Fun, though busy "beach" bar a bit outside of Washington Square / Congress Hall area. Food is ok, not stellar, service is decent though understaffed.

This beachside restaurant vibe is amazing along with the live music! Unfortunately, that's the nicest thing I have to say about that (other than Tina, the bartender). In general, the staff has no urgency, technology (TVs, WiFi's, credit card stations) is terrible, bar seats are uncomfortable, and food is mediocre at best. The Specials on the board aren't even updated. Unfortunately, you're not made to feel special here, but maybe it doesn't matter. I just think @caperesorts need to invest in staff service and bar experience.

Great bar in Cape May right across from the beach. We went for lunch and sat outside under the covered patio, would love to visit again and sit in the sand area or even inside at the bar during winter months. They had live music and the overall vibe was excellent.
