Stinks, far too expensive. I am not sure why I am even wasting my time on this review. The one only reason this bar gets a second star is because it was actually open late. Dead though. 9 dollars for cheap light beers, poor service, awful music, and useless bar managers. A bunch of idiots standing around doing nothing. No one making an effort to show the patrons a good time. I hear they allow dogs which is a plus I guess. Sadly, we'll put as much effort going back as those bar managers put in to their hospitality efforts. Zero Thanks read more

We never miss a chance to visit this fun place! Great service and wonderful vibe! If you are in the area you should definitely stop in! Cheers! read more

F'n phenomenal bar. Great place for all kinds of different folks. And wonderful pool tables.

Good bar, drinks are good and at a good price. Bouncers are friendly and good, nice music and good grunge/dive bar with pool tables etc

It's my first time coming to EJ's Tap house for a surprise bday get together for my boyfriend's Uncle Mimmy's 60th Birthday Party. My first impression was meeting Uncle Mimmy, he's so polite, nice & funny as hell, he's a nice person to be around. As a matter of fact, I met Amanda George's cousin, who is also so so nice, & Maryellen George's Auntie, she's also so sweet. Everyone in George's family is so so nice, polite and friendly; & also welcoming too. Anyways, when you go into EJ's Tap House, it's a nice bar area with a nice seating area to drink beers, or alcoholic beverages, non alcoholic beverages too & also play pool too. It also had a board to write what ever you want on it also which is pretty cool. Overall EJ's Tap House is a cool place for a gathering!! Go check out EJ's Tap House & #GetYaDrinksOn read more

Very noisy and the crowd is a little rough. Drinks are priced good cash only. Bartenders are sometimes friendly.

Server was good and friendly. Lots of tvs for sports. Wings were good. Beer was better Cool place read more

*This review is for a Friday night experience* The good: -Pretty relaxed vibe, dive bar feel -Pool tables were available -Music was decent -Beer was good -Lots of TVs with ESPN playing The bad or FYI -Cash bar which is ridiculous, oh but dont worry they have an ATM. Who keeps cash on them anymore, but hey enjoy the ATM fee. Id probably go back for swing in and grab a drink experience, but the whole cash bar only thing is a huge turnoff. read more

What's a trip to the shore without visiting Seaside Heights. We had driven down from Avon-by-the-Sea to spend an hour or two before driving down to Barnegate to meet up with friends for lunch. Unfortunately the weather had other plans and because most to all dining is now outdoors (thanks COVID-19) the lunch became a washout. So while walking the boardwalk umbrella in hand we found sanctuary in an open air but sheltered utopia providing thirsty travelers a place to rest their weary bones and quench the parched throats. All BS aside, a good place to sit drink and once again, people watch. They don't serve food here and I didn't ask if at one time they did. There's a stage with a drum set but a lady that was inquiring was told "no bands" at this time due to? You guessed it PANDEMIC! Live music tends to attract crowds so no can do. So speaking with the bouncer/greeter/sanitizing guy at the entrance. He told us that if we want to order food and eat at their tables that we can order at any of the close by restaurants and one of their waitress could bring it to us, or we could just get it ourselves. So off I went to forage while my wife waited patiently for my return. I would expect this place to do quite the business post pandemic and hope to be able to visit next summer and listen to some live entertainment. read more

Don't come here. Dive bar at its finest. Annabelle says last call but won't get you a drink. Poor lil thing thinks she's in Charge wrong answer. Do not recommend at all. .. read more

SEASIDE HEIGHTS: located on the northern end of the boardwalk, and popular with locals, EJ's Tap House is a great place to have a drink. Both the inside and outside are dog friendly! The outside has views of the boardwalk and ocean. Inside has plenty of bar seating and pool tables. This is a great place to hang all year round and a good option for an indoor activity with your dog! read more

9$ atm machine! Loser bouncers .. loser crowd.. over priced drafts .. I can go on.. Local read more

At least I feel better when reading the reviews on here bcuz absolutely the women bartenders were so incredibly rude to me and I have never had that experience and yes I'm pretty old! Lol Stay away and do not spend ur money here bcuz there r so many other places where the people actually WANT ur biz. Clearly these people don't read more

