Ducktown Tavern & Liquors / The Duck Hut — Restaurant in Atlantic City

Party if four, we went yesterday after beerfest. We weren't the only party that ventured there from beerfest. The tavern was closed. Had to walk to the parking lot to the "Duck Hut". First thought on entry, ghetto and cheap with two porta-potties right there at the front in view of everyone at the venue and the streets. Picnic tables and small round tables. A bar with two bartenders and a bar back. Two servers. We grab drinks at the bar and then sat at a take with a menu (found on the bar). Watch for the next 29 minutes as both servers tap the two tables next to us, then the other tables. Finally my friend who was getting hangry gets up and goes to the bar. The bartender tells him before my friend could speak, "I'm sending someone to you". He sits back down and we wait another 10 minutes. Server comes and takes the order, we ask how long, her response " eh it's gonna be a while, don't know how long". Comes back 5 minutes later to confirm before she submitted the order...... Good comes, it's just okay. Nachos are your basic high school cafeteria nacho. Cheap cheese out of a can, same with the veggies. The fried Gouda was very good, wings just okay. Then we played a quick game of Cornhole until we left. So service: 2/10; bartender: 6/10; ambiance: 1/10; overall: 3/10. With all the other places actually putting in an effort to make their outdoor look appealing, this place obviously does not care. Take a lesson from Tennessee Ave Beer Hall. They have so much more business and it isn't just bc the food and beer selection is better. I would not go back or recommend the Duck...

Professionalism was at a height when I visited. Bartender had the food waitress come take my order. It was late night and apparently the only place in A/C ,that truly serves food 24 hrs. Yes all casinos should have a seated option anytime of day but none of them do. They have true 24 he service. Was warned it was a dive bar but food was good. I can confirm food was good not as dive bar as I consider a dive bar. No holes in bathroom floor no risk of unexpectedly falling into the basement. So not in my book as a dive bar but a solid neighborhood joint. I'd recommend as long as you haven't been partying too much elsewhere. Don't bring your mess here. Acceptable if you become a mess here just watch your pregame. I found this to be a nice place with good food not far from where I was staying but I was warned do not try to walk here. Save your life and invest in UBER. The bar itself wasn't scary or overly exciting. I'm from tough places and probably wouldn't have had an issue however I do heed local advice. If you're visiting don't walk here but fine to uber or cab it. They do have an awesome wine menu in addition to the liquor. They had some bourbon considered rare in my neck of the country and pricing was reasonable. My main advice is don't compare the midnight bartender to McGregor no matter how tempting it might be. Have fun drink wisely don't puke or you will forever be hated and never welcome back. I was a witness not...

The waitress was so rude I let it slide several times before I said and did something. We knew what we wanted to drink and eat as soon as she came, 1. No greeting or name 2. “I take your drink order first, and then I take your order for food” 3. I asked for peach high noon, she gave me black cherry, 4. She never asked if we were ok, 5. I asked for a water with lemon, she goes, “bottled water”!? Uh no you tried it. I said tap water with lemon. … 6. She drops off the check, doesn’t ask if we need a box & walks away. That’s when I lost my shit. I took the receipt crumbled it up threw it away after I said to her while she’s walking away. We were never done ordering and never asked for the check. Other customers noticed I had a fit. I left to go to the bathroom right after to cool down, I come back and sit down, and the waitress quickly comes over and says “baby drink your shots they gonna get warm”. I looked at her and said, I didn’t order these shots, the girls did, while I was in the bathroom.. she was acting so nice after I threw away the first check. We stayed a good 35 mins after and she kept coming over being extra nice and specifically to me. Like girl you ain’t getting any tip from me with the way you acted from start to finish. The bill was 92$. She really needs to learn customer service and not rush people. 92$ and her tip wasn’t even 15% she didn’t deserve it. I’ll never...
