    Hit or miss - I spent 3 days here this past weekend locking down spots for the beach concerts. The 75 dollar deal was excellent! It got me a table, 2 drinks and food (everyone in our group tried the limited concert menu and there was not one complaint). The main issue we had was the service and disorganization. I bought a ticket online in advance for Friday and the staff had zero clue what it was. My wife checked and noticed that our son could be in the venue until 7pm - this was denied after she just paid 30 dollars to park. The host promised me another beverage and said to remind him later.. when I did he said he didn't know what I was talking about. Whatever. Night 1 - Waited 15 minutes at the bar while 4 bartenders stood around and talked. I walked to the other side and asked if they were open as there were 5-6 people waiting for service as well. Overall service was subpar but I understood they were short staffed so I left a 40% tip. Originally I asked the guy at the door where the mens room was - he told me there wasn't one. Meanwhile, it's on the opposite side behind the stage. Night 2 - we arrived early again to get our tickets and were told to come back in 2 hours. When we did, most of the tables were gone. Again whatever. We had the same waitress and a larger group this time. Mind you, we're all very generous tippers. As the night progressed I ended up waiting 75 minutes for a drink which was already charged to my card. Otherwise I would have gone to the bar. The waitress explained she was very busy but had no problem getting the table next to us multiple buckets of drinks during that time period. Asked for water at 5:30 every time she came by and we finally got ONE bottle at 9:45. Yes, I'm not kidding. A short while later my check was dropped off. 71 dollars - 41 dollars of which were drinks we did not receive and food that was already paid for. Didn't get a chance to resolve it so we just let it go.. my buddy already threw the waitress 25 (for the food I was charged for) so we considered that the tip. Waitress walks by and curses me off before we left. Sunday - much better service (new waitress) and no issues with drinks... except the water situation again. 4 hours to grab a couple of mini bottles. I eventually ended up going to the bar where the staff were nicer and more attentive. Overall: great place to enjoy the beach concerts but they really need to get organized better. Wait staff could be more friendly and prompt. We had big bills waiting but they ended up back in our pockets after waiting over an hour for a drink.

    I'm giving this place three stars because it's a cool spot right off the boardwalk and beach and the drinks are good. With that being said, the customer service is horrible and the food service. My gf and I ordered a side of french fries to go with our drinks. Before our food comes the waitress asks us if we wanted to pay the bill. I told her no, you don't pay for the bill until you get everything you order (the waitress had an attitude when she first came to our table as well). Glad we didn't pay for the bill because when our fries came they turned out to be onion rings (which took 30 minutes to come). When our waiter came over to see if we wanted to pay the bill now, we pointed out the kitchen got our order wrong (I ate the onion rings anyhow, but my friend didn't) and explained we know it's not her fault. She proceeds to tell us that the kitchen was explaining to her about something fries and onion rings, but because she was busy she didn't understand. Ma'am, did you just tell us that, customers? Lol needless to say my friend told her to take them off the bill and didn't leave a tip.

    My favorite warm weather party spot in Atlantic City by far. It is at a central location along the boardwalk just steos away from Bally's hotel. It has a huge bar, with a great deal for bucket drinks at $16 then $12 for refills. They are situated right on the beach and play throwback 90s music hits from different genres. At night they have a live dj and the crowd gets crazy then this place really turns up. Oh and their daquiris are pretty good! The dress code is very flexible so you can go comfortable but surely with shoes on. Very cool spot to go for good music, to find random people to dance with, go with friends, or look for singles, and enjoy some good reasonably priced drinks.

    I don't know who that friend could be...lol

    Yassss Bally's you deffinantly got this RIGHT! This little beach side bar was so FUN! Close enough that if you have that one irresponsible friends who can't seem to hold her liquor (I mean thier) you can walk them to the room and back in one to two songs...! It was a live band playing a mix of 90's Latin and pop plus a DJ! O don't remember MUCH but it it was the best part of Bally's next to the lighting in the bathroom (which was amazing)!

