River road Snuggery

In the lower left corner, located at 801 N. River Rd. in McHenry along the Fox River, the original Snug Harbor Tavern started in the early 1930s and was under new management in October 1938 by Albert Henry Watson (1867-1951) and Walter Schimmel (1882-1957). In April 1947, new owners Carl Springman (1905-1968) and Paula Springman (1912-1973) changed the name to Snug Harbor Inn. Then in the late 1950s it was owned by Zoe Rutherford (1925-1998) and Bernice Raedeke (1918-2006) through 1981. Most recently, the restaurant was purchased by Ala Carte Entertainment in 2009 and in 2011 changed its name to Snuggery.
