#112: Snug, Opposite of a Scrum (ft. Jeanne and Paul Matthews)

In this episode, we sit down with Jeanne (“Martini Jeanne”) and Paul Matthews, the family behind The Uptown Snug—a one-of-a-kind pub and coffee shop experience in Uptown Marion. Paul shares how his Irish roots, years playing rugby in Cedar Rapids, and a vision for authentic pub culture helped shape the Snug into what it is today. Jeanne—aka Martini Jeanne—the steady force behind the scenes, gives us a look at the growth of the Uptown Marion community and the energy building around it.
