The tavern has been in business since 1933 and its present owner, who had the sign put up, has been in charge for 22 years. Inside, the tavern has a dark, Colonial look. There's a bar that seats 30 people and tables for at least 30 more patrons. Live bands play country, blues or Top 40 on the weekends.

De Feo's Lounge 29 S. Missouri Ave Atlantic City, NJ 08401 609-347-7780. Is probably one of Atlantic City's best kept secrets. Wedged between Caesar's Casino and Trump Plaza, it's a neighborhood bar in the true sense of the word. Nothing fancy here. No outlandish decorations. Just a room of wood paneling and mirrors that help accent the wooden bar in the center of it all and good clientele. When you walk in, you get the feeling that everyone's a regular and everyone knows everyone else. A happenin' jukebox kicks out favorite tunes, a DJ spins on Fridays and Saturdays and the locals test their lungs (and our ears) with Karaoke on Sunday. The kitchen serves traditional bar fare i.e. soup & sandwich specials, Cheesesteaks, and Buffalo wings. Like I said, there's nothing fancy about the place, but when you feel like you're among friends, who needs it?
