19 Best Bars near Villas

“The absolute BEST place for a night out with friends! Heather's by the Bay serves delicious prime rib, seafood, and has nightly specials available. We love to go there to see a band called Jump The Line! Fantastic band, welcoming staff, and friendly people. Villas Fishing Club is a most excellent place for beautiful sunsets, as it is right on the bay.“

“Nice place just over the bridge into town of Cape May. Hard to decide what to eat because quite a few things on the menu sounded wonderful. I chose a juicy grilled chicken BLT with added cooper sharp and my husband had the filet tip cheese steak which he really enjoyed. Our appetizers where wings and bacon wrapped scallops with a radish/beet dip. My husband and I added this place to our list of places we must return to, to try more things on the menu.“

“This place is amazing! I'm kicking myself for not going here sooner. Great food from rotating food trucks, friendly servers, love music, a kick ass laid back setting with plenty of room to dance and listen to live music. Great place to see the sunset! Check out my pic below! It's awesome.“

“We visited this past weekend. We had a reservation for 8:15 indoors but stopped by to see if we could be seated earlier. We were offered seats on the porch. The porch has heaters but you would want a jacket if cold like our night was (55 degrees). A fun feeling to dine and drink on an otherwise quieter, neighborhood like street and watch passersby's. Cocktails- Red Sea margarita, Japanese businessman Starter- chicken fajita deviled eggs- unique and quick, just light enough to hold us over. Entrees- NY strip steak and special (Dover sole over spinach) were cooked perfectly. Service was quick and attentive. Wish we had saved enough room for dessert. Will be back.“

“Absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I love to stop here on our Wildwood vacays! It has now become one of our favorite spots. The food is always great, the service is even better! There’s always great music playing, and drinks are always perfect and strong! Wish I could remember her name, but the blonde woman sitting and chatting with us at the bar was so good and kind to us when we celebrated our 4 year anniversary at Cattle ’n Clover last weekend! I can’t say enough good things about this place and can’t wait to go back this summer!“

“We are major fans of Jesters, the sister-spot to Surfing Pig and owned by the same company -- and Surfing Pig did not disappoint!The location is incredible; right on the water with a gorgeous view of a little marina. There is a small parking lot, and adjacent street parking. We arrived at opening time during the week and had no wait.Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Loved everyone we encountered.Drinks were delicious. I had the Cape May Lemonade, and I'm definitely coming back for another! Can't wait to try the Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita!Portions are huge and food is delicious. The people next to us ordered the Salmon Salad and I snapped a picture because it looked so incredible! Pulled pork nachos were super yum, and the poke bowl is our usual go-to (a menu item also at Jesters that we get every time). Never disappoints!A thousand percent recommend this little gem, and also their Dive Bar, Jesters, only 15 minutes away in Rio Grande.“

“Food always the best Great quality Portions very generous for the price No better place on the island for seafood“

“Five stars for great atmosphere, decent beer selection, friendly folks.But (for me) more than anything the kindness and generativeity of the owners for hosting the Howard Street Ramble on Thursday nights. Thank you!More about that: flks, if you are in Cape May (in season - check with the Chalfont - we saw them Oct.6th), this is a can't miss event. Very, *very* talented musicians jamming on the porch. And although it's free, you should definitely buy some beers/drinks to support the venue and the band...or let me put it this way: when was the last time a band passed the hat and you gave them $30 for you and a friend? I'd be happy to sip and listen to this band every week. Other than the beach, this is the best thing in Cape May. Actually, that's a lie: better than the beach.The building is a beautiful testament to the past; bar itself is dimly lit (not dark) and cozy, bartenders were really friendly, and it's a very nice place to chill with friends. Band or not, I would definitely hang in the bar!“

“This cocktail bar is BEAUTIFUL. The setting is stunning, the service is attentive and everyone who works there is knowledgable and professional. I got the seasonal Blood Orange Martini, which was good! It was a bit sweet for me to get more than one, so I got a Grey Goose Gibson & it was GREAT! Love when a cocktail bar knows how to make a good Gibson. My husband got the Bees Knees, which was a very balanced cocktail. I even liked it and I don't like gin. He also ordered the Manhattan which he said was phenomenal. We didn't order any small plates, but everything looked amazing. It was a bit pricey, but it is worth a cocktail or two before or after dinner.“

“Fun dive bar with friendly bartenders. The kitchen was closed on New Years Day, so I didn't get to try the food. Menu looks good inexpensive bar food. Cash only, ATM on premises. Warm and cozy inside, we felt right at home.Parking: We didn't have trouble in off-season, but I am sure it can be difficult to find parkingKid-friendliness: No it's a dive bar“

“Great atmosphere! Lots of space! And by lots I mean really a lot. Food was great! Big portions. Loved wings and honey mustard sauce was really delicious, usually I am super picky about sauces. Pear salad was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.“

“I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl. It brings back so many wonderful memories when my husband and I visit every summer with our sons! Great food and atmosphere!“

“A must stop when you want a good meal at a decent price. The weekday specials are unbelievably priced. Everything we had was good on two separate visits, one in season and one out. Expect a wait to get in and battle for parking, though. The place is always busy because it's good.“

“As the name says this place in right on the bay! It's pretty beautiful! I could imagine this place is never not busy. They have a sand bar outside and 2 more bars inside. Plenty of dining room and bathrooms. We got there and the place was packed, they said it would be about 20mins wait, and we were taken back in 8mins. Everyone looked like they were happy and having a good time. And the food you ask? It's spot on! Everything we got was very delicious and well worth it! If I could only say one thing about their food it's that they know exactly how to cook a salmon crunchy and juicy, and the taste was immaculate! Stop by of you are ever in the area looking for a perfect time“

“Great food and drinks. Definitely seems like a spot that has a lot of regulars you can tell the customers and staff are friendly, always a good sign(can be a bit loud at times near the bar area but everyone seems to be just having a good time) We come a couple times a month when we are down the shore.“

“Definitely an awesome spot to get some drinks and hear live music. You can tell they aren't known for their food. Very small menu. What I saw people order wasn't anything fancy. Friendly service. Robbie the bartender was very welcoming .“

“Great place! The atmosphere and food was exacty what we were looking for - not upscale but not typcial pub-type. We had the cowboy steak and the tuna steak (special). Both were perfectly cooked and delicious! This was our first visit but definitely won't be our last.“

“Our first time here tonight and it won't be our last! We were welcomed warmly and immediately felt at home. Our server, Kimmy was an absolute pleasure! It was Wine Down Wednesday with $4.00 glasses of their house wines. I'm so picky but Kimmy told me if I didn't like it, she would get me something else. I liked it! Kevin got their pulled pork which he loved! Definitely getting that next time! Although, my Thai Chicken Flatbread was amazing!!! We had a great time! A new favorite for us!“

“Cool bar on second floor with live music weekly. They are open year round and it gets crowded in the summer time. Its on pacific ave and easy to get there from the boardwalk. They have big selection of beer to purchase and lots of food to order when hungry!“
