Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall

Came on over to enjoy a great beer. I had walked here from about 10 blocks away and just want to give fair warning that there is a slim window of safety in this neighborhood. So stay close to the boardwalk. Now on to the food. I had a fiddlehead beer which was nice. Ordered the fruits di Mar plate with white wine garlic sauce. It was a bit heavy on the mussels and about half were sandy. Quite a few broken shell pieces in the noodles. Noodles were perfectly cooked and I drank down all the delicious sauce at the end. At the end I got the boot and fruit bucket drink to take next door to the cigar bar. It has about 4 shots of whiskey in it. It was yummy. Bartender was a cool guy.

We finally confirmed what everyone has said about the place! It awesome! The food was great and the service as well! We tried a variety of their appetizers as well some of the entrées. Nothing disappointed! The Mussels were great, and you have to try their Prime Rib Cheesesteaks! My wife and sister-in-law loved the Crab Cake Sliders! When they brought out the orders, everything was hot. It doesn't sit cooling off in the back because they didn't bring it out in a timely manner! (That's a pet peeve of mine!) They don't offer desserts because they recommend going next door at "Bar 32". They specialized in chocolate infused everything from drinks to desserts! It was a great dinner made especially nice because of the service! They were very attentive throughout it all! Check it out! It won't disappoint!

Great atmosphere, excellent beer selection, and tasty food! A special shout-out to Kristina, who is not only incredibly friendly but truly works wonders with her recommendations! Every suggestion was spot on. If you’re into craft beer and a relaxed vibe, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Really cool place to hang out in AC. Tons of beers on tap and pretty good food. The backyard is awesome.

We were in search of good burgers at a new spot. Started a google search and Tennessee Ave Beer Hall was already high on the list. Their menu has a variety or burger choices unlike some of the other suggested restaurants. We decided to check it out, it’s less than a block off the boardwalk I knew it looked familiar because I used to pass this place on my bike all the time. I knew from their outdoor beer garden style seating area which looks like a great place to hang with friends during the summer. They still had happy hour going on when we got there and I was surprised because it was past 6 and most places only have a short happy hour so that was nice. The burgers we ordered were perfectly cooked and went great with a side of crispy tots. Then to our surprise they had Karaoke Night on a Tuesday! For someone who works weekends this is a fun find. If you haven’t done karaoke in forever like I have or you’re a regular, I definitely recommend coming out on a Tuesday night for it. You could probably convince whoever you’re with to do it too like I did. Overall, our first experience at Tennessee Ave Beer Hall was deliciously fun and we will be back!

Place is awesome, new look, new vibe, amazing food! Twice a day HH, great beer list, fabulous cocktails and delicious wine on tap!

Mouthwatering burgers! I haven’t had a burger this good in a while! The tots were great too, not greasy at all. Lots of options on the beer list to choose from. We stopped here before a concert and left happily satisfied. Quality food. Solid service. I would go back again. Didn’t realize there is outside seating too.

I didn’t try the food, so I can’t speak to that—but the beer selection and staff were top-notch! I was welcomed with a warm smile and friendly greeting, which set the tone right away. The bartender was fantastic, helping me choose a delicious beer that hit the spot. As a cicerone (look it up!), I really appreciate a good beer served at the right temperature—and on a 100-degree day, they nailed it. If you’re a beer lover looking for a friendly spot with great pours, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Great menu options - we like the mac and cheese snack, lobster tater tots, cheesesteak, beer hall melt burger, and the cinnamon sugar pretzel. Bartenders are friendly and work very fast when it's busy. Waiters are also super attentive and check on you regularly. The seating is all outdoors. There are lawn games and lounge chairs for groups to enjoy.

