Your Destination Guide to Atlantic City

Ri Ra Irish Pub at The Quarter inside The Tropicana in Atlantic City is the real deal as far as Irish Pubs go. One of eleven locations around the country, Ri Ra has made its name in the U.S. for staying true to authenticity when it comes to food, drink and atmosphere. Ri Ra has a lengthy history stemming all the way back to Ireland in the 1800's.

Ri Ra is ornately decorated with authentic oil-paintings, a hand-carved bar, and light fixtures, most of which are directly from Ireland.  Ri Ra even comes complete with bartenders straight from the Emerald Isles! Don't believe me? Go check it out for yourself, and tell them Ash Del says "Hi!"

It's the most popular spot in AC to watch all of the soccer games from around the world. They serve every variety of Guinness and Irish Whiskey imaginable. Ri Ra also offers some of the best food in The Tropicana if you ask me. Their lunch and dinner menu is extensive and carries legit Irish cuisine. The staff at Ri Ra is extremely professional and knowledgeable of the food and spirits, not to mention very friendly too!

On the weekends there is always a live band or a DJ. There is no dress code and a cover charge of only $5.

Fin is the newest edition to The Tropicana Hotel and Casino's vast array of restaurants and bars, and was an immediate hit when it opened its doors this past summer. It has received great reviews, due especially in part to the use of exceptionally fresh ingredients. The majority of the fish is caught by local New Jersey fishermen, and the vegetables are grown at local farms. Even the wine comes from local vineyards. You can't get much fresher than that, not to mention that most of the items on the menu are created by the head chef himself, and change seasonally to ensure taste. Read More >

Providence nightclub inside The Quarter at The Tropicana opened it's doors in 2007, and has been partying hard ever since. Providence is one of my all time favorite places to go dance in AC, partly because it is inside The Quarter which is just plain convenient when it comes to fun, and because it's always up to date on the hottest music, events, and celebrity guests. Providence is staffed by a young ambitious team who work hand in hand with their New York partners to make sure that Providence is always ahead of the rest when it comes to nightlife, and always a reflection of the infamous Providence NYC.

Black Collar Promotions brings Definition Saturdays to Casbah Nightclub at the Taj Mahal Atlantic City. The Casbah is Atlantic City's first and pretty much only "mega-club" experience, and has been partying with AC for the past 10 years! Read More >

Club Worship at The Showboat Casino in Atlantic City is the home of Variety Fridays, hosted by Black Collar Promotions. Club Worship is a unique fusion of a nightclub and an ultra-luxe lounge. The club has three-levels of high energy fun, featuring distinct music on each floor. The large main dance floor, or as they refer to it, The Devil's Playground, is the utmost dance experience. The second floor, playfully called Purgatory, is a more casual lounge area, where you can mingle and relax a bit after all the dancing, the third floor, titled The Garden of Eden is where the VIP bottle service seating is. It's not a bad place to be either, overlooking the entire dance floor while being served by the professionally trained VIP staff and beautiful bottle servers. Read More >

The Trump Taj Mahal has been home to the Casbah Nightclub for the past decade. That's a whole decade of loud music, beautiful dancers, and non-stop partying. In the world of nightlife where most clubs or bars are hot for what seems like a millisecond, the Casbah has outlived and outdone itself over and over again. Being named a premier destination twice by Nightclub & Bar Magazine out of only 35 destinations in the nation isn't the only thing that keeps the heart of the Casbah pumping to the beat, it's the fact that the Casbah has stayed true to what many other short-lived clubs seem to forget: as long as you've got a great space to dance, a killer light system and amazing music, you don't need trendy chairs, celebrity appearances (even though A-list celebs and sports stars are notoriously partying at the Casbah on any given night) or ridiculously expensive drinks to have a great time.

GodSpeed Thursdays at The Foundation Room inside The Showboat Atlantic City first hit the nightlife scene in October 2009, and has been partying strong ever since. Almost a year later, GodSpeed Thursdays are still a staple of the weeknight party scene in AC. GodSpeed Thursdays originated at the Las Vegas Foundation Room inside Mandalay Bay, which has been a long running sensation for the casino. Up until a year ago, The Foundation Room was a members only club, but after they opened to the public, they received much more mainstream popularity. Read More >
