Pretty straightforward, I suppose. I'm having trouble finding the right class/archetype/feat combos, but I know what I want to do with my cleric levels.
I'm looking for this character to be optimized but I can't compromise my RP concept. So I basically just want to optimize the character as much as possible, without giving up the flavor.
Well, first the feats that let you use improvised weapons:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/improvised-weapon-mastery-combat ---final
I would suggest taking a dip in Monk of the Empty Hand, not too awful since you'd get Wis to AC w/o armor (nice for a swashbuckler?), but you can't flurry even with special monk weapons in that archetype, just the improvised weaps.
How important is fighting to you though? If you're just gonna wave them around and cast spells, it's not a big problem. If you have a generous DM, he'll let you flavor a light hammer as a mug (not just any mug maybe, but this special mug you carry around? Make a trait of it? That's not in RAW though).
Wait...do you even want to TWF with the mug? That's gonna make your character pretty MAD with Str, Dex, Wis, and of course you'll need Con. You could just wave it around while you fight maybe.
If you want to TWF as a Cleric with an Improvised Weapon and be good at it, well...only merciful houseruling can save you.
I can't think of anything else, but it would probably help to post what you have so far in case other people do have ideas.

1) Get the Rough and Ready Trait, take Profession Brewer or Bartender.
Congrats you now have proficiency in Bar weaponry.
2) Take 2 Weapon Fighting
3) Steel Mug and use the cleric option of CC to have your create water, produce ale instead.
4) Drunkedly be Awesome!
Either inquisitor or cleric work for this build.

Gods and Magic: A small portion of Cayden's priests are bards.
Bard (Dex>Cha>Con=Int=Str>Wis)
Bards are MAD when you add Two Weapon Fighting. I made a bard with this idea in mind for the CoT AP. Hardly ever got to use the two weapon fighting. But loved the character. Bards have other things they need to take care of. Alot of self buffing charaters action economy is tight. This gose for the bard as well. With the advantage of your main combat buff is not self only.
There might be something for ya here. Well, I know there is, because I wrote it. Dwarven Mug can be used as a mug (makes its own good quality ale!) and a light mace. Plus, can make swift action Dirty Tricks if there's booze in it! Refluff it to be Cayden instead of dorfs, and you're gold!
Or! Treat a mug as a buckler! And swash it.
An Evangelist cleric would be nifty for this. Drunkingly slur your words of encouragement, and give everyone some ale with Create Water!
Refluff shield as a mug.
Unless you know you are adventuring with a bard, I would go for Evangelust support cleric.
Just yell "cheers" for the Inspire Courage, and spill drinks when enemies try to hit your allies (Bodyguard). Rough and Ready lets you have +1 for the Aid Another attempts with Bodyguard, so there is an actual (mechanical) reason to keep it in your hand even if you are not actually TWFing. Basic tactics would be just fighting in the easy fights and using "Bit of Luck" & Spells in rough fights.
