I came here with my family on a Wednesday night for our weekly dinner outing! My mom is a vegetarian, and we decided on this place because there were several vegan and vegetarian options. We made a reservation for 3 at 7 PM and upon arriving, we were seated right away! Between the three of us, we ordered a vegan Caesar salad (btw do you know how hard it is to find a vegan Caesar salad?!), nachos (with chicken on the side), the Mozwell burger (the fries on the side were absolutely crispy and delicious), and the aguachilles! I thought it was really kind of the server to accommodate my mom's vegetarian preferences, and offered to put the meat on the side! The restaurant is clean, and the food is served fast (which I so appreciate when you're hungry). We had just missed happy hour which is from 4 to 6; however, I definitely want to come back and try it out! read more

Was invited here to celebrate and birthday. The host was told to make a reservation...it was made for 7:30, they pushed it back to 8:30. Well we are still sitting on the patio at 8:50 waiting for a table that was reserved. Drinks were okay. Live music was great ( mind you we were listening from the patio) was great. Our server was okay. So far still waiting on the "reserved" table. So we have not had any food, only drinks. Management needs to do better. read more

This place felt more like a chaotic college party than an actual restaurant. The noise level was beyond loud and not in a fun or energetic way -- it was stressful just trying to have a conversation. The food arrived literally within about 3 minutes after ordering, which immediately made us question how fresh anything could possibly be. Unfortunately, the quality matched the speed. Most of the meats were badly burnt, dry, and almost inedible to the point where we had to send dishes back. Service was also extremely poor and disorganized, which only added to the chaotic atmosphere. Overall, this might honestly be one of the worst dining experiences I've had in Claremont. There are far better places nearby if you actually want to enjoy your meal and atmosphere. read more

This place looked really good in pictures online and upon coming it was very nice. Well decorated and definitely has a strong community following. They have weeknight events from trivia to jazz. Service was pleasant and very friendly. I do think the food didn't really stand out to me. It's a limited menu including tacos to pasta. I had two pasta dish's and it worthy about raving after. But the drinks were so good! Definitely come here for drinks and snacks to enjoy some live music or get together with friends. read more

Hubby randomly found this place while we were in the area. We came here yesterday for late lunch. Place was empty since it was an odd time. Atmosphere was bright & modern. I've read mixed reviews about this place in regard to the food & service & obviously it depends what you order & who serves you but I thought otherwise. We were given a weekend lunch menu. Hubby ordered taquitos & I had shrimp tacos. Both dishes were satisfying. Portions were just the right amount for us. The tortilla on the taco was thin but surprisingly it didn't break off. Shrimp tasted delicious & there were ample amount of them in each taco. All the condiments blended well together. I'd order it again. Taquitos were soft & flavorful. Our server was friendly & attentive. We'll be back again whenever we're in the area. read more

This place is located in the packing house and has a very nice layout. The host was very polite and convinced me to go and give the place a try. I wasn't really satisfied with the burger. It seemed like just an ordinary burger nothing special I would want to come back for. Overall it was a good place with a nice draft selection. read more

Way too noisy for any conversation. Food was good. Reasonable price. Good beer made there. Food did not all come out at the same time. If you like the noisy party atmosphere then it's fine. read more

Cute little bar and restaurant in Claremont. It's tucked inside a larger building and located toward the end, so it can be easy to miss at first. Inside, there's a cozy bar area with booths as well as tables for seating. They also host trivia nights, which adds a fun and lively vibe. Our group tried a few cocktails along with an order of fries. The drinks were well made, and the fries were tasty with a solid portion size. Overall, a nice spot to hang out, grab drinks, and enjoy a casual night out. read more

Stopped by with a friend to grab some drinks and share appetizers at the bar. This place is a bit hard to find if you're not familiar with the Packing House. It's all the way in the back corner next to Eureka. Service was great. The ambiance is cute and trendy. I'm not sure if the AC couldn't keep up since it was a hot day but inside was pretty warm. My friend and I were slightly uncomfortable after a while. Food and drinks were pretty good. I ordered the Spicy Margarita and boy did it pack a punch. We shared the Chicken Tinga Empanadas and Chicken Nachos. The empanadas were delicious. Packed with tons of chicken and fried to perfection. The nachos were a great portion but the chips were stuck together so it was kind of hard to eat. read more

Was drawn to Mozwell because of the unique and tasty sounding menu items and it did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the Mexican fusion aspect and the cocktail menu was super creative. Although we only ordered two items, they were both excellent. We would have absolutely ordered more if we had room! Mojo fries were BOMB. Generous portion size and flavors were spot on. Consistency of fries was also perfect. Quesa birria tacos were delicious and had a generous amount of meat. Both items were good to split. The overall vibe of the restaurant was great and even though we did not go for Happy Hour, their HH menu looked excellent. Everything seems pretty shareable as well, so if you want to try multiple items, go with a group and share! Would recommend and would go again. read more

