Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Blue Mugge
Excellent backstreet local, with a variety of seating areas, side rooms and pool / darts facilities around the island servery (and altogether rather bigger inside than one might expect). All parts very traditional, but seemingly working well for mostly younger customers. Six real ales on offer when I visited, but it's a bit of a guessing game since the handpumps are distributed around the central bar-back rather than being on the various narrow counters. I went for the Burton Bridge anniversary Ruby Red (£3.20) but could happily have gone for several others.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Blue Mugge
Another excellent pub in the area and well worth a visit. The pub is traditional in every sense and the ales are pulled from the servery, this is why we couldn't see any handpulls on the bar counter. Prices were also good, their two guest ales from the Springhead Brewery, priced at £2.65, even though the Roaring Meg was at 5.5 abv. There was also a good choice of meals and all under £4. I went for a pint of Bass, which was top class. The owner told us his father bought the pub in 1976 and that the pub has always been a good community pub. Note! the pub does close at 3 until 6, even on a Saturday.

The Blue Mugge is a decent back street pub that is not too far from the town centre.
Once inside this pub there was a island bar with drinking areas around it i only had a quick visit here because the pub closes around 4.00 and i was the only customer in here.
There were two real ales on the bar that i could see and i had a very nice drink of Bass the other beer was Pedigree.
I thought this was a decent basic pub that i would happily visit again.

The Blue Mugge is on a Victorian housing-cum-industrial estate on the fringes of Leek. On my first visit here I circled the area several times on my bike before finding the pub, because it just doesn’t look like a pub at all (see picture). It’s just a street corner house, with a Tardis-like central bar and innumerable pictures of Queen Victoria. Beer range can be limited - only Bass when I was here last (July 2010) but it's an interesting and comfortable pub with a friendly atmosphere.
