Sum Place Else

A Hidden Gem in Waterford Works

If you’re cruising down Route 30 and looking for a spot that feels like a true neighborhood sanctuary, you’ve found it at Sum Place Else. Tucked away in Waterford Works, this venue is the definition of a “local favorite” where the atmosphere is warm, the beer is ice-cold, and the food far exceeds your typical “pub grub” expectations. It’s the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name and the regulars treat you like family the moment you pull up a stool.

Features & Ambiance

The first thing you’ll notice about Sum Place Else is its unpretentious, welcoming vibe. It strikes a perfect balance between a reliable Sports Bar and a cozy Neighborhood Restaurant.

• The Food: Enthusiasts rave about their kitchen—specifically the Prime Rib, which has gained a legendary reputation in South Jersey. Their wings are crispy, the burgers are juicy, and the daily specials consistently offer great value without sacrificing quality.

• Entertainment: Whether you’re looking to catch the Eagles game on one of their many HD screens or want to test your knowledge during a lively Quizzo/Trivia night, there is always something happening. They also frequently host Live Acoustic Music and local bands, making it a prime spot for weekend entertainment.

• Outdoor Space: During the warmer months, their outdoor seating area provides a relaxed setting to enjoy a bucket of domestic beers or a signature cocktail under the Jersey sky.
