I attended the HQ2 Beachclub at Ocean Casino Resort with a group of friends to see Afrojack. The…read moreevent ran from 11 AM to 6 PM, and we arrived around 12:30 PM. The first issue was simply finding the venue. Coming from the self-parking garage, there was very little signage directing guests to the Beachclub. We eventually found our way by following another group headed there, but better directions and signs would make a huge difference. The biggest problem, however, was the security screening. My friends and I carefully reviewed the venue rules beforehand and followed the bag and dress code requirements. Despite that, security went through our belongings in an extremely invasive manner. They opened wallets, flipped through personal items, and thoroughly searched small bags that were well within the approved size limits. They were looking at how much money and credit cards I had! When I questioned why they were looking through things like my wallet, noting that even airport security doesn't typically inspect belongings that way, the response I received was rude and dismissive. The entire interaction felt uncomfortable and unnecessarily intrusive. Once inside, it became clear that unless you're planning to spend hundreds of dollars on bottle service, there aren't many places where you can simply sit, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. Shortly after we found seats, we were approached and made to feel unwelcome unless we were spending money. The overall vibe felt very pretentious and exclusive rather than welcoming. What made this even more frustrating was the inconsistency in enforcement. The venue rules clearly state that smoking is prohibited, yet multiple people were openly smoking throughout the event while numerous security staff stood nearby and did nothing. Meanwhile, security had spent so much effort scrutinizing our belongings at the entrance. It gave the impression that certain guests were being targeted while others were allowed to ignore the rules. Exiting the venue was also confusing. We attempted to leave through the same area where we entered and followed visible exit signs, only to be told to turn around and walk all the way to the opposite side of the venue. Once again, clearer signage would help avoid unnecessary confusion. To be fair, the bathrooms were clean throughout the day, and there were attendants making sure they stayed that way. The bartenders were also friendly and professional. I was only drinking water, and every time I ordered one, they were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, those positives weren't enough to outweigh the overall experience. Between the confusing layout, invasive security procedures, inconsistent rule enforcement, and constant pressure to spend money, this venue simply isn't for me. No matter which DJ is performing, I won't be returning. I'd much rather attend events at venues in Philadelphia that offer a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

First time back in 15 years! Whaaaaat?!!…read more $20 cover charge (you can get a fast pass for $30 online). I had one Malibu Bay Breeze - $16 !!! Ugh! Super fun place with a great vibe and music!!! There was a Freddie Mercury impressionist who was really good! I loved the decor, dance floor, and videos that matched the music. I was surprised at all the young chippies! Too you g of a crowd but we still had a blast! At certain points in the night, bubbles, steam, and droplets drop from above. We popped put to use the bathroom and the security guard couldn't see our hand stamps to get back in. Very upsetting but we eventually resolved it. Only ding in our night.

Was grateful we found this place as it had a huge rooftop dining area over looking the beach. Very scenic! However, there was hardly any service provided. We had to put the tables together ourselves. Tables weren't clean. We had to find a server as they were huddled around the bar for a while. Ordered food that took a while to arrive, in piece meal, and even missed my kid's meal who was waiting for so long just to realize they somehow missed her order. This wasn't acceptable as it wasn't even a busy night. :( On top of that, our pitcher of water was empty so someone threw scrap straw wrapping in there. When asked for more water, the server just refilled the water without noticing the garbage. Food was pretty decent, sushi rolls were good and my seafood pasta w/red sauce was good. It truly was the lack of attentiveness staff that brought the rating down.

Service Dog Repeatedly Denied Indoor Access at Beachcomer…read more My family lives in the area and visits the boardwalk once or twice a week. At every other business we go to -- Sawmill, Ocean View, and others -- we are always welcomed with my service dog, Lincoln, no questions asked. Beachcomer is the one exception. On multiple occasions, the bouncers at the door have told us dogs are not allowed inside and that we must sit at an outside table instead. Each time, we explain that Lincoln is a service dog. Each time, the answer is the same: outside only. Rather than make a scene, we've simply left and gone elsewhere. This is a direct violation of federal and New Jersey law. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title III) and New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination (N.J.S.A. 10:5-29), a person with a disability accompanied by a trained service dog is entitled to full and equal access to any place open to the public -- including indoor seating, not an outdoor table set apart from other customers. A business may only ask two things: whether the dog is a service dog, and what task or work it's trained to perform. They cannot ask about the handler's disability, demand documentation or a vest, or restrict a handler to a separate area the way a non-disabled customer would never be restricted. This has now happened enough times that it isn't a misunderstanding -- it's a standing policy at the door. I'm sharing this so other service dog handlers on the boardwalk know what to expect, and so Beachcomer's ownership has a chance to correct staff training before this continues.

My understanding is that this is one of Philly's Latin dance hotspots. I've only been once, so I…read morewon't judge it too harshly, but I was pretty disappointed. Problematically for a dance club, the floor (at least upstairs, where the dancing was on this night) isn't level at all, sloping somewhat toward the street. Also, the bouncer was a little aggressive. In terms of the dancing itself, the level was quite low and there was a 2:1 leader-to-follower ratio (but again, that might not be the norm). I didn't stay long.

The hostess sat us in the bar area, which was fine, but seemed an odd choice. Our waitress came over for a drink order before I had even picked up the menu. My wife quickly ordered the Ginger Minty Paloma and I had an Old Fashioned. Wifey's drink was amazing and tasted like 14 more. Mine was just ok, but when you drink them fairly regularly there's not much you can do to make them 'different.' We decided to just split our food. We ordered a Wedge Salad - they put a balsamic glaze on it and it was REALLY GOOD. This came very quickly. We split The Rocco Pizza - vodka sauce, cheese and pieces of fried chicken cutlet. Unfortunately, this was a miss for us. The taste was fine, but neither of us liked the crust and wasn't hot enough. Didn't seem like your normal 'brick oven pizza.' We also split a 'small plate' of linguini and clams. This was just ok as well. The fresh clams were great, but the others were pretty chewy. The whole plate also needed salt. Service was pleasant and fairly quick, but the food was overall just ok. The place itself looked like it would be pretty fun if I was in my 20s. There was a band setting up and I bet the place gets pretty loud.

If you haven't blacked out at The Osprey, have you even done the Jersey Shore right?…read more The Osprey in Manasquan is basically a rite of passage--a sweaty, glorious temple of dance floors, vodka sodas, and pure summertime chaos. It's like someone bottled the energy of a college tailgate, added a bunch of neon lights and live music, and dropped it a block from the beach. You walk in and boom: the Rock Room is serving up live bands like it's 2009, while the Boom Boom Room is just that--nonstop DJs spinning tracks that'll have you dancing like you didn't promise to "take it easy tonight." Drinks? Cheap enough to buy rounds like you're a baller. Vibes? Off the charts. You will lose your voice from screaming lyrics and your dignity somewhere around 1am. And honestly... Isn't that the goal. Fun Fact: Bruce Springsteen once drank here and wrote a song about it. So yeah, you're partying where The Boss once stood. No pressure. (Rumor has it, he had his first (legal) drink here) So, if you're looking for a quiet, sophisticated evening... go literally anywhere else. But if you're ready for an unfiltered, beautifully chaotic night to remember (or not), The Osprey is definitely the place to be.