Mozwell Claremont - Mojo Fries (EXCELLENT) and Ma Cha-Cha cocktail (unique and good flavors!) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Claremont, California

Probably the worst plate I've ever gotten here. Rice was like it was reheated, not fresh, not even warm. Like they decided to reheat leftovers. Beans were too salty. This is my favorite spot and it felt odd because every time I've been here it's always been good! The server asked if the food was delicious. I just said it was good. I kept shoveling more food into my mouth like it would get better but it didn't. I left feeling conflicted... Maybe it was the people pleaser in me but being honest in that moment felt awkward. Like I could have easily just said the food is just not even warm like it sat out. Beans are too salty. But I really can't blame anyone but myself for not speaking up! I will come back again but I just really hated not loving the food. read more

Mozwell is a bit hard to find, it's located in the back of the packing house, behind Eureka!. We went through the doors by the patio by the street, but apparently the main entrance is from inside the packing house. I loved the vibe here, very hip and modern and very fun. This is a perfect spot to grab a drink at the bar or hang out with friends. I understand they have jazz on certain nights, which would be fun to go to! The menu is Mexican fusion and all the menu items looked great. We got: Elote Bowl Mojo Fries Birria Burger Chicken Milanese Torta Diablo Shrimp Pasta Quesadilla Birria Tacos Shrimp Tacos Churro Cake Everything was excellent, the only things my family thought could use improvement on was the torta and the shrimp pasta. The pasta had good seasoning and spice, but it wasn't salty enough. The chicken patty in the torta was dry so my son didn't really like it. The Birria burger was the biggest surprise. We thought it was a burger made with Birria, but it was Birria ON TOP of a burger patty, so it was basically double meat. A very hearty meal on a platter for sure! Service was excellent before our server went on break. Our backup server was MIA and we were ignored the rest of our visit. I had to wave down one of the very nice gentlemen in the beige t-shirts (not sure if they are supervisors) so we could have our dishes removed off our table, and so we could order the churro cake for dessert, which by the way was soo good and a great way to end the meal!! FYI, for the vertically challenged like me, the mirrors in the bathrooms are so high up that you won't be able to see your reflection. FYI if you want to check your appearance...bring your own mirror in your purse. My son said the mirrors in the men's restroom are also very high up. =) Parking available in the underground lot or on the surrounding streets. read more

Drinks were 50/50, Food was good, DJ was good when he was playing old freestyle music but he turned and wasn't great after that! Service started out super slow, but we got our waiter after his break and he was great. I can't remember his name either Eric or Brenden? White guy, tattoo's and piercings. Had the memory of an elephant! Literally took our whole order (8) people entire dinner and got it all right! read more

5/5 for ambiance. Super chill and trendy vibes. Definitely a nice place to go for brunch or a casual date. Really liked how open and airy the space felt. 3/5 for service. Service was just okay. We had to keep raising our hands to flag the server's attention. 3/5 for food. Starters and drinks were great. Definitely recommend the nachos and mojo fries. I thought boy, I'd want to come back here for their brunch or HH. But the entrees (and cleanliness) fell short. Wagyu birria burger was overwhelming so I recommend sharing this dish. Diablo shrimp pasta was super spicy, so I don't recommend if you can't handle spice. Tallarin verde with chicken was overly sauced and garlicky. I love garlic but the pasta was drowning in sauce. The Santa Fe Salad was surprisingly good and one of the better dishes. 2/5 for cleanliness. Their staff and dishwashers need to pay more attention to their tableware before serving guests. Right off the bat, 50% of our plates had nasty leftover remnants. My beer glass had some hardened red gunk on the rim. There were a couple of flies just surrounding the table. Someone in my party couldn't finish their meal because they felt disgusted of how many dirty things we noticed. Mozwell definitely has potential, however, I'm disappointed that a birthday celebration turned into a semi regretful dinner. read more

We came on a Saturday at 7:30 and they had what they said was a 45 min wait if we didn't have a reservation. We put our name on the wait list and came back at 45 min, and they didn't have a table ready, so we kept waiting. It's now 10pm, we still haven't gotten seated and they didn't give us a text or update. Very disappointed in this horrible service. read more

Had such a lovely time here, cocktails where superb and food delightful. I have been craving a good Cesar Salad and was so impressed with the umami flavor and slightly spicy aftertaste. Accidentally came on a trivia night and had such a blast! We got stuck in 3rd place, but dang those questions were hard! Highly recommend the happy hour here and will definitely be back! read more

Visited Mozwell with a few friends. I ordered the chilaquiles and berry and the boys and it was nice and strong and really good. The restroom was clean.

