Just a seriously chill bar to kick back in and most of all –
JELLO SHOTS!!!!!
Met up with a group of friends for an impromptu happy hour drinking binge at Destination Bar and had a great time. The place itself has a really cozy vibe, old wooden floors, open air front facade, and a terrific jukebox. Happy hour runs until 8PM every day and is half off everything – yes, everything!
I really like this type of bar. Not too big but has seating spots all around, a worn comfortable looking decor, nice bar area, and the front has what looks to be the original windows and small porch area from years ago. Nice bathrooms. A cool mix of 50’s- 90’s music playing on the jukebox. Board games available, Bartender was super nice and took care of us. She also threw us a round of shots before getting off her shift as we paid out. It’s the kind of place you can get lost in for hours. Especially during happy hour! So sweet!
Have been here a few times before and they usually have four types of jello shots at $3 a piece – Jello-Rita, Jello Fuzzy Navel, Jello Cherry Coke, and Jello Pineapple Paradise. Six types of beer on tap at $6 or $7 a pint – Guinness, Sam Adams, Brooklyn, Warsteiner, Coors Lite and Goose Island – not a bad little selection. Seems they rotate the beers seasonally too. They also offer a nice list of canned and bottled beers such as Pork Slap, PBR, and Tecate. With the long happy hour it makes for a great drinking spot. There are also some house cocktails at $10 each that are made nice and strong. If hungry there is also a small pub menu with tasty munchies such as hot pretzels, sliders, fried pickle chips, and pizzas. Perfect to help soak up all that alcohol in your belly!
As I stated before, happy hour here runs late until 8PM and everything is half off! Plus, they have an everyday special of a $6 Genny, PBR, or Coors Light with a well shot after 8PM. Time to get your boozin’ on!
Cozy bar, chill vibe, non pretentious friendly crowd and bartenders, great happy hour. Just a terrific remedy for what ails you. This is definitely a Destination Bar & Grill to pay a visit to if in the area. Really, who can resist jello shots?

I seriously miss Sam Adams and fried pickles!

Hello Kimberly!
They do have some good pub grub and a great happy hour! I’m sure there must some good beer where you are now.
I’m not a drinker, but I could hog out on some fried pickles!
Hey Fearless!
We could all hog on some fried pickles!
That pretzel looks incredible. And I love the idea of Cherry Coke Jello shots. I may actually try to make those myself.
Hey Dave!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting!
They have a great happy hour and the pub food is good too! The jello shots rock!
You had me at fried pickles, seriously I try them everywhere I go. Can you believe that I’ve never had a jello shot?
Hey Emily!
I love fried pickes too! Briny, salty, and crunchy! Never had a jello shot? They are so much fun. You can make them too!
Damn you Phil and your great looking foodie shots. Hungry again after a visit here.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Jello shot. I hate missing out on things that will knock me on my ass.
Hey Lauren!
I told you my blog is sometimes deadly to a diet!
You must try out some jello shots! You can easily make them too with your booze of choice, usually vodka.
You’re either a terrible influence or a wonderful influence. Your next blog post – jello shot recipes.
LOL! I am an instigator as I’ve been told! 🙂
Great Bar Pics. Place looks great, and half off happy hour prices until 8 pm is a generous deal, still, unabashedly avoid jello shooters.
Hey Peggy!
It’s one of those neat bars that you can spend hours in. Terrific happy hour.
C’mon, you know you want a jello shot now!
Brilliant. Good to know that jello shots are not just for home any more. And I NEED that pretzel, with or without the jello shots (preferably with)!
Hey Karen!
Jello shots to start the happy hour, then the pretzel to help soak up all the booze! It’s a good plan!
Jello shots! Yikes! Can’t handle them…They taste like wine gums and kicks like a donkey (and leave me curled up and incapacitated for days) 🙂
Hey Mitzie!
Hahaha! Still, you have to admit they are fun while slurping them down!
Awesome ambiance! Sounds like another place I’d enjoy. Man, you’re really making me feel as if I need to visit NYC!
Hey Kitt!
I have a lot more to expose you to! You’ll have a full list of places to eat and drink when I get through with you!
Now this sounds like the type of place I would take my close friends to – or people like me – able to rock things in a champagne oyster bar one minute and shots and beer at another. I’ve never had Jell-O shots before but it sure sounds like fun.
I’d come here after a night out on the town or just before, “to-get-the-party-started!”
Hey Victoria!
You can easily make them at home too with some vodka! I suggest you give it a try. Just keep the kiddies away from them.
I haven’t had a jello-shot in quite a while. Perhaps it’s time to remedy that.
Another cool place to check out if I’m ever in your neck of the woods.

Hey Patricia!
I think you need to revisit a jello shot or two or ten!
I think it’s time I tried a jello shot or two and this sounds like the perfect place!
Hey Patricia!
You must do a jello shot party for you friends! Just make a tray and put in the fridge. It’s snowing here so we might do that to get through the day!
Ack! I have a friend that would kill for those pretzels. As for me…jello, please. ;0)
Hey Hazy!
All we need are hot pretzels and jello shots. Life is good!
You had me at Jell-O shots. But I’m sure you already knew that.
Hey Cowboys!
We all need more jello shots! I’m pretty easy to please. I’m sure you could figure that out! 😉
Looks like an eclectically cool place to hang out. I admit, I don’t go out much these days but a place like this could get me off my butt.
Have a great one!
Hey Suzanne!
Time to get off your butt and do some jello shots! 🙂
Fried pickle chips AND pineapple paradise jello shots all under the same roof? I think I’ve died and gone to heaven!
Hey Mother!
It’s Friday! Go out and enjoy with some jello shots! Happy day!
