Mr Mofongo

Top choice in Groningen


Drinking spaces don't get cooler than Mr Mofongo. Think student-hip cafe with buzzing pavement terrace on the ground floor, and cocktail bar with sensational 'wall' of 56 homemade spirits tapped by a robotic arm, craft distillery, and wine bar on the 1st. Don't miss the traditional jenever (aka Dutch 'gin') and stunning liqueurs, vodkas and gins made from ginger, thyme, and all sorts.

In the equally hi-tech wine bar, rotating shelves ensure glasses remain dust-free and potted herbs get their fair share of sunlight and water. A robotic arm retrieves bottles from the cellar and even pours out the wine.

The bar is named after an explorer the globetrotting owner (an underwater photographer) met at the Santa Lucia lagoon in Cuba after diving with bull sharks