We were wandering in downtown Claremont and happened upon this spot. The ambience is on point for Friday night. The game is playing but it still has classy vibes and lighting. I would definitely return here again. We got a few drinks and the mojo fries. The fries are a giant portion. I feel you could probably share between 4 people. They are super loaded with toppings and are vegetarian friendly to top it off! We really enjoyed our experience here. Despite it being pretty busy, our server did come check on us a few times. When we needed something and flagged someone else down, she was more than happy to help us out, too. read more

5 stars based of the amazing cocktails alone!!!!! Super cute place for brunch, food was great, drinks were even better. We did order "curated shots" to finish off brunch; we felt they were straight liquor which is fine, just not what we thought we were getting. Nonetheless..... the drinks are amazing I tell you!!! read more

Cute spot tucked away in downtown Claremont! The food is delicious and service is great!

Like that there is underground parking and it's doing by the corner. I called early the morning Saturday and there was plenty of space especially outdoors since we had dogs with us after hiking Claremont loop. The spacious area was clean and simple. Love the simplicity and made things easy to start ordering for us. I had the breakfast burrito with bacon and hash browns while others had chilaquiles. Food was perfect to fill our hungry appetite. Will be back to try other items since they only had breakfast in the morning. read more

We went for the Jazz night on Wednesday. The music and ambiance was amazing! The drinks were great but the food was terrible. I got the "not-so-chipotle" bowl & it was so salty, it was inedible. My husband got a steak and it came with beans and rice. The steak was good but the beans and rice were again so salty. The service was good & they were very accommodating. I didn't end up having dinner that night though so pretty disappointed by that. read more

If you're looking for a unique take on traditional Mexican fare, Mozwell should be on your list! Fresh, vibrant flavors pop with robust, creamy, savory, and spicy seasonings. Everything we ate felt health-elevated since, even though there were rich tastes, nothing swam in puddles of oil. I mean hey, I unabashedly enjoy a crunchy, fried taco that leaves a sheen of finger licking goodness that needs more than a few napkins, but this is not that place. There are some GF and even more veggie options available. The service is team oriented, with beverages and plates being brought out by a variety of friendly servers, but one server took our order and cashed us out. We got there early and stayed late. Through that time, we saw the interior vibe change from almost spa/zen-like with its serene, comfortable colors and bright, window-lit space into a hip and trendy this side of club vibe. Music, lights dimmed while DJ-style lights came up. The place packed up bringing conversation, laughter, and memories in the making. Maybe not unexpectedly with the busy-ness, the orders/kitchen got behind or part of our order got overlooked, but did eventually make it to the table along with an apology and a plate of complimentary steamy hot churros. This acknowledgment and thoughtful face-to-face interaction shows their heart is not only in their food offerings, but also in their customer service ethic. It was a great dining out experience: well crafted unique cocktails, delicious food, and what definitely felt like a Friday night out! We'll be back - maybe on a Tuesday to try trivia or on a jazz night. read more

3.5 (for dinner experience without alcohol) - would come back to try brunch/drinks The restaurant is located inside the packing house on the right side of Iron and Kin coffee. Service was warm, welcoming, and positive. The ambiance is aesthetic and pretty inside. We came for taco Tuesday/trivia night. In terms of food, we got nachos, birria tacos, chicken and pork tacos ($2 a taco on taco Tuesday's). My favorite thing was the nachos (chips are slightly hard but flavors were good and it comes with a lot of toppings. My husband liked the birria tacos the best - slightly salty but still good. The chicken and pork tacos that were part of the taco Tuesday deal were both not great (pork was REALLY salty and chicken was bland). We asked for some sauce since those tacos didn't come with any and both sauces from the restaurant were whatever - tapatio was the best. However, would want to come back to try brunch and drinks since other reviews talk about how great both are! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while now. Met a friend for early 5pm dinner on a Saturday. Had to wait a few minutes for host to show up to host stand. Place wasn't super crowded but by the time we left it was pretty full. The menu is not extensive. We weren't really hungry so we shared a Caesar salad with chicken & the chicken empanadas. Both were really tasty. I had the Berry & the Boys cocktail which was very refreshing & my friend had the mocktail version. We really wanted to try the churros but we were surprisingly full. It looks like they host trivia & jazz night during the week according to the marquee. Sounds like I'll have to go back again. read more

