OoOoh the Ugly Mug, what more could you ask for in a dive bar?! Â Empty barstools, save a few regulars.. A menu consisting of minimal food options promising maximum heartburn and, of course, A staff that at first entrance wouldnt care if you walked in topless or in a money suit, they still wouldnt give a damn. Â But, that's exactly what we were expecting from an establishment called, The Ugly Mug.
You enter, you sit, you order a basic draft beer,, and THen,, the magic begins... Â
ou can have a conversation in your own head, without being bothered.. Or, you can converse loudly with old friends, without being bothered.. You can order food you'd never eat in public and enjoy it, privately.. And then just as soon as your done with your "dont bother me" time, Thats when the waitress chimes in and asks if you need a refill, or second or third or however far in drink-land you are and she come's into the picture Just in Time.. Surprisingly friendly and far more welcoming then when you first entered. Â Then the random conversation with other ugly muggers begins and all of sudden you're in a world all of your own. Â A wonderful world, free of rules, clocks and sunlight (which you don't often realize until you leave to see that the sun's still shining, or maybe in some cases- shining once again.. It's called a Dive Bar. Â You don't come here for the cleanliness, the service and definitely not for the food. Â You go to Dive bars for the Experience, whether it be the alone time you need or the new friends you make. Anything goes at a dive bar, and with my short time in Florida, I'd have to say that the Ugly Mug is on the list of the best.
The Ugly Mug...that about sums it up. I think they're the only place in the area that stays open after 2am. And just like your momma told you- 'nothing good happens after midnight', and its even worse here.
It is the perfect dive bar for those nights when you just want to keep going. Good beers on tap, juke box, pool table, Philly cheese steaks? Yup, Philly cheese steaks. I didn't try one, but they looked amazing. Cheers!
Got barred from this fraudulent shithole for posting negative review on Yelp. Now the bartenders talk shit about me to anyone that will listen. What comes around goes around. Looking forward to seeing the Feds shut this rip off place down! Don't order top shelf booze, you'll be drinking well! You assholes want to continue to trash me to your customers, well it works both ways. It's ON!
Review Source:I don't get what everyone is so upset about. The place is called UGLY MUG! what do you expect? well I found myself there last night because it was after 2 and didn't feel like going home yet. I kept my expectations low. Â The drinks were strong. the food was greasy typical bar food. I ordered the mozzerella Sticks, chicken tenders and french fries. Perfect at 3am! There was a live band that was pretty good. and the people were friendly. Well, i can't comment to staff because I didn't interact with them much, but over all, I had a good time.
Review Source:I have been going there for years because it's the only bar open til 5am & some night you just don't get started til about midnight. Â That is the only good thing about this bar. Â It's filthy, the bartendars are the BIGGEST ASSHOLES, they rip everyone off and I'd rather be home by 2:30 a.m. then ever go there again. Â Oh, and btw... don't ever walk outside to talk to someone. Â There is no sign saying not to go outside and I was talking to the bouncer there and the asshole bartender comes outside and SNATCHES my $7 drink from my hand and spills half of it. Â When I go inside I asked what that was for and he was nasty saying "you can't be outside with a drink". Â When I told him all he had to do was say that and I would have gone inside, the BITCH bartender started giving me an attitude & some other asshole at the end of the bar chimes in. Â NOW... all I did was go in for one drink and I have 3 people yelling at me treating me like shit and I didn't do anything! Â CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE TREATING YOUR CUSTOMERS LIKE THAT??? Â I've contacted the city to place a complaint against the bar and the employees. Â And I'll continue to do so until someone does something to let these idiots know you can't treat people like crap and expect them to take it! Â
***** TOTAL SHITHOLE **** DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEY ****
Have to say this place was awesome, and exceeded my expectations. I came in here, after spending a long intoxicated night on Atlantic. I was hungry, and needed food. I ordered a chicken fingers and a pizza, and it satisfied my every desire!!! Played some pool, had a couple more beers, and the night was perfect.
Review Source:I have driven by this place innumerable times whenever I visit family in Delray Beach. Â However, I finally went in one afternoon.
What immediately impresses (?) are the barstools. Â Virtually every single one has split leather occasionally patched by duct tape, but more often, reflective of complete neglect.
Smoking is pervasive.
With ten beers on tap, one would expect something beyond six lite beers and nothing of unusual interest. The crowd here obviously wants their beer cheap and common.
With an outside advertisement of  "Philadelphia cheese steaks", I ordered one (moderately expensive at $9+). What arrived was a cheese steak on a roll that could only be described as a hog dog bun/Wonderbread souless effort.  Hot peppers are limited to jalapenos. It is obvious that they have never been to Philadelphia,PA.
To complete the culinary experience, the service was between lukewarm and terminally comatose.
Obviously, a return trip will not be forthcoming.
First month in Florida...
Me "The bar is closing, I guess we have to go home"
Friend "It's 2:00 already"
(strangers chime in) "The Ugly Mug is one of two places that is open late night in Delray"
Let me tell you folks... that is the only reason you will end up there. Â
"The Ugly Mug" Where no mug is ugly....
THE GOOD:
There are pool tables and game machines (Photo Finder calls to my anti-social side)
Open until 4am
Always cabs
Decent prices on pitchers
THE UGLY:
The crowd
The inside
The outside
