Di Orio’s Bar & Grill: A Somers Point Shore Tradition

If you’re looking for a piece of authentic South Jersey shore history blended perfectly with modern sports bar energy, look no further than Di Orio’s Bar & Grill in Somers Point. Established back in 1951 by Joe and Shirley DiOrio, this cherished hometown spot has been serving up “great food, no compromises” for over 70 years, evolving from the original DiOrio’s Circle Cafe into the beloved, family-oriented, and sports-loving institution it is today. Di Orio’s is an essential stop, not just for locals but for anyone heading over the bridge from Ocean City. It’s also an honorary member of Somers Point’s famous “Beer-muda Triangle,” cementing its status in shore nightlife lore.

The vibe here is classic, casual tavern—a true neighborhood pub where comfort is key. Pull up a stool, check out the game on one of the multiple TV screens, and grab a drink from their selection, which includes popular local craft beers alongside domestic favorites. You might even catch a Tuesday night for their Tenders and Trivia special to test your smarts!
