Angeloni's Club Madrid, a new, retro cocktail bar from the operators of Tony's Baltimore Grill, celebrates Atlantic City's roguish scene just after casinos opened.“Everybody has their what-if,” reads the menu at Angeloni’s Club Madrid, a hip, retro bar-lounge that opened a few weeks ago in’s Ducktown neighborhood.
, took the look and feel back to the crushed-velvet 1980s. You sweep inside through a heavy curtain. There’s a restored ‘80s Marantz receiver in an étagère behind the bar. The TV is a Sony Trinitron that plays ‘80s Atlantic City newsreels and commercials from the casinos when they first opened. Security-camera globes from a casino form part of the lounge’s ceiling. A chandelier that reportedly hung in the South Philly home of mob boss Angelo Bruno hangs in one corner. You can sit at mob boss Nicky Scarfo’s dinner table. A monogrammed car phone belonging to onetime Atlantic City political boss John Schultz is perched on a table. There’s a plastic slip-covered couch, too. “If that doesn’t make you feel like you’re at your grandmother’s house, nothing will,” Aspell said.
Food — and you can order the entire dinner menu for $399 — is straight-ahead Italian, off a typed sheet encased in a plastic jacket: House-extruded pastas include lumache with pistachio pesto and orecchiette with crab, shrimp, and basil. There’s a wedge salad with sub ingredients from White House Sub Shop down the street. There’s eggplant Milanese and chicken Parm. Among the snacks, they serve focaccia from nearby A. Rando bakery with dip, and spicy garlic cheese spread with fried bread.
From 4 to 6 p.m. Friday to Monday, the bar offers a comped aperitivo with the purchase of every cocktail, and brunch is coming in August., 2400 Arctic Ave., Atlantic City. Hours: 4 p.m. to midnight Thursday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 4 p.m. to midnight Sunday and Monday.
