I've never stayed at Bogobiri but I go there often for the open mike night which is every Thursday night from 7pm. The place is really nice with a lot of potential. It's got a nice rustic, artsy feel about it which I guess attracts various artist & creative youngsters. However, I've found that the more popular this place has gotten, the more bad experiences I have. There was a time when going there & having a great time was a guarantee. Now I almost feel like I want to stay away. Firstly, Bogobiri is located on a narrow road whith absolutely no parking services. So people double park illegally on the road. This makes accessing the place almost impossible & causes a lot of unneccessary hold up. Simply put- parking over here is a nightmare!!! Secondly, it's always crowded so you have to stand & wait for ages for a table to open up. Even though the open mic starts at 7pm, the place is usually so full by 6:30 as people go early to book tables. Thirdly, I'm not sure if it's due to staff shrtages, but orders take too long to arrive- even if it's just a drink you order. They are very short staffed so you have just 3 waiters on the floor catering to a large crowd of customers. Why they have no more staff, esp on their most popular night, is beyond me. Other than these, the place is nice & lots of fun. Just go super early & perhaps take a taxi there so you don't have to go through the stress of parking. Also, maybe eat a light meal before you go as the food can take an hour or so to arrive. Oh & take a hand held fan cos it gets super duper hot in there!!!
