Welcome to 18th century !!
The decoration is really interesting … old style beer mugs, dark, 18th century –style, rooms and etc.Overall, I can say that it was a great drinking experience.

A cosy cavern!
Part of Davy's Tooley Street Empire, the Mug House is a charming and "characterful" little pub. But, much the same character as any other Davy's bar you've ever been in!There is quite an emphasis on wine here, with an impressive, if over priced list. Davy's Bitter and Old Wallop are kept reasonably well (if you wonder why it's called Old Wallop go have half a dozen pints and you'll understand. A session beer it ain't!) They also do their own lager which is surprisingly good, and that's coming from a chap who just don't do lager.Good lunch menu though it is expensive and you don't get much for your money.I like the place, but if you've been anywhere else, be it the Cooperage, Skinkers, Shampagne Sharlie's (or Champagne Charlie's. You can have it one way or t'other. That goes for you too Sean Bean. Or Shorn Born. Make y'damn mind up! Incidentally, I strongly advise you to go to one or all of the above. See review on Skinkers, to follow) then you're not going to have an especially new experience.So. Do go for the quirky atmosphere (beer from a pewter tankard keeps much better! Note that lager boys. If you want to keep your tasteless p*ss fizzy so you can merrily burp your way home on the night bus, invest in a pewter pot.)Don't go if you want a: a cheap night out or b: to drink y'main stream Fosters and John Smiths and other such grot - here it's Davy's way or the high way.Davy's do what they do, and they do it well. You are guaranteed a unique experience. In any one of Davy's 9 identical bars.

Yarrrrr!
My visit to No.1 Mug House was really interesting. Old silver[?] mugs, dusty bottles of wine plus the interior design, lighting and over all atmosphere of this place make you feel like your in the set of Treasure Island movie and Long John Silver and Captain Flint (his parrot) are going to walk in any second. That's what I was thinking after a pint of incredibly strong Davy's Ale!Anyway... To cut it short, my drinking experience in the Mug House was interesting enough to go back and pick something from their tempting lunch menu.
