 The new cocktail bar Mambo Zombi takes cues from the afterlife and holidays like Dia de los Muertos. The owners of Joystick Game Bar, Johnny Martinez and Brandon Ley, partnered with Kysha Cyrus to open this spooky space last September.

It’s located above the Georgia Beer Garden off of Edgewood Ave. The three co-owners all joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about the curious concoctions their new venture offers.
