I had heard good things about this bar, but I was sorely disappointed. The cocktails were bland and poorly mixed. It seemed like the bartender was new and had no experience.

Chips and salsa were movie theater nacho chips out of a bag, salsa was horrible, burgers were fake and wouldn’t call them beef, mozzarella sticks were microwaved frozen cheap things where the cheese leaked out and you bite into bread, the servers were taking shots forgetting our order for drinks and everything we asked for, horrible service, horrible food and horrible prices. Paid almost $80 for chips, mozzeralla sticks, 2 burgers and 1 drink each.

Great little rest stop along the boardwalk to catch a drink (nice beer selection) and watch the passerbys. Service has been great everytime. I have yet to try the food (basic pick'ins), so I can't comment there,but i would say its worth the stop.

It has inside and outside tables, so it' was great to sit on the boardwalk and have a couple drinks and watch the people go by. The service is decent and the prices are standard for the tourist area.

Wait staff is very friendly and took care of us right away. Me and my friend had a mango daiquiri in their long tubed cup and it was great. The ice wasn't blended as well as I would have liked but the balance of liquor to mix ratio was perfect. The bad part? Their food. I should have noticed something was up when I was handed a one sided beat up menu. They don't even serve French fries with their sandwiches just potato chips and literally a tablespoon of coleslaw. I ordered the crab cake sandwich and it's the worst I've ever had. It was burned on the edge and had barely any thickness to it. My friend ordered the BBQ pulled chicken and it was pieces of cut up chicken with BBQ sauce on top. My boyfriend had the eye round sandwich which he was not fond of. It was literally just steak on a roll no cheese no condiments no onion nothing. They have a bowl of lemons and limes with no tongs so their all literally touching this fruit with their hands. Since they leave the doors open their are flies behind the bar. The one thing I can say is my drink was priced at 13 which for such a big cup is great. If your going to the boardwalk this should be your first stop for a drink since it will last You awhile while you walk around. Just don't order and fruit on ur cup.

Located right on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. First like to say great frozen drinks (margaritas, daiquiri etc....) and nice outdoor seating for you to enjoy a few drinks on the boardwalk. Unfortunately I couldn't give this place more than 2 stars because there were a lot of flies around the actual bar and the inside didn't look very clean either. We ordered 2 frozen mango daiquiris which came in a huge plastic skinny cups which were delicious. They also serve Long Island ice teas in the same cup for $15 not bad at all. The food at this place was definitely not worth the money. I ordered a sliced eye round steak sandwich which came with just the steak on a roll (steak was over cooked and dry) with a small bag of lays potato chips and 2 forkfuls of coleslaw. Now I am a huge coleslaw fan so I look forward to trying different places coleslaw to compare around. This was one of the worst coleslaws I have ever tasted . Very wet and had a weird aftertaste as if it was siting around for a little too long. Overall if your looking for a place to just rest your feet from walking the boardwalk and want a refreshing iced drink then this is a good spot. But if you want some good bar food I suggest looking elsewhere.

Wondered in one night on the way home, and I'm so glad I did, I found a new family! Jasmine, Gianna and Jane are the sweetest ladies ever, they even remembered us when we went back a couple of days later. Drinks are great, good selection of music (thank god, was getting tired of poppy-country music on the boardwalk), friendly atmosphere. Haven't eaten there yet but plan to when I get back. .... Oh I miss everyone already!

Do not waste your time or money. We had nachos w/pulled pork and a crabcake sandwich. Nachos were right out of a supermarket bag, had very little cheese and no topping aside from the pulled pork (no sour cream, jalapenos, chives, etc). Crabcake sandwich was disgusting. lukewarm in the middle, seemed to maybe have been nuked. No sign of recent grilling. Breading was mushy. Served on a hamburger roll. Whoever is doing the cooking there has no idea how to cook. Service was okay, waitress was pleasant. Seems like more of a bar than an eatery. We weren't into day drinking so we passed on the alcohol. Never going back.

Food was bland. Really hope I don't get sick because it was just terrible. They had drinks watered down. Took 35 min to just get drinks. We were never even asked if we wanted a menu and never saw the waitress for 30 min so we had to grab a menu from another table. They have only like 10 items on the menu and it's just crap. Don't dare ask for any changes to the food either bc you'll get attitude and dirty looks. Will never go again much better and more interesting places all over the boardwalk.

I was walking down the boardwalk with my husband. The $3 bud light special caught his eye so we stopped in for a drink. It has a large outside area and a really cool interior, I never saw leather walls before but it was cool. I got a frozen run runner and it was really good. The place is clean and the service was good so we decided to give the food a try. Hubby had the roast beef sandwich and I had the crab cake, both were great. We stopped in for 1 drink but ended up spending the afternoon there. It's attached to Caesars and is really close to Ballys and The claridge hotel as well. Def worth a visit when in AC.
