What to do and see in Jersey Shore, Jersey Shore: The Best Bars & Clubs

February 25, 2022 Harland Bartelt

The Atlantic coast of New Jersey, with its beaches and boardwalks, stretches from Sandy Hook in the north to Cape May in the south. Fresh ocean breezes fan 127 miles of sandy beaches. Drive between cities or catch a NJ Transit bus or Atlantic City jitney bus. Atlantic City packs people in to nightlife venues and casinos. Wildwood's boardwalk is well-trod. Asbury Park is once again popular, particularly with gays and lesbians. Cape May's restaurants and Victorian inns lure tourists to the historic town.

Things down the shore change every summer, but one place stays the same. The Hud! The good old fashioned "shore dive bar."

MADE Atlantic City Chocolate Bar

MADE Atlantic City Chocolate Bar is a bean-to-bar chocolate shop. Husband and wife, Mark and Deb Pellegrino, have joined forces in the kitchen to create single origin chocolate and a unique environment for their guests to enjoy it. In addition to great chocolate, guests can indulge in wine by the glass or bottle, local brews or a dessert and cocktail menu: all of which incorporate MADE chocolate.

Highly recommended. The "bar" was empty on the late Sunday afternoon we visited, and we were treated very well by the servers and owner. My wife had a chocolate martini and Philly style pretzel with a chocolate dipping cup, I opted for the wine and chocolate pairing flight. Every bite better than the one before. A lot of fun and so, so rich!

Dead Dog Saloon

Reviewed By jphillips157 - Augusta, United States

I first ventured into the DDS back in the late 70's. I had read he weekly paper the Sea Isle City Times the Richie Havens was doing two shows at the Dead Dog Saloon. We went early expecting a crowd at the door but were the first ones there. As a reference point Richie (we became good friends) open up Woodstock singing "Here comes the sun". He also sang "Freedom" which he made up on stage at Woodstock as he played. I digress. The DDS was a small beach town bar that seats 90 people on two floors . It has more atmosphere than your grandmothers house on Thanksgiving. We sat at the bar not realizing that all we had to do was swivel our bar stools and we were five feet from the stage. Needless we stayed at the Dead Dog Saloon for both shows and had a couple brews with Havens when he finished. We saw Richie perform in Hilton Head, Charlotte, Atlantic city, Athens and many more places. Needless to say our favorite was the Sea Isle City's hidden gem the Dead Dog Saloon.

Celtic Cottage Pub

Reviewed By A5002PHadrianab - Long Branch, United States

By far the best burger in Monmouth County! The outdoor dining is spot on. The owner Maureen greeted me with a mask disinfectanted my table before I sat down. The music was great and the service was 5 star! There is a covered area and all the tables have an umbrella for shade. It is evident that Celtic Cottage has taken every precaution for saftey. Outstanding burger! A must if you are in the area. I had Smithwicks on tap, cold and fresh! I love this place! Thank you Celtic Cottage!