Hands down the perfect spot to ease into or close out an an Atlantic City! When I first learned that my hotel was going to be on the same block as here I instantly bookmarked it to trybased on the legit reviews and excellent sounding rotating draft list. Upon first arrival I was a bit confused when I entered from the beer garden area and couldn't figure out where to grab a beer and order food. But I was mad since it led to me exploring their murals that I instantly became enamored by, and as soon as I realized there was an indoors I instantly became in awe of even more works of art, all kinds of table seating for groups of all sizes, and epic service! Being so close to the boardwalk had me craving seafood, and the boardwalk clam chowder and lobster tater tots did not dissappoint. the chowder was an New England style packed with chopped clams, appplewood bacon, and all kinds of flavor. With bacon and lobster bisque being a part of the tots it might have been too much soup & bacon, but with an ample amount of Maine lobster added in I was loving every moment of it! The beer list rotates on the regular, and since I was there for AC Beerfest weekend it had all kind of aged specials kegs, drafts from local breweries, and so much more. But it was easy to track and follow the 40+ drafts since it was perfectly mapped out by beer style. And the bar also had plenty of cocktails and other offerings fro the non-beer drinkers. Toss in plenty of live music nights, comedy showcases, quizzo nights, and more, and there's plenty of reasons to come here that go beyond great beers and damn good food!

Whaaaat!? Who knew this spot was here? Disclaimer: I was occupied with kids and friends, so I didn't take any pictures, sorry. GREAT little hidden gem. Spectacular menu and beer selection. Cool vibe inside and out; some old school pinball games and Mortal Kombat! Cornhole out back. Kids loved it and made it easy to wait for our food. We had the Fry Board - good sharing starter with 4 different sauces. Ranking them 1- Onion dip, 2- chili, 3- Avocado, 4- extra cheese (would have liked a spicy aioli instead). Great to share. Wings were also a starter, got them dry (for the kids) with a side of hot and blue cheese. Very solid wings and sauce. I got the Korean chicken sandwich, and I would get it again. If you like kimchi, it's awesome. I asked for a side of extra sauce, well worth it. Wife had the chicken with peppers and pimento and loved it. Kids split a burger and liked it a lot. I will definitely make a stop here again for a lunch/dinner, or even just some beers and you should too. Check them out, Enjoy!

Ambiance (5/5): Such a cool spot to hangout or dine! The outdoor area is large and there's live music. The inside is a little more dark and eclectic with seating around the bar. Pinball machines inside as well. Service (5/5): We had no issues with the friendly and quick staff. Food: Lobster loaded tots (4/5): A good amount of lobster chunks to pick at. Underneath is a bed of crispy tater tots. Bacon mac n cheese (4/5): Super creamy but a little on the bland side. Pretzel (5/5): The dough is very soft and complemented the sauces of mustard and cheese. Chicken wings (soy glazed) (3/5): Although the wing sauce was pretty decent, the wings were way too overcooked that they were dry and difficult to eat. Onion Believable Burger (3/5): The burger was juicy but the deep fried onions were soggy and a dry bun. I loved the gruyere cheese. The side of salad was awful--romaine lettuce with some crotons and hardly any dressing and no other vegetables. Happy hour $5 menu Monday to Friday 3 to 6 pm! $5 on select beer and wine and assortment of foods. 2 for $12 lunch specials too! Also Monday to Friday 11:30-3pm.

Got a really creepy vibe coming in here. Kinda dingy...no music.... just people sitting around looking at us like we didn't belong... no one came over to our table so we ended up just leaving. I can't speak for the food unfortunately but didn't seem like a place I cared to spend time in.

Went here the other night for some late dinner. Got the philly standard beer and the kentucky ave chicken sandwich. It was delicious and the house made chips were great. Definitely a cool spot, probably better in the summer time. The service was good too!

first time here, on Wednesday they're Happy Hour is all day! That was great news to discover for a late night nosh. we enjoyed delicious beer, and amazing hotdog, the chicken tacos, and the burger. All were delicious. The buffalo cauliflower was good, but it was too rich to finish. They don't give you a dipping sauce. And everything else was fantastic and we will definitely be back.

On a visit to my happy place Atlantic City and wanted to try something different besides casino and boardwalk eats . I was down by the Tropicana and decided to take the jitney to Tennessee Avenue to try out the beer hall . As I entered the smell was inviting small place and a nice vibe . I sat myself server came over and he was very nice and he was assisted by a young lady also nice . I ordered an OctoberFest Sam Adams and the ribs with fries and Cole slaw . Ok so first thing the beer it wasn't really cold yeah it was kind of cold but not draft beer in a beer hall cold . I added ice from my water using my fork . (Yes I know crafty) . So about ten minutes later the ribs came . First thing I did was try the Cole slaw not bad not great than of course a fry it was hot and crispy and seemed to be frozen fries nothing spectacular. As far as the ribs they were soft but maybe too soft kind of squishy in consistency and a far amount of fat . Also the bbq sauce didn't add much to the dish . When they fall off the bone that easy it's actually not a good thing like people think they should be soft but alsp leave a slight bite mark on the meat . I didn't hate the place as the vibe and the service was good and the prices were fair but the food just didn't deliver for me . I would give it another try perhaps with another dish .

