Jester's Dive Bar

Brandi was incredible today at the bar! The recommendations for the firecracker shrimp and the brisket cheesesteak were absolutely spot on. She made the best martini! I am honestly sad I don’t live here because I would be back so often! Such a great establishment.

Best part of the meal was their cup of Joe! The homemade chips rocked, sloppy joe was excellent. Pulled pork was pretty good, maybe a bit more sauce, the burger was totally disappointing. They were small and black and cooked to oblivion. For the price it should have had a happy ending. The Server/waitess was excellent and hustled. Charming too. But wow, too expensive and not my recommendation.

We are locals and almost didn't try this spot because of the negative reviews... but I'm so glad we did. People, this is a BAR. It's going to be loud. There are sportsing games on a ton of TVs. Also loud. The bartop is HUGE and there are chairs ALL AROUND it. The bartender is SLAMMED, and that is a sign of a great bar. If the reviews about how loud it is, or how long it took to get a drink dissuade you from coming here, then you probably want a chill and quiet restaurant and not a sports bar. However, if you enjoy bars with great foods and apps, and some delicious BBQ, then ignore every review that talks about that and give this new, local spot a try. My teenager, who is a Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak connoisseur, said this one was in his top one of two in all of Cape May. My pre-teen LOV

Always excited to pop in to Jester's, but I was starving for this trip and so especially pleased to be there. We ordered a few apps - then Paige, our very helpful server, told us some were happy hour specials, and we were even more delighted. Loved the cup o' (sloppy) Joe, buffalo chicken dip, and perogies. 🍵 As always, and in all establishments owned by these owners, e.g. Surfing Pig, we felt like family in a place where your family takes great care to be creative and scrumptious. 🫂

This local place is great. Unique food and a fun, low key atmosphere. They have a cool rewards program and drink specials that add value. Fun trivia game on an app and lots of live music. Brisket Cheesesteak was amazing. Great salads and special cocktails. Tuesday trivia at 6pm was very fun. Old school paper and pencil game. Fun with a group. Would visit again. Highly recommend.
