Get Your Mojo On

It's always pleasing when new venues open up in these tough times for the trade, and so here at Drinks from Wales we were pleased to be invited along to look at North Cardiff's latest offering - the Mojo Lounge in Birchgrove.

Styling itself as a Tapas and Cocktail venue, and taking up residence in the former Blockbuster video store, it is great news to see dedicated owners making an investment in the High Street and bringing a different hospitality experience to the area.

I popped along on an evening where the owners had invited local traders for a little peek before tonight's main opening - a great idea by the way.

The style of the bar was pretty good and they have done a nice job on the interior.

The emphasis is on casual but refined eating and drinking, with a Tapas menu and a range of cocktails and wines including the Espresso Martini

and the Tropical Heath...

and with a few premium lagers and ciders on tap the only thing missing is some quality craft ales - but wait, that's in the pipeline too - so watch this space for some good Drinks from Wales appearing soon !

The owners are friendly, and this is definitely a venue worth a visit in the coming months when it's up and running - and I'll go try out the full experience and report back...

Oh, and the olives were pretty good....

All in all this is a venue you should try, and I certainly will be back to sample the squid and prawns at some point in the near future ! Go on, get your Mojo on sometime soon...
