Irish words by IrishFem
A "snug".. a snug is a small room off a lounge or bar in a pub, where you can drink with a little more privacy. You can't book them its first come first served. Most snugs have about 3 to 4 tables. Years ago in Dublin most women were not served in pubs or bars, in order to keep us in place snugs were build so we would not be seen. An Lar... which you will see on some buses means city centre. It does not always mean the bus in heading in that direction...
In some pubs you might see the following signs for toilets or rest rooms.: Mna or Fir
Mna means women and Fir is for Men.. I know it confusing... but thats the Irish for you..
