El «snug» es una pequeña zona cerrada en un pub tradicional, originalmente destinada a mujeres, niños o quienes buscaban intimidad. Separada del bar principal por tabiques o mamparas. Pocos pubs modernos conservan snugs, lo que los convierte en un elemento nostálgico de los establecimientos tradicionales.

スナッグは伝統的なパブの小さな仕切られたエリアで、もともとは女性、子供、またはプライバシーを求める人のための場所でした。メインバーとは仕切りやスクリーンで分けられています。現代のパブでスナッグを残しているところは少なく、伝統的なパブの懐かしい特徴となっています。

스너그는 전통 펍의 작고 칸막이로 구분된 공간으로, 원래 여성, 어린이, 또는 프라이버시를 원하는 사람들을 위한 곳이었다. 칸막이나 스크린으로 메인 바와 분리되어 있다. 현대 펍에서 스너그를 유지하고 있는 곳은 드물어, 전통 펍의 향수를 자극하는 요소이다.
