    Margarita
    Jo Y.

    I went to Nucky's for happy hour on a Friday with some friends. We sat at the bar. The cool breeze coming from the large open windows was wonderful. I enjoyed the relaxed ambiance. I ordered a margarita without mix and the bartender nailed it. This is my go-to drink and trust me, I've had some bad ones. Now on to the appetizers. We had cheesesteak egg rolls, clams in white wine sauce, Brussels sprouts with goat cheese and Caesar salad. Everything exceeded my expectations! It was delicious! The only thing that would have improved my experience was if the bread were the Formica sub roll and a more generous piece of bread to soak up all the yummy clam sauce. Im looking forward to my next happy hour at Nuckys!

    Steamers, meatball, old fashion, bees knees
    Jamie L.

    I'm being generous by giving 1 star. Had a reservation with my family for 7pm on a Friday evening. The first interaction at the hostess stand downstairs gave a quick glimpse into what the rest of the evening would hold. The hostess was visibility annoyed she had to check in guests and do her job. As a previous hostess myself, her level of customer service was disgraceful. Onto the dining experience - I will say the hostess upstairs was lovely, as well as the waitress. What we ordered: -old fashion: watered down bourbon with zero flavor. -bees knees: only part of the order that was good. Well balanced cocktail -ahi tuna appetizer: foul- sent back. I would have taken a picture of the tuna, but I didn't want to do that to my phone. Clearly frozen tuna, so over cooked, looked grey and disgusting. -meatball: watered down, tasteless marina sauce with a barely cooked, previously frozen meatball. Should have sent this back too. Inedible. -steamers: pretty hard to screw up steamers but they found a way. So salty that's all you could taste. -Burrata: Very strange assortment of things- cucumbers? Cherry tomato's? Tiny piece of cheese with no flavor I would rather eat a Wawa then ever eat here again. The prices they are charge are also abysmal for the quality.

    Ahi Tuna
    Sylvia S.

    Recently dined at a local shore spot offering a pleasant New American menu. The beachside around the corner added a nice touch to the experience. We enjoyed the ahi tuna, which was fresh and tasty. The draft beer selection was good and complemented our meal well. The chicken buffalo bites had a nice amount of spice, and the French onion soup was rich and satisfying. We also tried the Caesar salad that was crisp, fresh and had good amount of dressing. The service was quick, making it an overall lovely place for a relaxing meal by the beach. A family friendly spot with an outdoor seating.

    Hanger steak
    Cheri F.

    It was sadly disappointing. Service was VERY slow. When ur appetizers come out before your drinks you know we are off to a bad start. The Nonna's meatball was dry and tasted burnt. The crab dip had very little taste and the whipped ricotta &cinnamon had nice texture and taste. We would wait a half hour for drinks and our bottle of wine....we'll our dinner arrived and we had to chase down the waitress to get it. The chicken Parm lacked flavor and plate presence. The short Rib Ragu was tender and flavorful but too much oil took away its potential greatness. The hanger steak had great plate presence but unfortunately was not hot at all. Def. Won't be back

    Short rib tacos
    Ashley P.

    We came for happy hour, which is every day 4-6pm. Overall great experience! The food is delicious, plentiful portions and unique menu. The short rib tacos need a sauce - something was missing. But overall our meal tasty! The service could use improvement- they need a host or crowd control in the Happy Hour downstairs area. Tables are first come first serve but we sat and it didn't seem like the server knew we were there. Once we got the ball rolling, it was fine, friendly service.

    I am so happy this place finally opened up. They've really got a great spot going and it's right in our town! These are the kinds of places that make us locals realize how lucky we are to live here. First off, what a great location, beautiful building. They did an amazing job. I've now been here twice. Once for a quick cocktail and a movie, the other for dinner with the girls. We went all out and ordered a handful of appetizers from a pretty delectable selection. I gotta say, the French onion soup made a pretty lasting impression and I will absolutely be going back for that one. Everything else was delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any choice, even though I still can't wrap my head around fried avocado... that was pretty tasty as well. Service was wonderful and even the entertainment was great both times. However, the second time they were really rocking out. It's a considerably small space, so it's no wonder they were so loud. I am yet to have a sit down dinner in the upstairs level of the building, so I can't wait for that! Great jobs Nucky's. Highly recommend.

    4 stars for the holiday lounge, but 3 stars otherwise…read more The 1927 Lounge is located just off to the side of the casino in the Ocean Resort and offers a mix of slop machine noise/excitement, paired against a quiet corner nook of coziness. The bar occasionally offers live music, but my favorite time to visit is during the holidays, when they turn it into a festive Christmas spot with holiday beverages. There are fun decorations, strands of lights, Home Alone 2 playing on the televisions, and much more to really get you in the holiday spirit. I most recently tried the Pomegranate Margarita on their seasonal menu and thought it was excellent; it was not too sweet or too weak. I should note that there are rarely servers in the lounge area, so you typically need to go up to the bar to place an order, which can disrupt the flow of fun you might be having. Overall, I think the 1927 Lounge is decent on a normal day, but much better when they have a themed takeover happening.

The bartenders are fun, full of personality and make cocktails quickly. And then you have the speakeasy. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but as soon as I walked in I noticed a male dancer up in the cage, followed by about 8 women in costume. The choreography was sexy yet very tasteful. They have acts that incorporate thrilling tricks that keep everyone on their toes. I could not help but take videos so I could show all of my friends and family back at home just how incredible it actually is. You will not be disappointed!

You will get lost. Check in gets 10 stars! Super convenient and quick. You aren't waiting. Service was great. We were put in the Salona Tower. There's 2 elevators. That's it. Waited in line for 20 minutes just to get on the elevator to go up to our room. Seems like there's a bank of 4 but only 2 are working. This was super inconvenient. Room itself was good. Spacious and all the things you need. Seems as if it has been updated. There's a huge bathroom with a tub, one sink and toilet. The bed was comfy and a king. There's a TV, chair, and small table. I think there was a fridge but not sure as we didn't use. There was an ironing board as well. Safe too. Overall good accommodations. Nothing fancy. Just what you need.

Well, the "Irish Pub" you know from the Monopoly game is actually this real property, "The Irish Pub and Inn", here on St. James Place in Atlantic City. Also, the game's iconic red hotel design inspired the game's red hotels, making it a real-life landmark for Monopoly fans. During most of the year, this legendary, 24/7 pub is famous for its unique, memorabilia-filled atmosphere and historical ties to AC, the Monopoly game, prohibition, etc., attracting visitors who enjoy its authentic, home-style vibe. But during Christmas, its decorations are on a whole other level of amazingness. Photos will not permit you to understand just how fantastic the volume and scope of lights, ornaments and figurines abound all around the restaurant and bar areas. The owner starts decorating weeks before Christmas adding new items each day through Christmas. You can't miss catching the Christmas spirit here, while taking in some spirits! It is a cash only venue. Make sure to come prepared. But if not? They do have an ATM onsite to help pay for the classic fish and chips or / AND the St James Potatoes. Those fries are like a poutine for those who know. The service is no frills but provided with pride and a smile, always. You can never go wrong here for a quick, basic, and satisfying meal and drink at reasonable prices in good company.

We showed up 15 minutes early for our reservation and they allowed us to be seated. I'd like to point out that the service was impeccable.

Our waitress also came over shortly thereafter to ask if we had been helped and if we had any questions. They were both so attentive the entire night and we couldn't have been more grateful. My friend and I both got the Endless Summer cocktail. It was okay. I was expecting it to be sweeter but it was still refreshing. I got used to the taste.
