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.

Love the decor in the place too - would definitely come to try their full dinner menu. I've never seen cheese around the entire bowl of soup so they are definitely generous with it!

You can see in the picture it's already collapsing into the soup. Still happy we tried it though!

My wife and I settled into the Borgata Lobby Bar for a nightcap last night, the way one settles…read moreinto a thought that is not quite satisfying but will do in the moment. There was a live pianist taking requests, and he was good. Competent, even charming, although his frequent reminders that songs will be played in order of greatest tip to least made us think his salary was entirely gratuity based. He played what people wanted to hear across a wide spread of genres, which is a kind of small miracle. Still, it felt like a watered down substitute for something that once had a pulse. The ghost in the room was Gypsy Bar, which used to offer actual live music on weekends. Closing it was, in my opinion, a small but meaningful cultural error. Now, between B Bar, Long Bar, and this place, the Borgata has achieved a kind of perfectly acceptable sameness. Three bars, none of them offensive, none of them memorable. My wife ordered her usual gin and tonic, a drink that asks for very little and is satisfied when it receives it. I went with a Sazerac, motivated by the presence of absinthe, which I had somehow avoided my entire life. It turns out absinthe does not cause hallucinations, unless you count the fleeting belief that you are having a more interesting drink than everyone else. Still, it was well made and nicely presented, as was hers. Service was slow, which felt odd given that the bar was not especially crowded. Not neglectful, just unhurried in a way that made you aware of time passing. Prices were what one expects in a casino hotel lobby. High enough to remind you where you are. In the end, it is fine. Perfectly fine. You'll probably get a pretty good drink, you might hear a pleasant song, and except for your wallet, you'll leave no worse off than when you arrived. But you may also find yourself remembering something better that used to exist in the same building, and wondering why it doesn't anymore. Four stars, though at least half of one of them is doing a fair amount of emotional labor.

We arrived early 'cause we're old, we didn't want to stand all night, and hoped to grab a table by the bar. We had to wait for 5-10 minutes outside before the doors opened at 7:00. It was cold out there! While we stood there, a bouncer came outside and stood with us. He could have remained indoors where it was warm. But in a gesture of silent solidarity, the dude joined us in the cold until the doors opened. He didn't make a big deal about it, just stood with us. You know, in our angry, cynical, stressed out world, it's awfully nice to witness a small display of humanity. Thanks, big guy. Once inside we snagged a table near the bar. I asked the bartender for a virgin strawberry margarita for my wife. But alas, the margaritas are premixed and they'd all lost their virginity. The bartender offered to make a substitute concoction for my wife. She asked me to report back and if my wife didn't like the drink, she'd comp us. Again, real decency. And good mixology, too. The drink was great. The show was fantastic, the acoustics outstanding, and the overall vibe at ARC is cool but unpretentious. It's a kick-ass independent music venue.

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.
