Mugs Sports Bar & Grill

In my opinion, this local favorite used to be the premier wing spot for Pinellas County. The full size wings were thickly breaded, crunchy, and always cooked to perfection. The signature sauces were to die for and the blue cheese was made in house. Unfortunately, all of these things have changed. Not sure of the root cause but, it has become just another sports bar. The portions are noticeably different and I can't tell the difference between the naked and breaded option. The wing sauce has been switched to a less dense, recipe that lacks flavor. The nuclear sauce was barely noticeable. The establishment it self hasn't changed much over the years and is very spacious, with a back room for larger parties and still hosts Karaoke on Monday and Thursday nights. The dining room was extremely hot and I think the air conditioner may have been on the fritz. Let's hope this is not the new norm. As always the service was excellent. We were lucky enough to score a new server that just relocated from New Jersey! Hell Yeah! Fogettaboutit! I guess all I can say is this was a real disappointment. If you want average food or you are with a large group looking for Karaoke, this place is the spot. MUGS AND JUGS- We miss you!

Awful service at the bar, they stopped serving soup, discontinued their loyalty program, and have barely any taps behind the bar. The bathroom is also always dirty and they have completed destroyed bar stools in use.

The bar an unofficial rally for Washington Commanders. Which was cool! However, the food was not up to par for me! How do u mess up fried chicken wings? Well they did! No seasoning whatsoever on them. Plus the waitress dropped one of the wings on the floor. We paid for 15 wings! We had to ask the waitress for our extra wing! Especially since u have to pay 99 cents for the sauces! Our friend had some brisket tacos and said the meat was chewy! One of my other friends had some sweet potato tots he said was good. We had some loaded tots. They were pretty good. A couple of friends ordered margaritas that were watered down. Anyway we were a bit disappointed. Maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed! The place was big, otherwise and of course loud! Which was expected!

There were 3 of us here on business travel and first time here on Monday for dinner. There was nothing good about this place. We left more food on the table than what we ate...slow service and there were only 3 other occupied tables....wish we had went somewhere else.

I sat in the bar near the outdoor patio area. NFL playoffs were happening. It was a loud crowd of locals. The service was good. The food was okay. The beer was cold, but so was the temp outside. I ordered the Sunday BBQ special. The Pulled pork was heavily prepared (not my fav). The Ribs were the best part of the meal. The Brisket was a little dry. The beans were not sweet for BBQ baked beans. The green beans were good.If I come back, I'll get the Jack Daniels Burger or the same but double ribs and no pulled pork. This is definitely a locals dive bar hang out. If you are looking for that atmosphere, this is your place.

Just got 10 bone on no bread wings to go , it's been a long time since I've been here , but the wings are not like I remember, small small small , we used to call the old mugs wings seagulls wings they were so big, oh well I guess inflation doesn't work in wings

Called ahead to see if they could accommodate a very large party. Although they said yes, it wasn't the case. There was about 50 of us and one waitress. There was no organization. Someone said that they only had one cook but that could have been managed had we at least had drinks and an organized, friendly, fully dressed waitress. Some people in my party got food after around 45 minutes while others got theirs after one hour and 45 minutes. Mine never showed up and the waitress was rude when I told her to delete the phantom food from our bill. Two hours later I'm hungry, thirsty and annoyed.

The burger was very dry. My husband said that the wings were good.The kitchen messed up and the MIT didn't seem to care.There are a lot better places to go in the area.

I have to say this is pretty much a dive bar with music. Service is not always great but I thought it was a convenient place to stop for a beer or two and hear music. Until this last visit. A friend and I were sitting at a high top table and despite what my mother always told me, I had my elbows on the table. Next morning I woke with these abrasions on my elbows. At first I thought 'what did I do yesterday to cause this?' I walked through my day over and over to determine what I might have caused these painful sores. And then my friend, who only had one elbow on the table sent me a pic of her elbow with the exact same abrasion. Mugs, whatever chemicals you're using on your tables, they are dangerous enough to cause painful chemical burns. Stop using them!

For a "dive bar" the food, drinks, service and prices can't be beat. Open air so it's hot but definitely worth it!! This is my second night coming here during my business trip and it doesn't disappoint.
