Queen Jayne’s Lounge and Royal Drinkery in Somers Point has undergone another massive transformation. You may remember the Frosted Crown Holiday Pop Up Bar from last winter (which will be back later this year!). The team at the speakeasy-style bar has done it again only, this time, it’s the tropical and groovy Tiki Disco. What exactly is Tiki Disco?
“We wanted to capture the essence of two important eras of cocktails: the Disco Era of Harvey Wallbangers and Midori Sours and the Tiki craze with drinks like the Mai Tai and Painkiller,” says Bar Lead Mike Vander Horn.
Pop-up bars have been all the rage in the greater Atlantic City area, with casino bars and wineries going all out for the winter holidays with some even finding an excuse to decorate for Easter. Queen Jayne’s put on the Frosted Crown Pop Up last year to a ton of fanfare, turning the lounge into a brilliant wonderland, and even did a smaller scale Valentine’s Pop Up called the Royal Rose.
To end the summer, though, Queen Jayne’s has become the Tiki Disco. “More important than the food or drinks is the vibe,” continues Vander Horn. “Combining these two eras has been an extremely fun challenge.”
The vibe is impeccable. From plant walls to disco balls, the attention to detail is stunning. There’s small touches you may not notice unless you visit the restroom; dominating the scene is a massive rotating disco ball, neon lighting and hanging plants all while the best classic disco tunes and island music keep the energy high.
The Miami Vice: Remastered is the signature serve at the Tiki Disco, taking the sweet, blended classic and clarifying the Piña Colada element with coconut milk and turning the Strawberry Daiquiri into a delicious and creamy foam. Topped with strawberry dust and served with a pink disco ball, this one transports you to a sophisticated island lounge with every sip.
There’s also some food specials, including a combo of pulled pork sandwiches and a charred pineapple macaroni salad. And for dessert? The Upside Down, a quintessential pineapple upside down cake with Luxardo Maraschino cherries. Scrumptious!
Queen Jayne’s is a special place all year long. With a 4.9 star rating across multiple platforms, customers rave about the cocktails, the food and the service. Why the focus on the pop-ups?
“We’re always looking to surprise and delight our guests,” replies Vander Horn. “We do it in small ways every day. But there’s always room for more. And, really, something like Tiki Disco is just fun. And that’s what great bars are all about!”
Queen Jayne’s is located at 264 New Road Somers Point, NJ. Hours are Wednesday & Thursday 4-10 and Friday & Saturday 4-11. Tiki Disco runs from August 6-September 6.
