    Mojo

    This buzzing café-bar has a terrace overlooking Tor Bay. Inside it's all huge leather sofas and photos of jazz stars on the walls. Music is a mix of live bands, R&B and Latino with cheesy disco at the weekends.

    Bristol's original superclub can hold a 2000-strong crowd, but it's practically never that busy. There's indie and R&B during the week and big house nights on weekends.
