Editorial Review for Snake Pit – by Jeff Fox
In Short
The Snakepit sports a way-lower-than-chic but way-higher-than-dive atmosphere and crowd. Patrons can choose from the full bar and the impressive selection of beer, including a large number of imported brews on tap. Those looking for good a bite won't be disappointed by the spicy buffalo wings or other bar-food favorites.

Happy HourMonday-Friday, 3pm-7pm. Get discounts on beers and well drinks.
The ExtrasSeating becomes limited on the weekends and it can get a bit loud during popular televised sporting events, but the comfortable atmosphere and great service compensate.

When we walked in they have this projector screen TV thats in your face to watch games!! We were were in bar heaven!! The bar display went way up to the ceiling, the drinks are reasonably priced and so is the food, my date had the burger which she loved and I had the pizza which put me in shock cause it was HUGE. I had to take some home cause it could feed three people @ six something a pop . They have this makeout couch where we ended up!!!!!!!!!!!! We drove by it twice cause its low key with a neighborhood bar vibe

1st post - just had to come to the defence of The Pit. When I moved to Melrose from the UK a few years back I was desperate to find a local unpretentious bar I could feel at home in. The day I walked into the pit I knew I had found it. It is a without question a regulars bar and it may be fair to say they don’t put out the bunting for strangers but there is a method to the madness. If you put in the time you can find yourself welcomed into a wonderfully eclectic group of interesting people and for me that is what this bar is about. That and a great selection of beers, an internet linked jukebox and the finest Buffalo wings I tasted in 2 years in LA. The bar staff have all been there for ever and sure, if (particularly) T or Marina are having a bad day you may know about it, but for me that just makes it all the more real, no pretensions or false niceness and amongst all that is fake close by, I love the place for that. If you are the type to think it is acceptable to talk on your cell whilst trying to get served though, you could be waiting a long time.
