Life's a Beach | Expat Life in Playa del Carmen

This weekend, after our ritual Friday dinner at Chicago Don Jose with Kim and J.J., we all headed over to Bad Brad's place, The Mojo Zone, to see if there was any live music to be had. Small bars and live music venues like this are hit particularly hard in the low season. When the world famous Tequilla Barrel has only 5 tables full on a Friday night, you KNOW that it's October in Playa! We were joined by Andy and Jen, our own English Stuart and Brad's girlfriend Monica and managed to have a great time and make some music of our own. J.J. and Andy both joined Brad and his crew on stage, entertaining our small group until closing time.

Thanks to Brad and his crew for a fun night. Even though we were the only customers, I'm pretty sure we drank enough for a full house! Just doing our part to keep the doors open for another day. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it ;)

The Mojo Zone is located on 5th Avenue just south of the Tequila Barrel. There is a retail shop below and just to the right a staircase leading upstairs to the bar and performance area. Stop in the next time you are wandering down 5th and check out what's going on. You never know who will be playing!
