A rare opportunity to own an established bayfront restaurant "Twisties Tavern on the Bay", located between Ocean City and Sea Isle City in Strathmere. With a loyal following, Twisties is known for its friendly service, delicious food, drinks, and breathtaking bay views with stunning sunsets. This Strathmere tradition for 95 years has a rich history, it's even rumored that Al Capone once visited, inspiring the owners to begin their collection of mounted fish that now adorn the walls.

The restaurant and bar are decorated with nautical decor, carved coconut heads, and vintage memorabilia, adding to its unique character.
