Visited on a weekday and very impressed with the place! For being right along the beach, you can not only get $2.50 Landsharks, but also a $5 appetizer basket (2 each of 3 different appetizers) anywhere in the bar (inside or out).
For a weekday they had good live "local known" music (Juliano Brothers) with no cover! You can't beat it! Like the other reviewers said, you won't find anything spectacular here. Grimy floors, leaky roof...hey there is a reason they keep the lights down low! Bar service was average and for two people spent $40 and had a decent time!
Almost a guilty pleasure. Its worth going to once or twice but that's about it. I'd say its the closet to a real club in the area. pretty much your standard bar and club. Lots of horny people, booze and music. Nothing really much more to say about it.
Bottom line; If you're in your 20's or 30's and single, this may be a place for you to find some "company".
I came here on a weekday afternoon for lunch so I may not be rating the same place that people experience when they come at night. Â The beers are absurdly overpriced considering it's this little place by the beach. Â There was a live band though, and I liked what they were playing. Â If I come back, I'll probably try a different place for lunch.
Review Source:How can you NOT like the Springfield? This is hands down the best bar in Sea Isle. The OD is fun, don't get me wrong, I love the OD too, but the Springfield is THE best place in SIC.
The dance floor is always fun, the place is big enough so you can breathe, and you can easily access any of the bars. I can't say all of those things apply to the OD.
The people here are also very entertaining. You'll see the La Costa girls all dressed up in their heels, the people who stayed at No Shower till midnight then ended up at the Springfield, cougars, locals, Brits, Irishmen, it's fun for everyone! I love this place!
A staple in Sea Isle, I find this place overpriced and full of people that take themselves too seriously. Â I guess when most people are willing to pay $5 for a macro bottle and a cover charge every time you step outside you can continue to implore these tactics. Â It is a pretty good people watching spot and the outside bar does go right up to the boardwalk so it can be fun every once in a while. Â Come and experience it yourself but don't do it everyday!
Review Source:I can't decide whether to give this place 1 or 5 stars, so I'm sticking with 3. Â Yeah, it really varies depending on when you go, and what part of the bar you are hitting, the crowd vibe and the staff.
The best part used to be the small outdoor area along the boardwalk. Â It's sandy, has a bunch of tables and chairs, and a standing height long table made from a polished surfboard. They typically have live acoustic music from like 4-8pm. Â There is one round outdoor bar, with 2 bartenders, to serve you, and the music volume is just right. Â Unfortunately, it's gone a bit downhill the last few years. Â There used to be an amazing duo on weekends that played the best tunes on their acoustic guitars (Jan and Jammer I think they were called). Those 2 stopped playing a few seasons ago, and the talent hasn't really been up to snuff since. Â Plus, they took away the tiki theme and the live palm trees. It's a bit dumpy without the minimal tropical accoutrements! The beer selection is pretty bad too. Still, it's a chill vibe and definitely worth checking out. Â Not a great place to meet people, but really good to hang out with your friends/family (yes, you'll even see little kids here). Â You can go straight from a day at the beach and not worry about what you are wearing or what you look like.
Inside.... well, it's kind of like going to the zoo.... lots to look at, just don't get too close. Â Sure, plenty of "normal" folks, but you also get the best of the NJ shore stereotype. Big hair, douchebags in brown flip flops and popped collars, gum-smacking mall chicks, cougars, sugar daddies, meat-heads, the "no-that's-really-not-a-tan-line on my ring finger 40somethings," you know, a little of everything. Â It's quite a scene and interesting people watching. Â Unfortunately, despite its cavernous size, it gets so damn crowded and unbearably loud that the fun wears off after a while. Â It's also REALLY cold inside. Â I know it's weird to complain about the cold during the summer, but it's FREEZING in some parts of the bar, especially if you are in shorts and a tee, and the crowd hasn't quite built up yet. Â They also have this alternating live band thing. Â When the band on stage goes off, the band (in the middle of the bar!!) starts to play. Â Sometimes they overlap and pick up where one band leaves off.... that's pretty cool. Â One of the bands I saw has 3 incredibly overweight guys that you think seriously might die right on stage. Â They are amazing and do a ton of Bruce and classic rock, but man, I really hope they have good cardiologists.
Not really sure who the Springfield is catering to, but based on the crowd, they must be doing something right.
I'll go again next year and update my rating.
Can we please have a Springfield in Manhattan? Please? Love the space, love the crowd, love the staff. Awesome and so much fun. They have a great outdoor space, and guarantee good times. Line outside moves pretty quickly but beware, the bouncer guy hates NY IDs for some reason, he mentioned something along the lines of them being too flimsy- such a hater! They also had a pretty good band playing for a bit while we were there. Would love to come back!
Review Source:This place is awesome, and by awesome I mean there are no sweaty OD meat heads that dance up on everyone and look for fights. Or underage teeny boppers that dont know how to behave in bars like La Costa or Shenanigans... The Carousel is legendary, nowhere else in Sea Isle can you (legally) watch the island run with some adult beverages, or even drink on the beach for that matter!!
