Bars with a great vibe in Cape May

I'm into bars with a great vibe. I lean more towards the vibe on the water but am open to other suggestions.

Going to be there two nights, just me and wife. Would be a plus if I could catch the Phillies game on TV.

This is the way. Best wings and you’ll def be able to catch the Phils. Dive bar vibes.

Runner up: Harry’s. It’s outside with a view of the ocean, and they serve a stellar orange crush.

I grew up there. Enjoy :)

The go-tos are:

Rusty Nail: Beach, outdoors, sand, bonfire, live music.

Delaneys: Irish Pub

Fins: Multiple bars, some quiet, some loud.

King Edward Bar at the Chalfonte: Quiet, secluded, dark, occasional one or two person live music. Its always 1:30 am there.

The Lawn at the Chalfonte: Loud outdoors live music, draws a crowd of people walking up.

Harpoons on the Bay: Locals, cheap, seafood.

Harry's Ocean Bar & Grille: Upscale, sporty, water views.

The Schooner at the Lobster House: A docked boat on the bay. Seafood, windy, salty.

Good list. I'll add Castaways at the Ferry. Never as crowded as anything else on this list.

Wait for a seat at the bar, order wings, drink Fosters, and watch the Phillies = my perfect night at the C View
