Before you go, remember to take 10 forms of ID. This place thinks they’re a passport agency or the DMV. I waited in line for 30 min just to get denied because they didn’t take the type of license i had. & the “securities” that look 15 years old we’re super rude about it. They must think they’re tough for working a security job. There was no need to act big, aren’t you supposed be nice to your customers?? & isn’t a bar based on age not what type of form of ID you have?? If that’s your policy make it known, have your people tell your customers who are waiting in a long line so you don’t waste their time.

By far one of the worst places I've been too . As a travel and restaurant enthusiast whom dined at 5 star restaurants and bars. The environment and the services I had experienced in this place is terrible. In addition, to a low rating my party of 8 and I dined at the bar and the music and power kept on going out every 25 mins . The DJ music of selection was not good and not diverse . The DJ kept on playing old teens 2000 music like Cascada. If there was more diversity of real Latin Music or Better Club remixes it will attract more people. The food and the bar service is over priced and forgettable. I asked for a glass of sangria at the bar . And the bartender I spoke to quoted "we don't make that here". But then gave a Contradiction quote back and told me she can do a white sangria ? I agreed to what she offered and whatever she created was not a good at all. It tasted like a watered jungle juice. I eventually asked for a napkin with my drink and told me she couldn't do that for me.. I have experienced and seen prejudice people before in my life and this bar is one of them. Allowing people at the bar to swear and to talk about Politics out loud was not very inviting to me. The environment and the wait staff was not very welcoming in over all and as a diverse person I felt like a fish out of water and i did not belong. I will never come back to this place ever again.

Great bar, I like the environment but not the clothing policy and long lines. Bartenders tend to ignore you when your asking for too many drink on beat the clock, bit not all of them. Would revisit.

Best bar I have been to at the NJ shore. Parking is ok they do their best Servers and bartenders are very nice people, very friendly tip them well they deserve it. Food was delicious and on time. I love the outdoor part of the bar it is amazing. Great place to see a show inside of the venue. Support this bar they support live venues and are nice enough to host events. A few blocks away from the beach.

Tuesday night is mostly worth it. $20 cover but then the beer costs 50c which is amazing. I spent $4 in drinks the whole night which makes the cover worth it. Overall, a fun club. I recommend showing up after 9 on Tuesdays to avoid waiting in line for 1 hour to show your ID.

Cool bar, but high cover charges, lots of 21 year olds, and the bouncers just love to kick people out. Got kicked out for sitting down one time. Overall pretty bad place, takes your money and gets really crowded. Would not recommend. Cops also love to hang outside and arrest people. Seen it with my own 2 eyes 👀

About 16 to 20 of us went to there to attend a charity event for veterans. I was a little surprised that bar a did not advertise this on their website. I think a lot more people would have attended if they had. It was a beautiful day and the bands were all great and the cause was a good one. We had appetizers and Cocktails and donated to the cause.

Amazing service from our server Paisley this weekend. She was attentive, helpful, friendly, and didn’t miss a single request. I was unlucky enough to be at this bar during a confrontation where a grown man yelled at this worker and even physically pushed past her. I also work In management in the service industry for many years, and am disappointed in what I saw here. The manager gave this man a free meal when he should’ve been asked to leave for being drunk and physically intimidating to the worker. I would’ve asked a customer like that to leave the business and never return. I would ONLY return because of this server, but the management is disgraceful. They may think people don’t notice, but we do. And that ruined my night. Planning to visit, request this server, and make up for the tip this unruly man didn’t leave.

Went here after a COVID memorial walk. Food was good drinks were reasonably priced and service was great. Only reason for 4 stars was there was no outside heating on a brisk day and no option for the party to move indoors because of the great turnout. I will def return for their great wings, nachos and cold beer.

Really good food and specials. It's close to train and easy to get a safe ride after a night here. I've been here off and on for 8 years. It's like a well-oiled machine. Some of the bartenders are salty. Just go to a different one. Outside bars are fun but don't bring dogs. Under 21 allowed u til a certain time so plan accordingly.
