37 Best Bars in Atlantic City

“Last night we dined here and everything was excellent, from the service to the food, only thing we didn’t care for and was disappointed in was the crème brûlée, it’s not your typical traditional crème brûlée but everything else was wonderful. Will be back for sure!“

“For Valentine's Day weekend, my wife and I dined at the historical and exquisite Knife & Fork Inn on Friday, 2.13.26, since the 14th was totally booked. It was her first time there and mine since childhood. The menu was so extensive that it made it a bit of a welcoming challenge to focus on a particular choice. For starters, our huge portion of the Corn & Crab Chowder was the best that we have ever had and the Artisanal Cheese Plate was delectably wide-ranging. My wife loved the Halibut and my Bone-In Pork Chop was superb. Our cordial and diligent waiter, Carmen, who took service to the next level, suggested the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert and we were very glad that he did as it was perfectly sized to share! Before we arrived, I mentioned to my wife that this would be a top dining experience and it was more than that with the historical ambiance, service and the spectacular menu options. We will definitely be back to try some more of their varied cuisine!“

“Phil is the best bartender!!!“

“Hat's off to the Byrd Cage!! We (Atlantic City) finally got a restaurant with good food. I've eaten there a couple of times now and both time the food was consistently good! The server Joe was good at what he does , he was quite knowledgeable of the menu as well as the Sunday with Sinatra special. Chef Mike even stopped by our table just to say hello. My wife and I are looking forward to returning for another good meal. Thank you and good luck. Geno“

“Moments at Scannicchios is the best spot in AC for a delicious meal, amazing drinks, and entertainment! My husband hosted my 40th birthday there and the service was exceptional!!! Scott, Tommy and the crew really know how to make their customers feel like family and have a good time! I can’t wait to watch games, eat, drink and party next week when the new side opens! 100 💯 recommend everyone try it out!!!“

“The food was awesome, more than enough for one to two people. We enjoyed the hospitality and decor. The small and quaint environment allowed us to have conversation and hear each other while eating. Not too loud. Love this place.❤ A must visit when on Atlantic City Boardwalk.“

“Bar 32 is a hidden gem where the vibe alone is worth the visit. Nicole, or “Mama Chocolate,” gives is the soul of the place, and that the chocolate and wine pairings aren't just tasty—they’re crafted with love of chocolate and experience.“

“Amazing resturant and food… We enjoy ourselves and will be back again“

“I had a great time at the Atlantic City location tonight. The bartender Colleen provided exceptional service and was so fun to talk to!“

“Great food ,service and atmosphere .“

“pizza is great , frozen drinks were good , staff was nice and attentive“

“Always great food and drinks.“

“When I decided to go there it didn't have much expectations. I just saw it on Google maps and wanted to check it out.
They offer a variety of authentic German beer. The food is mostly more German inspired than authentic, but the Bavarian Pretzel is actually very authentic.
The staff is super nice. I recommend checking the place out if you're ever in the area“

“Everything was absolutely amazing! The service was impeccable and the food oh so delicious!!“

“Jessica is an amazing waitress, friendly and attentive. I would definitely come here again and request Jessica.“

“People were probably off for Mother's day so the dining room was closed and we were served by the bartender. She was very friendly and checked in frequently. The food was a good value for the price and I especially liked the caprese tower and shrimp. Will definitely be back this summer“

“I’ve heard about Nola’s from many people since it opened. It was Ocean’s version of Borgata’s Gypsy Bar. The problem is it wasn’t as good. But that doesn’t matter anymore since Borgata decided to close the best live music bar in Atlantic City. My daughter and her BF took us to Nola’s. It was a great night. Good drinks, nice atmosphere, great music with a good dance floor.

I guess one of the things that made Gypsy better was half the venue wasn’t reserve areas like Nola’s. Groups could reserve an area and it would be roped off but if no one reserved it then it was open to everyone. On this night all of the reserved areas were empty until the second band when two groups came in to take up most of one side of the reserved area. Gypsy has lots of high top tables which are great for dance venues.

We still stay at Borgata but go to other casinos each night to whichever has the best live music and dancing that night. The more we go to Oceans the more we talk about switching from Borgata to Oceans. We can’t have Gold level status at two casinos so we have to pick. Nola’s might finally get us to switch casinos.“

“Super man on acid kicked my butt“

“This Place was the best place I ever went to in Atlantic City outside the casino areas. What a vibe. It makes you not want to get out of your seat. Reminds you of your Sunday family dinners with an explanation point. So much fun and attention to making sure you come back. New owners are from South Philly and are a blast to be around. The food, well is probably the best i ever had with my party of 6. Great place for food, entertainment and cocktails. You can stay and have a blast all night. They are expanding into a bigger area right next door!! Up and coming this is a must go to“

“Idek the lady name behind the bar, but I went there yesterday, day before yesterday and planning on going there today. She has such a pleasant spirit and the drinks are top tier. Don't drink it too fast, you'll get a brain freeze lml“

