Glitch Bar

Downtown Fodor's Choice

This casual spot has old-school arcade games, pinball, occasional DJs, and craft cocktails often named after pop-culture references. Come for the games (ranging from classics like Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga to Killer Queen, the world's only 10-player strategy arcade game) and stay for drinks and friendly bartenders. Those looking for something to soak up the alcohol can enjoy a selection of muffuletta sandwiches made to order.

The Wreck Bar

Beachfront

Travel back in time to the '50s at this "under the sea" dive bar and seafood eatery at B Ocean Resort, where huge aquariums and a porthole show off live mermaids, who perform an underwater series of tangos and group ensembles dressed in sparkling fishtails. These late-night, aqua burlesque shows take place in the pool on Friday and Saturday.
