===Snug===
The "snug" was a small private room or area, typically with access to the bar and a frosted glass window above head height. Customers in the snug paid a higher price for beer and nobody could look in and see the drinkers. Not only did wealthy visitors use these rooms, but also patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies often enjoyed a private drink in the snug in a time when many frowned on women visiting a pub. The local police officer might nip in for a quiet pint, the parish priest for his evening whisky, or lovers for a rendezvous.

The [[Campaign for Real Ale]] (CAMRA) has surveyed the 50,000 pubs in Britain and it believes that there are very few pubs that still have classic snugs. These are on a historic interiors list in order that they can be preserved.<ref name=snug>[http://www.heritagepubs.org.uk/pubs/historic-pub-interior-entry.asp?pubid=11047 Derbyshire – Spondon, Malt Shovel] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821213344/http://www.heritagepubs.org.uk/pubs/historic-pub-interior-entry.asp?pubid=11047 |date=21 August 2014 }}, Heritagepubs, CAMRA.
