Coco Bongo

The place is the pits waste of money better off spending it in a real club,Bouncers think they are want to be cops and as far as being safe watch your back ! So if you plan to go out make it somewhere else to Enjoy your nite out.

I have the same complaint as the reviewer Chris. I was also ripped off by one of their shot girls. Was there on a Saturday everything was good until about 2:30 in the morning. That’s when their shot girl Karla stole $18.00 in change she was supposed to give me back. I’m guessing it was the same girl that Chris is talking about because she was a short girl with brown hair. She asked me to give her a minute while she got my change, I went too tell my friend something, turned around a few seconds later and she had taken off. If your going to buy shot’s, find one of the other girls. I did call to let them know what happened because I though they would like to know this happen, I was told someone would call me back on Monday which I was ok with but no one ever called, apparently they do not care about their customers. THAT”S BAD BUSINESS.

This place would be good if the people who worked there were more friendly and helpful

Have been going to this place for a few years and always had a good time until my trip there last night. BEWARE they have a new shot girl (short girl with brown hair) working on Saturday nights, was ripped off by her. I watched her as she started to count out my change, when I turned to hand the shots to my friends she decided to take off with my money. If she did that to me I beat she is doing it to other customers. I told one of the bouncers but he didn't seem to care. I am going back next Sat if she is still working there I'm leaving and not coming back. Will update if she is still working there

About 6 years ago this was one the best latin club in the area. It wasnt as luxurius ans now but the music was great....Now, if you tune up to the Alex sensation broadcast it will be what you will hear at coco bongo every thrusday, friday and saturday. Also the employees are a little rude...Better places in jersey.......

The club, which was recently renovated, has a good look to it. but for all its looks, the employees are what bring the place down. a simple question like, "where's the bathroom?" will be returned with a rude answer like "look for it!". i understand dealing with drunk people can be annoying sometimes, but these guys are just jerks! and management doesnt really care, they treat u almost the same, the only difference between the management and employees is management listens to your problem before they reply back to you. but management usually sides with the lies that their employees tell them. these are experiences that happened to me personally and some close friends of mine. wish they could resolve this problem, but doubt they ever will.

I've been going to Coco Bongo for some time now. I travel all the way from NYC to party in Elizabeth. The music is great,lots of variety. The cover charge may be a little high for some since the place is really not that fantastic looking. I enjoy the parties there, they're awesome. Guys are always ready to dance. The drinks are not that reasonable, but overall I would party there any chance I get to travel to NJ. Expect an older crowd, I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing for some? still, you will find good looking guys amongst the older people :)

I've been going to Cocobongo for years; the club has come a long way, Edwin has done a lot to make it look more city like. The bouncers are just plain assholes, no doubt about it; people that go there...eh! You see a lot of old people lately, but I guess unfortunately, they have rights too...lol. Music is usually good, some nights, however, is just lame. Overall, a decent latin club; if you don't get a VIP table be prepare to feel sandwiched most of the night, at least Saturdays.

My experience at coco bongo was very disappointing. i had friends telling me, "OMG!! this is the spot uve gotta come". so i decided to go, first of all that place is overpriced, the bouncers DONT have manners they are very rude and disrespectful with girls and guys. The owner is such an asshole he swears he owns the world. The drinks are not at a reasonable price either and honestly speaking the music sucks!! because the sound or the speakers are unbalanced after i got out of there i couldnt hear my friend talking and i felt it the next day. if you wanna waste ur money and listen to crap music this is the place to go!
