That sounds lovely, doesn't it? Who doesn't want a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy their favorite libation far from the madding crowd? Traditionally a snug would be a small, private room with a frosted glass external window where people could drink without being seen, frequently it was reserved for the wealthy, and the beer was a higher price. It was also used by anyone who wished to enjoy a drink without being seen, for example ladies would imbibe in the snug when it was unseemly for them to be seen drinking in public. The snug also offered a private haven for the local police officers or priests who didn't wish to be seen drinking. At times a snug would also be a discreet place for a romantic tryst, where the lovers could have privacy. There are very few traditional  snugs left in the public houses of Ireland and Britain, but this long-standing tradition won't die, thanks to The Celtic Ranch and our own Terry Kast. Charmed by the whole concept of the snug, Terry and her team of ranchers have been diligently preparing a snug for your enjoyment. It will feature a wide array of whiskey, scotch, and beers, as well as a delightfully quiet atmosphere in which to enjoy your favorite drink.
