What People Are Saying About Mug Lounge
Featured Review

In Short – This casual wine spot is bedecked in global accents, with colorfully cushioned banquettes, art posters of Chagall and Kandinsky, and tapestries draped from brick walls. The informal air of mismatched tables and chairs draws neighborhood locals, who drop in for Internet access or independent and international movie nights on the flat-screen TV. Paninis and sweet snacks share menu space with beer and wines from around the world.

Great bachelorette party!
by Andrea311
We started my friend's bachelorette party night at Mug. Michael the owner was so helpful! He had the back corner of the lounge reserved and we had excellent service! Perfect place for large parties or just a chill place to have a drink! Love this place!
Horrible Experience! Ruined my event...
by coffeebaby
I booked a private party in honor of an artist who passed away. I was promised the back room for 3 hours to show a video and have people speak. I spoke to the owner, Michael, on the phone and was assured everything was set and I could send out invites. Three days before the event I called just to check on things and was told the room had been booked by a wedding reception who paid for an open bar and that we could not have the private room. I was told I could go to another nearby lounge for the start of our party and then return to mug lounge at 10:30 after the wedding reception was over. Our entire party walked over promptly at 10:30 carrying trays of food and we were told that the other party had extended their hours and that we could not come inside. When I spoke to the owner I was told that "business is business" and unless we could pay for an open bar there was nothing he could do. The other party was also extremely rude and a fight almost broke out between my guests and theirs because they were telling people rudely to get out of the club when they were just arriving for the party and had no idea it had been double booked. The owner was totally rude and unapologetic to me about ruining my event. I read somebody else's review here about the owner doing the same thing on another occasion and should have listened. In the future I will pay more attention to reviews! Do not ever book a party at Mug Lounge. Total disappointment
Best lounge ever
by myaB
I have become the biggest fan of Mug and one of its most frequent visitors! I had gone to a friend's birthday party here in March and was so shocked I'd never been before! The place is super fun with a great bar area, super friendly bartenders and then a separate room for dancing/lounging. Not only does it not get crowded, but it's also a large enough space that it could handle the crowds. This is the ultimate party spot and I almost think I shouldn't post this review so it stays my secret little gem. I recommend this place to anyone looking to kick back a few drinks, enjoy some reggae, hip-hop, top 40's tunes, and dance their booties off. No matter what you're in the mood for, Mug caters to all.
- Pros: Reasonable drinks, Great Music, No cover
I love this place!
by Bridgetann
Mug Lounge is the best! I found it a couple of months ago walking down the street. It is fairly close to my apartment so I come here all the time now! It is a great place. I love the mis-matched sixties style furniture. They have great wines and top shelf liquors. The staff is friendly and they remember me every time I come back! It is the perfect place to sit back, relax and have some drinks!!!!
- Pros: Great atmosphere and drinks!!!
Best Lounge around
by ptomanel
I love driving into the city from Long Island, and I always know that there will be great people and conversations at Mugs. My friends and I can always find a great hot spot but end our Saturday nights at Mugs. If we are around during the week or early on the weekend we end up at Mugs. The music is always good, and the owner and his wife always treat us well. Stop off and enjoy a comfortable hanging spot!
- Pros: Always find a spot to park, love the ambience, enjoy the people, this could be a romantic place, this could be a cool hangout