    This establishment is not closed. It was packed and busy on Saturday around 3pm. The cocktails were watered down, the menu was super basic. I ordered the hot dog with onions and cheese for $10. The cheese was shredded and cold and so was the bun. The main reason for the low review is that for an establishment that makes thousands of dollars per hour, they really should consider investing in some table umbrellas for the customers. All the seating is outside in blazing hot sun but they only have maybe 20% of the tables covered with umbrellas. They had live music and we would have stayed longer and ordered more but it was just too unbearable to sit out like that.

    Went here back in September once casinos reopened. Good experience, pricey as usual but that's expected during a pandemic after months of lockdowns. Weather was perfect and close proximity to the beach.

    This beach bar is another example of Bally's decline. The service is terrible. The food is terrible. The drinks weren't terrible I ordered beer so beer in the can is not terrible. The servers and bartenders were rude. They give you attitude because we ask to place an order. This whole staff should be fired. The security guard by the restrooms was sleeping. Only five tables were occupied and two servers working. We waited 20 mins at our table and my gal pal decided to get the drinks from the bar. The server finally came over and advised me that if I went to the bar to get my drinks I can't sit at table. We Waited 20 mins!!! The Bartender gave my gal pal attitude cause she asked the bartender to pour a drink. She came back to our table. We ordered our drinks from the server. Another mistake I made. I ordered a chicken sandwich. Disaster!!! The one star goes to the entertainment. Close the beach bar down!!!! Or replace the people!!

    This was a nice little bar we visited. We were actually headed to Bare Exposure located next door…read morebut when we found out they don't have alcohol, we decided to get a few drinks at BS first. It was the middle of the day so the place was pretty empty. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very cool. She had some good shows on TV and she poured heavy. The bar had a bunch of funny signs all over the place. It's a chill dive bar and I'm sure on a busy night it's probably a great place to grab an unpretentious drink. We found out we could buy drinks from BS and bring them next door which get you around the whole no alcohol situation. I mean, if you're going to Bare Exposure in the daytime, you might want to grab a stiff drink beforehand.

When we asked for our second drink the bartender was about to make them and got stopped by another customer who she talked to for a while. We thought then she would make them and as other people entered, she was serving them first. We were 2 of the only people sitting at the bar with our empty glasses right in front of us waiting (we waited for about 20 minutes). We couldn't believe it! We were given the wrong change and it was just a mess! Hopefully it was just an off night but we unfortunately will not be back.

    BAD BUNNY FOREVER!! HUELEBICHOS…read more My experience at Ducktown Tavern was beyond unacceptable. From the second we walked in, the hostility was obvious. The staff was cold, dismissive, and openly rude -- not just inattentive, but deliberately disrespectful. The looks, the tone, the body language -- everything about the interaction felt degrading. As Latinos, we were made to feel unwelcome and unwanted. It was painfully clear that we were not being treated with the same basic courtesy given to others. No one should ever walk into a restaurant and feel judged or looked down on simply for who they are. To make matters worse, the place was dirty and poorly maintained, and the food was mediocre at best. For the way we were treated, the quality of the meal didn't even matter -- the experience was already ruined. There is absolutely no excuse for making customers feel uncomfortable or disrespected. I would strongly caution anyone who values dignity and professionalism to think twice before spending their money here.

