Ugly Mug<br />
If you really want to experience <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>May</strong>, make it a point to show your own mug (ugly or otherwise) at the Mug<br />
HIGHLIGHTS<br />
WHERE IS IT? In the heart of the<br />
charming Washington Street Mall.<br />
WHY SHOULD I GO? The Mug isn’t<br />
just a bar and restaurant that’s been<br />
around for over half a century; it’s<br />
a genuine local legend. Mugs hang<br />
from the ceiling, turned to face the<br />
sea when their respective Mug-loving<br />
owners pass on. Then there’s the<br />
famous Froth-Blowing Contest that’s<br />
been held since 1954. Whoever blows<br />
the most froth out of the glass wins<br />
a trophy — and, of course, serious<br />
bragging rights.<br />
The Mug is not only a classic,<br />
traditional bar — it’s a full-service<br />
family-friendly restaurant, too, offering<br />
a selection of appetizers, sandwiches<br />
and entrées which you may enjoy in<br />
three different ways...<br />
1. Nestle into the cozy wooden<br />
booths that now occupy both dining<br />
rooms in the Mug — perfect for a more<br />
intimate eating experience.<br />
2. Position yourself on one of the<br />
bar stools, and partake in the hottest<br />
dining movement of the moment —<br />
eating at the bar, while either catching<br />
up with the sports news on one of the<br />
flat-screen TVs, or conversing with the<br />
friendly bartenders.<br />
3. Seat yourself at an outdoor table<br />
on the patio overlooking the bustling<br />
Washington Street Mall, the ultimate<br />
people-watching spot in the city.<br />

Grilled Panini Sandwiches<br />
What goes better with a<br />

grilled sandwich? It’s the<br />
pub classic and there’s<br />
always a great selection at<br />
the Mug.<br />
