This place has gone downhill in a bad way. They used to be known for their great beer selection offering over 30 beers on tap. For this visit they had only 4! We ordered the French onion soup and it was delicious but then came a Caesar salad which was just romaine with some odd croutons and a plastic container of bad bottled dressing. The margarita pizza was next. No sign of fresh basil as the menu describes and barely any cheese. The sauce was not good and was overwhelmed with garlic powder and oregano. The crust was not good at all. The bartender was great and friendly. He told us they were in a bad place because the restaurant was sold and the deal fell through at the end. This would explain the bad food and lack of beer selection. Let's see if this changes as we come into the summer season because if it doesn't it may be Goodnight to Goodnight Irene's. read more

Stopped in for a meal before the last night of Country Music Fest. We have eaten here before. Ambiance is nice family beach bar. They had Chimay White running on tap I got two. Service was great and we ordered the Kielbasa special and a margarita pizza. The sausage was wonderful the pizza not so much. The sauce was like tomato paste and the crust was limp. Others enjoyed their food. We should have tried a different pizza as other ordered one an loved it . We would return when in town. Nancy & Mark. read more

We had dinner already but didn't want to call it a night so we looked for a place that was open a little later. We came across Goodnight Irene's. They were not even a ten minute drive from where we were staying so that was perfect. They have a private parking lot across the street which we didn't know about and we were able to get a spot in there. A woman saw us looking for two seats at the bar as it was pretty full. She came over to tell me they were leaving if we wanted to grab their spots. So nice of them! We sat at the bar, had some great cold beers, nice conversation with the couple next to us and sang along to the songs the DJ played. He wasn't there when we got there so I'm thinking he started at 10. Service was awesome and it was a good time. We will definitely keep them on our radar for when we are back in the area! read more

I love the amount of beers on draft here. 40+ so there's something for everyone. I also appreciated that the guy behind the bar was knowledgeable about the beers they had available and he made quality recommendations. The food is standard bar food which is totally fine. Arguably the biggest mozzarella stick I've ever eaten. They take cards which helps. Overall good experience. read more

Goodnight Irenes has hit an all time low. Was in there last night to watch the Phillies game. The beer selection, which used to define the place, is the smallest its ever been. The place is empty (on a Saturday night) and dirty. You know how poorly run bars just feel sticky? That's Irenes now. It's a sticky dive bar. A roach crawled across the bar while I was sitting there. Pretty sure the bartender saw it; he didn't seem too surprised or concerned. And of course, no transformation from beloved gastropub to hole-in-the-wall dive would be complete without a handful of locals playing darts by the entrance. The outside bar w/ live music is probably enough to sustain this place for a few more years, but why? what it needs is new ownership to breathe some life into the place. ASAP. read more

What happened to this place. Been coming to GNI for years. It was our goto spot. Easily walkable from our shore house. It was great. But it has gone downhill, real bad and real fast. Apparently, they don't have working air conditioning inside. It's always warm and many nights they tie the door open and run a fan. They took all the good original items off the menu. They had a unique and awesome kielbasa sandwich and a unique take on chicken and waffles. Now just typical bar food. They were known for their brick oven pizza, but even on a recent trip, the Margarita pizza was dried out. Gonna have to find a new regular spot. read more

We had a very nice dinner here. Service is great, and they have very good traditional bar food. The pizzas are delicious and everyone was happy with what they picked. drinks are nicely poured and strong. It's always a great go to place. read more

Spin artichoke dip was all cheese and came out with entrees instead of as app. Chicken sandwich was really hard to bite on sides but was a 6/10 for flavor and size. Shrimp tacos were like a 3/10. No refills offered. read more

Went there to eat tonight, a party of 7. Too bad because the food tasted good but the service was absolutely terrible, from wait staff to the servers. A meal was never delivered and the server staff was very disrespectful and arrogant. Other tables also did not get all of their meals. Wait staff are constantly on their phones rather than ensuring that all meals are served and when one is not, do nothing to ensure it gets delivered timely. The service staff simply doesn't seem to care at all, and the arrogance of the food servers towards the customers is just horrible. Due to hiring sub par staff, they lost 7 paying customers from ever returning. Stay and away from this place and spend your hard earned vacation money somewhere that respects the customer and cares about service delivery. read more

We were visiting Wildwood for a few days, and this place was our FAVORITE stop. They have so many wonderful beers on tap (from ciders to sours to hazy IPAs and everything in between!), and the best wood-fired pizza. Not to mention, we had wonderful service and felt right at home. Absolutely recommend! read more

