Live music, great drinks and good food, can't wait to go back next summer. Prices were good too, not to bad at all
This is the original AC beach bar (at least for me), destroyed by Sandy but rebuilt as Bally's Bikini Beach Bar. It's a pretty big bar with a dance floor, large bar, high tops, tables and even cabanas. They usually have live music as well when I'm there on the weekends. This time we got a bucket of Coronas. 5 for $25 which is a good deal here given that they go for $8 each which would be $40 individually. You can mix and match any of the beers listed on the part of the menu. They sell everything you'd want at a beach bar, frozen drinks, beer and full bar. One random thing -- they ran out of Corona on a Summer Sunday, not sure how that's even possible. I've always liked this place and will return every time I'm on the boardwalk.
This place is a serious people-watching paradise (during the summer). The live music is always great. I have yet to see a band I didn't like (I have not seen a country band there, ever). Whether it is the "Regular" dancers that seem to be there every day, or the guys who show up in denim speedos, or the girls that love to show off their ink (or other stuff I can't talk about or my wife would have my head), it is a fun place. Drinks aren't cheap and getting a table is really tough. Go early if you want to snag some prime real estate. Sitting closer to the stage can get VERY loud. The line at the bar is always a few people deep, so have patience if you can't get a table with a server. There is a LOT of room for dancing and some bands are getting people onto the floor than others. There is always something fun to see at this place.
Maybe it has all to do with us visiting on a Sunday night, but we had a GREAT time. There was no cover and they were mostly playing dancehall and r&b, which went just perfect with the summer breeze. The drinks are very pricey, however when we complained to our waitress she brought out shots to add to our drinks. I felt bad for her working in that tiny bikini, she was shivering the entire time! Ladies wear wedges if you want to wear heels my heel kept getting stuck in the boardwalk panels. Ugh! I absolutely believe the day you visit makes all the difference at this beach bar. Know you will be paying top dollar for weak cocktails but you may have fun dancing in the summer wind. Or heat depending on the time.
Very nice place and the band Mystery Machine was fantastic and you should have them play more often
