So let's set a few things straight on these "reviews". 1, the staff here are in fact wonderful, and being a regular I have made many friends, the security here does the job they are supposed to do, that is let the people who are here to have a good time in and keep the troublemakers out, I have sat on the patio at night and witnessed many "issues" at the door and in every case I have personally seen it's Security trying their best to be nice and drunk obstinate patrons that insist on causing an issue instead of just walking away, they don't make money turning people away, so if they do there is a reason don;t you think. The Bartenders are friendly, come when it's slow and you can actually have time to have a conversation, yes at night they are very busy and trying to make everyone happy, cut them a little slack. 2. Cover charge, Folks this is the Jersey Shore and on a 4th of July weekend what do you expect, yes it's going to be 20 bucks, Other weekends it's less, and in October when its dead it's usually free, every other bar with bands does the same thing. 3 Drinks, short of Frozen drinks you can get pretty much anything else here, they stock the same liqueurs every other bar does, it's pretty standard (except 151, ahem), in the occasional instance they don't know how to make something, they will look it up. 4. Food, food is totally on par with price, this is a Grill not a Restaurant, they don't serve prime rib no, but they serve great comfort food type dishes, Great pizza, and this is one of the sleepers on the Island for breakfast, you can wait in line for an hour at the more well known diners on a Sunday morning, or come here and usually get seated immediately and get the same breakfast without the wait. And you can eat outside on the patio.... Oh and the buffet is only Thursday. 5 the crowd, The type of crowd is totally dependent on when you go, at 5PM you will get an older crowd and it's a dinner crowd. After 10 you will get a younger crowd, and yes it's loud, if that's a problem for you then consider one of the other places in Beach haven. Also on busy nights the upstairs bar is open (check with the door first) and you can escape the crowd at the main bar. They have happy hour between 4 and 7 with half price drink specials and a happy hour menu. Yes I am a local, and yes I come here often, no I do not work here, I'm just a regular that is tired of seeing YELP used for revenge. read more

What a joke. Honestly a minor league dive bar with staff as knowledgeable as dirt. A bunch of low IQ dirt bags dance around the steps like they're celebrating the World Series as if they weren't bottom tier fake security guards overcompensating for their unimpressive display of masculinity. For whatever reason last weekend, my completely legitimate 21 year old New York ID was flagged in their cute little leap frog computer tablet as "suspicious". The old hag working the leap frog told me I could either watch him press the "call police" button or "run". Rather than dealing with overly excited rent a cops going through the adrenaline rush of their summer, I decided to walk. The short man smelt so bad anyway I had to leave. If you are on this island go somewhere where the staff is somewhat knowledgeable of anything other than Tonka trucks and crayons. To be honest though, I'm happy I could make some careers tonight. Always good to take time to do something nice for people like that. For $10 an hour they are very enthusiastic! read more

Nardi's is the worst place I have ever been to. Where does one begin to speak of such a disappointment of a place. The bus for starters was empty except one old lady prostitute who sits there everyday asking to give $1 handies. July 22nd, 2013, the first time i stepped foot into the 7th layer of hell that is Nardi's, it reeked of old dog feces not the fresh ones they haven't been able to clean up,oooohhhh no like week old white dog turds. I spotted three bouncers smoking a J outside and "juicing" to get big. They kicked my Mother out of Nardi's that evening because she ordered a simple rum and coke and gave her a used condom in a cup. It like if you dont have wooden teeth, have STD's and are at least 75 years of age and enjoy the smell of week old white dog shit, why are you their. Also the bartender fucked my mom and knowing ruined my parents marriage. read more

