A BOURNEMOUTH bar and restaurant has been recognised in this year’s Top 50 UK Cocktail Bars.
Ojo Rojo has been voted 15th in the list, which is compiled annually by cocktail experts across the country.
The Mexican-inspired bar in Commercial Road showcases Mezcal and Tequila based drinks and boasts one of the largest collections of agave spirits in south-west England.
A spokesperson for Ojo Rojo said: “We are extremely proud and privileged to be among a line up of such prestigious and high quality bars across the UK.

“We worked hard this year to raise our game and really hoped we would rise a few places in this year’s competition, but we are completely blown away with the number 15 slot. It feels great to put Bournemouth on the map with a competition such as this.
“Its been a tough couple of years but this is one of those highs that you need to take and be over the moon with.”
Ojo Rojo is the highest climber in this years list, having moved up from 31st place.
Chris Lowe, publisher of Top 50 Cocktail Bars, said: “Whilst London continues to dominate this year’s list, it is very exciting to see other major cities across the UK make their mark.
"The ever-growing interest in cocktails and bartending within the UK means we are spoilt for choice on where to go, and this list allows for the best of the UK bar scene to have a spotlight placed on them – and for consumers to find these hidden gems.”
