Play corn hole while you sip well one of the well over 35 IPA's, or enjoy a fun gastro pub delight. Their food is great pub fare but "with a twist".
The best feature is its outside with firepits & only a block to the boardwalk.

Right up Massachusetts Avenue sitting on the water overlooking Golden Nugget....an original, hidden gem. Great lawn games, eclectic menu full of bowls & good drinks. Kitchen isn't the fastest but it's worth the view.
As you walk there, you'll pass 2 old cedarsided homes on the right. Both of those were famous "rumrunner" establishments and secret bars during Prohibition. There's a framed photo of them at this house just inside our door.

We live on the edge of Garners Basin near the clamdocks. The Truitt family owns them as one of the largest east coast haulers of clams selling under contract to Campbell's Soup, Doxsees, etc. THIS is where they're harvested.
Our neighborhood is the best and most residential in AC.
