Sidelines

If you’re looking for that perfect “diamond in the rough” deep in the heart of South Jersey, Sidelines East is a mandatory stop. Located in Millmay, this venue is the definition of a hidden gem where the locals go to escape the fuss of the city. Originally known as the Millmay Tavern, the building has served as a community watering hole for decades before transitioning into the modern Sidelines East. It manages to retain that historic, rustic “country tavern” charm while delivering a top-tier sports and dining experience.

Features & Ambiance

The Ultimate Sports Vibe: The name says it all. Sidelines East is built for the fan. The walls are adorned with sports memorabilia, and the sightlines to their multiple HD screens are excellent from almost any stool in the house. Whether it’s a Sunday afternoon NFL slate or a mid-week Phillies game, the energy here is infectious, fueled by a crowd that takes their Philly sports seriously.

The Grub: Dining enthusiasts rave about the consistency of the kitchen here. They are widely celebrated for their Jumbo Wings, which many argue are some of the best in Atlantic County. Their menu is a masterclass in elevated pub fare—think “Fat Sandwiches,” loaded fries, and a legendary Cheesesteak that rivals anything you’ll find across the bridge. It’s the kind of place where the portions are large, and the beer is always served at an ice-cold temperature.

Local Hospitality: Beyond the food and the games, what truly sets Sidelines East apart is the atmosphere. It feels like a neighborhood living room. The staff is known for being incredibly welcoming, and the history of the building as a long-standing community hub shines through in the friendly, unpretentious service.
