Bally's Beach Bar

Great location! We went on a Saturday for sunset drinks, it was very empty could use better signage on the boardwalk. The DJ was great and then they switched to a band who was terrible. We left because of the music, we would have stayed longer if they kept the DJ or had a better band.

Decent happy hour. But not happy when we went there friday about 7pm was told there was a $5 cover because there was a band starting at 8pm. Just wanted a drink and would have been gone before the band started. Plus, there are bands playing all over the city for free. Why nickel and dime people to death. Screw them. We left. Won't go back. It's not the money, it's the fact that places usually don't charge fees for a cover band in AC. So we went to Hard Rock and spent our money there, where they have great bands, and never a cover charge. Some managers are stupid.

Not one to complain because I work in hospitality so I understand how things go but my mom and I came here and paid a $10 cover each to get no service. It took 20 minutes for our waitress to come over and bring us 1 menu and then didn’t come back over at all. We waited and waited, mind you most of the umbrellas are broken. Would have been nice if she actually treated us like customers rather than just handing us a menu and saying I’ll be back. Didn’t even ask if we wanted water or drinks. Will not ever return.

It was my first time coming here and it was a great first experience! First of all their umbrella/chair set is a great price! Compared to the other beach furniture rentals , you can’t beat it! The staff is very friendly! We had “Sherry” as our bartender! She was amazing ! Very sweet and attentive! Drinks and food were amazing ! Didn’t take long to get served food or drinks ! Definitely a great place to go for the day!

Awesome Beach Bar, probably if not the best on the boardwalk. Good music, awesome drinks with real liquornot bottom shelf no name garbage, great music, and good vibes. It was so good we came here twice out of our 4 days in AC.

Come on Ballys, great spot but spend some money and get some new umbrella that work and aren’t beat up and broken..

Just look at the 1 star reviews and you will have your answer! This place used to be good but has sunk to a new low because of the staff. The security acted like neo nazi youth. Smiling the whole time while they stopped us at the entrance bc we had 1 beach bag and 2 camping chairs which were in their cases. It's a beach bar people will be coming from the beach! What happened next was insane. Btw I said I walked from the trop .9m to get there but still no admittance unless I wanted to leave all my stuff on the beach which they said they were not responsible for. Nope. I went around onto the beach area and found a rusty table and chairs area and left my husband there with the stuff went in to order drinks came out and the security moved him back to the entrance stating that the area we chose to sit in was vip! I went back over there with my drinks as security was still hassling me! This was triggering and I began to ask them questions like if they were part of ICE and critizied their choice for president recounting all the crappy things he's doing with healthcare for the poor, saying that this is a free beach and people come here because they are poor cant afford to pay for badges! Then I moved further out onto the beach area and said first of all I purchased drinks. Second of all that area doesnt look like vip with rusty tables...and if i was a vip i would not want to sit there...I moved outside the area that was roped off with my husband and set up my camping chairs so that we could sit and drink the beverages that I had just purchased from this godforsaken place and FYI this is a public beach! I said do you have a problem with me sitting here? Silence. A few minutes later 3 staff came and removed all the chairs snd rusty tables from the area and said FYI if vips came to sit there that they would have a problem with me sitting on that part of the public beach! But that he did not want to argue with me... What? This is not over... I was on the phone with food and bev office to recount this incident. No one should be treated like this.

Really disappointed in this location; if you guys are about to close, please just let your patrons know and we will leave. Not stay for 5 minutes & to be berated by your “security.” I literally came here with a friend or two of mine and we bought a small (drink) cup that was worth $20 just for them to kick us out of the place. The security guard was hounding on me and acting like a jerk even though I was walking out of the place; he continued to be a loudmouth and was telling me to take it up with management. You guys need to manage your employees better and have someone let us know before we waste our money and our time coming all the way down here. It’s late at night. Why would I wanna walk around with a cup in my hand on the boardwalk when I could literally just get something like that at my hotel. I wanted to enjoy the night air, the beach & some GD lights not be rushed & barked at by an ‘employee.’ I was thinking about staying at this location in the summertime but now I’m definitely not doing it because of how I was treated just at this beach bar. Rushy employees and high priced drinks; no thanks.