This hidden gem is truly the definition of a hidden gem. I googled "jazz near me" and found this place has themed nights throughout the week which is something we don't have too much of in the IE. It's located inside of the main building near the library. Both times we just parked in the parking garage and walked over. The atmosphere is really warm and intimate, and everyone who worked here was very attentive to all of our needs. I did book a reservation both times I have come just to be safe, anywhere with live music and food can get crowded quickly so be prepared! All in all you're in for such a good time with great drinks and even better live music! read more

Love coming here for everything, social hour, food, and drinks. I think I've come here enough to know they have great drinks and especially since they make their own syrups. My go to are those fries when I start drinking, but all the food is great with amazing flavor. The atmosphere in there can get a bit loud at night so may not be ideal for a first date if you're trying to chat. During the day it's more relaxed. But I love this place hands down. What makes it for me is truly a good combo of drinks, food and their top notch service. read more

First time here, been wanting to try it out. Ordered a Cubano, wife ordered the Cesar, kiddo ordered the kids brunch platter. Food was really good, and the drinks were bomb! They only provide brunch from open till 3pm. The rest of the menu isn't available until 4pm. So be aware of that if you're looking to try their other options come after 4.

Stopped in for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by this place. I did t expect for this place to be as family friendly as it was... but while it was more of a bar vibe, it was still a great experience for both parents and kids. They had good music playing and projected a movie to keep the kids entertained. Food were pretty good and service was great. The only "issues" we had were that the food wasn't hot and that the air was on full blast so it was pretty chilly. Other than that, the place is a nice brunch spot and I look forward to going back. read more

I've dined at Mozwell's several times now, and words alone can't capture the depth of my devotion to this establishment--but I'll try anyway. At night, as I lie in bed gently caressing my wife's shoulder, she believes my silence is filled with tender memories of our life together. In truth, my mind drifts elsewhere--to the glistening perfection of Mozwell's Cubano. When no one is watching, I sometimes savor a single French fry with ritual precision: sliding it to the back of my mouth, holding it captive with my lips, and teasing out the salt with my tongue. It's not indulgence; it's communion. I've attempted to recreate Mozwell's cocktails at home, but each sip only reminds me of my failure. Shame consumes me. I slap the glass away, collapse against the wall, and weep--echoing my father's lifelong insistence that I'd never be a real man, much less a craft bartender. The ambiance and décor radiate the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel while maintaining the warmth of my mother's embrace. Sometimes, I dream of leaving my grandmother's basement and moving to Claremont, just to be closer to the brilliance of Mozwell's. It is, and always will be, a sanctuary for me. And perhaps one day, when I finally make a friend, I'll share a glass with them there. read more

Mozwell has become my most frequently visited restaurant in the Claremont Village. I love their craft cocktails, great food, and nice ambiance.

We came to downtown to find somewhere to get a drink and appetizers, usually going to Eureka next door we thought we'd change it up. Our server seemed to be kind of out of it when taking our order, I'm sure just tired so we looked past it. There was a large party next to us and we came here thinking it was a restaurant, not a bar vibe. The party next to us got up and began socializing, yelling, and made our experience not enjoyable. Food was meh and drink selection is not great. Was nice to try out though! read more

We arrived at about 8:30 for the karaoke. I was crestfallen to be informed that the kitchen closed at that time. Because we entered from the outside entrance, it was unclear as to whether we should seat ourselves, or if we had to order at the bar. It was the day before New Year's Eve, so I imagine that's the reason it was packed on a Tuesday, so there were only two servers. They did the best they could, but one more would have really helped out. The specialty drinks... I think were maybe overly trendy, perhaps par for the course for downtown Claremont. A lot of mezcal drinks, jalapeño infused liquors, didn't really appeal to us. The beer selection on the other hand was diverse and def had something for my snobby beer palate. The Karaoke guy was amazing, though! Excellent music selection, no dead air between singers, zero notes. One last thing. Towards the end of the night there were these young kids who did a metal karaoke song, they were really entertaining and we all went wild for them, but for the next half hour or so they stood around blocking doors and moshing by the back door, at one point knocking things over. I was disappointed that there was no one from the restaurant to ask them to chill or leave. I was worried they'd windmill a server or guest in the face. So anyway, would return for karaoke and beer. read more

This is a really cute spot and service was great. The reason for the 3 stars is because most of our plates and some silverware were pretty dirty. We ordered the nachos and mojo fries, which were pretty good. For the main dishes, we ordered the diablo pasta (super spicy where your chest is burning on the inside), birria burger (super meaty), and tallarines verde with grilled chicken (super garlicky and overwhelming). Before ordering, we considered coming back for happy hour. But after everything, I don't think we would be coming back. I gnat also flew up my nose... -_- read more
