At a planning and regulatory meeting on Friday council chiefs agreed with the suggested police amendments to the licensing conditions.
It was decided that owners and brothers, Luis and Andreas Macrides, must increase the amount of door staff from 8pm each night.
The bar's closing times have been reduced from 5am on a Friday and Saturday to 3am, although the brothers say they will be appealing to extend this until 3.30am.
Plastic glasses must also be used from 8pm to prevent violent behaviour as several attacks at the bar involved glass bottles.
Co-owner Luis said: "Looking back we should have made the changes sooner.
"We tried to control it but there was just too many of the wrong type of people getting in. The business was bullied by them."
An entry refusals register must also be kept and regular checks of the toilet must be carried out and logged to avoid incidents happening out of CCTV range.
The hearing was called after police were called to catalogue of violent incidents at Destiny including bottle attacks, thefts and an alleged rape.
Between January 2009 and June this year 223 police incident logs were generated from the late night bar.
Within the same time frame the next highest number of logs was 71 at neighbouring bar Seven in Beach Road.
Since the licence was called in for a review on June 4, the brothers have spent £40,000 on rebranding and refurbishing Destiny as Lacosta's Seaside Bar and Restaurant and will serve food, enforce a stricter dress code and will not play dance music.
The owners voluntarily met with police last month to discuss and implement stricter conditions and since then there have been no incidents at the bar.
Luis added: "This hearing was based on the behaviour at Destiny but we have totally changed so those people don't come here anymore. The whole concept has changed and it is now a safe and classy bar.
