    Hit or miss - I spent 3 days here this past weekend locking down spots for the beach concerts. The 75 dollar deal was excellent! It got me a table, 2 drinks and food (everyone in our group tried the limited concert menu and there was not one complaint). The main issue we had was the service and disorganization. I bought a ticket online in advance for Friday and the staff had zero clue what it was. My wife checked and noticed that our son could be in the venue until 7pm - this was denied after she just paid 30 dollars to park. The host promised me another beverage and said to remind him later.. when I did he said he didn't know what I was talking about. Whatever. Night 1 - Waited 15 minutes at the bar while 4 bartenders stood around and talked. I walked to the other side and asked if they were open as there were 5-6 people waiting for service as well. Overall service was subpar but I understood they were short staffed so I left a 40% tip. Originally I asked the guy at the door where the mens room was - he told me there wasn't one. Meanwhile, it's on the opposite side behind the stage. Night 2 - we arrived early again to get our tickets and were told to come back in 2 hours. When we did, most of the tables were gone. Again whatever. We had the same waitress and a larger group this time. Mind you, we're all very generous tippers. As the night progressed I ended up waiting 75 minutes for a drink which was already charged to my card. Otherwise I would have gone to the bar. The waitress explained she was very busy but had no problem getting the table next to us multiple buckets of drinks during that time period. Asked for water at 5:30 every time she came by and we finally got ONE bottle at 9:45. Yes, I'm not kidding. A short while later my check was dropped off. 71 dollars - 41 dollars of which were drinks we did not receive and food that was already paid for. Didn't get a chance to resolve it so we just let it go.. my buddy already threw the waitress 25 (for the food I was charged for) so we considered that the tip. Waitress walks by and curses me off before we left. Sunday - much better service (new waitress) and no issues with drinks... except the water situation again. 4 hours to grab a couple of mini bottles. I eventually ended up going to the bar where the staff were nicer and more attentive. Overall: great place to enjoy the beach concerts but they really need to get organized better. Wait staff could be more friendly and prompt. We had big bills waiting but they ended up back in our pockets after waiting over an hour for a drink.

    I'm giving this place three stars because it's a cool spot right off the boardwalk and beach and the drinks are good. With that being said, the customer service is horrible and the food service. My gf and I ordered a side of french fries to go with our drinks. Before our food comes the waitress asks us if we wanted to pay the bill. I told her no, you don't pay for the bill until you get everything you order (the waitress had an attitude when she first came to our table as well). Glad we didn't pay for the bill because when our fries came they turned out to be onion rings (which took 30 minutes to come). When our waiter came over to see if we wanted to pay the bill now, we pointed out the kitchen got our order wrong (I ate the onion rings anyhow, but my friend didn't) and explained we know it's not her fault. She proceeds to tell us that the kitchen was explaining to her about something fries and onion rings, but because she was busy she didn't understand. Ma'am, did you just tell us that, customers? Lol needless to say my friend told her to take them off the bill and didn't leave a tip.

    My favorite warm weather party spot in Atlantic City by far. It is at a central location along the boardwalk just steos away from Bally's hotel. It has a huge bar, with a great deal for bucket drinks at $16 then $12 for refills. They are situated right on the beach and play throwback 90s music hits from different genres. At night they have a live dj and the crowd gets crazy then this place really turns up. Oh and their daquiris are pretty good! The dress code is very flexible so you can go comfortable but surely with shoes on. Very cool spot to go for good music, to find random people to dance with, go with friends, or look for singles, and enjoy some good reasonably priced drinks.

    I don't know who that friend could be...lol

    Yassss Bally's you deffinantly got this RIGHT! This little beach side bar was so FUN! Close enough that if you have that one irresponsible friends who can't seem to hold her liquor (I mean thier) you can walk them to the room and back in one to two songs...! It was a live band playing a mix of 90's Latin and pop plus a DJ! O don't remember MUCH but it it was the best part of Bally's next to the lighting in the bathroom (which was amazing)!

    This establishment is not closed. It was packed and busy on Saturday around 3pm. The cocktails were watered down, the menu was super basic. I ordered the hot dog with onions and cheese for $10. The cheese was shredded and cold and so was the bun. The main reason for the low review is that for an establishment that makes thousands of dollars per hour, they really should consider investing in some table umbrellas for the customers. All the seating is outside in blazing hot sun but they only have maybe 20% of the tables covered with umbrellas. They had live music and we would have stayed longer and ordered more but it was just too unbearable to sit out like that.

