What is a snug in a pub?

Answer 1

Snugs were first built in Irish pubs in the early to middle 19th Century. You paid a higher price for your beer

in the Snug, but nobody could see you. It was not only the well off visitors who would use these rooms. The

snug was for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies would often enjoy a private drink

in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for ladies to be in a pub. The local police officer would nip in

for a quiet pint, the parish priest for his evening whiskey, and lovers would use the snug for their clandestine

visits.
