Our Story...

Going back as far as 1620 when The Snug was built and known as "The Mansion House". Housing the family of Richard St George who was the Governor of Athlone town and the castle at the time. 

The Snug has survived the Great Famine, two World Wars and a Civil War. The pub was used for many local "private" meetings to help organise the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in 1884.

How did "The Snug" get its name.......
