Hangtime Bar And Grill

If you are looking for a place where “everyone knows your name” but with a significantly better menu than your average neighborhood watering hole, Hangtime Bar and Grille on the White Horse Pike in Absecon is your spot. This is the definition of a local hidden gem—unpretentious, consistently friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s the kind of place you might drive past a hundred times, but once you stop in, you immediately wonder why you haven’t been coming here for years.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between a laid-back dive bar and a comfortable family restaurant. It’s not trying to be a high-end lounge; it’s trying to be your living room, but with cold beer on tap and a kitchen that stays open late. Whether you’re a local regular or a traveler heading to or from Atlantic City, you’ll find the vibe here to be refreshingly honest and relaxed.

Features & Highlights

Let’s talk about the food, because it punches well above its weight class. Hangtime is locally famous for its Wings, which many patrons argue are among the best in the area—crispy, saucy, and substantial. The menu is a tour of elevated pub comfort, featuring standout Burgers, crave-worthy Nachos, and specials that range from Prime Rib nights to homemade soups.

On the drink front, Hangtime keeps it solid and reliable. You won’t find a pretentiously long cocktail list, but you will find a well-stocked bar that pours a perfect pint and mixes a strong drink. They feature a good rotation of seasonal beers and domestic favorites on tap. It’s a great spot for sports fans, too, with plenty of TVs positioned so you can catch the Eagles or Phillies game from just about any seat in the house. The outdoor seating area is a nice bonus for warmer days, adding to that relaxed, backyard-party feel.