Love coming here at any time of the day. For a nice cold beer or for a cocktail and snack at night. There's always something going on with live music either inside or in the patio. Lots of space on the outside that allows for some enjoyable time during fair weather. Recommend their hot dogs and chili. There's a great selection of drinks. Staff is always fun to talk to and very friendly.

I've read about this place and finally decided to give it a try. Walked to it from the Hard Rock. It was a little bit more down Tennessee Avenue than I expected. When we walked in we were surprised by how small the place was, I envisioned it bigger. It looks like they have a nice outdoor area for the summer. Didn't have any food and didn't see anyone having anything. I had the spiced mojito which was unique and good. Place was fine, we tried it and don't think we will go back. Nothing special.

Great food and outdoor atmosphere, Bon fire pit and all! Great service and draft selection. Get the tots!!!!

This is more of a bar than a restaurant (like the name says, it's a beer hall ) but they do have food. I went for the Happy Hour which goes from 3 to 8 I believe. They have HH bites for $5 which is a good deal . I got the Shrimp Sliders - these were the best thing I had and definitely try those. The shrimp were nice and crispy but it's easier to eat if you take out the tomato . Also had the guacamole, which I would skip next time. They should really just serve a smoky salsa with the chips , which were crisp. For main course I had the Crab Cake bowl which was pretty light and tasty.My friend had a grilled chicken which he said had good flavor. The drinks are big and imaginative but we only had one each because we weren't staying. My friend liked his Tennessee Blues drink ,and it was teal colored. Staff are nice . But again this has more of a bar vibe , a bar that serves food. It's on Tennessee Avenue right up the street from the Boardwalk.

Wow, the food here was absolutely amazing. Came during Labor day weekend and enjoyed the nice evening breeze with some good beer and outstanding food. The loaded tots were so good that we almost ordered more, but the brisket and the lobster that came with the tots were perfect accompaniments. The chicken sandwich with kimchi slaw was surprisingly great together. I was afraid the Kimchi was going to be too sour, but I was wrong. Give this place a try if you're in the area!

We had a wonderful lunch here. We each had one of their " 2 for $12 lunch special" . The clam Chowder was hearty and flavorful. The bowl of Chilli was perfected spiced and satisfying. the Fish Taco has large fish filet of Mahi Machi that was juicy and well seasoned. The Grill chicken slider were also yummy. The service was very friendly and fast. We will def Return!!!

Good spot kind of hard to find the entrance to from the street. You go in the backyard and I didn't know if we were to see yourself or where the menus were but eventually We got served. We enjoyed the pretzel which was really good and the mussels as an appetizer. I should have tried the chicken sandwich but instead I got the onion burger which was big and greasy. The fries weren't good. The tots were great. The house made chips a barbecue flavored but they don't tell you that on the menu. This was a good spot to eat at and we enjoyed the selection of beers which were very fairly priced. I wasn't wowed by this place but it was all good! The pretzel was a knockout item and I suggest anyone who goes to this place orders the pretzel

Our second time here; food was disappointing. It was late afternoon, no crowd, no excuse for such tepid, lackluster fries, chips, sandwiches. The first time here the food was hot, fresh, fabulous. I guess it's true that you can't go back :( We won't be returning.