One of the only dive bars located right on the boardwalk. The bouncers are extremely nice and the bartenders always seem happy to serve. The drinks are inexpensive.. And the shots are a bargain! The other night, my friend and I started our bar crawl here. To start, we ordered two buds and a shaker filled with green tea shots. The total overall was only $16.00! The shaker had about 8 shots total inside! Absolutely one of the best deals shot wise you will find on the boardwalk! They also have a ping pong table and a ton of pool tables. The pool tables and pool sticks were extremely cheap. The tables were slanted and a lot of the sticks were broken. However, still a good way to pass the time with a friend. They also have both outdoor seating and indoor seating. No dress code, you can come here wearing literally anything. Overall, a good spot to stop in and get your drink on! read more

DO NOT WASTE your TIME or your MONEY stepping foot in this pitiful place. If zero stars was an option that would still be too high. EVERYTHING was POOR! Tables, floor, bar, bathroom absolutely filthy. Cash only in 2021??? I guess that is so you have to use the ATM they charge you to use. Then you get ripped off paying a fortune for a watered down drink. NO FOOD available. The music was awful and so loud it hurt your ears. Covid rules only seem to apply to those that are not regular customers. We were told to put our masks on but looked around and saw 90% of the people standing at the bar without masks. However, the WORST part about this place is the employees. They are down right classless and RUDE. Not sure how they make a living working for tips. 100% WORST establishment I have ever been to. Not sure how this place is able to stay open. read more

Came to Jersey shore on a whim ! Stopped here to get a few drinks throughout going to the beach. Very clean bar. The bartender was super attentive and the prices were fair ! I would indeed go back read more

Chill bar with a nice atmosphere and some pretty cool staff, nice bartenders and a door man. Hands down the best bar on this boardwalk. And the prices are right!! read more

Trashiest bar on the boardwalk. Only come here if you want to get ear cancer. The music is blasting so loud it makes your head hurt, and the music is awful. Screaming, heavy metal. On top of that it is cash only, not sure what century we're living in here. read more

My husband and I typically are not bar people but we are locals and took a walk on the boardwalk this beautiful summer night. A once a summer thing. However, we decided to stop in and hear the band which they were absolutely fabulous and stayed because of them. The service was terrible, bartenders were very rude. The brunette couldn't even be bothered and the blond who was running all over the place at one point said she would no longer serve me. We had bought a few drinks for other people and I wanted one more drink as it was getting late and she would not serve me. We were not belligerent or anything remotely uncivil. As one of these reviews suggested DO NOT spend your money here!! read more

Scanned our IDs and payed to play pool while like half our party bought drinks. Come out of the bathroom and security demands we ALL buy drinks or leave immediately. We buy drinks to comply and they straight up take them out of our hands to get us to leave at exactly 1am after MAKING us buy them. Accuse us all of being underage despite our SCANNED IDs. Make whoever in our party who finished their drink LEAVE instead of letting us stay together to finish them while other customers are still drinking. Put a legit wrench in the door to lock people out. Absolutely ridiculous DO NOT COME HERE read more

Was just chilling in there enjoying my beer and the scumbag "security" guard aka someone who thinks he's hard because he has a shirt that says security on it tries to kickout my group whoever didn't have a drink when we were right about to finish our drinks, literally two sips or less in each of our drinks. Very out of pocket for no reason when they could've just said "hey guys we're closed, could you guys finish your drinks and make your way out?" Definitive scumbags over here. Don't go here unless you want to be treated like you're sub-human. Service was garbage, don't go here unless you're hard pressed to get hammered. Place was dead on saturday night too, huge red flag. read more

After a few nights at this venue I got the worst service I've ever experienced. The bartenders suck and had to be waved down to get a drink Wtf .. Might want to sober up your staff obviously they are impaired read more

One of the few remaining old fashioned rock-and-roll bars in Seaside, and it's right on the boardwalk. Beers aren't too expensive. They have pool tables and a patio. Live bands aren't always great but they're fun anyway. Last time I stopped by, however, the place was full of gang members. Also, a guy in an SS t-shirt. They were all minding their own business but I would hate to get caught in the crossfire if something went down. So you might want to steer clear unless you really enjoy living on the edge. read more

EJ's Tap House, 919 Boardwalk, Seaside Heights. EJ's Tap House has come a long way in making it self a better place. The entertainment during the summer time is much better. Bar tenders are much better. They did a excellent job in fixing the place up. read more

My boyfriend and I went here on late Wednesday night and whoever the older women bartender was with the dark hair was SO rude !!! Would not even look at us while we were talking to her and it was very obvious she wanted nothing to do with anyone. The people playing pool right next to us felt the same exact way. They were stunned at the way this bartender was speaking to them. She was absolutely miserable read more

i like the dingy feel of this place. there is one long bar when you walk in, pool tables, and a ping pong table in the back, along with a few arcade games. we stopped in as the last place on our boardwalk beer crawl and enjoyed the beer special and a few games of ping pong. seems like the place you'd go to meet some drunk old men, or to watch the interesting crowd mingle about. read more

