Destino Lounge 185 Elmora Avenue, Elizabeth, NJ 07202

"What an extraordinary team JD and Daniela are. They left nothing to be desired! Drinks were superb and app recommendations....well, you gotta have it all. The grilled Octopus must not be missed. Perfect ambiance for a 1st date. Looking forward to a return visit a friends."

"The staff was an absolute delight. The hospitality is top notch. I like the fact that you can get small plates to knosh on while having a delicious cocktail. I had the smokey old fashioned and an espresso martini. Both were perfection. I also tried the shrimp and grilled octopus. Thank you to the owner on creating a welcoming, classy place to listen to great music and be around a good crowd. Shawnee Taylor rules! xoxo"

"Incredible gem! The staff/bartender was so nice and made incredible drinks. We planned to stop in quickly for one cocktail and it turned into a few hours and a few cocktails. Each one we tried (4 total between the two of us) we couldn’t stop saying how good it was the whole time we drank it! Delicious espresso martinis. Great sharing plates too!"

"One of my girlfriends and I went to get drinks at this new lounge. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a gorgeous lounge. I was greeted and decided to sit at the bar. Dan was our bartender and he was great. Andrew also was super helpful and accommodating. I started with the cherry coke old fashioned smokey and it was very good. I finished with a merlot. My friend enjoyed her two martini drinks as well, including the vesper martini. We had a really good time and the service was excellent. A true gem in the city of Elizabeth."

"From the moment you walk in the hospitality is incredible and immediately you are greeted to this great escape. The parking isn't great and the dinner is small but the skirt steak is worth every bite and cooked to perfection. The cocktails are well detailed and put together. I can't wait to return for a new dinner menu. In the meantime check out this small eclectic restaurant for what it is and amazing staff."
