Bally's Bikini Beach Bar

We went on a sunday afternoon and there was a live band, happy hour drinks and tons of people!

Did you know this is one of the rare places that has a beach bar ON the beach? And better yet - if you want to opt out of the crowd,  rent an umbrella and chair next door and pull up next to the band.

Food. A-OK, typical bar food. Hot dogs $4 - best bang. THe nachos were pretty good -enough to split for 2.

Service - well they are really busy so it is what it is but you can't beat being on the beach with a live band.

Will def return.

My friend and I tried to get service for more than 20 min!!!! No one said anything to us. 4 bartenders passed us and just kept walking one was busy talking to some young girls at the bar and the other one just looked down every time we tried to make eye contact. We will never go back!

Somehow, after almost a dozen visits to AC, I've missed out on Bally's beach bar. It's right off the boardwalk with a great view of the beach. Fruity cocktails always taste good, but aren't they at their maximum flavor when you can see the waves at the same time?

We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was pretty packed! My bf said it best in his review, "Most of the crowd (and it was a little packed) consisted of typical fist-pumping bros, young ladies traveling in pairs, and middle aged couples who've seen the inside of a plastic surgeon's office." There was no cover, but I'm guessing there would be one on a weekend evening.

The drinks were reasonably priced for a beach bar in AC. We only ordered one round of the yard drinks that you'll notice many bros and bikini girls carrying around. They were only $13 dollars and well worth it for the amount of alcohol inside. There was a surprisingly large menu of cocktails, with many categories and container sizes of boozy beverages. I vaguely recall a last page with a few food items, but who really cares. The bartenders were not friendly, but they made strong drinks so who really cares about that either.

We had a nice, relaxing time well spent with lots of Jersey Shore people watching. Will definitely be back for the ambience and beachy cocktails too.
