Snug
의미: A small, private room or area within a pub.
The snug is a small, enclosed area in a traditional pub—originally for women, children, or those wanting privacy. Separated from the main bar by partitions or screens. Few modern pubs retain snugs, making them a nostalgic feature of traditional establishments.
