Rooted in the Kirkwood Community Since Day One
Madison Paugh, our owner and operator, opened The Rusty Mug with a clear vision: to create a gathering place where neighbors could unwind, share a meal, and feel genuinely welcomed. Located conveniently on US-11, we're easy to find whether you're coming from Port Dickinson, Johnson City, Endicott, or anywhere in between.
You'll notice the rustic modern vibe the moment you walk in—wooden accents, checkered basket liners, and a laid-back atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile. It's the kind of place where you can catch up with friends over wings and drafts, enjoy live music bingo on Wednesdays, or belt out your favorite song during Saturday night karaoke.
We're proud to support the people who serve our community, which is why we offer special discounts for veterans, first responders, and police officers. It's one small way we give back to those who give so much.
