Welcome to Bar Goyana

 The Belgian-Brazilian couple behind MOJO Mousse Bar, brings to 

El Barrio a new Brazilian-inspired Cocktail Bar located in the space 

next door to the mousse shop. The elegant Cocktail Bar is connected to 

MOJO Mousse Bar through a door that gives a little speakeasy touch, 

and it's the perfect spot for a date or after dinner: drinks + dessert. 

The glowing and colorful bar is stacked with craft cachacas, exotic liqueurs, and house-made syrups. The outdoor seating can sit up to 25 people - making it perfect for bigger groups. The decor was inspired by Brazil, the high energy and the love to celebrate life that only Brazilians have - “After a pandemic year and with no many nice places to go in our area we decided that a Brazilian Vibes Cocktail Bar was the perfect addition to the neighborhood”, says co-owner Jaqueline Queiroz. A prominent mural painting of Tropical Brazil, highlights Brazilian female creative figures such as the “Abapuru” from Tarsila do Amaral, quotes of Cora Coralina and a portrait of Carmen Miranda”. “The name Goyana is a homage to my hometown in Brazil: Goiania, located in the country side near the capital, Brasilia”, says Jaqueline. The interior design is signed by Bendesign Studio lead by Brazilian interior designer and Architect Ruben Brito, who has a studio based in Miami, and the art mural was created by Ruben Brito and painted by the artist Adeline Jadot.

The cocktail menu includes “The Goyana” made with aged cachaça, passion fruit and Baunilha do Cerrado (a wild and rare Vanilla found at Jaqueline's family farm in Goias), “El Barrio Tropical” a spicy mango margarita, honoring the neighborhood where they are located - East Harlem and “Belgian Fashion” - an old fashioned made with bourbon and chocolate bitters. The wine list is signed by Chef Johan Halsberghe and includes the Chef’s favorites: Champagne Drappier, Gigondas from Cote du Rhone and top Californian Westwood’s red. The Belgian Beer program includes classics: Duvel, 

Chimay, Houblon Chouffe IPA, Westmalle Double and smaller 

Belgian crafted bottled beers on rotation.

The small plates pays tribute to the Brazilian and Latino cuisine, includes grilled curd cheese with black truffle honey, typical in Brazil, Stuffed Pão de Queijo (the famous Brazilian Cheese bread) stuffed with parmesan and Jalapeno. The classic Brazilian National Dish "Feijoada" is also available in the regular menu along with other classics such as Bobo de Camarao and Fricasse de Frango.
