Checked out the place for the first time last night.  Enjoyed the experience.  Its completely renovated and  I love the brick wall.  The owner/manager Leo was very nice and welcomed My friend and I in with a smile.  The waitress was friendly as well as the patrons.  The latin music was hot!  I absolutely love the palm tree and coconuts.  Such a nice touch.  The bathroom is nicely done.  Not feeling the one toilet though.  I cringe thinking about the line on a good night.  lol.
I know where I am going to watch the superbowl if My other plans fall through.
Like I said its not all that it needs improvement burger sliders were cold & salty
Wings were smutherd in barbecue that taste like
Kraft sauce not finger licking. Then wings don't have
enough meat big tease. The waitress was horrible
waited to about 30m until  she came back to see if
we needed anything. 15m is my max come back and
give ur rounds missy. They did a wonderful job in
Renovation of the place. One thing I Dnt agree is one
Restroom it's pretty but u could fit one more toilet in there
Wow! But with peoples opinion this place will get better
On everything... :(
I loved the food and the atmosphere, make me think of being in Miami or LA. I enjoy the music while playing the videos on the TVs, I certainly have not seen anything like this in Boston, I been looking for a place where I can enjoy nice people, great drinks and have a great time.
Good job by the owner to bring something different to town, I can't stop looking at the coconut trees and how clean and beautiful the place is.
I am coming back this weekend as some of my friends are also talking about coming to check it out.

From the ashes of the Old Stag (RIP: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-old-stag-tavern-jamaica-plain">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>) rises Coco's Bar and Lounge.
I live only a few blocks away so grabbed a few game neighbors and we checked out the grand opening this last Saturday.
This place is no Old Stag.
It is far too clean. Everything still has that shiny newness and the stale smoke smell that permeated the Stag has been eviscerated. They completely remodeled the joint- it's open and big, with giant windows looking out onto the street. The big bouncer checking IDs, however, is still there.
And there is actual food. Which isn't completely awful! We only ordered a couple of things to test the waters (something with chorizo on a skewer and.... it totally escapes me. Maybe just some fries? I'll reconvene with my fellow dining companions and update). Mainly fried foodstuffs, but the owner came by and asked us about our thoughts on the menu. I did tell her that the Latin-y vibe they were going for didn't really mesh with the fried mozzarella sticks on the menu. Was hoping for more Latin inspired food- especially since we are smack dab in Egleston Square. It would be uber awesome to have a legit nicer eating establishment in Egleston. Â
TVs. Not normally worth noting, but someone decided they needed a lot of plasmas. It's a little overwhelming actually. The TV to customer ratio is very high.
Service wasn't fabulous, but I had a feeling the girl working our table had never done it before. So slack is given. We'll let them work out the kinks and give the service a proper review after they've had time to settle down.
Either way, it's nice to have our neighborhood bar back in business. Especially one with such a nice lady's room!
