A snug is only as troublesome as the people inside it.  As you look around, the enclosed table areas you see are snugs.  Snugs gained popularity in 18th Century Ireland, where a pub partron would pay more to sit in the privacy of a snug.  Local politicians, traders, and secret lovers would use the snugs for their clandestine meetings.  At Olde Blind Dog, it's perfect if you'd like a quieter spot to eat, drink and chat with your group.  Slip into a snug and have a pint.  It'll be our little secret.
