Anglesea Pub

The Authentic Taste of Ireland on the North Wildwood Shore

For over a century, Anglesea Pub has stood as a beacon of genuine hospitality and old-world charm, making it a mandatory stop for any serious South Jersey bar enthusiast. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a living piece of North Wildwood history, steeped in Irish heritage and renowned for pouring one of the best pints of Guinness south of Philly.

History & Atmosphere

Stepping into Anglesea Pub is like crossing the threshold of time. The building itself is a historic landmark, first opening its doors back in 1885 as the Germantown Hotel—a welcoming haven for local fishermen. It was officially rechristened the Anglesea Pub in 1917. Today, it’s proudly owned by the McMullan family, whose Irish roots and tireless dedication ensure the atmosphere remains authentically warm, friendly, and community-focused. Owner Sean McMullan, who started his journey here as a janitor and eventually took ownership in 2020, embodies the pub’s commitment to “Irish hospitality,” ensuring every guest, whether a regular or a first-timer, feels like family.

Food & Drink Features

Anglesea Pub excels in delivering hearty, authentic Irish and American cuisine. The food menu is extensive, balancing classic pub favorites with traditional Irish fare. You absolutely must try:
