Sea Isle City continues to revitalize its restaurant and shopping district. One such addition is the newly-rebranded Ludlam Bar & Grill (formerly the Beach Bar at The Ludlam). With a new vibe, new kitchen, and brand new menu, this spot offers a family-friendly atmosphere; as well as nightly entertainment and daily drink specials.
The 5,000-square foot Ludlam Bar & Grill is open for the 2022 summer. But they plan to close for the fall to complete the final phase of their renovation. “Our hope is to bring the guests of Sea Isle City the best shore experience possible by continuing the revitalization of the iconic corner of Landis Avenue and JFK Boulevard,” says Chief Marketing Officer for Shorebreak Resorts, Amy Glancey.
