“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our relationship with our North Beach ally Ocean Casino Resort,” said Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall Co-Owner Scott Cronick. “It is absolutely remarkable how Ocean has transformed itself into an Atlantic City tourism powerhouse for gaming, dining, nightlife and more in just five years. Ocean’s success helps smaller businesses like ours thrive, and their commitment to showcasing Tennessee Avenue’s offerings – while also contributing to the arts community – shows their selfless and collaborative nature. We couldn’t ask for better neighbors than Ocean, and we know their fifth anniversary is just the beginning of even greater success in the future!”