    Went here back in September once casinos reopened. Good experience, pricey as usual but that's expected during a pandemic after months of lockdowns. Weather was perfect and close proximity to the beach.

    This beach bar is another example of Bally's decline. The service is terrible. The food is terrible. The drinks weren't terrible I ordered beer so beer in the can is not terrible. The servers and bartenders were rude. They give you attitude because we ask to place an order. This whole staff should be fired. The security guard by the restrooms was sleeping. Only five tables were occupied and two servers working. We waited 20 mins at our table and my gal pal decided to get the drinks from the bar. The server finally came over and advised me that if I went to the bar to get my drinks I can't sit at table. We Waited 20 mins!!! The Bartender gave my gal pal attitude cause she asked the bartender to pour a drink. She came back to our table. We ordered our drinks from the server. Another mistake I made. I ordered a chicken sandwich. Disaster!!! The one star goes to the entertainment. Close the beach bar down!!!! Or replace the people!!

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.

There are VIP areas throughout and one even has its own bathroom. Your party must buy several bottles to get that one. However, while there is consistency between parties, remember, this is a club and the party and crowd will vary dramatically based on who is throwing the party. Such being the case, its hard to expect repeated results. The day I went, the crowd was concentrated on the top floor and was a mixture between urban and sexy. One woman partygoer even gave me a card for a vagina eating contest. I still have the card. I was going to scan it but decided it was in bad taste. I didnt toss it on the floor because, well, there was a thousand dollar prize. While I was not interested, i figured, maybe i know someone who may be. One thing I can say, I forget sometimes about how when you are in a crowded room, people will drop your drinks...While partying, I bumped into a guy who looked kinda like me. It was my brother. I don't know what he was doing there, but we arrived independently of one another...had a drink, and went back to our respective groups... Its a decent club...you may find a way to win a grand or bump into your siblings...

As I'm rolling in the water, I see my husband head to what he called his oasis, Bungalow, because he was just standing under the hot sun holding my things while waiting for me. So we headed to this bar in the middle of the beach and they had a set-up of beach chairs that you could use as long as you were ordering drinks or food. Did I mention they are shaded chairs? So we sat down and a super-friendly waitress came by and took our orders. I saw they had Blueberry Margaritas and ordered immediately since I've never had heard of this beautiful phenomenon before. I love blueberries and this drink was perfect because it was made with real, fresh ones and it tasted so good. I ordered another one while my husband sipped on his beer and fell asleep. I then went to another chair that had no shade and got my tan on while listening to some Carribean music. It is a really great spot in Atlantic City to visit if you want some refreshing drinks and a place to hang out. The music isn't too loud so you can have a normal conversation and they have a pool for a small fee on weekdays, which we are definitely going to try out the next time we are in Atlantic City.

They offered sample sizes of some of the food they plan to offer and it was nothing to write home about. In fact so much so that I'll leave the food details at just that. It's what I expect to be overpriced pub food (price list or menu wasn't given to us) and with several locations it didn't feel as if any actually offered a variety of food. Pub, pub, everywhere. The concept is there but T Street offers no form of originality that makes it worth going to in place of similar places. In fact, with the location in a mall I actually felt that the venue and placement was a bit awkward. While there is no place quite like it in Atlantic City I don't find that it'll be a location to really drive in visitors. Let's face it, AC is a dying city and well in need of attractions to bring tourists and money back into the area. Perhaps when it's completely finished it will better represent the vision. I personally felt the venue was one-dimensional and for the amount of space could've offered a greater variety of music/food to fit various preferences. For now, I can say the live music is a nice addition. In some places it was played so deafeningly loud that it was difficult to really sit, eat and converse if that's what you chose to do. However, If that's your scene you'll likely enjoy it but its also worth noting that the majority of music was country/bluegrass. The drinks were okay. There were no specialty drinks/menu offered but the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable at preparing classics. As of right now this is not on my must do list for when I visit AC and doubt it will ever be. However, I will be fair and return when the venue is completely finished and possibly update my review.
