We were searching for a Craftbeer bar and a friend recommended this bar which we had never heard about. We walked in a saw the wall behind the bar filled with maybe 60 taps. Heaven. We tried some beers totally unique to us which is always fun. There is a food menu but I think it comes from the neighboring deli in the same market place. My only complaint on Firewaters was the price for beer. When we ordered a Dogfish Head 90 Minute and got a 10 oz. Glass for $ 9.00 we decided it was time to go.

I occasionally come to Firewaters if I’m staying at Tropicana. There are televisions throughout for guest who want to watch sports. A few arcade games are located inside as well. They usually run daily drink specials. I haven’t tried any food here. Our bartender was attentive and down to earth. It’s a good place to socialize in Tropicana. I usually go late evening when its more laid back. I haven’t been here late night. Firewaters is a good place to watch sports/socialize. I give Firewaters a 3.5 rating.

Great place to try a variety of beers. They have an extremely large selection to choose from, and its fun to try a sampler flight. We enjoyed our flights and then chose a beer of our favorite from that flight. Its a big bar, tucked away in the lower level of the trop. It wasnt too crowded, so it was a nice place to stop in, chill and relax in between gambling. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the bartender. I will give her credit because she was SOO knowledgeable about her beer selection, and knew our palates as soon as she saw our flight selection(great quality for a bartender to have for a place with a huge beer selection). But she was very hard to get attention, I almost felt like she was ignoring us or just didnt like our corner of the bar. Its not very crowded here, so one bartender can manage the bar. Maybe it was just an off day for her… but other than this, its a good place to try a beer outside of the ordinary bud or coors, then head back up to the slots or tables.

At seven bucks for a 310 ml beer, roughly 10 ounces, this place is a rip off. Yes, they have a good selection, but that price works out to $ 50 for a six pack. First night service was good but it was empty. Second night was busier and service sucked. If you want to stick with Yuengling then it’s okay, otherwise there has to be a better choice.

As I took my seat at the bar, I wondered why this place isn’t more popular. They have 50 taps and $ 2 beers for happy hour. I’d called them prior to my visit to inquire about a specialty beer they were supposed to have, and the bartender even recognized me from the call. So they did have the speciality beer(YOPO!) but the allure of Firewaters decreased throughout my visit. The happy hour listing on their website was misleading. Only the domestic drafts were $ 2. Everything else was full price, even during happy hour. The bartender who recognized me initially, was really hard to flag down and practically ignored me the rest of my visit. The draft list was intriguing and probably one of the better selections in AC. For that alone, I’m going with 3 stars for Firewaters.

Friendly service, lots of different beers, bar tender was quite busy with a large group and got confused with the money given to her, shorted us about $ 8. Another bar tender came on, very nice guy took care of us and made conversation. Definitely made the experience better.

Having been to the spot out in Hackensack many, many times… this dark outpost beneath the Quarter at the Tropicana does not compare favourably. Little in the way of ambience(besides a few neon lights and a tv or two) and a virtual dead zone for socializing: this is where one goes to grab a craft beer at a decent price and move on out. The selection is good, though not as extensive as Hackensack’s, and the $ 8 sampler(Three 4oz beers served on a paddle) is probably your best bet. Great selection does not always mean great brew: two of the beers in that sampler were pretty flat, as was my friend’s pint of Yuengling. Drinks here are a bit cheaper than most other places you’ll find at the Trop but not a place to linger.

I’m a craft beer drinker who has come to Firewaters often. But probably no more. You keep raising prices and now your flights of beer are $ 8 for 3 beers. That’s about 6 oz fir $ 8. Absurd. Sorry guys — one less craft beer customer. Just serve up Coors light to the drunks.

Came here on a Sunday to watch the football game with the hubbs. We were able to get a seat right by the TV and the speakers right behind us. Two stars for that. We were approached by the bartender: an early 20s blond girl who first gave me a look for ordering a water with lemon. Once finished, I had to get her attention from across the bar because she was too busy socializing for a refill. She came over only to ask, «When are you gonna start drinking?» with a smirk. I wasn’t too pleased with that seeing that I get it that she wants a tip and all, but being blunt about it is just plain rude. We ordered some sliders for $ 3 bucks to snack on. She brought it over without ketchup/mustard/mayo and left to the other side of the bar to socialize again. My hubbs went to find our own condiments because I didn’t feel like yelling to get her attention. Besides the two of us and the guys she flirted with, there was no one there. So, there was no excuse other than she just didn’t care. Food was ok… at best… All in all, other than the poor service, food was unremarkable, but the bar ambiance in the only thing I am giving it 2 stars for. Blah…

If your looking for a place to drink with your drink heavily mixed things the place. I hadn’t made it out here in quite a while but when I do its a blast and I find myself not remembering the night before. One of the many bars in the tropicana casino.

