Review of Mojo from 18 January 2012

MOJO is easily one of my favourite bars in my favourite city. MOJO is full of Wonderful (handsome) bar staff who are extremely helpful. I once lost my bag (my own drunken fault) and they came to my rescue and helped me find it.
The cocktails are delicious are reasonably priced and their selection of rums is to die for.
You are guaranteed a party atmosphere where the alcohol flows and the good times roll. No matter what music you are interested into; they cater for all.
I could go on for hours about how much I love this bar, but I’ll just end with this:
If you like fun and having a good time then go to MOJO.

Review of Mojo from 2 March 2011

A neat little bar with super friendly staff and a wide variety of drinks available. When I went in the Small Faces were playing on the stereo which made the perfect impression. The guy behind the bar was happy to chat when he wasn't serving and told us loads about the place,m the drinks, the history, the staff.... He couldn't have been more helpful or chatty yet never invaded our space - that's a great talent for a barman. I only spent a shot time here but felt it was the sort of place I could have settled down in for a whole solid evening.

Literally my favourate bar in the world! Lovely staff, very chatty and brillient at making cocktails. Great choice of drinks, and a reasonsble price for the amazing quality. Best place for both quiet drinks after work on week days or a night out at the weekend. Fab :)

Review of Mojo from 17 August 2010

Absolutely love this bar.

The bar staff are friendly, kind and full of suggestions of things to drink. They make the absolute best cosmopolitans in Yorkshire.

The cocktail menu is extensive, with something to suit absolutely everyone. As well as the rums mentioned, they have a great selection of tequlias and vodkas - great for enthusiasts. The drinks on offer cover every sort of cocktail imaginable in various colours, things that flame, glow and taste out of this world.

Clientele are always friendly and every time we go we end up having a chat to some random people who are also there and enjoying every minute!

The music is always great and a varied selection from the 1950s to today with a more rock and indie bent to it. There will be stuff you don't know and stuff you do and also some songs that you think you might know... there's a large screen behind the bar that tells you what the song is anyway to help you along!

Brilliant night out in this bar - it starts off quiet and friendly and the night ends raucously, packedly and always rather merry!

Review of Mojo from 18 July 2010

MOJO is one of the best rock n roll cocktail bars in Leeds. Offering the finest alcohol, the best music and the friendliest of staff, MOJO is a hidden gem. Located on Merrion Steet, MOJO Leeds is one of four MOJO bars located in the North (and overseas) – other bars in Liverpool, Manchester and Barbados.

It’s the perfect little bar to catch up with friends early evening or sup cocktails and dance the night away to their jukebox of awesome tunes. The décor is amazing with every wall packed with a history of music including old records, music posters and a huge Beatles canvas that stretches across one wall.

During my visit I went to a Cocktail Masterclass for my friends 21st. We were taken to the Rhum Room where we were greeted by two of the lovely MOJO staff who looked after us all night. To start with we were given a delicious cocktail and were introduced to the evening’s cocktail menu of what we were going to make.

We were then split up into two teams and had a Cocktail sensory test. We were given several small tubs filled with different spirits which we had to smell and guess what they were. The winning team won a shot of Jagermeister!

This was then followed by a Cocktail demonstration unlocking the secrets of great cocktail making. With our new found skills my friends and I had the opportunity to whip up some cocktails ourselves including; Whisky Sour, Mai Tai, Rum Punch and White Lady. It was so much fun, plus we got to taste them afterwards!

For the grand finale we were shown how to make a mojito, and we all had a go at making our own. The MOJO guys judged our drinks to find the best mojito and the winner (luckily the birthday girl) won a professional MOJO Cocktail Set.

It was a great night and was something really different - It made her 21st birthday that bit special. It’s also a great idea for stag and hen dos or just for a change, so book now because I heard they have become very popular. Check out their website for more info.

For the Cocktail Masterclass, available at all MOJO bars, it cost £25 each which lasts around 2-3 hours. Plus you drink what you pay so it’s well worth it! Definitely a bar to visit when in Leeds, Manchester or Liverpool… or if you’re lucky Barbados!

Review of Mojo from 23 February 2010

There are very few Mojo bars in the UK so it's good to have one in Leeds. Mojo takes the grassroots indie approach with it's choice of music and decor - and the first thing that hits you is the neon sign that says "Music for the People" (reflective of what they also have in their Manchester bar). Great bar with a good selection fo alcohol and always good music! Good stuff.

A must visit bar in Leeds. It has a great name on the professional bartending scene. Loads of choise on the back bar and the team make amazing drinks.

Review of Mojo from 18 March 2009

Regularly rated as one of the world’s best bars, but without the edge that you might expect with such a tag. Drinks by bar staff who know their stuff, music by bands in a similar vein.

Some brilliant nights have started and often ended here. Long may it remain a part of the Leeds bar scene.

Review of Mojo from 10 September 2008

Mojo is a cool trendy litte bar hidden down a side street at the top end of Leeds. Its a bit of an indie type place that plays some great tunes if you’re into that kind of music. They also have some great bottled beers and cocktails on the menu.
