Fodor's Expert Review Ruby's

Patrons from around the world have been drinking at this boardwalk mainstay since much-beloved local boy Ruby Jacobs opened it in 1972. The bar, tables, wainscoting, and ceiling are made from the original 1920s boardwalk wood. Grab a seat and watch the action on the boardwalk, or join the regulars at the 45-foot-long bar and peruse the photographs depicting the neighborhood and the bar's habitués. The jukebox has a great selection of classics.
