South Jersey isn’t just a location, it’s a culture.
From the historic taverns of Gloucester County to the bustling sports bars of Cherry Hill and the hidden gems tucked away in the Pine Barrens, our local bar scene has a character all its own.
DrinkSJ.com was founded with one simple mission: to help you find the perfect bar, drinks, entertainers and events in South Jersey. We aren’t interested in the chain restaurants or the big-box eateries; we are bars only. Whether you’re looking for a dive with a legendary jukebox, a high-energy spot to catch the Eagles game, or a quiet corner for a craft beer, we’ve mapped it out for you.
What We Do
We provide a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate directory specifically for the South Jersey area. We know that when you’re looking for a “bar,” you’re looking for a specific kind of vibe—not a winery or a distillery (you can find those over at our sister site, NJDrinks.com)
- The Directory: A curated list of local bars, pubs, and taverns.
- South Jersey Bar Guide Podcast: Go behind the scenes with us as we talk shop, interview local owners, and dive deep into the local scene.
- Community Focused: We live here, we drink here, and we’re dedicated to supporting the local businesses that make South Jersey great.
What You Can Do
DrinkSJ.com is only as good as the community makes it. We’ve designed something that interactive between patrons, bar owners and entertainers.
- Bar Owners: You have the ability to claim and modify your page as you feel best represents your business. Adding a new bar or claiming an existing bar is free. If you want to stand out and put your bar or event on the front page, we have weekly ads at cheap rates.
- Entertainers: Like our bar owners, you can also add your profile to our site or claim one that was already created. Once you do that you can enter your entire schedule and link all of your South Jersey events to each bar so it shows up when someone browses that bar’s listing. This is also free!
- Patrons: You have access to our review system. Once you create an account, you can review every bar or entertainer on the site. Our review system isn’t just a 1 to 5 start rating. We rate, Parking, Atmosphere, The Beer, The Cocktails, The Food, The Service and event the bathrooms. Your ratings are what drives the front page listings.
Why DrinkSJ?
Because local matters. Our team has been on the South Jersey bar scene for decades. No one cares about the success of our bars and entertainers more than the people in this community.
We built this site to be the resource we would use to be the guide to the best bars, entertainers and events in the 856 and 609.
So, grab a seat, add us to your home screen, browse the guide, and we’ll see you at the bar.
Cheers, The DrinkSJ Team
