Cafe Mojo on Foursquare!

Cafe Mojo has recently joined Foursquare!  For those of you who may not be up to date on all of the tech fads, we thought we would teach you a bit about Foursquare.

 Foursquare is an app that you can download (for free!) onto your smartphone. When you go to a store, a restaurant, a movie, etc., log on and "check-in".  Magically (ok, actually by GPS) your current location will appear.  Now all you have to do is click on "check-in" and you're done!

Why should you bother taking your phone out to this?  One reason is that it is fun!  You can share with friends so they can see where you have gone and you can see where they have gone.  People can leave tips too so you can learn what your friends think is the best Cafe Mojo meal or drink! You can also earn badges for all different types of things which makes for great friendly competition amongst friends.  But the BEST reason for checking in at Cafe Mojo? You will have the chance to become the Mayor of Cafe Mojo! Each month the person with the most check-ins will be dubbed Mayor of Cafe Mojo. The Mayor is rewarded by Cafe Mojo specials just for him/her!  One month it may be free appetizers, another month it may be a free drink with each meal .... The awesome possibilities are endless!

So come on down and check-in!  YOU may just be the next Mayor of Cafe Mojo!

Talent Discovered at Cafe Mojo Karaoke!

Friday night was ROCKIN' at Cafe Mojo located in West Islip! Cafe Mojo is a friendly neighborhood bar/restaurant that caters to fun.  The food is delicious, the drinks are delectable, the service friendly and engaging. But that is just the beginning. Cafe Mojo celebrates different events most nights of the week. 

Owners Marc and Jacqueline Hartman have brought a touch of NYC to LI.  Enter Cafe Mojo and you will be greeted with the warmth expected of the local corner bar, an eclectic clientele, and over 110 beers from around the world.  The nightly events provide the finishing touches to make this a fantastic night out.

This past Friday night, Cafe Mojo welcomed a new Karaoke leader, Bob Delpriore, who kept the night moving briskly with humor.  Customers chose from a tremendous library of songs and delighted the crowd with a mix of country, rock, pop, and oldies.  Many songs were delivered beautifully, while others had a touch more fun mixed in.  The crowd enjoyed them all the same, sang along, and cheered loudly.

Come down to Cafe Mojo to enjoy Karaoke every other Friday night.  You can also enjoy Mystic Louis for a Psychic Tuesday evening as well as Rainbow night, Pubstumpers Trivia on Wednesday nights, "Almost the Weekend Night" hosted by Robyn and Jacky on Thursdays, and Drag Bingo hosted by comedian Kenny Dash on Saturday nights.

Question Answered, What Makes Our Restaurant A Great Place

A question was asked of us the other day which we thought would be interesting to share.  We were asked, "what makes your restaurant a great place to go to"?  So we thought we would answer the question right here in our blog.

First things first.  Our kitchen is clean, our dining area and bar are clean, and our staff are clean.  The food is safely prepared.  Ok, now let's move on. 

Cafe Mojo can be a great place for many different types of patrons.  Our decor is fun and whimsical, yet also gives a homey feeling.  Our staff makes everyone feel welcomed and a friend of the restaurant. Our menu is eclectic so everyone can find a favorite. TV's are on and music is playing, although neither one is loud enough to interfere with conversations.  Families with young children can relax in our dining area and our kids menu offers food choices the kids are sure to enjoy.  Young couples or groups of friends can enjoy our casual atmosphere while enjoying our "beers from around the world".  Other patrons might enjoy our coffees and desserts.

One of the best things about Cafe Mojo is that everyone can find a favorite time to come in.  If you like to enjoy some entertainment along with a crowd of people, try our one of our nightly events.  Maybe you would prefer a more intimate experience.  You could come for lunch or dinner.  What types of activities do you like?  Would it be our Friday night karaoke?  Maybe Wednesday night trivia?  How about Thursday's Almost The Weekend sangria and drink specials?  Want a psychic reading or enjoy a rainbow atmosphere, then join us on Tuesday nights.  Like bingo?  Well, you haven't tried it like this!  Comedian Kenny Dash hosts Drag Bingo on Saturday nights!

Here at Cafe Mojo, we like to engage our customers and make them feel right at home.  We have created a fun, family environment where you can enjoy a quiet drink and meal or you can enjoy activities with friends old and new.  This is what makes Cafe Mojo a great restaurant to spend time in.  So if this is what you are looking for, come on down and join us!