Service: I've been to Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall. Food: I tried their Kentucky Avenue Chicken Sandwich and it was great! It offered an interesting twist on a traditional chicken sandwich. The kimchi slaw and sweet chili aioli offered a tangy and savory taste to the sandwich. The fries were really well seasoned too! The service: is contingent upon how busy it is. As to be expected, I visited during St. Patrick's Day weekend and it was insane. The service was slow; however, I've visited on a regular Saturday night before and had great service! The bartenders were quick and informed. Parking: TABH doesn't have a parking lot but street parking is available. Parking is available across the street as well and the boardwalks within walking distance. For those who aren't local, be mindful when you're walking around at night in Atlantic City, you need to be careful! As always, I'm excited for ya! -A

Food & service were good, but the cost of the comedy show was too high, particularly due to the original reason we bought tickets being canceled

We heard a bunch of good things about TABH so we must have picked a bad day. Seemed the kitchen was a bit off. House specials and a few other items on the menu were not available or slow to get out Potato chips were so good we ordered the fries and were very disappointed. We will definitely give it another shot because of the reputation.

Absolutely great when it comes to craft beer selection and flights. I am not sure if it was my selections or if they focus on quality, but I was very pleased with the outcome and, of course, the Untappd integration is wonderful. The place itself has a good vibe to it and there is a pretty significant outdoor space as well which you wouldn't realize to be true with its side street location. Speaking of the location, it is less than one block off the boardwalk, so that is about as friendly as you are going to get in AC. My only ding on my lunch visit was the food. I went light and though the hot dog was actually great, the guacamole and chips was close to awful. Probably not the best place to expect high quality on that end, but either not have it or do it right.

Nice vibe outside in October with the fire pit, space heaters, and live band. John the bar tender was really nice and the food we had was good. Angry cauliflower, fish tacos and crab cakes were all fresh. We'd come back again for sure!

The Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was so good !! Best Mac and cheese I've had in too long. Alex (the bartender) was super helpful in my beer selection and very friendly. Great vibe. I'll definitely be back !!!!

Good bar place for food! The lobster tater tots and soy wings were great for starters. The onion burger as well as the chicken sandwich were great entrees and will fill you up! The waiters there are very nice and provide good service throughout your visit. A must-try when in Atlantic City!

My wife started with the Tennessee Blues drink. It was delicious and a great beach drink. I had the crispy fish sandwich. It was a tempura battered cod with BLT. It was great.

The onion believable burger was good. Good food overall, but nothing insane or necessary for a return visit the next time you get to Atlantic City. Very friendly service and bartender. The onion believable burger is very filling. I didn't need to eat for 24 hours. I didn't love that it was just two cheese Patties and bread. No lettuce or tomato.

The restaurant had a nice Gastro pub atmosphere with plentiful beer selections as one would hope from the name. Unfortunately the Fish Tacos weren't very tasty. I tried getting some pico for added flavor but still a no go. One server was not very friendly but the bartender checked on us and eager to please. Overall, I was pretty disappointed.

Nice place for craft beers and beer flights. Located a block off of the Atlantic City boardwalk on Tennessee ave. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean both outside and inside bar area and bathrooms. They serve food and have a pretty large menu but we did not eat during our visit. We had craft beers - my fiancé enjoyed getting different beers that we cannot find in Florida. I am currently sober and the bartender made me one of their cocktail drinks as non alcoholic. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Lots of umbrellas to sit under outside to stay out of the heat of the sun. The outdoor bar area is covered and has TVs!

Came here while in AC for the weekend. Great pub with ample parking across the street awesome outside decorations, it's like your in a live monopoly game. We started with margaritas and beer both were good just wish the margaritas were a bit bigger. The lobster rolls were phenomenal!! Fish and chips so fresh it's like they just caught the fish right out of the ocean and cooked it. The crispy phish sandwich was perfect never had such a good fish sandwich. Our waitress Teddy was great! If in the mood for a laid back environment with rocking pub food come here!!!

The outdoor space is super cute. Love the outdoor fire pit sitting area. There was live music when we got there which is super cute but they finished up early so didn't get to enjoy. The customer service was great. The food was really solid bar food. A great variety of drinks and beers on tap. We got the pretzel which was great, the wings were delish, the chili was yummy, and the burger was the star of the show. Also really affordable. Glad I found this spot. Worth a recommendation and will definitely be back!