Nice relaxing place to eat and drink. Excellent service AJ awesome bartender. Also had a outside bar to relax with love entertainment

Walked in and had to eventually grab the waitress for a table. She actually inconvenienced. Sat down. Table was sticky so asked her for a rag, she said someone would come wipe it "I guess". Bus boy came over and sprayed my mom, rolled his eyes, and wiped half the table and then walked away before we could even saying anything. Left. Won't ever come back or recommend. Staff was all so rude and the place smelled bad overall read more

This place is Out of business. I heard new owners will be opening in the spring. Hope the food will be better as Good night Irene's food wasn't as good as it was when they first opened. read more

We go to Irene's many time during the year and they have the best food and service. We usually get AJ , as our bartender and always attentive and social. One of best service we get on the island for bar and food service.... read more

Wow! After a buying a condo in Wildwood I have driven by Goodnight Irenes a hundred times. Even after hearing good things, it took ten months for me to go. It was the Facebook post about the Octoberfest that brought me in, and I will be back soon. A friendly local pub, with over 38 beers on tap and a menu that has something for everyone on all, why did it take me so long to go??? On the specials we tried the potato pancakes and pretzel bites which were both very good! I had the fried kielbasa with mustard and long hot peppers, my g/f had the wings. Both were great! There is a dart board and shuffleboard table to play, as well as tv's and music playing. They make their own pizzas, with plenty of choices including a meatball and gnocchi that I can't wait to try. Now Goodnight Irene's is nothing fancy, it is good food with good drinks and a place to meet good friends! Go soon! read more

One of my favorite places in the Wildwoods. It feels like that local bar (which I guess it is) but I never get the feeling of not being local. (I am not) I always feel welcome in here. The beer is always good and a great variety................can't say I have ever bought food here. Just come in, have a good beer and relax. Great place! read more

You have to try the steak potatoes caramelized onions blue cheese and mozzarella pizza or really any of their pizzas My dad is partial to their burgers You won't be sorry Also the best selection of craft beer on the island Nicole the waitress and Jimbo the manager bartender provide excellent customer service Great place to chill and hangout with your family and friends Kid friendly through dinner Great place to watch a game DJ on weekends on and off season Live music in season with outdoor pet friendly patio Locals hang here read more

It seems like this place just gave up. It's January and there are still pumpkin beers on the menu. Food is average at best. Cajun chicken sandwich had over cooked chicken and a roll that crumbled while trying to eat it. Pizza was always good here but even that wasn't great. The worst part of the experience was the men's room. It smells as if the patrons just urinate on the floor and it's never cleaned. Absolutely disgusting to have these conditions in a restaurant. Won't return anytime soon. read more

Never thought I would be the person to be writing a review, but here I am. Over the weekend my girlfriend, brother, friend, and I stopped by this establishment to grab some food and a drink. We were staying at a hotel by the board walk and Google told us this would be a fun bar for a Saturday night. We sat at the outdoor bar and the bartender asked for all 4 of our IDs. Shortly after he told us to "have a goodnight" and held our IDs. At first we thought it was a joke but finally we realized he was very serious. The bartender said that he gets thousands of fake IDs and believed that our IDs were fake. We all offered to prove that we were of age with second forms of IDs. The bartender proceeded to show us why our real IDs were fake and told us it is under his discretion to deny whoever he wants. At this point we understood that we weren't getting drinks, but we wanted to prove we were or age (early to mid 20s). We told him that he could call the local police to confirm out ID numbers but he refused. When we spoke with the manager the bartender followed behind and he explained how it is under his discretion not to serve us. We explained to the manager we have second forms of IDs and he replied with "he is my best ID guy". Not only was the attitude and service poor, but the lack of management and understanding shocked us. The bartender even claimed to previously live in NYS (where we are from). We ended up going to the Firehouse Tavern (given 3 of us are volunteer firefighters) and had our IDs validated and had amazing service. Recommend going 2 blocks to the Firehouse Tavern instead. read more

Good bar food with a large selection of appetizers, sandwiches and the like. Service was good on a busy Saturday night. Beer selection was very good. I would give 3 1/2 stars if i could. Just not "special " enough for 4. Definitely stop in if you are hungry and want a large beer selection. read more

