    Inside atmosphere
    Devon G.

    Decided to try this place out on vacation and see if it was any good. First the service wasn't terrible it was just very loud in there and it made it hard to hear the waitress and for the waitress to hear our orders. Another thing I believe that the gratuity is already included in the bill so one of my family members double tipped by accident, oh well but just want to make people aware that it is a thing here. The food wasn't terrible I got a build your own burger and sadly it did come out wrong but I just took off the things I didn't want. I gave it a 6.9/10 on my one bite score which isn't terrible but definitely room for improvement. It was cold in there so I would definitely recommend a jacket just to wear inside! Also the amount of ai slop art on the walls was actually pretty disappointing.

    The ambiance was quaint with an old speakeasy vibe. The decor was spot on. The owner sure thought this theme out. Importantly, the food was incredible! We arrived expecting an average (bar food) meal but got delicious fare with elevated flavors. The components to each meal are so creative and thought out. My family ordered, the Bugsy burger and the Hush Money Melt. Both burgers were beautifully crafted and were consumed quickly. No complaints. I ordered the cheesesteak and it was tender and savory. The fries were delicious and had some crunch to them. Service was eh...ok. Our needs were eventually met. Maybe it is part of the niche. The ambiance makes up for that. Even the music was converted to reflect the sounds of old time 30s jazz yet using modern lyrics and melodies. Really enjoyed this culinary experience.

    This is a very cool speakeasy place near the outlets. The interior is very cozy and the bar looks nice. They have the outside dressed up with a vintage car. It is behind the Iron Hill Brewery (which recently closed), so that is the building in front you see from the highway. The Local has a varied menu with smash burgers, gourmet hot dogs, starters, and libations.

    Oh my goodness! This place was super cute and all decked out for Christmas. The bartender, James, was incredible! He had great recommendations and was enthusiastic about his job. The drinks were amazing! I would visit again for the vibes.

    I want to thank the entire staff at 302 for their excellent service and hospitality. My family (a group of 12) had a 3:30 reservation, and while we were probably a bit challenging, Erica and the team were incredibly patient and accommodating. We truly appreciated their efforts to keep my extended family happy throughout our meal.I'll admit 302 was not my choice for food, but I was pleasantly surprised and happy to have gone. The atmosphere was relaxed with a modern coastal vibe, offering cozy seating and a lively bar area. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy good food and drinks. I started with the smoked Old Fashioned from happy hour, which was a great choice. In the chaos of getting settled I didn't look at the menu, but Erica recommended the McCoy Burger, and it did not disappoint--it was delicious! We shared the happy hour nachos as well. While not the nachos I expected, it was still a good size to share, and they were tasty. There were a few small hiccups with the order, which is understandable with a large group, but the staff went out of their way to make things right. Overall, I'd highly recommend visiting 302 The Local. My wife and I are looking forward to returning for a more peaceful experience without the large group. Thanks again to everyone at 302 for the great food and making our visit so enjoyable!

    We preplanned an evening meal for 25 people at The Local on June 29th. Everyone loved their menu items and the service was terrific! They had to have all meals served within a short amount of time, because the group of people attending the supper was performing at Epworth United Methodist Church, and only had a short window of time to eat. The Local did a wonderful job, and all servers were exceptionally professional and polite.

    Loved the ambiance of this local speakeasy. The decor and music bring you back to the 1920s era. The wait staff and food were delicious. We ordered the baby blue burger and the whisper and they were fresh, juicy and mouth watering delicious. Would highly recommend when you're in town.

Every single dish we ordered was outstanding, no exceptions. Each plate showed real care in preparation, with flavors that were bold, balanced, and memorable. It's rare for an entire meal to hit without a single weak note, but that's exactly what happened here. Only recommendation? Add more N/A options (less juice forward). Maybe a Phony Negroni or something. What stood out most was how the whole experience came together--great food, great service, and great atmosphere rarely align this seamlessly. Shorebreak isn't just a solid meal out; it's the kind of place you start planning your next visit to before you've even left. Highly, highly recommend.

The staff was friendly and service was quick Food: their menu has gluten allergens clearly labeled. we tried numerous appetizers including the crab soup special, fancy fries, deviled eggs, and brussel sprouts. The sprouts were our least favorite of them as they were way to light on the sauce. The other 3 were all very good and I think my wife died over the soup's flavor. The chorizo meatloaf had each component good tasting but when combined was great. The short rib entree was both beautiful and tasty!

    4 stars for the holiday lounge, but 3 stars otherwise…read more The 1927 Lounge is located just off to the side of the casino in the Ocean Resort and offers a mix of slop machine noise/excitement, paired against a quiet corner nook of coziness. The bar occasionally offers live music, but my favorite time to visit is during the holidays, when they turn it into a festive Christmas spot with holiday beverages. There are fun decorations, strands of lights, Home Alone 2 playing on the televisions, and much more to really get you in the holiday spirit. I most recently tried the Pomegranate Margarita on their seasonal menu and thought it was excellent; it was not too sweet or too weak. I should note that there are rarely servers in the lounge area, so you typically need to go up to the bar to place an order, which can disrupt the flow of fun you might be having. Overall, I think the 1927 Lounge is decent on a normal day, but much better when they have a themed takeover happening.

The bartenders are fun, full of personality and make cocktails quickly. And then you have the speakeasy. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but as soon as I walked in I noticed a male dancer up in the cage, followed by about 8 women in costume. The choreography was sexy yet very tasteful. They have acts that incorporate thrilling tricks that keep everyone on their toes. I could not help but take videos so I could show all of my friends and family back at home just how incredible it actually is. You will not be disappointed!

While making the reservation I secretly noted that it was husband's birthday weekend. The tour was $15 a person all well worth it! We arrived a few minutes before the tour started and we're greeted by Jeff. From our first meeting through the end of the tour he was AMAZING. He acknowledged my husband's birthday and even had a little birthday cake emoji printed next to his name on his "employee punch card". Through small talk we learned we had a ton in common. He was VERY knowledgeable while giving the tour and had answers to all of our questions and about most of the antiques on the property. The tasting at the end takes place in a speakeasy where you actually have to call on a phone booth phone and obtain the code to get in the secret doors. It was so funny and cool. The other guy working who answered the phone and talked to us before the tour was Richie. He was great too! There was only one other couple signed up for our tour time so it wasn't over crowded even though they max out tours at 16 persons. I was pleasantly surprised how detailed the tour was and how full of memorabilia and antiques the distillery was. A ton of thought and love went into building it. There is no way you won't love it! We were provided some unexpected souvenirs throughout the tour such as the employee punch card, a personalized "prescription" and a sticker. Jeff also offered to take a picture of each couple in the speakeasy. Overall I have told so many friends and other people we have encountered about it. I will continue to spread the word and highly recommend you go for a tour! Having gone on a ton of other brewery and distillery tours throughout the country and world, my husband and I agree this one is near the top! Thanks again, Jeff!
