The bar tender/waitress was very rude. Seemed like she didn’t want to take our order. We waited at least 15 mins for her to come and take our order. She made us pay for everything upfront! She kept walking off while we were talking. I will take my drink to go. Since she didn’t want to refund me my money for a untouched drink.

So in the midst of pandemic, the waitress and cook were both not wearing masks. Furthermore, the cook was eating behind the bar and then proceeded directly to handling food without washing his hands or wearing gloves.

Definitely more of a bar than a restaurant. I ordered the gyro with fries and it was flavorless unfortunately. I'll come back later to try a drink. The service was pretty cool. The bartender was the sole waitress which put a lot on her.

This is a great little hole in the wall place, serving good greasy food and nice simple drinks. It is a place for the locals and carries all flavors of customers to mingle with - from businessmen, lawyers, and doctors to all of your "friends in low places." If you want a place to have fun or a place to relax with a drink, this is the place to go. Nice diner-style atmosphere, cozy bar on a cold night.

Went here for the #NationalDiveBarDay @seagrams7 Whiskey event. With an extensive Beer and Cocktail list, I am hesitant to call this place a typical dive bar. It is very loud in here, and the focus is the immense bar in the middle, and you can walk all the way around it. On the right side, there are more tables to order food, on the left side there are a few booths and tables for people that are focused more on drinks. Lots of large screen TV's to watch sporting events.Downtown location without the downtown feel, and decor. It is casual, but not like your neighborhood bar. Anyone dressed up or dressed down is welcome here.They do serve typical bar food such as: chicken tenders, buffalo wings, nachos, pizza, mushrooms, fries. They also serve a few choices of burgers, franks, and sandwiches. The food is okay, nothing special.For a no frills bar, a drink with friends, and bar food, stop on into Snickers Bar & Grill.

The patrons were super friendly and I'm sure the food and beer is good, but I came here last week with my bf and ordered a gin martini with a twist. The tall blond Russian bartender added a lemon wedge instead, which, ok it's a simple and common mistake. I used my pocket knife to cut my own twist from the lemon. Then, when she thought I wasn't looking, started to try to covertly flirt with my bf by winking at him and trying to mouth something to him. I just felt pretty disrespected and disappointed in her. Unfortunately I won't be back for that reason

Pricy for a neighborhood bar. I went in to get a quick burger and they got my order wrong. Literally the only person eating and they messed it up. Just go to Rock Bottom a street over - better ambiance, beer selection, bartenders, and food.

$10 for a well vodka and cranberry? In this place? I watched others pay for their drinks and I definitely got swindled. I'm not okay with that. This place could've received my biz for the next few days and every other time I'm in the city. Not anymore. You may be pretty, bartender, but you're not pulling a fast one on me. Shameful.

We just left after sitting at a table for 10 minutes, completely ignored by the waitress. She came to the table next to us 3 times and didn’t even acknowledge we were there. The place is fine for beer and basics, but certainly not worth sticking around for with that level of service.

Not following COVID-19 rules; tables and menus not wiped/bartender not wearing mask half the time. $12 cocktails and $8 blue moon draft pint. Only 5 or 6 beers on draft. Sandwich was served in a hot dog bun. Service is questionable. Totally overpriced for the 'old neighborhood dive sports bar' vibe it gives off, when you can go to places 5x nicer for the same amount. Feels like I got tricked to be honest.

This place never disappoints. Want to re-live your old college days and go to a late night, crowded dive bar with a friendly atmosphere? Then Snickers is the place for you. Love going here couple times year. Anymore than that would be too much though.

Got a good gyro super late on Christmas Eve which was a God send but $6 rolling rocks is a joke. And btw they are not an "import" like the receipt says. They are a trash domestic.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. The drinks were exactly as we wanted them, because we made a few changes. So, really appreciated the bartenders patience with us. She was really nice and down to earth. If I’m not mistaken her name was Ariadna. There should be more bartenders like her. The food was delicious and such big portions, which you don’t usually see in bars. We will come back for sure!

There was nothing that was particularly noteworthy about this bar/restaurant. I speak from limited experience, and perhaps I needed to spend a few hours to encounter a noteworthy event.I had no food, so also cannot rate the food.The service was okay.

Let's be clear this is not a dive bar. $10 for a mixed drink? Get outta here. Neighborhood bar is a better way to classify this place. The kind of bar you go to alone to get drunk before going to Christmas dinner with your family.
