"If you want to feel like a VIP, head to Jojo’s Beloved at Colony Square for a cocktail. You’ll need a reservation to get in, but if they’re not busy the host will make one for you when you arrive. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time, from the oval bar accented with plush purple bar stools and booths lining the outside of the room to the record player decor, low lighting, and the ’70s classics and deep cuts playing in the background. Jojo’s only has cocktails (there are just two beers on the menu), so this one’s for the liquor lovers. If you’re hungry, you can exit straight into the Politan Row food hall, where you'll have options from sushi to tacos." - juli horsford
"A music-driven venue in a lively square, this spot is built for night owls: late-night sets can turn a date into early-morning magic as the music and crowd energy push the night forward." - Su-Jit Lin
"If my night ends in Midtown I head to JoJo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge in Colony Square (behind the food hall in Politan Row); its recent expansion added a dance floor, so I can boogie until 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday (midnight Tue–Wed) while sipping cocktails to rotating records." - Su-Jit Lin
"A high-energy, spirit-forward creation called the 9 to 5 bridges an espresso martini and a White Russian with Wheatley vodka, Don Q coconut rum, Mr Black coffee liqueur, blackstrap molasses, and cold-brew coffee, plus an optional coconut-vanilla foam — a rich, supercharging cocktail meant to keep drinkers going day or night." - Allison Ramirez
"Walking into the Politan Row food court, awash in low-glow lights gently illuminating a large central bar, you might think you’d already arrived at the buzzy Jojo’s Beloved. But keep going. Instead, set your sights on a neon yellow sun sign, down a hall into a cathedral-domed setting that feels at once brooding, sultry, retro, and swank. Cushy red velvet seating, dramatic floor-to-ceiling burgundy drapery, booths enclosed in open tunnels of light, and an all-vinyl soundtrack further add to that impression, along with a perfect Manhattan made with Angel’s Envy. You’re encouraged to savor every sip, as the bartenders pace drinks accordingly at this seated cocktail lounge." - Su-Jit Lin
