More infoThe Snug has served the neighbourhood since 1954, though 'neighbourhood' is doing some work, because this stretch of Beach Drive has Mount Baker filling the window and the open strait doing the rest. It's technically a pub: local taps, elevated pub plates, a fireplace for grey days and a patio for the good ones. As first dates go, the scenery covers any conversational pauses with zero effort from you.
The textbook low-pressure first date, grab the fireside seats on a grey day or the patio on a good one, order a couple of elevated pub plates and local taps, and let the view of Mount Baker and the strait quietly cover any silences. Walk-in easy and open daily, so budget a relaxed 90 minutes. Oak Bay Village and the beach are right there to stretch the date out.
