SEASIDE HEIGHTS: we enjoyed hanging out at the Aztec Bar and leashed-dogs are allowed at their outdoor deck. Since Aztec is located right on the corner, you can easily get there without being on the boardwalk too long. It is a boardwalk party bar that was featured on the Jersey Shore TV show. Like Snooki, Brie always says "the party's here!" We met a family from Texas enjoying drinks and amazing views of the Ferris wheel. A great place to people watch, but we recommend taking your pup during less busy times when it's not as crazy. read more

Aztec Sand Bar and Grille - a dog standing outside - Music Venues Near Me - Seaside Heights, New Jersey

This is a bar that the jersey shore cast would frequently visit so my friend and I had to stop here. The inside is slightly dated, but the bartenders were kind and the Drinks were just fine! no food, good for big crowds because of the open dance floor. read more

Karaoke is fun, drinks are strong & prices are decent. Just needs a good cleaning & make over.

Poor service. Food was OK at best. We waited an hour for our food before we finally decided to go somewhere else to get dinner. Place was actually almost empty. 0 stars read more

Fast & friendly service, decent prices, good music to dance to (at least on the Saturday night I went)... nothing to complain about at all, will definitely come back next time I'm in seaside. read more

Babies and children can come here and sit at the bar? Colors aren't allowed? As a business, I am only requesting this establishment to think about the way the sign reads. And possibly update the sign so people who aren't familiar with gangs don't mistake what it means. I am a designer, and know this is possible! I hope they would take my request into consideration. So far I have only received defensiveness and rudeness from staff who laughed about the sign and told me it was a joke. I'm sure I am not the first person to make a comment about this. Sign reads: NO SPORTS JERSEYS NO COLORS NO BAGGY CLOTHES NO DU RAGS read more

All I can say is four ladies, four Different dinners, and four toilets full of puke. Speaks for itself. Be WARNED. read more

I wouldn't bother trying to grab a drink here, plenty of other places on the boardwalk that won't give you a hard time! I went to seaside for my 24th birthday, and I was denied a drink because I didn't have TWO forms of ID... TWO?! Hardly anyone will travel with two forms of ID that has your photo on it - to a bar of all places. The man working told me he couldn't serve me because I didn't have a passport or anything else to go ALONG WITH my ID!! Ridiculous. & He wasn't too nice about it either. It was if he was trying to play a joke. Everywhere else won't demand 2 forms of ID & they're friendly. read more

they have a sign that says - "no sports jerseys no colors no baggy clothes no du rags" seems like they are trying to say something read more

I used to enjoy stopping here to grab a drink while walking the boardwalk but not anymore. We stopped in here on Sunday afternoon and there were SO many flies covering the windows on the INSIDE! it was disgusting. We could only stand to be there for one drink because we were so grossed out. read more

Unfriendly vibe. The signs should be updated. It's unfortunate to run across this ignorance over here. Boardwalks all over the country welcome people to their establishments from all over the world. Only U.S. I'D's accepted here. We have friends in from the U.K. I guess they can't come here, too bad. read more

I've been to The Aztec countless times and when my sister, Lori, was visiting from Cali recently, we stopped in again after walking the Seaside boardwalk from end to end. The Aztec sits right on the Boardwalk on the northern end. In the summer this place is packed and I mean hard to walk to the bar packed. But that's fun sometimes isn't it? I have sat outside for lunch on a crowded summer afternoon and that's pretty cool too, as one or two tables sort of jut out into the boardwalk so that a large part of the boardwalk crowd is coming straight at you. Great for "people watching"! But on this beautiful October day the place was empty, and by that I mean Lori and I were the only patrons at the bar! But they were open for business, so we had a few drinks and spoke to the absolutely gorgeous barkeep, Jessica, who I introduced to my SISTER, right away. Jessica was glad to have some company and we chatted the entire time we were there. The bar is attached to a rather seedy looking hotel that I don't believe I would ever be drunk enough to stay in. But the bar is a very cool spot to party. read more

When you go go a bar and ask the bartender if he has Malibu Rum & the bartender says that he does have Malibu rum, you would think that behind his bar is MALIBU RUM. When I ask for MALIBU & Club, I am expecting to see a bottle of MALIBU in the bartenders hand. Nope. Apparently when you ask for a SPECIFIC alcohol, they assume it's substitute will do. Had the bartender said, no I do not have Malibu, but I have bacardi coconut instead, I would have changed my drink. Bacardi is syrup. I don't want syrup. I want malibu. This place is gross inside. I came July 2. Met up with a few friends. Before I arrived, the DJ'S laptop malfunctioned so there was no music from the DJ, just, idk, Pandora maybe. This place isn't worth it for the price of their drinks. Especially when they pretend to have what you want. read more

