Salty Dick’s Kitchen & Piano Bar Opening in Ortley Beach, NJ in 2027
Something salty is coming to Ortley Beach next year, and I think locals are absolutely going to love it.
This is something that's been in the works for more than 4 years, and is a passion project by a local business owner who just wants to give the community a place to hang out, a place for people to feel welcomed and grab a cold drink, good food, and a place for people to see some amazing live music.

And although there are some great little restaurants in Ortley Beach, like the Lobster Dock and Mia's Pizza, I don't think Ortley has seen anything like this in years.
