Went on a Sunday afternoon and everything was great...server was very nice, food was delicious, and enjoyed the vibe. We sat upstairs at a high top table (not too high) and it was so bright and airy...lots of windows which were open since it was a nice day. They have a large bar area upstairs and had live music but even with that it wasn't too loud. The downstairs area looks really nice too. They have an elevator for those who can't take the steps. If you go before 2pm you can order from the brunch menu as well as the regular menu which provides a lot of options. I liked how the gluten free items were marked on the menu and that there were more options than just salad! The GF elote pizza was amazing and the crust was so good I had to check to make sure it really was GF lol! read more

Sunrise Tequila Bar - Rich "The man" Deans - Tacos Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

Had a rooftop reservation last night, which my wife made weeks in advance, only for it not to be honored when we arrived (on time). First we were gaslit about the reservation being made for downstairs, so we showed the hostess our confirmation showing otherwise, but still we were seated downstairs anyway with zero accommodations made. Drinks were overpriced and poor quality read more

After dinner nearby we stopped here for a drink. We knew we wanted to enjoy the open air rooftop but when we walked in we had to figure out on our own where to go. Not a single person acknowledged us and there was literally only one customer seated. As we walked around we noticed on a back wall the sign for rooftop this way and so we followed it. Once upstairs, we sat at the bar and had prompt and friendly service. We had a tequila lemon drop and tried the Margarita martini which was supposed to be spicy, but was not at all. The space was nicely decorated and the dj brought the vibes. We didn't have food because we just ate but I would return to try something on the menu. 7/10 read more

If you love tequila & yummy food options with something for everyone, then you'll love Sunrise! It's just a couple blocks from the beach in Margate, NJ & it is the new hot spot at the Jersey shore. The decor is modern & lounge like with 2 floors. The upstairs is giving rooftop vibes with windows that open all throughout & dj's on certain evenings. Service is prompt despite how busy it can get. Definitely make a reservation if you want to sit upstairs. They even offer bottle service on their couches & have a bottle shop downstairs. For food, I've had the truffle fries, street nachos, lobster quesadillas, & wagyu beef sliders & everything was so fresh & delicious! Cocktails are all delicious & there are so many to choose from. We were even surprised to see the huge selection of tequilas that you can order neat or rimmed, however you wish! The only downside about this place is trying to find a parking spot, but that's life down the shore. read more

Sunrise Tequila Bar - Peach bliss pizza bring this back! - Tacos Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

Had a lovely low key morning on the beach and had sudden urge for a really good martini and something light for lunch (there's only so many hoagies and seltzers a person can take lol) I'm so happy I found this spot! Martini was PERFECTLY made. Went for the salmon ceviche (although it was a tough choice because there were tons of delicious options on the menu). Ceviche was fresh, chips were perfectly toasted. It was EXACTLY what I was craving. The decor of the place is stunning! Kudos to whoever designed this spot. Absolutely gorgeous. Bartender was friendly + attentive and staff in general was really on point. It was my first time visiting and I absolutely will be back. I came in right before happy hour (3-6) but it looked like there were some good options being offered on that menu so I plan on going back to check out a few more things. read more

It's not MY vibe! However it's very popular with a much younger set 21-40's and they love it! Particularly the upstairs bar area that has a lounge feel! Not for me. Not for ME. read more

Went to the bar on a Saturday night with friends. It was a nice atmosphere, good drinks and attentive bartenders.

