February 18 – MOJO Lounge & Restaurant reopened its recently renovated space to its patrons as the first flagship venue for Carlsberg beer. To celebrate the officiating of this partnership, both MOJO and Myanmar Carlsberg hosted a reception for over 100 guests. Myanmar Carlsberg and MOJO partnered with Yangoods’ Creative Director and Designer, Delphine de Lorme and worked closely together to bring Carlsberg and lounge experience that offers a fresh décor with an original take on Myanmar’s culture combined with Carlsberg’s rich heritage of brewing “probably the best beer in the world.”
The venue is decorated with vintage images and bottles from Denmark with reprints of century old label designs which illustrate the long-standing history of the beer company and its founder, J.C. Jacobsen. French designer, Delphine de Lorme used artwork from the Carlsberg Museum and Archives in Copenhagen, Denmark and mixed it with raw, brick interiors, creating a distinct atmosphere and personality to this popular establishment.
MOJO first opened its doors in 2011 and it has become the local hub for food and music in Yangon. Since 2013, MOJO has been the recipient of numerous accolades, receiving the Certificate of Excellence 2015 from TripAdvisor and winning the Myanmore Awards for Best Newcomer, Best Bar, Best Social Events, and Best Night Club among others.
Phyo Min Soe, Myanmar Carlsberg Brand Manager said “We selected MOJO as a Carlsberg theme bar because it offers a perfect setting to showcase Carlsberg’s quality and heritage, it’s a fusion between the East and West, industrial and chic, rock and electro, and just the perfect place to hang out, relax and sip drinks,”. He added “It’s definitely a popular pit stop in the lounge circuit with great DJs, and engaging weekly events that draw in crowds with the enthusiasm and vibe that Carlsberg supports.”
Jean Curci, MOJO’s General Manager also commented that he is proud that MOJO not only offers the best quality beer and perfect draft experience, but also represents an international brand with such a rich heritage as its flagship outlet. “We truly are delighted to work with Carlsberg to offer the perfect environment to enjoy a Carlsberg. A comfortable vintage place to have drinks and culinary offerings of world cuisine, under the services of a trained chef and cocktail menu designed by a Danish mixologist”. MOJO opens between 11:00AM to 11PM on weekdays and from 11.00AM to midnight on weekends. The lounge presents an exciting venue for birthdays, corporate workshops and special events.
