Mother Pug's Saloon

GREAT venue, even better staff. Prices are affordable for drinks. Parking is convenient less than a block away. Sound was awesome in the outdoor area where I saw some killer bands. A nice little gem in Staten Island

I did not have any food at the pub. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was light and fun. The staff were engaging and very friendly.

Went here after the UFC event in Newark. Didn’t know what to expect as I’m from Philly but had a great time. Cornhole outside on a nice night. Saw some comments on here saying people were not friendly. Did not experience that at all. The people I met were all very welcoming. Bartenders were great. Would recommend if you’re a down to earth type of person.

Loud bands, live music, free earplugs, 🍻, People are friendly... What more do you want? Billed as a dive bar, it's the pinnacle of it's depth.

Great dive with wide selection of beers. Live music often. Staff is great!

Your typical dive bar.. But when they want to close they kick you out regardless of what time the place is supposed to close

Thank You to Mother Pug's for hosting our 2 benefit shows!! We felt more than welcome, had every need met and the shows were a huge success!

Pretty good local bar, the drinks here are pretty cheap and they have enough bartenders where you never have to wait for a drink. They have good local bands, a great backyard area, and the stage in the backyard is perfect for the summer. All in all a really good time.

Staten Island‘s punk/hardcore dive bar.
It’s an awesome dive.
Great bartenders!
And the sound is Awesome!

There’s an outdoor smoking area in the back too.

Love the atmosphere here. The bartender was amazing & very helpful with drink recommendations. I attended an open mic night for "Don Od" & the music was FANTASTIC. The band had involved the audience in conversation & even to sing some of the lyrics. 10/10 would recommend, both the bar & the band!

Interesting place that I kind of stumbled upon while inside an island nice down-to-earth people pretend to seems nice to drinks were pretty good was surprised that they're open late and they also have live entertainment there from time to time. I'm looking I live in New Jersey but will definitely stop there when I band that I like plays there. Glad I got this place and will keep my eye on it as a place to go to when I'm in Staten Island

Live music almost every weekend and a great beer selection. Music is mainly rock/hard rock, but they have different themes (yacht rock, 80's rock), so check their instagram. They do have an open backyard if you want to chill. Bartenders are friendly, but they don't accept card. Drinks are cheap.

This bar is the hidden gem of Staten Island. The big guy bartender was nothing but a class act and offered some good conversation. The happy hour specials are decent. There are a couple dart boards in the bar. I always have a great time here. Cocktails and dreams

Favorite local dive bar. And when I say dive, I mean DIVE! Don't go in expecting that it's some hipster hang out made to look like a dive bar. It's legit trashed. Great live shows featuring rock, and punk bands, along with your occasional yacht rock and live band backed themed genre Karaoke. I know. WHAT?! Just go check it out and you'll see what I mean, rock star! Oh, and kick@ss bartenders serving all of your BASIC needs... You know, because it's a dive. You want a "mixologist" serving you $20 drinks? Go to Manhattan. This is not the place for you!

One of the best (and last...) venues on Staten island to see live bands. This place is amazing, the shows are always fantastic and they give everyone a shot. Come out and see a show, they cater to every genre.

Great bar, awesome bands and a cool backyard to chill in.

Popped in on a random Saturday and there was some old fashioned NYHC playing. Jeff does a great job of always making sure local bands have a place to play.

Beer is cold and cheap. There is an outdoor Tiki bar in the back.

My girlfriend lost her ring down the bathroom sink and the bartender pulled it apart and found it. Super relaxed place. I wouldn't call it a dive, this is a true neighborhood joint.

One of the best dive bars on SI. Awesome staff. Great drink choices. Good music. And live bands

Great environment, room for myltiple bands to put thier equipment. Super friendly bartenders
