Please check out a note from the new owners of the Crest Tavern, as well as our menus and hours, below. We are in the process of building a new website. Stay tuned!
A new dawn at the Crest Tavern…
For generations, the Crest Tavern has been a place where locals and visitors gather, stories are shared, and traditions live on. Now, we’re proud to welcome a new era.
The Barber Family, which has run local businesses in Cape May, the Wildwoods, and Lower Township for over 20 years, is honored to take the reins of this beloved tavern. You may know us from East Coast Water Sports on both Rio Grande Avenue in Wildwood and at Utsch's Marina in Cape May (hence the name East Coast Crest Tavern). We're bringing fresh energy and thoughtful updates — while staying true to everything you already love. Familiar favorites remain, quality comes first, and the welcoming atmosphere you’ve always known is here to stay.
Beloved staff will stay on board, with some new local faces welcoming you too. We will be offering a limited menu as improvements are made behind the scenes, and new menu releases will roll out regularly. A full, expanded menu is coming soon, tailored by Consultant Chef Dave Masterson, who has over 40 years of culinary experience. He is at the helm of the original kitchen staff, which have been a cornerstone here for decades. Don't worry — Wednesdays will continue to be Chicken Pot Pie Night!
​
Stop by and say hello! Cheers!
Andy & Kelly Barber
