New NYC bars and clubs

Destination Bar

The nicely appointed and laid-back Destination Bar & Grille offers 10 beers on tap (like UFO Hefeweizen and the appropriate Destination lager), a handful of goofily named specialty cocktails (like the Slappledapolous Islands Rum Punch, $10) and some cringe-inducing "specialty" $3 Jell-O shots (Jell-O shots? really?) in their handsome and bright front bar as well as their handsome and dark back bar, decked with slouchy couches and vintage trunks used as coffee tables. A bar-foodish menu is in the works (pizza, sliders, whiskey Rice Krispie Treats, etc.), but in the meantime take a seat at the gold-tin-plated bar or the window tables while enjoying rock tunes on the jukebox and a Fuzzy Navel & Sour Patch Kid Jell-O shot. Or a beer. Go for the beer.
