Cafe Mojo

Top choice in Panaji


The decor is a dark cosy English pub, the clientele young and up for a late party, and the novelty is the e-beer system. Each table has its own beer tap and LCD screen: you buy a card (₹500), swipe it at your table and start pouring – it automatically deducts what you drink (use the card for spirits, cocktails and food, too).

Depending on the night there might be live music or DJs and there's a new dance space upstairs.