Came to the Tropicana for the weekend during some good NFL playoff games, so my wife and I were looking for a good spot to watch the games. With the Trop having so many bar selections we decided to visit Firewaters, which was a good decision. Eats/Drinks: — 3 sliders for $ 3, the sliders were bigger than your average size sliders. Good for the price — 50+ beers on tap and a big bottle selection, definitely beats your Corona and Bud selection. If your a craft beer fan like I am you can’t go wrong with the selection. Likes: — Several TV’s to watch your favorite sports event — Prices are good especially during happy hour — Huge beer selection with a 3 for $ 8 sampler, of course the glasses are smaller — Entrance is right off the boardwalk — Inexpensive especially for a hotel bar Dislikes: — Bartenders are just ok, could be more attentative Overall I enjoyed my time here. I will definitely come back to hang out.

For some reason I like this place a lot for the music and drinks. I have never had a problem with the crowd that enter. Never seen a fight or anyone being thrown out. The patrons actually know how to act unlike«A Dam good sports bar» located upstairs in The Quarter. The music is always good if you’re into hip hop, R&B, rap and also stuff from the 90s(which I grew up with). This place always allows me to have a good time and dance with my friends without fearing that a drunken idiot will step on your foot or start a fight.

Excellent beer selection. Dark and unappealing atmosphere.

Can I give this place no stars? Sticky, sticky floors. Slooooooow bartenders. Like sitting on their cell phone, texting while you’re drinkless. And frustrated. «Can you play…» «I’m the DJ. I play what I want. No requests.» Varying drink prices. Which means, you’re stealing my money. I went in against my instincts, at a friends request. It was her birthday. I’ll never go back. There are plenty of other places in the tropicana to drink, dance and party.

Ahh, Firewaters. This place would be better off ON fire, but I assure you there wouldn’t be enough water in the world to put it out. And what a shame considering all of the beer options they have on draft. First of all, the location is just weird. It’s kind of in the mall, but not really. It’s kind of near the casino, but not really. It’s like it doesn’t know where it wants to be so it just kind of plopped itself in the middle hoping to get customers en route to the mall/casino to stop in. Secondly, the place is filthy, but perhaps its biggest problem was the rudeness and slowness of the bartender. This guy either had a really bad hangover or a death in the family, because he clearly did not want to be there. I went here with a group of 6. The girls wanted martinis. The bartender said not until the next bartender came to replace him. He didn’t know how to make the martinis they wanted. Then I asked for a beer they ran out of and he offered me no alternatives. When I chose my own replacement, the bartender told me that option was $ 10 and asked me if I was sure I still wanted it. I didn’t go here dressed in rags so I’m not sure what he was implying. Bottom line: avoid this place, especially if that grumpy old bartender is working. The only saving grace for this bar is the number of beer options, even though they may be out of what you want to order.

If you’re looking for craft beer at the casino, stop by Firewaters. They have a solid selection of beer and the staff is nice. Prices are pretty standard for the area. When we went, it wasn’t terribly crowded so we were able to talk with the manager, who was a good guy. It’s nice to know there is a place like this where one can seek refuge from the usual clubs/lounges with bad music and crowded, run-of-the-mill faux-Irish pubs. We didn’t stay long but we would return if in the area again.

Bartender not friendly to me and my gf. Weird, cause she was friendly to other patrons. No mojitos Had the package with the casino and wouldn’t let me order a martini? Dislike! :( On the bright side, I had a margarita, and it was strong! Place has TVs, so its a good place to watch a game, but it would have been nicer if the music playing didn’t drown it out. So 3 stars. just cause of cheap strong drinks. $ 5LI! Seemed to have a good selection of beers. Kind of small plain sports bar otherwise.

50 Beers on Tap! Okay, now that I have your attention, let’s talk about this place. After having a couple of beers at a pub upstairs, I ventured downstairs and happened upon Firewaters, which is on the backside, boardwalk level of the Tropicana. I looked in, saw their 50 taps(see photo) and quickly grabbed a seat at the bar. After looking through the beer list, which also includes over 100 bottles, I decided on Merry Monks, which is a little pricey, but delicious. The place wasn’t that busy, but it was a Sunday evening, so it’s understandable. Service and atmopshere: okay. The next afternoon we came back and decided to order the sampler: 4 different beers for $ 8.00. We wrote down all our selections and had a fun time trying a lot of different drafts while watching some pre-season baseball. I’d definitely recommend getting the sampler if you want to try something new, but don’t want to fork over dough for just one draft. Another nice bar find in A.C.

cool place to go if you’re already staying in the Trop and don’t want to get all dressed up and drop a ton of cash. Don’t expect much and you might just be surprised. You can get drinks for good price. This is a casual bar that has a pretty good DJ arrangement, and seems to always get the people dancing. It gets good after 11:30−12 when all the rejects who didn’t get into the club upstairs seek refuge here.

Awesome beer selection(around 50 on tap plus everything else) and amazing martini selection. The prices are decent considering this bar is in a casino. Was there on a Saturday night and the music was really good!
