Atlantic City is no stranger to entertainment. But The Hook at Caesars Atlantic City is the area’s first permanent entertainment residency. The new venue is inside the Warner Theatre, which itself is nearly 100 years old. The interconnected space features a 422-seat theatre, restaurant, and two bars.
The Hook hosts a 75-minute variety and acrobatics show that runs every week, all year long. Performances take place Wednesday through Sunday from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm, This adults-only show features an international cast of circus performers, comedians, and acrobats. It is directed by British comedy director Cal McCrystal, and does not have an intermission. The production is created by live entertainment company Spiegelworld, which also has three shows in Las Vegas.

Dining by The Hook
In addition to live entertainment guests can visit Superfrico, the venue’s on-site restaurant open before and after shows. This Italian American eatery’s menu has a coastal Italian twist, including their signature square pizzas made in a pizza oven. They serve reimagined classic dishes in a high-energy atmosphere featuring art, music, and live performances. For those just passing through, they have a walk-by window serving chicken parm sandwiches. Meanwhile, their outdoor dining option boasts ocean views.
Likewise, the Superfico offers two on-site bars serving elevated cocktails curated by award-winning mixologists. The first is the Cheval de Plongée, which means diving horse in French. The name reflects the famous, former Atlantic City attraction where horses dove unharmed into the ocean. Other alcoholic beverages include wines, beers, and signature sips like the Michelada Frozé and cocktails named Thunderhoof and Saltwater Barnum.
Before or after each show (and also open to the public), the Horse Dive Bar is inside The Hook lobby. This bar offers boutique beers, wines, and handcrafted cocktails, including fresh takes on old favorites as well as new classics.
