Sea Isle City Nightlife & Bars
Sea Isle City, one of the most popular tourist destinations at the Jersey Shore, not only offers a resort atmosphere with the beach, but also has a fantastic nightlife for everyone. If you are amongst the young and looking for excitement and great bands to dance the night away, or the older generation that enjoys music from the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s, you will be able to find something to enjoy.
The three main bars/clubs in Sea Isle are the Springfield Inn, located at 43rd Street and Pleasure Ave., The OceanDrive (aka The O.D.), on the corner of Landis Ave. and 40th Streets, and LaCosta, on the corner of JFK Blvd. and Landis Ave. All three have their own unique entertainment.
The Springfield Inn, with it’s outside bar called the Carousel, has a tropical theme and offers an ocean view while sipping your favorite drink and listening to a band play in the afternoon from 4:00PM until 8:00. Inside the party starts on weekends when they do a jam session from 4:00-8:00 where you will find a mixed age group listening to the music of the 50’s through 90’s. Many of the “Older generation” enjoy this jam session because of the timing and being able to have a great time and be home at a reasonable hour. The Springfield starts hopping with its nightly entertainment at about 9:00pm, but the place usually gets packed with the young and beautiful around 11:00pm when everyone starts his or her night. Various bands play throughout the summer and this bar is one that is a must to see.
The O.D. is a happening place in Sea Isle with its “No Shower Happy Hour”, which invites everyone to come from the beach to the bar. Many jam sessions during the week offers special priced happy hour on favorite beers and mixed drinks. Bands play a variety of music earlier in the evening, which again will bring out the young at heart. The Ocean Drive starts hopping in the later hours with bands and drink specials that bring out everyone.
LaCosta, over the past years decided to take an outdoor pool and fill it in to make a tropical outside bar, which has paid off tremendously. Early evening you will find different bands playing while locals and visitors from near and far enjoy the cool evening breeze, while listening to their favorite tunes by bands from around the area. Special prices on drinks allow those who want an early evening of entertainment to sit back relax and enjoy. On weekends and during the week, many bands will entertain the youth of the town with classic songs everyone can get into, while LaCosta has drink specials to entice all.
Other bars for nightlife in Sea Isle include Kixx McNaulty’s, located at 63rd Street in Sea Isle who also has happy hour prices and live entertainment, Shenanigans, O’Donnell’s Pour House, The Dead Dog Saloon, Braca’s, and The Lobster Loft. With so many to choose from, you will never have to leave Sea Isle City for your entertainment needs!
