Fried clams and knish were great. Friendly staff and efficient service , plus the boardwalk action and you can't go wrong.

NYC: The Official Guide

Hipsters , locals and freaks (from the sideshow ) gather. Everyone's welcome at this boardwalk bar , where beer is served in plastic cups and consumed on plastic chairs, and every hour is happy hour .

Grab a seat on the boardwalk and enjoy amazing people watching and cold beer . Or, pay tribute to this Coney institution and enjoy a cold beer inside with the friendly bartender .
