“We visited Haven lounge, met Mixologist Isaac Grillo and knew immediately this was a Voodoo Tiki destination”, said Jennifer Serle VP Press Relations. “We add less than 300 new retailers each year, so choosing new retail outlets can get tough, but Haven Lounge featuring Isaac Grillo’s masterful creations was an obvious choice.”
