After several…read morefailed attempts to go to a very popular and packed happy hour nearby, we ventured a few blocks further and were so glad we found RYFE. I started with a delightful lemon berry spritz, $4.99 on happy hour, very light and refreshing in a sneaky boozy way. Spouse ordered a draft Hidden Sands beer, also $4.99 on happy hour. Staff was unobtrusive but readily available as we dined at the bar. Only a few other patrons were there on a Sunday at 430pm. I saw one order of tacos at the end of the bar and confirmed the tortillas were indeed corn, hooray! The appetizers are impressive in variety, portion and quality. We shared them, but spouse gravitated towards the shellfish. The red sauce mussels were made spicy on request, and they were a good sized portion with a simple toasted sliced bread. A little grated parm and parsley graced the mussels. The Tres Tacos were filled with a nice carne asada. Big chunks of perfect steak, pico, avocado and melty cheese inside on corn tortillas (rare in the East). I could eat these every day! I think the tortillas needed a little more time on the flat grill, but that's my preference. Finally the calamari. I dream about finding a grilled calamari like this back home in Phoenix. No breading, just pure grilled squid rings and tentacles all tossed with garlic, seared poblanos, lemon and some greens. LOVE LOVE LOVED this dish!!! It's about time we found a meal that wasn't pub food and was yet still affordably priced. RYFE has a very talented chef, we loved the menu and preparations. These happy hour appetizers are $10 and get this, they are available for take out! Why are you only in Atlantic City RYFE? Please come to Phoenix!!

2-Star Review -- Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, Caesars Atlantic City…read more August 23, 2026 at 5 pm I really wanted to like Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Atlantic City, especially given the reputation of the chef and the prices you expect at a restaurant like this. Unfortunately, our experience was a big disappointment. The seating was the first problem. We were initially offered seats on a railing directly next to a very busy walkway. It felt more like sitting in a mall food court than dining at a restaurant associated with a famous chef. We were eventually moved to a bench-style seat that was so low that we had to sit in separate chairs next to each other just to be comfortable. It made it difficult to even talk to or see each other. The food didn't improve things. Potato Leek Soup: Served lukewarm, with very little flavor and a consistency more like a flour-based paste than soup. The bacon pieces were actually the best part. French Onion Soup: There was more cheese stuck to the outside of the bowl than actually in the soup. The broth tasted more like bouillon than a rich beef stock. Burger: Also arrived lukewarm, which was especially surprising since I ordered it well done. The meat itself was good, but the pickles were easily the highlight--they were excellent. The burger came with one small piece of lettuce. Fish & Chips: This was the best dish of the meal. The fish was good, although there was quite a bit of excess breading on the ends. There were also gnats flying around the dining area, which certainly didn't help the experience. Another odd thing for a restaurant of this caliber is that there are no restrooms inside the restaurant. You have to leave the restaurant and go out into the busy hallway to find one. Again, it contributed to the feeling that we were dining in a food-court environment rather than a destination restaurant. The service was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but nothing was memorable either. When our food arrived, our server asked if everything "looked" alright, but never returned to actually ask how the food was. For a restaurant carrying the Gordon Ramsay name, I expected much more attention to detail and hospitality. Overall, I honestly felt the service was comparable to what I'd expect at a local pizza shop or an airport restaurant in Concourse C--not what I expected from a famous chef's restaurant. Two stars. The fish and chips and those pickles were good, but that's not enough to overcome the seating, lukewarm food, lack of flavor, gnats, mediocre service and overall atmosphere. For a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, I expected an experience worth remembering. Unfortunately, this is one I'll remember for the wrong reasons.

Seeking out live music on a Saturday early, we made our way to the Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall for a…read more7pm classic rock band. They have Happy Hour 1130-1 and 4-6 M-F, which we missed. They also have a great $25 dinner special on the weekends, however we weren't looking to eat that heavy. But the live music on weekends at 7pm brought me in without the specials. We started with a down East blackberry cider $8, and a wanderback Hugo pilsner $7. We took our time sipping slowly while the band's set up and began to play. I think our server was more eager for us to make a food order than we were to eat yet. But when we finally did order, we chose a Tennessee Avenue tycoon salad and the "Phish" grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas. The salad was fresh but ordinary, with grilled chicken, blue cheese, egg and bacon. Spouse opted for some sort of orange dressing instead of the normal avocado dressing, perhaps it was the same one I loved on the fish tacos, a chipotle aoli. The Phish tacos were on soft corn tortillas that needed more time on the flat grill with a little oil to crisp them up! The fish was nice and white with good sized pieces in each taco. The cabbage slaw inside was wet, mashed avocado and so was the aoli, so a little gloppy but good even if it fell apart. These tacos are normally served with a side of chips, so I asked what options I had besides potato. Our server happily volunteered a grilled vegetable side which I loved until I found out it was an $8 upcharge of which he didn't inform me when ordering. That's an extreme amount, for not advising the customer prior. We stayed for a second round, I had another blackberry cider because it was delicious. Spouse switched to the Blue Horizon Kolsch, but apparently it was high test because it was $10. It was a lovely evening but, room for improvement. The band was fantastic, played all our favorites and we stayed a lot longer as a result of the great weather and the lovely picnic tables in the "garden". The beer hall has done a great job making this a fun hangout!

Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall continues to be a favorite spot in Atlantic City's Orange Loop. Located…read morejust off the Boardwalk on Tennessee Avenue, it perfectly captures the laid-back beach-town vibe that makes this neighborhood so special. Great for a solo diner or a group or family. I stopped in for dinner around 6:15 PM and, as always, the atmosphere was welcoming. There's indoor seating, a full bar, and a fantastic outdoor space complete with games, a fire pit, and one of the best music playlists in town--often accompanied by live entertainment. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors naturally mix together, creating a fun and friendly energy. One thing that always makes me smile is the sign when you walk in explaining that the bartenders and servers may be outside and asking guests to let them know they've arrived. Honestly, who could blame them? With the fresh salt air coming off the Atlantic Ocean and the outdoor atmosphere they've created, it's exactly where I'd want to be too. Tonight I ordered the crab cake platter, served with garlic French fries and coleslaw. The crab cakes were very good, packed with flavor, and the fries were crispy, garlicky, and absolutely delicious. A simple meal done right. Everything was fresh and appealing, I eat small portions so I took one crab cake and some fries home with me. I did ask about dessert, nothing was available, I don't do sweets frequently, I'm surprised they don't request Momma Chocolate, at Bar32 to make some extras for days they are closed. My server, Bella, was upbeat, bubbly, and attentive throughout the evening, adding to an already enjoyable experience. Parking is easy, with both free and paid options nearby, plus curbside access. Whether you're a local looking for a regular hangout or a visitor exploring beyond the casinos, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is well worth the short walk from the Boardwalk. Highly recommended for good food, cold drinks, great music, and some of the best local vibes in Atlantic City.

We got there for our 615pm reservations and even though the place was packed, we were seated right away. Our server Paola was friendly and energetic. We almost didn't have a good experience eating here until we explained our dietary needs and Paola helped us with the right menu items. :) I would recommend the Pei Mussels - Frites $19.00 with Garlic white wine, butter beans, fries, béarnaise, the sourdough crusted Italian bread loaf and the Apple Cider Glazed Salmon $38.00 with Smoked shallots, shishito peppers. Some of the classic specialties. I then received a birthday song with a candle in my Mango Sorbet with added blueberries. If I'm in AC again, I would go back to get the mussels and salmon dishes again :)

We loved visiting the historic Claridge Hotel, experiencing the classic old elevators and lobby. There were no delays, all the elevators were working fine. The Vue bar is located on the 26th floor, and the outside deck wraps almost all the way around the building, with views for miles. In the shadow of the Bally's tower, it's possible to take a selfie showing the reflection of the building on which you stand, in the copper mirrors of the Bally's windows. Ocean views for miles, bay sunsets and city views the other way. High barstools along the glass and some mixed sofas and outdoor seating areas were set up for conversation or smoking. With happy hour every day from 4-7, it is one of the most generous in Atlantic City (where most aren't offered on weekends or past six pm). We had $7 margaritas, $7 long island ice teas and a good order of crispy and spicy buffalo wings for $9. And I had to come back again, because I just couldn't get enough of the view. Met some nice folks including the chef's mom and son who came by to visit. Lovely, and highly recommend!

The bartender working days on 3/15/2026 was half lost in the sauce. Greeted us promptly because upon arrival we were the only ones there. I asked if they had Surfsides and he said yes but when he went to get me one he found they were out. We ordered three appetizers. He said he was going to get us sharing plates and got distracted 2 seconds later and we had to ask for them. When we were ready to leave he was standing at the end/outside of the bar on his phone. It took a couple minutes to get his attention. 1 - soft pretzel. The pretzel itself was good. It says it comes with spicy mustard. It does NOT. It came with some nasty, flavorless honey mustard type dip. It was not spicy mustard. 2 - buffalo wings. I am not quite sure how they made the sauce. It had something in it we could not put our finger on but it was not the traditional buffalo sauce you'd expect. We left two or three wings uneaten. 3 - cheesesteak eggrolls. I took one look at them and was scared to eat one but I did. They come with 2 egg rolls cut it half. They were so small and you can tell at first glance they are straight from the freezer. We left two out of four eggrolls on the plate. The food photos on their website are 100% false advertisement. I have no reason to ever visit again and felt bad for my family I dragged there having higher expectations after following them on Facebook for weeks leading up to the visit.

It was the middle of the day so the place was pretty empty. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very cool. She had some good shows on TV and she poured heavy. The bar had a bunch of funny signs all over the place. It's a chill dive bar and I'm sure on a busy night it's probably a great place to grab an unpretentious drink. We found out we could buy drinks from BS and bring them next door which get you around the whole no alcohol situation. I mean, if you're going to Bare Exposure in the daytime, you might want to grab a stiff drink beforehand.

We were 2 of the only people sitting at the bar with our empty glasses right in front of us waiting (we waited for about 20 minutes). We couldn't believe it! We were given the wrong change and it was just a mess! Hopefully it was just an off night but we unfortunately will not be back.

The server was friendly and efficient, and we got our drinks quickly. I also got my kid a strawberry non alcoholic drink, which was a nice option to have. Overall, it's exactly what you'd expect, solid spot for fun frozen drinks with good service. Definitely worth stopping by if you're on the boardwalk.

Always able to use it.
