LARKINS SNUG

A SMALL COZY ROOM WITH A HATCH, PERFECT FOR PRIVATE DRINKS AND DINING.

Snug: “a small private room or compartment in a pub”

Snugs were first built in Irish pubs in the early to middle 19th Century. It was a place where the wealthy went for the privacy. But, it was not only the well off visitors who would use these rooms. The snug was for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies would often enjoy a private drink in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for ladies to be in a pub. The local police officer would stop in for a quiet pint, the parish priest would stop by for his evening whiskey, and lovers would use the snug for their clandestine visits.

FINE & FRESH INGREDIENTS IN A PERFECT SETTING

In addition to the snug, we have tables in the bar area and our very popular Music Room. With photographs of local musicians on the walls, and host to our fabulous Sunday sessions. You can relax with a delicious roast beef and a pint of Guinness, or whatever your tipple of choice may be!