An open-air bar at the shore. Ahhhh! We visited Sunrise Tequila Bar for a pre-dinner drink on a beautiful Saturday evening (around 7:00 PM). I've been on a tequila kick of late, so this was right up my alley. The average age at the downstairs/inside bar was about 15 years older than the upstairs bar. Interesting. We made our way upstairs and managed to land 3 bar seats for our party of 4. Watermelon Margaritas all around. The drink was well-balanced, but the rim garnish tasted like the smoky/spiced rub my husband uses when he makes brisket on the Kamado Joe (this was his feedback, and he nailed it). It was overpowering. If we had more time, I would have ordered a different variation for round 2. It was refreshing, nevertheless. The bartender provided ice water for us without having to ask. This is something I greatly appreciate, and I wish every establishment did the same thing. Hydration is key, people! It was a little pricey, but it's Margate, so there's that. Being outside, "rooftop" on a low-humidity night was like a hug for my soul (and hair). The dinner reviews on Yelp seem questionable, so I think we'll stick to cocktails going forward. Go early and "go margarita"! read more

We went to check out this place on a Saturday around lunch in off season and we had the best experience. The whole place has a great vibe, the food and service were excellent. The first drink i had wasn't great - i don't remember what it was called but it was the spicy watermelon margarita but it was actually so strong it tasted like straight spicy tequila and i feel like it probally wasn't made right. Next i ordered a mezcal marg and it was perfect! I'm so happy this place exists read more

Service was horrible. Waited 25 minutes for a reservation that never materialized. Sat at the bar and waited another 20 minutes to get noticed. Bar was packed, only 1 bartender and no help. Horrible service. I asked to speak to the manager and they sent a 22 year old and all he said was "come back on a weekend and see how we handle the crowd". Awful - do not go. read more

Amazing! Went last Sunday for an early dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was very welcoming. To start we had The broccoli pizza which was crispy and delicious. The chips and salsa with guacamole were so fresh I swear they tasted like were made to order. The special that night was shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. The dish was outstanding we also tried the mahi mahi dinner again amazing and prepared perfectly. We saved room for dessert we tried both the cheesecake and tiramisu. What can I say other than be sure to save room for desert! Cheesecake was probably the best we have had in a long time. Shout out to Bianca who made our meal perfect. Thank you. read more

Sunrise Tequila Bar - Salmon Polk!!!!! - Tacos Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

Beautiful rooftop venue. Food was fair. The cocktails were terrible! I'm convinced our cocktails had no alcohol in them. Maybe they think tequila is for decoration not consumption! Waste of money for an $18 drink. read more

Incredibly amazing. Came here Thursday night. Had some apps and tequila drinks. Everyone was so friendly, the service was amazing, and the ambiance was great. We will come back here all summer long. Anybody that would ever leave a negative review about a restaurant that opened a few weeks ago is just a hater. read more

First time to sunrise and not our last! Very good food, service was quick and excellent! Our waitress was very helpful. Vibe was on point! Nice chill spot with great views! read more

I I had the opportunity to check out the establishement that delivered with a wide range of food items and a warm and inviting atmosphere. Had a great experience at the bar thanks to Kyle the bartender. He was very friendly and attentive and clearly skilled. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a drink. read more

This place is dynamite - honestly the only reason they have less than a 4 star rating is because all of the old people in that neighborhood are trying to fry this place. If you can't have a good time at a rooftop bar down the shore on a beautiful summer night is because you're a party pooper read more

We arrived there and were immediately ushered upstairs. The surroundings and decor were impressive, however, the service definitely was not. First of all when we walked in, I informed the young man who sat us that there would be a birthday at our table. He told me he would let the server know. He did not. We ordered drinks and it took quite a while for them to arrive at the table. We looked around and the bar appeared to be well staffed and there were empty seats. Our waitress was not very attentive. Empty dishes were not removed and the second round of drinks ordered took just as long if not longer. Needless to say the birthday dessert arrived at our table without a birthday candle. ​ It was a very disappointing first time out. read more

Sunrise Tequila Bar - Tacos Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

I took my family out. It was my daughter birthday. We really enjoyed our food we would definitely come back again.