I really love this place as a summer hangout spot with friends. You have 2$ pints & 7$ pitchers everyday, you have 5 pool tables, a ping pong table, a few arcade classics in the back, and a jukebox that makes you feel like buying a harley and sporting some leather. This is a locals bar, you wont find too many obnoxious guidos in here. It has a bit of a "biker bar" feel. But the bartenders are friendly and its just a great no frills bar, what you see is what you get. Grab a barstool and watch the bennies walk by and see how many guys you can spot wearing socks with sandals. read more

Very professional, beyond friendly. I have a service dog that happens to be a mastiff/Pitbull. You could only imagine the size and how the norm would react. This place made us feel at home. The respect for his vest and admiration of his breed was greatly appreciated. I couldn't have picked a better place to play pool. to the young lady behind the bar & the gentleman at the door, my dog thanks you for the water and hospitality. read more

The dive bar of the boardwalk! It's been renovated over the years, so it's not nearly as divey as before, but all the changes (minus drink prices) have been good (especially the bathrooms). They have a large deck on the side, which is great for people watching on the boardwalk. They feature more bands now, and because of the lay-out of the bar you can listen to the music and still have a conversation.Feel free to bring in food as well, it's a very laid back place. I have a lot of great summer memories here. read more

I give this bar a zero rating for the treatment that I received as I would from the experience say if you are of color you will not be served!! I went into said establishment with my friend at around 3:30 - 4:30 . We sat at the bar and were waiting patiently for the only female white bartender (And I am calling out her race so that no one can say "oh what if she was Black or Hispanic") to take our order. We sat there for a few minutes as she took orders from other patrons, and after she finished serving them she never came to where me and my friend were sitting. I politely tried to call her attention making eye contact and she just ignored us. This happened a total of 4 times and each time I made direct eye contact and made a slight gesture with my hand to call her attention and each time she made eye contact and made a stink face. She made it obvious that she saw us and was not happy to be there. There were patrons that go there after us and were (WHITE) and served right away. I tried to call this to the attention of security and asked for management but when security tried to justify her actions that's when we saw that this was a lost cause. If you are a person of color you will NOT be treated equally!! AVOID this bar!!! read more

It has been a long long time since I have visited Seaside Heights NJ. It will be an even longer time before I return. With that said if you are down there an want a cold beer EJ's is a good place to grab one or 10. They had a decent selection of craft beers, plus your typical crap overproduced American beer. But at $5 for a pint it really can't be beat. I enjoyed guzzling down quite a few Victory Summer Love Ales on tap. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg just a little liver damage but hey that's what transplants are for. On a scorching hot & humid Sunday in July I watched Croatia and Russia advance to the next round on Penalty kicks, in between I ventured out into the weirdness of Seaside Heights. EJS made that a little easier & happier. read more

$2 beers, Pool Tables, Outdoor Seating, Juke-boxes, Fast service....how can you go wrong? Whenever in Seaside I make it a point to come here to kill some time shooting pool with friends and give my wallet a break! My only "complaint" is it's small and the pool-tables fill up quickly. Just remember it's a dive bar. So if you are looking for something a bit more upscale this isnt the place for you, otherwise go, you won't be disappointed! read more

Not a high class clean bar but great for a game of pool and cheap beer. Locals gang out here including a guy with parrots on his shoulders!? read more

EJ's Tap House - Parrots included ... - American Near Me - Seaside Heights, New Jersey

Fun place for drinks and shooting some pool. Didn't have any food but the staff was friendly and the drinks were good

Nice spot on the boardwalk. Good beer selection. We stopped in during the afternoon, not crowded at all. Very relaxing to sit at the bar, escape the heat, enjoy a cold one, and watch some sports on TV. The bartenders were great. read more

Dive bar with bud and bud light on tap. Everything else is bottles. It's a good place to chill out and shoot pool. They have five pool tables at a dollar a game. They do not serve food here but you can grab whatever you want on the boardwalk and stop here with it. They have tables outside on a balcony that are good for fresh air and people watching. read more

In 2019 you should be able to pay with a credit card but not at EJ's. This place is cash only for no good reason and they don't even serve food. There are other places on the boardwalk where you will have a far better time. read more

Bar tenders dont give you the right change back...you might wanna double check how much they give you.

Customer service is not the best, beer kind of warm, belligerent drunks, no food available. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
