It served a variety of drinks including blobfish grog.
History: (Avengers VII#32
(fb) - BTS) - The Davy Jones Saloon was built seven miles down into the
Mariana Trench to serve Atlanteans, although it displayed signs
requesting no Deviants, no wizards and no dogfish within.
(Avengers VII#32) - Namor the Sub-Mariner patroned
the Davy Jones Saloon, where he drank blobfish grog and thought about
the day he was crowned king of Atlantis, and how the
Abbot of the Abyss and his Octomonks
had come out of their recluse to bestow their blessings. He then
thought about how the seas were being damaged by the surface dwellers
and told the barkeep to sponge him another blobfish grog. The barkeep
(secretly disguised demon Mephisto) asked if Namor was having a rough
day. When Namor remarked on how both his Defenders of the Deep and the
surface world seemed to want war, the barkeep suggested warring with
the Avengers instead of the entire surface world, claiming the Avengers
had started the fight by invading Atlantis in the first place. The
barkeep/Mephisto then manipulated Namor, suggesting Namor form
alliances capable of assisting against the Avengers, later smiling as
Namor contacted the extraterrestrial Phoenix Force.

CLARIFICATIONS:
The Davy Jones Saloon has no known connections to:
The Abbot of the Abyss was based in a black abbey
deep within the mountain caverns of Atlantis and headed up the
Octomonks. He emerged with the Octomonks to attend Namor's coronation
as king of Atlantis.
--Avengers VII#32 (fb) - BTS
The Octopriests (originally called the Octomonks)
were a reclusive fundamentalist order led by the Abbot
of the Abyss that resided within a black abbey deep within the
mountains of Atlantis. They emerged to attend Namor's coronation
ceremony as king of Atlantis, where they chanted Kraken dirges and
bestowed their blessings. In the modern era, the Octopriests, along
with many other Atlantean factions, grew to think the rule of Namor the
Sub-Mariner's was riddled with failures. Teaming up with the anti-Namor
factions, including the marauding Sea Blades, the Defenders of the Deep
and the Black Tide, several Octopriests publicly challenged Namor's
rule. Before the challenge could be met with violence, however, the
mind-controlled Winter Hulk appeared and violently swatted aside the
challengers to focus her rage on Namor.
