31 Best Bars near Stone Harbor

“Rum Row is a gem with a small but standout cocktail menu—highlighted by the incredible 12 Miles Out Martini, a fantastic twist on the classic espresso martini. If cocktails aren't your thing, their extensive beer list ensures there's something for everyone.

The service is top-notch, and the chairs are seriously comfortable. Just a heads-up: when it's crowded, especially along the back wall, it can get really hot. That said, the vibe is worth it, especially on the nights they feature live music!“

“The best cheesesteaks!!!!!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed dinner. We had fish tacos that were absolutely fantastic.“

“Great food and service! We will definitely be back! Anthony was a great waiter! Super friendly and knowledgeable!“

“Great food and drinks! Service has always been friendly and you never feel rushed.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re locals and chose Sax at the Reeds to celebrate our anniversary on a Tuesday night in September. Since many of the local steakhouses were closed, we decided to give Sax a try — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and even made something as simple as choosing a steak knife a fun and memorable experience. He explained where the knives came from, what they were made of, and offered his favorite — such a unique touch! The food was just as impressive. I went with a mix of apps and a salad — the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!), perfectly seared local scallops (I was expecting three and got closer to eight!), and the truffle cheese burrata salad, which was loaded with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, balsamic reduction, sea salt, and basil oil. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the New York Strip with truffle fries and grilled asparagus — a perfectly cooked, hearty steak that left him very satisfied. We left completely full and so happy with our experience. Sax exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a special dinner spot!“

“If you’re searching for pizza in Stone Harbor, waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, happy hour near The Reeds, outdoor dining, cocktails, or a place to gather with friends and family, The Pizza Pub checks a lot of boxes.

Located directly on Shelter Haven Basin, this is much more than a traditional pizza restaurant. The atmosphere combines waterfront views, outdoor seating, specialty cocktails, craft beer, and a menu built around pizza, shareable plates, and a relaxed Jersey Shore vibe.

One of the highlights of our visit was the cocktail program. We sampled the cocktail flight and had the opportunity to try several of their signature drinks. The Watermelon Mojito was especially refreshing and perfect for a warm summer afternoon overlooking the basin. The drinks were fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented.

Of course, pizza is the star of the show. The specialty pizza we ordered arrived loaded with toppings, baked with a crisp crust, quality ingredients, and plenty of flavor. Every bite tasted fresh, and it’s easy to see why this has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors.

Another feature worth mentioning is The Crew Room, a separate event space upstairs that offers its own unique atmosphere. The nautical décor, dedicated bar, and waterfront-inspired design create a private-club feel that would be perfect for parties, celebrations, private events, and group gatherings.

What really stands out about The Pizza Pub is the overall experience. You’re not simply grabbing a slice of pizza. You’re enjoying waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, watching boats pass through Shelter Haven Basin, enjoying craft cocktails, sharing food with friends, and experiencing one of the most unique casual dining settings at the Jersey Shore.

“I found it notable to share my experience. I was having a rough day and stopped into the Cct for a beer after work - janet was my bartender and Paige was my server. Through small convo I found out I played sports with Janet’s son and we were close in school. It was awesome to make that connection. I had 2 beers on my way to my second job and a cheesesteak wrap and Paige recommended grilled. Was super crispy and not soggy.
Grilled is the way to go. I’ll be back a more often for the wrap specifically grilled. Janet was busy but still managed her time to make me feel welcomed. As a bartender myself I know that’s difficult to do. Coldest draft beers in cape may county. Thank you Cct staff!!“

“Had a birthday get together. The manager Dave was awesome, reserved a few tables for us and allowed us to keep the cake in the cooler so it wouldn't melt all over! The servers and bartenders were great as well! Thanks you for helping us create a great memory!“

“best bar on the island and cheapest drinks“

“This was our second time here, and it was just as good as the first. We got to have Sandy as our server. She always makes the experience great with her attention and charisma. We love the ambiance and fine dining here. We will gladly make the hour long trip just to come here!“

“Food was excellent as well as the service. We were patrons on a slower paced night, so we were able to walk around and check out the decor, which was pretty cool IMO. If you ever are in the area, stop in for a meal. I would bet you will be happy with the experience.“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“Wish I could go back to the days when "Old Man Menz" and his daughter would serve us his fabulous meals and chat with us. What a family! We ate there soooooo many times and my family just loved it. We went there in the early 70's and 80's . What a place......it was a real experience. THANK YOU, MR. MENZ. You were so special!“

“Good food, good beer. Best Brussels sprouts ever!“

“One of our favorite spots!!!Good food and great kid friendly atmosphere!“

“Owens is great, I live off island and have not been in years. You have definitely stayed consistent over the year's and did not disappoint. Ended up playing muisc trivia and it was so much fun. I ate the bacon wrapped scallops, they were perfectly cooked and the gluten free italian chicken wrap 😋 Great night!“

“This place is awesome! My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to grab a drink and some food, but the atmosphere was unreal! The staff is friendly, the vibe is fun, and the service is consistently excellent. A special shoutout to Mike behind the bar—he's an outstanding bartender who makes everyone feel welcome. He's attentive, personable, and keeps the drinks coming quickly, even when it's busy. His positive attitude and great customer service are a big reason I'll keep coming back. If you're in Sea Isle City, Kix is definitely worth stopping by!“

“Oh my god.. When me and that bouncer locked eyes it was like a moment where time froze around him.. as his short ish hair flowed as the people sang I swear he gave me a wink as he watched the bar making sure nobody caused trouble... That handsome young BULL was doing his job so well and diligently I could have sworn he was born in the bar at 6' ft tall and that SHARP chin that could cut my frozen heart in two or shave it down to the perfect shape.. his white skin glistening in the bar light during the night as he watched over the bar and did his job with such GUSTO i wanted to take a BITE out of him... 10/10 just for that CHARMING gent. Call me one day if you see that Mr. H.... I want to know more about you.“

“Nice open space to spend time with family and friends. Casual. Inside and outside seating. Drinks are a little pricey (but it's Avalon) and there is a 2hr parking limit (street meters). We had finger food and drinks and had a great time sitting at the humongous and beautiful bar.“