The drinks are good ( a little pricey, but you have to expect that Ventnor margate area) service was very nice. The rooftop good as well

This place got it right! From the friendly host greeting to the most attentive bartender. We did not have a reservation but the hostess could not have been more accommodating to suggest the upstairs bar. I asked the bartender for a sipping tequila in my price range and he nailed it. The wyagu sliders were off the chart. My wife had the prime rib and it did not disappoint! The staff was very busy but very attentive and gave off a great friendly vibe. The place is spotlessly clean! Definitely recommend for a change of pace " down the shore" read more

I read the reviews prior to my wife and I dining at this establishment, however, we did not let the negative comments influence our decision on dining there. We were greeted by their hostess who was very helpful and friendly. She walked us up to the roof top and sat us at a table, by Ventnor Ave. Our server was friendly and she helped us decide what to order from the menu. The food quality was what we expected. For those of you who have never opened a new restaurant, there are glitches to be worked out. Though we did not experience any on this visit. We will be back quite often this summer. read more

I worked in hospitality for a really long time and hate leaving reviews, but this felt necessary. This was one of the worst meals my partner and I have ever had down the shore across any shore point. The brussels sprouts were really bad - tough with a stale tasting sauce/glaze. It was the first time in my life I sent something back for tasting bad. They did remove this from the bill. My partners wrap was fine, my poke bowl was ok. My drink was fine, a watered down mojito. It was pricey which I know is expected down the shore, but the food felt akin to a chain restaurant. read more

fabulous service - our server Jules was amazing The hotspot in Margate Run.... don't walk love it read more

I typically don't write a bad review on a newer restaurant, but our experience here was terrible and what caused me to write this review was the attitude of the staff and manager. We arrived and they were very busy. We were greeted by the manger who said the downstairs we could put our names in for a table downstairs or first come first serve upstairs. We headed upstairs and it was busy, so we ordered a drink from the bartender at the bar. It took them about 15 minutes to acknowledge our existence and then seemed agitated that we were ordering drinks....kind of his job. He looked very overwhelmed. We ordered our drinks and we noticed he had to read the menu to see the ingredients for the drinks. Well, he left some out and does not know portioning. The drinks were so terrible, we had to wait for another bartender and asked him to make us new ones. We hardly ever send stuff back, but for $18 per drink and how terrible they were, we had to. It was straight up lime juice in the one drink that was supposed to be coconut based. A couch with table opened up so we went there in the hopes to order food. The table was full of food and it took a while for it to be bussed. The waitress walked by us several times and never acknowledged us. We grabbed her and she said she would be back and never came back. The high top next to us opened up so we thought we would have better luck there. The waitress finally came over and said we had to put our names in for a table. We explained what the manager said and she went to go check. Now we have been here 2 hours and only able to get one drink and no food. She came back about 15 min. later and said we needed to put our names in. At this point the place was cleared out. We went downstairs to leave and head to Tomatoes to get some food. On the way out we saw the manager who instructed us on the first come first serve and explained our situation and experience. We aren't complainers, but wanted to bring it to her attention so they could improve or explain. I would have given this place another try in the future, but the manager didn't seem to care and when I turned my back she made a face at me and rolled her eyes and began to laugh with the hostess. This was caught by several people in our group. We just left and will never return because of this manager and the waitress upstairs and the terrible bartender. We were excited about this addition to Margate, but when staff mistreats customers, that is a hard no for us returning ever again. I am fine with a new restaurant working out the bugs, but there is no excuse for how we were treated. My recommendation is to stick with the businesses that respect their customers and try to do the right thing. read more

Upsetting to say the least. To start, the restaurant is gorgeous and has an awesome vibe but sadly that wasn't enough to recover the horrid experience our party had yesterday. Unprofessional servers and inexperienced management. I would hate for this beautiful restaurant go to waste from their management who doesn't know the first thing about how to treat customers and make issues right. read more

Absolute amazing tequila bar!! My whole crew and I came out from Colorado to visit Atlantic City and this was the best Atmosphere and food in the city! The service was quick and intimate! Drinks were great and the roof top views made us feel like we were somewhere else. Absolutely loved the experience. Coming back for sure! read more

