Editorial Review for MugShots – by Tara Fatemi
In Short
Originally a house built in 1872, the unusual structure features stone walls and soothing wood. The bar counter and main floor are from original 19th century material. Tables in several small rooms create privacy, and amenities include foosball and pool. A photo booth gives customers the chance to capture their evening and the images are posted throughout the bar. Low-priced wells and more than 25 bottled beers and are available, but wine is limited.

Iv'e been trying to find bars where i don't have to be surrounded by frat daddys and sorrostitutes, can relax, and actually afford to get a little drunk and have a decent conversation. Drink prices are awsome for 6th and my bartender was great.
Pros: good drinks and people, good atmosphere

I've been going to this bar for almost two years now and I've never had a bad time there. Never too crowded and the regulars are great! Bartenders are friendly and fast. They have plenty of beers and always something you've probably never heard of. Jukebox is the reason I came back to this bar, great music! All in all, there is no doubt that mugshots is my favorite bar downtown!!
Pros: atmosphere, music, people, drink prices
Cons: I don't live closer, lol