Cut through Cardinal's shuffleboard court and Cornhole yard and made it across Tennessee Ave to the Beer Hall and was just in time to deliver the punch line. "Hey Foo!" said Eric the bartender. "Eric, my man, what's new homes?" "New brews, new cocktail menu." "Here's a question for you, can I drink a growler at the bar and get a cheapo refill on it and then grab a glass and just go to town?" "Foo, you're a good guy and a good customer but you're not going to drink growlers and then grab cheapo refills and get all hammered." "But, it's a good idea." "Yeah, but no, so what'll it be?" "Okay, PBR and a patty melt." "Coming right up, Foo!" And then I leaned back on my barstool and looked around. The garden was full. The tables were buzzing and the lights dimmed giving the Tennessee Ave Beer Hall a soft glow of golden hue. The restaurant was just terrific. "Hey Foo," said one of the fantastic tank topped waitresses and/or bartenders, "Why did the chicken cross the Tennessee Ave?" "To get made into an award winning sammie to eat with my refilled Growler!"

First time I came last year, the live music was awesome, with quick service and good vibes, lovely hot dogs and sandwiches. This time, with only two or three tables, the waitress didn't seem to know many details about the menu and they forgot the bacon in our bacon wrapped hotdog. Also ran out of fish on a Saturday so two of the menu items were unavailable when we ordered them. But tasty otherwise. Also made it seem like it came with french fries or tots, but they were added on the receipt so that was a miscommunication on both sides.

The ambiance of this place is unparalleled! Great live music and a huge selection of beer. Service was good. The place was packed so it did take a bit... I do have to say I was a little let down with the food. But for food and vibes- this is a solid joint!

This is yet another hidden gem in Atlantic City. 40 beers on tap, many from local breweries. Don't fear, you can find your favorite commercial beers here too. Don't sleep on the food! Meatloaf and Mac and cheese is a favorite. Our crowd also had the Kentucky Avenue Chicken Sandwich, fish and chips and the crab cake sliders. We were very happy with our selections. Our bartender made great suggestions. We recommend.

Ask any local where the best casual spots are to grab a drink or a bite to eat and the answer will always be the same: away from the casinos and away from the boardwalk. Looking for dinner and a good beer after checking in at Bally's, I walked up beach to Tennessee Ave and landed at the Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall: a fittingly simple name for a bar and beer garden where the beer menu is huge and the pretention is zero. With about two dozen beers on tap and another two dozen or so by bottle, this low-key place is a brew geek's paradise. I went with a draught of Platform 'Blue Martian' (a strong, aggressively fruity sour) with an order of Phish Tacos (grilled mahi, smashed avocado, slaw, jalapeno crema). The tacos hit the spot and the house made chips (coated with a dry rub) were a fine side. Definitely worth a repeat visit

I had a beer flight and just asked the waiter to pick the top favorites. He selected well. A couple IPA a stout and a pale ale. He also brought a milkshake type stout that was great. Food was average. Nothing outstanding. But the waiter Scott was great when asked to recommend other places to try in the AC.

Nice clean pub with good food and good service. We played trivia and ended up staying much longer than planned. The crowd was very friendly and the atmosphere was fun. Lots of beers to choose from, too. I'll go back when I'm in town.

Must try pulled pork and greens! Lobster tots and guacamole was fabulous! Outstanding service, food, cocktails, and atmosphere! We'll be back and would give 10 stars if we could!

We came here to drink. Good live music. The beer is cold. We ordered a hurricane drink and they accidentally put smoked pineapple in it. Super weird. But after the 2nd request they made it over. Although with more juice than alcohol so that was a bummer. Place has a cute vibe so I'd go back to try the food, drink more, and listen to music.

I was in NJ for the NAACP conference and this was the best food I had all weekend. They are not vegetarian friendly. They had about 2 salads without meat and a veggie burger. Initially ordered the watermelon salad, but they didn't the contents of the salad so I ended up getting veggie burger. I ordered extra of the homemade pickles as well. The art on the walls is sooo good

An absolute GEM off the boardwalk. Excellent beer selection, mostly local breweries. (I think they all may be NJ based!) Knowledgeable staff. Great food. Nice atmosphere - fire pit and lots of outdoor seating.

Cute Atlantic City bar with a great outdoor seating area. With both a fire pit and heated tent, this was an awesome find. Lots of different beers and delicious appetizers. My favorites were the tater tots and the pretzel. Very kind and attentive staff.

