Ugly Mug

Walk past the unassuming frontage on Church Lane and you'll find yourself in something refreshingly real. Ugly Mug doesn't dress things up or lean into Instagram theatre; it's just solid drinks made by people who actually know what they're doing, decent music, and a crowd that comes here because they want to, not because they've read about it somewhere. The kind of place where regulars have their usual and newcomers feel immediately welcome, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. You're getting proper bar craft without the pretension.
