Jojo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge

Super cool speakeasy in Colony Square’s food court (past the restrooms). We went without a reservation right when it opened (around 5pm) and were able to be seated quickly. They have an extensive menu of drinks, with detailed descriptions and names of the creators of each drink. I got the Tampa cocktail, which was pretty strong (our waiter suggested we mix in the pina colada foam). The ambiance was super cool — very retro, with different posters and art hung up to match the vibe, as well as a dance floor in the back. Service was good, although a bit slower than expected.

One of my favorite speakeasy’s! If you haven’t been then you are truly missing out! This 70’s theme bar is curated so lush and thoughtful. You will feel like you have been transported to a private event at one of the most sexiest places. It’s a cocktail bar so eat before you go! And the cocktails are just “chef kiss”!

Drinks were ok, but the flavor-to-cost ratio was too low for me. Atmosphere was too dim and found the semi-circular bar to be less comfortable than a traditional straight bar. Overall it was ok, but I'd probably go somewhere else.

My sister's boyfriend recommended coming here for a double date, and we had an absolute ball! The scene was perfect, and we loved the purple rain shots. The 80s music was on point, and it's been a while since we felt so free and had so much fun on the dance floor. Jojo's Beloved is a vibe!

This place is all vibe and no substance. Walked in expecting a classy cocktail lounge — walked out wondering if I had wandered into a middle school dance with overpriced drinks. The music was so loud I had to scream to order, and when the drinks finally came, they tasted like someone let a toddler mix the alcohol. $18 for what basically amounted to melted ice with a hint of regret. The bartender looked like he hated life, and honestly, after that experience, I did too. If you're looking for a place to waste your money and question your choices, congratulations — you found it.

This place is adorable! It’s a speakeasy inside Politan Row. The design on the interior is so fun and it’s small so it’s not loud. The drinks are so good and they even did a fun little birthday drink for us. Given the limited seating, I would definitely make a reservation.

Had a great night here and one of the best espresso martinis of my life.

The manager Gabe went above and BEYOND looking for my AirTag after it fell out of my wallet - can’t thank him enough for the amount of effort put in. Will be coming back! (And keeping a tighter grip on that AirTag )

The place was very cute and fun. The hostess was great and pleasant upon arriving. We didn’t make any rsvp on a Wednesday night. At first I was a bit confused if we need to or not. We went ahead and went anyways. Lucky they did accept walk in. The bartender was awesome! The only thing I wish they had was a small appetizer of food because we got a bit tipsy after couple drinks in. That food would have helped a bit. But overall amazing experience!

The drinks were so good, particularly those off the seasonal menu. We were there for the holidays, and I loved the poinsettias! The volume in there for early evening was great for conversation. The vibes were immaculate- super cool but not unattainable if you aren’t cool yourself :)

This is the perfect place for a date night or fun girls night out. The atmosphere was so vibey and sexy, and the drinks were 10/10.

My friends took me here for birthday cocktails. Loved ambiance. Drinks were nice and flirty. Only downside was no food, not even bread or crackers. I had an empty stomach so I only had one cocktail. Bartender was amiable. Was glad there was no smoking.

If you're looking for aesthetics, Jojo's Beloved is the place to be—adorable decor and charming furniture make it undeniably Instagram-worthy. However, since it’s a bar, I expected a more exciting drink selection, especially with specialty and "over-the-top" cocktails. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The wine selection was limited, the rosé was overly brut, and even their best prosecco tasted cheap. When I asked for champagne, they didn’t have any on hand, so I’m guessing they don’t serve it.

The drinks felt basic and not especially well-balanced. Still, I’ll give it another try because I enjoyed the ambiance and hope they’ve improved their cocktail menu by my next visit.

Great atmosphere, great vibes, and great drinks. It's like an 80's vibe chic bar. There is a dance floor, no food, but it's still cool.
