The Capns Corner

If you are a fan of that classic, high-energy neighborhood bar vibe where the staff treats you like family and the kitchen actually puts out phenomenal food, then The Cap’ns Corner in Woodbury is your next destination. Tucked away on South Evergreen Avenue, this spot has quickly become a local institution for those who want to ditch the corporate chains for something with genuine character and “super good vibes.”

Ambiance & Features

The Cap’ns Corner masterfully balances the energy of a lively social hub with the comfort of a local hangout. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find a diverse, mixed crowd—from the post-work happy hour crew to late-night music lovers. The venue is spacious enough to host your whole friend group, featuring a popular pool table, an outdoor seating area for those breezy Jersey nights, and even dedicated dart and poker leagues during the fall.

The bar is a standout, with bartenders who are famously hard-working and a selection that covers everything from ice-cold domestic bottles to local craft brews. On Friday and Saturday nights, the place truly comes alive as the “place to be” in Woodbury, often featuring live bands and stand-up comedy that keep the room buzzing until late.

The Culinary Scene

Don’t let the “local bar” tag fool you—the food here is serious. Enthusiasts frequently point to the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos as a mandatory order, but the entire menu is designed for “bang for your buck” satisfaction. Whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway or settling in for a long evening of appetizers and craft beers, the kitchen’s consistency and quality have earned it a loyal following.

History & Legacy

The Cap’ns Corner is part of a storied South Jersey restaurant family. It was opened by Barry Lukens, the man behind the legendary Cap’n Cats Clam Bar lineage. Barry, who learned the ropes under the mentorship of the original “Cap’n” (the late owner of Cap’n Cat Clam Bar in Franklinville), brought that same commitment to hard work and community to this Woodbury location. It remains a family-run operation, with Barry’s son, Max, often at the helm, ensuring the “Cap’n’s” legacy of quality seafood and welcoming hospitality lives on.
