Snug and Cellar runs two small rooms at 22 rue Droite in Vieux Nice: a ground floor snug the size of a living room, and a stone cellar below with a big screen. The beer list passes 60; the whiskey shelf passes 80.
Celticbars.com lists it in its world registry of Celtic supporter pubs, and the bar shows Celtic fixtures live alongside the major rugby and football calendar.
Tripadvisor holds it at 4.1 across 106 reviews. My Guide French Riviera calls it the only true gastro pub in Nice.
Upstairs is the snug: warm, wooden, a dozen seats and ex-pat regulars who treat it as a front room. Downstairs is the cellar: vaulted stone, the screen, and standing room on match nights.
English speaking ex-pats, Celtic supporters on fixture days, and travelers who found the place through the gastro pub reputation.
Evenings are lively but contained; the rooms are too small for chaos. Match days in the cellar are the exception.
Rue Droite runs the spine of the old town; the pub sits at number 22, four minutes from the cathedral tram stop.
Pair with Ma Nolan's by the Opera for the bigger screens, or Le Bethel two streets over for the quietest patio in Nice.
