Like the name implies, this boardwalk-adjacent spot specializes in beer and beer-appropriate grub. A rotating tap plus a selection of bottled brews ranging from lagers and pale ales to stouts and sours promise to keep your thirst at bay.
Even if beer isn’t your thing, the American comfort cuisine covering lunch, dinner and weekend brunch is just as diverse.
Insider tip: Multiple TVs spread throughout the space makes it a great spot to watch sports. And, the pistacio crusted salmon burger is the most popular menu item.