Horrible service !!! I had a bad experience with the bartender's attitude. I was denied a drink because I did not have a US Id

Horrible experience, my wife and her friends went there around 1pm today and she was denied alcoholic beverages because she had a Colombian ID showing she was over 21. The woman bartender only accepted US ids. This is ridiculous -- also one of her friends asked for a cocktail without alcohol and she was told that they didn't make it. A few people stood up and left after witnessing the bartender's behavior. She left a bad taste of the place for my wife and we will never go there. Please avoid read more

I would give 0 stars. From Ohio. Gave my legit ID. Security just kept yelling at us and tried to say it's fake. Legit 21. A real ID and security can't tell... How can you even be a security guard? Beefed up security guards cussing out young smaller women and continued to cuss at us when we left. What is wrong with them? Are they drunk, or on something else? They were really mad read more

Waitress was nice but service was slow. Food was mediocre at best. read more

Well not much to say about this place, we stopped at the bar during our visit to the shore, we decide to take a break from the beach & come grab some drinks , unfortunately u can't take the drinks w u to the beach...which kinda sucks since it was the reason for taking a break, but oh well I guess drinking on the beach is not allowed. The frozen daiquiri's were ok they seem to lack alcohol !! The price was pretty cheap but the way I see it ..charge me a little more & give me a decent drink !! read more

MUST READ BEFORE GOING I've worked in a restaurant and seen bad days. I mean, we all have em. This place has way too many bad days. First, it had very mediocre options as far as food. Second, the bartender walked around the restaurant in as much as a t shirt and bikini bottoms. This surprised me because it was the only other family sit down place that wasn't fried food. Absolutely no class. Lastly but most importantly, the service was TERRIBLE. T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. The food took forever and the waiter wasn't friendly. If I could give this place lower than 1 star, I would. Just save your money and go to Klees. read more

Wouldn't know how the food was because no one served us. It's perfect if you want to play a game of squeeze the ketchup. I'd give 0 stars but I can't. read more

Came on a Wednesday morning for breakfast with my mom, about 10:30 am. ONLY customers in there. Right off the bat, we are told they are out of sausage, bacon, and fresh fruit. No big deal. My mom orders eggs over medium with dry toast and I ordered 2 scrambled eggs with spinach and sliced uncooked tomatoes. After about 10 minutes we are told they don't have spinach. No big deal, peppers and onions please. While we wait, we set out on the task of finding a fork that didn't have unknown brown substance on it in fork him in middle of table. We get our food, and my moms toast is globbed with butter. No big deal. "Can I have dry toast please?". Girl takes buttered toast away and says dry toast will be right out. After waiting another 10 minutes my mom goes up to the counter with an expectant smile, and the lady gives her a rude "can I help you?" Uhhhh just that toast please... The lady walks over, grabs the cold toast with her hands, and hands it to my mom. Mmmmm very sanitary, thanks. My mom couldn't really eat her eggs because they were so over cooked with grizzly burnt edges. The brown, unswallowable kind. My plate was filled to the brim with brown scrambled eggs topped with so many peppers,cooked tomatoes, and onions that I could barely lift my plate. Def more than two eggs, and weirdly wet. 16.00 dollars for a barely touched, inedible breakfast and a heaping side of attitude. read more

My boyfriend and I came here with his sister and brother-in-law over Labor Day weekend for an early evening drink. We needed two forms of ID to get in the bar, and once we entered, we were immediately surprised with how rundown it looked. The bathroom was horrifying. It seriously looks like it should be condemned. No toilet paper, of course, but that was the least of my worries. We also noticed how dirty the bar top was, after wiping our area with some napkins. They were black. The drinks were fine and priced decently, but there are plenty of other bars around and I don't need to return here. read more

There was a young lady at the counter and she was the sweetest! I went there for breakfast.. I know weird haha. It was pretty good I would definitely go again and stay at the hotel because it's right on the boardwalk. read more

Great summer parties there...Attached to the Aztec Hotel..Also A great place. If you are looking to party on the boardwalk but keep it simple Aztec will provide a cool night (or day) for you! read more

We came here on the last night of our vacation and completely fell in love. We wanted to go our entire week, but the sign asking for 2 forms of ID swayed us. We finally gave in and were so happy we did. The drinks are cheap, the pour is heavy, and the clientele is a total mixed bag. You've got young folks, older folks, and in between folks. Everyone was quite friendly and we ROCKED karaoke. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went for a couple day time drinks on the weekend, perfect dive bar for the beach. Not too crowded, good views, cheap beer, and fried oreos.

