During our honeymoon we stayed for one night in the city center of Groningen. During our stay we visited Mr. Mofongo. We heard from Mr. Mofongo because of the dad which visit Groningen often. He told me we should visit Mr. Mofongo because of the cocktail bar. We found out that our hotel was just 100 meter away from Mr. Mofongo. We stayed at Corps de Garde Groningen. When you walk into it look very cozy with many details referring to traveling. The tables has a glass plate with items all over the world like coins, insects (not alive) and passports. The menu is made like a passport. The dishes are very reasonably priced. The menu has a dish for everyone. I self ordered the chicken with lemon and my wife took the spare ribs. Before this we ordered the tapas plate. During our dinner we already tried some cocktails before we went to the cocktail bar. The ground floor and the outside terrace is for dinner and a drink. The cocktail bar is on the second floor. You can take your dinner bill upstairs. The waiter will give a voucher which looks like a plane ticket. When you take it up the waiters upstairs will scan the voucher and you can take a seat. The cocktail bar looks amazing. It has a robot arm which will take the ingredients for the bartender. The bartenders are very skilled and also funny. The cocktails are reasonably priced and when your favorite is not on the menu you can still ask for it and they will make it for you.

There are no words in my dictionary to describe this place to the fullest and hence I'm going to explain every bit of my experience along with pictures. We started with a tour of the place, which I would have never expected to see based on what the place looked like from the outside. There were such minute details that you've either heard of or seen in pictures that actually exist here. Right from the world war period newspaper on the wall to the ancient wine racks and Barrels and a fusion of these antiques with technology like the rotating wine glass rack to the arm that automatically serves 2 glasses of wine. The place even crafts it's own Gin, whisky, and other types of alcohol and soon Beer. Loved the mini distillery that dropped down from the roof to a particular table which I definitely want to try the next time I'm there. Not going to say more and ruin it for you who are reading, you need to visit to believe. The steak was amazing and everything else we ate. Would like to appreciate Nick who gave us an awesome tour, and he is definitely the man for the job. Highly recommended this place and I will visit again.

We decided to stop at Mr. Mofongo for a quick dinner and I am sad to say that the service was terrible. We were ignored at the entrance, it took a very long time before the water realised that we had not received our menus yet and to top it all the bill was considerably higher than expected. I ordered the vegetarian pizza, which was very dry. They wrote on the menu that the dough was raised 72 hours but if that is the case then something must have gone wrong because the texture was not as airy as it should have been. I could not taste the gorgonzola cheese and the other type was dried up, microwave style. I am sorry but I cannot give more than 2 stars. I love their cocktail bar, but the restaurant side needs to really work on improving service and food quality. What a pity, because the location is just perfect!

Absolutely excellent service from the moment I called to make the reservation for eight people, to the moment we left. Had a really nice time with some wonderful cocktails, and I love the aesthetic of the place. A very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, with delightful cocktails for a fair price. Would definitely recommend coming here as well for some drinks, and checking out the wine bar on the upper floor. The atmosphere was so nice in the place that it almost made me forget my ex was present as well, which really says something. I highly recommend the "Marc of Passion" cocktail, which is seen in the attached photo. I'll definitely be going here again! Summed up: I would definitely recommend this place for cocktails and a nice time.

Went there for drinks on a Friday night and I was blown away by the atmosphere! On the first floor there is a restaurant and everything above is different bars that you can choose from - cocktails, wine or beer-related. It was lively but intimate at the same time and the cocktail menu had many classic and unique drinks to choose from. The price is fair for the quality and atmosphere you get. The only issue with the multiple floors is that waiters need to constantly run up and down, which leads to delays. In our case we wanted to have another drink but because we waited for at least 20 min for it we cancelled and decided to leave. Perhaps it's different outside peak hours. Overall a nice experience trying new drinks!

We had a very nice evening here. Had some nice cocktails and a few very nice ones. The decor is excellent. With the wall of alcohol and the robot arm as a very cool center piece. Besides cocktails we also had some snacks. We thought the antipasti plate was particularly good (although a bit more bread or crackers would ve been nice). The fries were also very nice and came in a generous portion. The korean chicken and octopus balls were good but not quite on the high level of the other snacks. The service was attentive and quick throughout. Would definitely recommend for a nice evening out.
