Riggers — Restaurant in Seaside Heights

Last night I went in to Riggers with a friend of mine who I've been friends with for nearly 35 years. As we sat down, the bartender, Billy, automatically gave her a beer because she frequents the place. I asked for a draft beer. I then asked if he could turn on the Mets game.

As well made a big scene with her daddy about the pool tables as if we were magically to know how they were handled at the bar without being told by anyone. Just straight stereotypical bully " I was cool in high-school" energy...

August 2022.. we went in the afternoon to shoot pool and get a bite.. but they were doing some work in the back.. painting and woodwork, so we didnt even ask about food. I'm not even sure they serve food actually.

But it was a nice time. Despite the pool equipment being worn, we got our fix. we went to the next block and ate at Montes Cafe, which was very clean and had great Mexican food.

the bartender was cool. seemed like a fun place to grab a beer. easy adjacent...