Horrible. Stay away. Was easily one of the worst bars I've ever been to (I'm 31). The band was putrid - I think they were called Take 2. They had zero talent, the singer used an iPad for lyrics. Couldn't keep a beat at all. The cover was $15 and the bar is crap. Nothing nice or pleasant to say about the interior at all. Security guard was lame - trying to grill my girlfriend regarding her ID (she's 23 years old). The food (pizza) was terrible and I know the place has terrible food cause our serve goes "wow this actually looks like a pizza" when she delivered it to us. Uhhh what? Stay away - go to Joe Pops, Seashell, the Marlin, anywhere other than this abortion of a place. I'd give it a zero if I could. None of my group (7) had fun and would NEVER go back. read more

One of the bouncers called me a bitch and a cunt last night. Down here for Memorial Day, was outside talking to one of the bouncers and made a joke to another standing there (dark hair dark beard) because I thought he was listening to the conversation. I guess I was wrong and he was talking to someone else because he then proceeded to verbally bitch slap me saying that "not everything's about me and I need to learn to handle my liquor." Very professional...I immediately left and heard him laughing behind me, at me. This man should 100% be fired. I will never come back here again. I'm sorry you suffer from SPS, you awful person. Now hopefully you will be unemployed too. read more

I wish I could give this place negative 5 fives stars. This place is disgusting. The staff is racist, homophobic, and misogynistic and are very vocal about it. Do not give them your money unless you want to support views of the 1850s. They also add false tips to your check if they are not satisfied with the quantity you left. Make sure to check your bank statements after you leave if you do decide to go to this horrid location, because they will pad the bill. This is a business of slimy, cheap, racially profiling people and I would stay as far away as I could if I was you. read more

OWNER SPAT ON ME AND MANAGER CALLED MY FRIENDS AND I WHORES!!! If I could give negative 10 stars I would. They lost my friends card and when we proceeded to ask them where it was or what they were going to do to compensate for the fact that they LOST SOMEONES CREDIT CARD the manager then told me that he was going to do nothing and that we needed to get out of his bar. He then proceeded to make derogatory comments and then a woman claiming to be the owner chased us down the block spitting at us and threatening to "go judo on my ass". NEVER GO HERE read more

If I could leave a negative star I would!! These asshole need to all be arrested... They kicked my group of 11 people out because someone on the second floor opened a window... Meanwhile they charged us $20 per person (& kept it) the cops were called after they assaulted 2 of the group members. The one being escorted out was punched across the jaw when he wasn't resisting and his father was shoved down stairs after simply asking why his son was being kicked out. These people are animals and pieces of shit. read more

Came here twice while on vacation and had a great time. There's always something going on here, which worked out great for us since we were visiting off-peak season. The service was great. Mike the bartender is awesome and I hope he's still there when we come back down to visit the island!!!!! Cold tasty beers and yummy food as well. The mussels (both red and white) were out of this world both times we came by, too! I hope to ride the famous Pink Bus next time!! read more

Nardi's is a staple when I visit Long Beach Island. Our beachhouse is right down the road. I would give it a solid 4 stars. It gets crazy packed in the summer and good place to let loose and party. I see some haters by the amount of negative reviews, but I honestly would ignore them and check it out yourself. The food is so-so and normally get the pizza after a long night of drinking. read more

if you want to go to a place where bouncers are trashy and try to start fights and push each other into you to instigate a fight nardis is your place, I have a video to prove this too bad I can't upload it. very trashy place read more

First time customers and really had a blast! After our wedding reception we visited Nardi's as Newlyweds. Everyone Congratulated us and was even taken up on stage. Surely a night to remember. Will visit again soon! read more

Creeps abound at this place, both male and female of assorted ages and the bus only makes for some ugly drunks, again all ages and both sex. Avoid at all costs! read more

The bouncer was a complete jerk off. Not sure what his name was unfortunately. Disrespectful to women especially!!!!

Only negative things to say about Nardi's. Go elsewhere. Not worth spending money or time at this establishment

Their pizza is the best on the island!!! Such a cute little place and family friendly!

It is a fun-loving group of people that frequent there RIP bob

Wouldn't accept a military ID as valid identification. SHAMEFUL!
