On another note, what exactly is a "snug"? I saw the term "Mudcat snug" crop up here, and gathered it was a song circle. Then, on my travels in Ireland, I saw taverns with the name "snug." The Good Father explained to me that a snug was a part of a pub that was reserved for women, who weren't really supposed to be drinking at all. If a pub is a snug, does that mean men aren't allowed?

Is there a further explanation of the concept of "snug"?
