Weekender: MOJO set to open Harrogate venue
Harrogate is set to become the latest Yorkshire town to welcome a MOJO bar; the fifth in the group.
MOJO will be taking up residence on Harrogate’s Parliament Street; where the 2,400 sq. ft venue will be split across a ground level and mezzanine, as well as a second floor ‘Rhum Room’ – a feature that was introduced to the Leeds bar as a civilised area for a quiet drink. This will double as a private events space for cocktail masterclasses and dancing on tables.
Combining an American dive bar vibe with liquor, food and rock n’ roll music from the last six decades – MOJO offers a slick, high octane environment.
As a first for the group, and for Harrogate, MOJO are taking their party outside with a 300 sq. ft terrace that will be used for al fresco dining and drinking, with barbecues and events throughout the summer.
MOJO’s Food for the Soul menu is the newest addition to the offering and the bar will open daily at 11.30am for the lunch trade and the bar will be open until 4am.
MOJO director, Mal Evans, said: “After the successful launch of our bar in Nottingham, we’re bringing MOJO home to Yorkshire, where the idea was first born. We’ve had more space to play with this time, and even with the terrace
and Rhum Room, we’ve still got a few more tricks up our sleeve.”
Since opening in 1996, MOJO has earned its stripes as one of the country’s (and word’s) best bars and is constantly reviewing its offering.
After 22 years, the brand’s flagship in Leeds has become a city institution, as have the subsequently opened bars in Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham. MOJO Harrogate will open to the public in Spring 2018.
