Bar Description
The Vibe
If you’re looking for a sleek, modern mixology bar, keep walking. This is the #1 Tavern, and it’s a pure, uncut slice of Wildwood history. Located on 1st and Atlantic, this is one of the oldest, most authentic, no-frills local bars on the island, run by the same owner, Mark Tully, for over 40 years. Itโs a “cash-only” establishment that’s all about the story, the locals, and the one-of-a-kind drink that put it on the map. You don’t come here for the scene; you come here for the tradition.
What It’s Known For
This tavern is legendary for one thing, and one thing only: it is the exclusive, one-and-only home of the World Famous Super Tully Nut. This isn’t just a drink; it’s a North Wildwood rite of passage.
Created by owner Mark Tully in the winter of 1968, the Super Tully Nut is a potent, secret 5-liquor concoction that’s so secret, the recipe is allegedly split between his two sons. It’s served in a cup with an umbrella, a cherry, and an orange slice, and itโs a drink that generations of families have come to experience.
Sips & Bites
Let’s be clear: you are here for the Super Tully Nut. That is the menu. While you can (and should) grab a cold beer or a simple well-drink, the main event is the Nut. Don’t ask what’s in it (they won’t tell you), just order it, sip it (slowly!), and earn your Wildwood stripes. This is not a craft cocktail bar; it’s a classic tavern that perfected its signature drink decades ago.
The Deets
This is an old-school spot. Don’t bother looking for an official website or an active Instagram feed; they’re too busy making history (and Tully Nuts).
- Social Media: This bar is famously offline. Its reputation is pure word-of-mouth, which is how you know it’s the real deal.
- Untappd: Yes! It exists as a check-in spot for beer lovers who are likely pre-gaming for (or recovering from) the main event.
Drink SJ’s Bottom Line
If you’re in the Wildwoods and you haven’t had a Super Tully Nut at the #1 Tavern, have you even been to the Wildwoods? It’s an iconic, must-visit institution that’s a refreshing, authentic break from the modern club scene. Go, pay with cash, and experience a true taste of Jersey Shore history.
