Cafe Mojo will close its doors Thursday after nine years of business, according to a post on the restaurant's Facebook page.
The quirky cafe on Higbie Lane--which billed itself as "A little touch of Soho in West Islip"--regularly hosted weekly events such as Psychic Night and Drag Bingo.
According to Jacqueline Hartman, who co-owns Cafe Mojo with her husband Marc, the eatery and bar will be taken over by a "local couple" and will be known as The Lions Den. The current staff will remain, as will the menu.
