I know very little about pubs, of course.
Public bar - cheapest drinks, frequented by hard-boiled male
working class beer drinkers; if there was only one room in a
pub, this was probably it. Women weren't usually actually
excluded, but it wasn't the nice place to go.
Lounge bar - more expensive, more middle class. Drinks a few
pennies more expensive, furniture a few pennies nicer. Where
the ladies went with their escorts.
Snug - small room, a couple of tables, no bar in this room
unlike the others.
This is all slightly old-fashioned. Bloody women go anywhere
these days, even without male companions what is the world
coming to?
