| - Been an avid visitor to the Beer Temple, so when I heard of the new exciting places the BT was branching out into, I was super excited. They are basically taking over Matthews, but only for the better. Temple Mojo lets you fill growlers, drink beer, and have coffee... all while in probably one of the coolest buildings.
I came on a really nice Saturday, both front and back doors were open that made a nice breeze come through the space. An NFL playoff game was on while people were hanging out on the front porch and in the space itself. Super relaxed... there were even kids, "belly up" to the bar drinking some pop in old time-y glass bottles. I wish I was that cool when I was a kid.
We were there to drink beer and check out the space so after a scan of the draft list, we made our selections and sat at the large communal table inside. High ceilings, wood floors with a cool paint overlay, and the fun green/purple scheme make it one of the coolest places to hang out - couldn't ask for anything better.
Bartenders are familiar and friendly... just makes you want to hang out here even more. I like the fact that they have coffee option (for non beer drinker folks).... I didn't see, but they probably have cider on tap as well. Lots of people in and out while we were there... coming in with empty growlers and exiting with full growlers - smiles all around.
Mojo cycle shop is in the back, but didn't have a chance to go in a check it out. Parking was super easy... I know this is on one of the main drags, but there is plenty of side park on the side streets, or it's an easy walk across the street.
Great addition to downtown Matthews! Hope to visit many, many more times.
