About
What sets Mojo's apart is its three-bar layout: a main bar with pool table and raised dance floor, a separate drag bar, and a back bar. This Toledo dive has been around for decades, drawing a mixed crowd of 20-somethings to 40-somethings, bears, and locals. It's budget-friendly with strong, cheap drinks.
Reviews are split: some cite cleanliness issues and a rough crowd, while others report a fun, low-key vibe and a large patio deck for smoking. Check it out for yourself, especially if you want a dive with drag shows and multiple rooms.

“Trashy Dive Bar”
As soon as you walk in, you're hit by a disgusting sewage smell—like a toilet. The bar is in bad shape and absolutely filthy. If you sit at the bar, beware, because it's so gross you'll stick to the counter from old spills. The counter and cabinets behind the bar are slanted, and the bartender said it's because the floor is caving in. My drink came in a glass with fingerprints and lipstick still on it, which I didn't drink because it's unsanitary. I ordered bottled water instead. I noticed the bartender was only using one cooler behind the bar, even though there are three. He said the other two have been broken for a long time. Shouldn't management fix the broken things, including the floor? While walking around with my water, I saw the bar was full of drunks who were clearly overserved. Aren't bartenders supposed to know when to cut people off? But the bartenders were tipsy too, which seems wrong. To make things worse, not only is the bar filthy, but the customers are trashy. I met a few nice people, but I was constantly interrupted by hustlers asking for money or drinks. I guess the bar wants that kind of clientele. I won't go back because I don't think it's safe. When I left, one of the hustlers followed me to my car and became aggressive when I didn't give money. Someone is going to get seriously hurt there, and I won't be one of them.

“A Fun Place”
I had a great time and don't understand the negative reviews. The place is clean, doesn't smell, and is in a decent area, close to the ballpark, hotels, and restaurants. The locals were fun, and I could go outside to smoke. I'm curious to see how it is on the weekend.

“Not what you are expecting”
I was in Toledo for business, and it was pretty dull except for this bar. It's three bars in one with a large patio deck. The main bar has a pool table and a raised dance floor. Off to the right is a door to the drag bar, which wasn't what I was after, so I went to the back bar. It wasn't anything special, but the show was great. There was a diverse group of guys—some older, some younger, some leather, some bears—and everyone was really nice. I had some good conversations. As for smoking, people will complain either way, but I didn't mind. Drinks were good, strong, and cheap. I stayed until closing, and the area wasn't bad at all; I had no issues. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely stop by.

“smokey dump”
The owner openly violates the state smoking ban. The bar is a dump in a dangerous area. The only good thing is cheap drinks. If you smoke, this is your place; otherwise, stay away.
