Some mornings need caffeine.
Others need discipline.
This Mineshaft NYC Mug pulls straight from the basement of queer nightlife history — no fluff, no gloss, no rainbow-washing. One side features the iconic Mineshaft graphic: a leather-clad figure hoisting the club’s name like a challenge. Flip it around and you’re staring down the original 1978 Mineshaft dress code, printed word-for-word. No edits. No softening. Just rules.
This isn’t a cute Pride mug.
It’s a relic you can drink from.
Black ceramic, heavy in the hand, built for early mornings after late nights — whether you’re nursing a hangover, planning your next gear night, or just reminding yourself that standards matter. It belongs on workbenches, dungeon tables, office desks, and anywhere else respect is earned, not asked for.
Because some clubs didn’t want everyone.
And that was the point.