“Love it!!!!!......💖💖💖💖💖💖💖“

“Decided to check out Gin Rickey’s Friday night (10/18) with my friend because there was a band playing. Even though the band was almost done with their set, it was a great atmosphere!!! The bartenders were great and personable! We enjoyed some small talk with Nick! We will definitely come back next time we’re in AC!!!“

“Typical casino lobby bar, but given the history of the Resorts Casino, it's worth having a drink or two. The bar's hours aren't great (they open later than most) BUT they do have amazing holiday themed pop-up bars for different seasons (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, etc) that take over the bar, complete with decorations and specialty cocktails.“

“So. Much. Fun. Stopped in for a cocktail before and after the show, The Hook, at Caesars. Atmosphere is whacky yet perfectly matches the vibe of the show. The craft cocktails are just perfect, the menu includes some older drinks that are worth revisiting. Try the Aviation, thank me later. The bartenders Noah and Frankie were super friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed talking to them for quite some time. Frankie knows his stuff, likes what he does, and he does it well. We also enjoyed watching him craft said craft cocktails. lol Stop in for a drink around the show or just as you walk by. We will be back!“

“LAUREN is the best!! I’ve been coming to the Tropicana for a long time. I have been going to the firewaters bar for about 4-5 years. Around 4 years ago lauren served me and my family and she was the best bartender ever. Well… 4 years later I’ve returned to the Tropicana after my mom passing away and lauren was mine and my bfs bartender two nights in a row. She is nothing short of amazing. She made what was a very emotional return to AC since losing my mom one of the most memorable vacations here yet. We already are planning our next trip back just to hang out at firewaters bar with lauren! She is such a sweetheart and the BEST bartender possible. I recommend for everyone to go to firewaters bar and see lauren, she will make you feel seen and heard and has the best service in the GAME!“

“A great hidden gem in Atlantic city is the Toga Bar. Drinks are reasonable priced with comfy seats. Our bartender was Joe T and he was great! Every empty glass was whisked away and refilled. He was full of knowledge about Caesars casino and hotel and recommended different restaurants and buffets on the property. We can see why Caesars keeps him at the bar on the casino floor as he is such a great advocate for the casino.“

“Best place to hear my favorite band, This is the best place in Atlantic City 2nd to none good people young and older all having fun. This is the best place to jam out with the best cover bands in New Jersey... And the best bar tenders on the planet... P. Rose“

“The food 🥘 was excellent including Ben and Jerry’s ice cream you ordered breakfast from 7:00am through 12:00pm Monday through Sunday.“

“Located on the Lobby Level of Ocean Resort & Casino this bar in the round is always up to fun.The current event is the Girl Scout Cookie inspired Cocktail Menu. These drinks are really delicious and taste reminiscent of the 4 featured cookies. This special menu is offered at other spots in the hotel. 1$ from each drink sold goes to the Girl Scouts of Southern & Central New Jersey.In the past they've offered seasonal cocktails as well as drinks inspired by performers doing concerts in the Resort theater.#OceanResortCasino#oceanforthewin#lobbybar“

“You have to go and get served by Luke! Amazing bartender, very friendly, put up with my drunk self lol and made greats shots and drinks! Luke, I’m sorry for harassing you all night 😂“

“Best Soul Food that I’ve ever had. Huge portions We got the steamers as an appetizer, served in a perfect garlicky broth. We had a fun and energetic server, named Ray. I was debating between the fried chicken or the smothered pork chop and he said “well, Popeyes is everywhere, get the Pork chop” The pork chop did not disappoint! Perfectly seasoned, crispy smothered in gravy and onions. For sides, we both got the Collard Greens, I got the yams and my husband got Mac and Cheese. Best Collard Greens ever! It was Mother’s Day weekend so was very busy… but all and all worth the wait and a fantastic experience.“

“Fun place and great drinks“

“It's been over 20 years since I've been to Proud Mary's. We used to hang out there when our boats were sea claming out of Atlantic city . Was the best of times for us VA. Boys. Glad to see it's still going. Hope to come up soon.Just found my old Mary's t shirt“

“Got to enjoy a Halloween in Atlantic City. The Mountain Bar was the perfect place to get drafts for an amazing price, hear some live music everyone was singing along to and witness some jaw dropping costumes. All I can say is that you should be so lucky as to have Lence as your server if you find yourself at the hightop tables by the bar!! And no that is not a misspelling!! She was absolutely fantastic, incredibly attentive and rather quick considering how busy the bar was. Highly highly recommend!!!“

“Excellent atmosphere to relax and unwind. Music was enjoyable. pool and surrounding deck is kept clean and comfortable. Plenty of chairs and towels available. Bar/ food service was spectacular! Just one suggestion would be to provide umbrellas for the chairs. Not very much shade on the pool deck. A very happy place!“

“Went tonight to see one of my favorite bands - The Loop. Going bar seats and the bartender Dan made one of the BEST old fashioneds I have ever had… and I am picky. He was also very personable and made the night fun. The bar itself is clean and comfortable… but what will bring me back is Dan and the great entertainment space.

** I rates food a five bc I didn’t want to lower the rating…. But I didn’t eat and don’t think there even is food. Great as an after dinner spot.“