    OK (emphasis on just OK) locals spot that's about a 5-6 minute walk from Caesars and 10 minute walk…read morefrom Tropicana on Atlantic Avenue, a couple blocks inland from Boardwalk Hall. Been coming to Atlantic City for many (15+) years but checked this spot out for the first time a couple Sundays ago to watch the Eagles game and because I'd heard the wings were good here. Although small, Ducktown is a nicely set up spot centered around a single long bar. Got their an hour or so before the Eagles game and there were a few seats left at the bar so I grabbed one. One thing that mildly irked me was the game of musical chairs played at the bar. Maybe 5 minutes after I sat down, an older lady asked me if I wouldn't mind switching seats with her to make room for some friends she had coming in later for the game (which I did). Minutes after that a handful of other customers were asked to shift down one seat so another customer could sit next to his buddies. So musical chairs seems to be a thing at this bar. For a small bar the menu is fairly extensive. Ordered a couple of IPAs at the bar. What's semi-ridiculous though is you can't order food directly from the bar; you have to order it from another server who will place the order at the adjacent tavern and bring the food back to you. Also the food and drink had to be processed as separate checks (as opposed to under just one check). I ordered the 10 pc. hot wings ($14.50) and the mozzarella sticks appetizer ($6.50 with appetizers being half off during Eagles games). The mozzarella sticks were OK but I didn't like the wings - they weren't "hot" at all and were drier than I expected... not sauced to the level I expected. Watched most of the game and headed out a couple hours later. One thing to note is this spot does charge a 2.89% "administrative" fee for all credit card purchases. Another thing to note is that the restaurant's credit card processing system is powered by Toast where the restaurant has the default "suggested tips" amounts set up as 20%, 40%, and 60% LOL. I've never in my life seen 40% and 60% as suggested tip amounts on the receipt/e-processing system, so be very careful what buttons you press to leave a tip here. I'd personally rate this place 2.5* due to what I thought were subpar wings and shady credit card processing but I decided to round up to 3 due to the server and waiter being nice enough people who provided pretty good service. May or may not return, there are definitely better pubs out there in AC. Decent spot to watch games if you're an Eagles fan though.

Well, the "Irish Pub" you know from the Monopoly game is actually this real property, "The Irish Pub and Inn", here on St. James Place in Atlantic City. Also, the game's iconic red hotel design inspired the game's red hotels, making it a real-life landmark for Monopoly fans. During most of the year, this legendary, 24/7 pub is famous for its unique, memorabilia-filled atmosphere and historical ties to AC, the Monopoly game, prohibition, etc., attracting visitors who enjoy its authentic, home-style vibe. But during Christmas, its decorations are on a whole other level of amazingness. Photos will not permit you to understand just how fantastic the volume and scope of lights, ornaments and figurines abound all around the restaurant and bar areas. The owner starts decorating weeks before Christmas adding new items each day through Christmas. You can't miss catching the Christmas spirit here, while taking in some spirits! It is a cash only venue. Make sure to come prepared. But if not? They do have an ATM onsite to help pay for the classic fish and chips or / AND the St James Potatoes. Those fries are like a poutine for those who know. The service is no frills but provided with pride and a smile, always. You can never go wrong here for a quick, basic, and satisfying meal and drink at reasonable prices in good company.

They had a Valentine's Day dinner special that was just nothing but goodness. From the beets salad, to the 8oz filet topped with crab meat and the Chocolate Fondant for desert.

We also ordered fries and truffle fries (subbed instead of regular fries), and everything tasted fantastic. That said, the pricing gave me a little pause. About $75 for two burgers, truffle fries, and sodas felt steep, but honestly, the flavor helped justify it... at least a teeny bit. Later in the evening, we returned just for drinks and dessert, which were both solid. The espresso martinis were especially good (though at nearly $20 each, expectations are high), and we had more than a few. The only real downside was service during our second visit. When we let the staff know we weren't ordering food since we had already eaten earlier, our silverware and napkins were quickly cleared and our water glasses were taken as well. I had to request that water glasses stay and be filled, which felt awkward and honestly a bit dismissive, especially given the cost of the drinks we were ordering (4 of us). Overall, excellent food and drinks, but the service inconsistency took away from the experience. With more attentive hospitality, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Solid option and they can deliver to the room if you scan from the room. We ordered and asked for it to be delivered and they said they couldn't. We returned for breakfast the next day and the food was delicious and hot! Definitely delivered...
