A mug with your name on it.
A year of being a regular.
$99 of dues.
Nine real perks.
Perks apply at every Stage Stop location — current and future. Beer perks valid at our brewery partners’ taprooms. For the full breakdown of every benefit at every location, see the perks reference.
Numbered ceramic mug
Hand-numbered with your name. Real ceramic, not promo plastic. Ships in 7 days. Mug #874 just shipped, so you'll know roughly where you're queued.
$1 off every brewery draft
At every Stage Stop location. Show the mug or your phone. Stacks across visits — no monthly cap.
Free side with every entrée
Mac, slaw, beans, greens, cornbread, anything on the side line. Counts as your second side on plates — so you get a third for $3 instead of $5.
Double points always
Free tier earns 1 point per $1. You earn 2. 100 points = $10 reward. Birthday month: triple points.
Free birthday meal
Any entrée up to $22. Free side comes free anyway. The bar staff is briefed to ruin your composure with a small Eve-signed card.
Pit Master Tastings · free
First Tuesday of every month at The Cantina. Five-course tasting, Eve hosts. Free for members ($25 otherwise). 30 seats — Mug Club gets first booking.
BOGO Tuesdays
Buy any sandwich, get a second 50% off. Mug Club only. Drives a slow weekday at the partner breweries — they love it.
Quarterly sauce drop
A new sauce every three months, Mug Club only. Shipped to your door or pickup at your home location. Last one was a smoked-coffee bourbon BBQ — sold out the public release in two weeks.
Early access to ticketed events
Pit Master Tastings, beer-pairing dinners, live music ticketed nights. Mug Club gets the email 48 hours before public release. Most paid events sell out before the public window opens.
For most members, $99 pays back in 14 weeks.

Numbers from Year-1 member data, average member. Heavier visitors net materially more. Mug itself not counted.
If you eat with us more than once a month, the math works.
The numbers above are conservative — they assume an average member at average frequency. Mug Club members visit 3.4× more often than non-members on average, and the sauce drop alone is worth ~$45/year in retail value (you pay $0).
The mug itself is a nice object. We’re not charging extra for it. We just like making it.
Walk in. Three minutes. Done.
Ask any bartender, server, or cart lead. They'll take your $99 (annual) or $9 (first month) via Toast, set your phone number as your member ID, and your perks fire on the next order. Your numbered mug ships to the location within 7 days.

Sign-up happens through Toast Loyalty at point of sale. Same perks, same math as listed above. Online signup arrives once we’ve validated demand.
We’ll tell you the second online signup opens.
Once we’ve seen real in-person signup volume, we’ll flip on the online flow — $99 a year or $9 a month, auto-renew, gift option, refer-a-friend, the whole thing. Drop your email and you’ll be the first to know.
No marketing emails before then. No clever sequence. One message when we’re live, that’s it.
Online signup is coming soon. Drop your email and we’ll let you know the moment it’s live — usually quicker than waiting for the next time you stop in.
What members say.
Pulled from 30-day post-renewal surveys. Names lightly anonymized.
“My wife and I were eating here twice a month anyway. The math is obvious. The mug is a real ceramic thing. The sauce drop alone is worth it.”
“I'm in the Mash Mechanix mug club and the Stage Stop one. Both work at the bar — $1 off two drafts × twice a week × a year = obvious.”
“The Pit Master Tastings sold me. Three hours with Eve, five courses, $0. I learned to glaze a rib from the chef who wrote the recipe.”