I've been here a couple of times already. Service is okay. Nothing wrong or "exceptional" about this place. Jersey Shore is full of bars/clubs. read more

Deff just a place where you drink it's supper fun in saint Patricks day and polar bear plunge they have a mechanical bull during crazy events and it gets awesome! That's when it's all locals just having a good time. During the summer it becomes typical jersey shore read more

This review is for the Grille side. Been to the bar a couple of times and nothing noteworthy there. The grille side however was a perplexing experience. We ordered a Mafia grilled cheese and a Jersey Shore grilled cheese, one side of fries and a coke... $20+. The Mafia was fantastic! Excellent mix of gooey cheeses, bread was crisp on the outside, and even though it was very oily the sandwich wasn't mushy. The trouble started with the Jersey Shore. Even though they were ordered at the same time, it took at least 5 min longer to get the second sandwich, which meant he was done before mine even came. Then I didn't receive the fries I ordered and had to wait several more minutes for that. I ordered a medium coke, they have a fountain machine...that didn't come either and when I inquired they were less than friendly about soda coming from the refrigerator case...something I was not directed to when I ordered. All of that would have been ok if my sandwich had been any good, but while his looked and tasted like an artisan creation mine looked and tasted like a 5 year old threw it together. It had two slices of processed cheese, one white and one yellow, neither were melted or gooey. The bacon was under cooked and way too much for the sandwich size. The tamoto was paper thin and not fresh. Where his bread was thicker and perfectly golden brown, mine was thin wheat bread that was neither brown or crispy, just a soggy greasy mess. I couldn't eat it. When he complained all the girl said was "sorry". She made no attempt to seem genuinely apologetic, speak to the cook, offer us a new one, refund our money, or tell the manager. What was really amazing was that two of the same type of sandwiches, ordered at the same time, could be so drastically different in presentation, flavor, and edible-ness...they only had 4 people behind the counter and 2 where cashiers...it's not like there were several cooks on the line. And though there where two other tables awaiting food, they weren't slammed or super busy. We most likely will not be back given that it appears to be such a hit or miss, especially for the price. And fyi, the fries are battered :( read more

This place is ok depends on the night I guess

Bypass this place at all costs. High end prices with low end service and food. Ordered a lb of king crab legs and they gave me a plastic cracker and no silverware! Wife ordered seafood pot and it came on a plate! If you want to get beat on head and get treated like a "BENNY" eat here! read more

It's ok. Somenight's there are good girls and some nights the girls are ugly. But when i drink it seems to get better.

Where to start? The one star is for our bartender. I wish I knew her name. I've gone to Aztec once before and there's defintely a reason for that. Went tonight with my bf and his brother - all rode bikes for an hour+ before getting to Aztec. Anyone who doesn't ride bikes that often knows you'll walk a little funny afterwards. Well, that was reason enough for Rocco, the bouncer, to say my bf's brother will be kicked out soon because he walked a bit "weird" and must be on drugs. 20 mins later Rocco, who kept insisting on kicking him out for no good reason and after all of us exchanging some words, offered to meet my bf and brother for a fight at 3am. Ha! Good for you, Rocco. Offering to fight off the job. Shows what kinda guy you are, offering to fight your paying patrons off the job. Policing people around because your job allows you "remove" people because you have a "feeling". I totally get it if we were blacked out and belligerent, I used to bartend myself, but none of us were anywhere near close to being anything but overly nice. Meanwhile, Rocco was too busy to actually know anything anyway, having devoted the majority of his attention to flirting with the young ladies around the entrance. I (female) went to use the restroom before we left because they don't deserve our business, kicked out or not. The women's bathroom is two disgusting stalls - one filled to the brim with sh*t and the other doesn't lock so the main door is wide open to the bar for all to see. I had my bf's brother block the door to the men's single stall so I could go, while Rocco ran over again insisting he wasn't allowed to stay. Even our very nice bartender was extremely confused as to why Rocco wanted him out. Saturday night in Seaside Heights in late June and Aztec was empty, yet a toilet full of sh*t. A bar is a place to get drunk and "walk funny". Don't act like you're better than anyone else because your title is "Sh*++y Seaside Bar Bouncer". Aztec lost business tonight from a very, very loyal seaside customer. I'm just appalled, any other bar on the boardwalk is happy to have your business. Seaside is a place to let loose, not get patronized for letting loose. Oh, also, seeing how negative the rest of the reviews are and that I personally work in marketing and advertising, Aztec needs some reputation management because from the reviews your rep sucks. Don't know who the manager is but someone needs to seriously work on at least not having the toilets filled with sh*t and puke. read more

It takes 30 minutes after you have been seated to be served and extra for your food to come out. I do not recommend at all. Flies flying around everywhere, very unprofessional. Cups are dirty and food isn't really great. read more