Sunday funday! At 530 pm we went to Irene's as they have good pizza and beer. It wasn't until my wife had to use the bathroom when it was discovered the ladies bathroom has been out of order since late Saturday night!!! Oh waitress what should my wife and the other women here do now? " I guess they'll have to hold it!!!" and proceeded to walk away! Hmm...I think someone needs customer service 101 retraining!!! read more

This place is a absolute shit show.... I am 26 and they broke my ID in half because they "didn't think I was old enough to drink". After I showed them other verifications that showed I was old enough, they did not serve me and my group I was with. We brought 34 people to enjoy a great day in wildwood. It was completely ruined by the bartenders on the outside bar. Do not come to this place. It looks great but once you experience the service you will never want to come again. I do not write reviews but this place is terrible!!! read more

After looking for an upbeat place with drinks and dancing, we decided to check our Goodnight Irene's for my sister's bachelorette party last night. We ended up having an amaaaazing time! The bartenders were super awesome and friendly. The DJ was fantastic and we loved that he was able to accommodate our requests that night, and the outdoor space was wonderful as well!! There was another bachelorette party and a bachelor party there too. Overall the vibes were fantastic! :) We will be back! Thanks for being wonderful and giving us a space for such a memorable night Goodnight Irene's!! read more

We've been coming to Goodnight Irene's since we bought down here 7 years ago. We usually get their pizza! They offer several kinds, but our faves are the Magherita and Boardwalk pizzas. That being said, last night I was in the mood for a burger. I ordered the mushroom burger, no cheese. It comes with carmelized onions and mushrooms and it was one of the best burgers I've had. I ate almost the entire burger, it was SO good. There are several other places in the island that have great burgers, but this one was outstanding! read more

A nice local place. It was very busy at 8pm. I did not like my pizza it was the dailtvspecial with caprese with prosciutto and balsamic vinegar. It was too much balsamic had a sweet taste the crust doughy not crisp. I think a hamburger and fries would have been a good idea. Beers were priced right. Wait staff is friendly. read more

Goodnight Irene's is open year round and always a good place to grab a drink and snack. The bartenders and staff are always friendly and the service is great. For a bar they have a pretty large menu and usually have blackboard specials. The menus is a step above average bar food. The cleanliness of the bar has improved very much over the last year but the bathrooms still need some work. read more

Nice staff, great booth sizes, delicious food, fair price. The only thing I wish is that the gluten free crust was in stock more. I love all the pizzas but unfortunately can only eat here when the gluten free crust is available and the last 3 times I have come, you haven't had it. Besides that, this place is a family favorite and a go to for dinner at least a couple times a summer. I would recommend the egg rolls, cheese steak pizza, and to check out the outdoor bar/seating! read more

I have been going to Goodnight Irene's for over 20 years.

Felt like some wings tonight and saw on Facebook $5 wings from I think 4 to 8 being out of work that was just what I needed to take home to have with a cold beer !!! Got my wings dry as I always do to keep them from getting soggy!! Chris the fine gentleman who answered the phone and took my order and brought it outside to me so I didn't even have to get out of the Car was really down to Earth and friendly!' 6 stars if there were 6 to give and can't wait to check it out when summer comes !!!' During COVID-19 they were spot on keep everyone safe the Togo food is the same as dining in.. 5 stars all the time read more

Beer = happiness :) Went here twice while staying around the corner. First experience was great. I found this craft beer bar by accident, after checking in to Epicure about a block away. I saw the name "Goodnight Irene's" come up on foursquare. I was intrigued and decided to Google it. A craft beer fan, I couldn't believe that I had never been to this bar. The selection sounded amazing! read more

Pretty cool bar but they allow smoking. I will not coming back. Service is also sub par

Pizza - yum! Spinach and artichoke dip - yuck! Lots of beers on Tap and I really enjoyed the ommegang witte for a nice Belgium white. Went here twice while staying around the corner. First experience was great, second was just so so. I think it really depends on what time you get there. The service seems to be extremely slow when you're sitting at the tables, but sitting a the bar wasn't horrible. I haven't tried the outside area, which looks nice, but they don't have the same draft offerings as they do inside, so if you want something other than bud light you have to keep coming inside to order one of the specialty drafts. read more

Come here every year, never had a bad experience. Chicken is top-notch, wings and sandwiches. Their mozzarella sticks are humongous, my brother got them as a meal and couldn't finish them. Their cheesesteaks are mediocre, but not bad. If you're craving one, maybe try their cheesesteak pizza instead (it's quite tasty). read more

Sleeper in the dead off winter. Cheap beers and loaded fries. Wings are legit too. Comfort food to the max.