I Don't usually review places but I feel it necessary to do so on this particular place. Entered for the first time spoke to the hostess she told us that upstairs you did not need a reservation so off we go to the upstairs. The only thing going for this place is that it is quite pretty upstairs. The service was horrible we waited at the bar for a lot of time before getting probably one of the worst drinks to which the bartender or said bartender had to read off the menu to get the ingredients and just still started pouring contents into the glass without measuring The drink tasted like gasoline. Fast forward after waiting 2 hours we were sitting in the corner lounge area and we're told that we could get food and the previous party that was in there got food because the food sat there for at least 45 minutes while we were sitting there waiting for a waitress to come ovee. several waitresses did see us looked at us and looked away. So we thought let's move on to one of the high top tables in hopes to get service this is after hour too we ask the waitress and she said that we had to make a reservation downstairs. To end the story we went to tomatoes where they always make it happen.... This place is never going to make a summer crowd that is for sure. It wasn't so much as the experience was bad but on the way out the hostess manager rolled her eyes at my husband and that was it for me! They lost out on a lot of money and tomatoes gained a lot of money.... Needless to say we will never go back! read more

Feel like the owners need to read this. Came on a Friday. Place was packed. The good: margaritas were excellent. Fresh lime and agave. Measured good job. Was one of the best margaritas I've had in SNJ. ****for all readers order a better tequila on the classic margarita. They mod it on the check no upcharge!!!! Owners pay attention and fix this asap**** The awful: Service. We had three servers promise to bring us menus. We ordered drinks and it took 30+ min. Our food beat our first round of drinks!!! From what I could see there was no service bartender. They were taking care of their guests before tables. Also why is the server asking me if I want menus. A the hostess should have given us menus or at least the servers comes with water and menus at the greet. Really poorly organized The food was honestly awful. No corn tortillas for tacos!? The fries were honestly awful train wreck. They were soggy and barely cooked. It's a shame because the concept is good but the execution awful. Get your fryer hotter!!!!! The carnitas nachos were dead cold. The carnitas were good but super cold and therefore greasy. I didn't mind the nachos but I'd get a thicker chip or don't yourself (may not be viable with the volume) Ultimately the product is sub par right now. Ownership needs to make changes and fast. Chef needs to scale down the menu and do a few things really well It's a shame nice space, hip, fills a good niche but poorly executed read more

Place looked like it could be good but it's not great. Drinks were weak and way overpriced. At least give what we pay for. Even for margate prices , I'd rather spend my money somewhere else. Sliders came out raw...not sure how you mess them up. It's upgraded bar food. Vibe was ok upstairs but then you see the mechanic joint across the street...not what I'd call ambiance. Service was pretty bad but I think it's because they didn't have enough help. She was nice though. We won't be back... this place may not make it. read more

Are they serious with their prices ? They have some nerve charging the prices they ask . I would give this place a hard pass . There are many better options in Margate , Somers Point and Ventnor . read more

Drinks are over priced and not good. Some food has been decent, but the taco flight and tortilla chip app is bad. And again, over priced. Most bartenders have been good, but I did go in one day and sit down at an almost empty bar yet did not get served for over 10 minutes until I walked out. There is no parking. Parking next to the building will get you ticketed or towed. read more

Chris is the best bartender! we go to see him food and drinks are delicious, great atmosphere read more

I enjoyed this place the first visit during an early dinner Mon a Saturday . Yet the second time I went there it was in the early evening during the week and I sat at the bar. The service was great! The food and portion size was a joke. It was totally different than the daytime getting the lobster tacos. Very bland with little inside in the evening and one less taco, but the same price! $26 for nothing. There was no flavor in it, very little of ANYTHING and I was so hungry after I ate the small empty bland soft lobster taco. I don't think I will be going back here anymore. read more

The service was incredibly slow. It seems like the place needs service improvement, waiting for drinks for 30 minutes is not acceptable.

First off, food was excellent. We got the skirt steak, mahi mahi, sausage pizza and buffalo cauliflower- everything was delicious. Drinks were also awesome. But I have to shout out of waiter Logan, it was so crazy busy and he did everything right, great service. Request him! The restaurant is also beautiful. Great new addition to Margate! read more