No doubt about it, terrific food. Huge burgers that left amazing lasting flavor in my mouth. I always judge a burger by its bun and it was a great bun. We got the soy wings, hell in a bucket, and the onion believable. Everything was great all the way around. Also, the chips are where it's at. Great seasoning. Very quiet on weekday off season, but we expected that. We don't have a single complaint and I imagine we will be back next year. Highly recommend.

I really like this place since discovering it last summer. The outdoor patio/beer garden is a great place to spend a Spring/Summer/Fall afternoon. I believe they may have live music as well but not positive. They have a ton of beer options, something for everyone. And one plus for the non beer drinkers in your group - they have a full bar along with seltzers. When we stopped in last time it was the a Monday in the dead of winter and they were making smoked gin drinks that looked and smelled really good. When I was here in the summer they had legit bbq on site which was cool. It's a great spot for the beer drinkers for sure!

Warm and inviting with a rock-solid menu. During my last trip to AC, I totally dropped the ball when scouting out restaurants. I've been developing a bit of a gambling addiction, so my focus was solely on the casinos. Food? Haha, no problem. I'll just use my winnings on the $50 buffet and eat 10 lbs. of crab legs. So yeah, I ended up losing my entire bankroll that I had allocated for the weekend in the first hour or so. I discovered online blackjack and literally lost about $300 while taking a dump in the hotel bathroom within 10 minutes of checking in. Damn. This was going to be a long, miserable weekend. The next day, it was all about sports betting. I scrounged up some cash and placed it on Western Carolina vs. Alabama. The spread was like 58.5 points. All Western Carolina had to do was not lose by 59 points. This game was a blood bath. I think Western Carolina was down 50 at the half. The final score was Alabama 66, Western Carolina 3. I was devastated. But you know what the silver lining was? I got to watch the game at Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall. The atmosphere was super relaxed. And still, there was still a certain electricity in the air. A plethora of TVs lined the walls, so sports fans were able to tune in to their games of choice. The staff was extremely accommodating and changed the channels basically on demand to so we could watch the games we wanted to. Yes, they even put on the Alabama BLOWOUT so I could watch in real time as my money dissipated into the void. The experience wouldn't have been complete without fantastic food. And the Beer Hall absolutely delivered. My lord, the burgers alone are worth the price of admission. Keep in mind this is a double patty establishment. Every burger comes with two custom-blend black Angus patties. Each patty is about 4 oz., so expect about half a pound of beef in addition to crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and biting onion. While the holy trinity in Cajun cuisine is onion, bell pepper, and celery, the holy trinity of burger toppings is lettuce, tomato, and onion. On their own, their flavor is merely ordinary, but together, they transcend their mortal, earthly forms and become something much greater. Something our pea-brained human minds can barely comprehend. Bottom line, I lost a disturbing amount of money in AC this fateful weekend. Like, if I were married, I would have had to sit down with my wife for a serious talk. I'm talking a brink-of-divorce conversation. But since I'm single and still living with people I met on Craigslist, I was able to just eat my losses and live to see another miserable day. Another miserably, fantastic day. God, I love life. And there's no better place to spend said life than Tennessee Ave. Beer Hall. For one afternoon, misery becomes happiness here. And that's all I could ever ask for.

Excellent happy hour and pre happy hour happy hour! The bartender Jackson was friendly, awesome and informative! 10/10

Their food is decent it's a pub food. I love their Atlantic City iced tea it's like iced tea but for adults only a lot of parking spots for free if you ate worried getting your car keyed lol I would visit again for sure

Good food at a good price. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the outdoor space has a great atmosphere with games and live music. Just the right spot while you are vacationing at the beach.

Great bar with great food. We ordered cocktails to start and both were delicious. Not sure if it's the area or lack of greeting when you walk in (You're sort of in limbo unsure if you should seat yourself, some of the staff were preoccupied with a video game or something) but this place should be more crowded for dinner on a Friday night. I'd still definitely return. They need to recognize the potential and change that ghost town ambiance.

I struggled between 3 and 4 because my waitress was a sweetheart and took care of me! The burger though, perfectly cooked but under seasoned. Isn't it the worse to have an under seasoned piece of meat? Other than that, I loved the atmosphere here. Sat outside but even walking inside it felt like a great vibe with the open doors and bar area close to the windows. Plenty of seats inside as well.
