has come up with some crazy (crazy delicious) drink combinations. Watching his performance is wonderful.
3. The ambiance is wonderful. It is intimate, small (which can kind of be a downer, but such is life), dimly lit. The music is good.
4. The clientele is not a bunch of loud, fratty «chin strap douche bags». These are people you can have a conversation with over a delicious drink without the word «bro» being tossed around like beads at mardi gras.
I will definitely be back and will tell all my friends. Thanks for bringing a nice place to Corvalis.

Great place to just sip high quality drinks and relax with a date or catch up with the girls. Love the fact that you can order amazing food from upstairs as well!

I will start this review off by saying that i am a person that is not easily impressed.
Snug is the best idea ever.
An intimate, well appointed bar for people who want a WELL mixed drink as opposed to a well drink. As soon as you enter you feel cozy… which is my guess on why they named it snug. It feels like you know a secret, like you’ve stepped into a speakeasy. Couches, bar stools, comfy chairs, & good music. You can order dim sum from upstairs, without the service that upstairs provides.
Let’s talk about chris, the bartender. He’s what i expect from a bartender as a grown up out for a few well made cocktails. He’s well dressed, articulate, can tell a great story, and most importantly; loves what he does. He comes up with great combinations, makes his own tinctures, & i am sure that everywhere he goes, he finds inspiration for flavor combos. Passion people! It’s the key to everything.
I can only hope it doesn’t get TOO popular so i can still find a space to sit and relax.
