Memories in Margate

We had a blast and it was full of Memories! We wish Jerry Blavat was still alive! Janet and Bruce can really dance!

It’s time to make new memories !!! The Geator with the Heater lives on. Memories in Margate, a once-popular Jersey Shore nightclub and bar, underwent extensive renovations and reopened in May 2024 under new ownership by Philadelphia restaurateur Teddy Sourias of Craft Concepts Group . The club's updated interior features a new video wall, dance floor, and tribute area to former owner Jerry Blavat, along with some of his original music collection, mixers, and turntables. The exterior maintains its classic royal blue-and-white color scheme, complemented by a new sign and tiki bar beneath a pergola. The club now offers a dinner menu and brunch options in addition to its nightlife experience.

Let me summarize my experience at Memories: getting barked at by a man and his girlfriend one minute into walking into the club, bouncers letting girls who are giving their ig handles out skip the bathroom line, getting yelled at for waiting for my girl in the bathroom by the woman attendant, and a literal fight that took place inches away from us (a group of women) that security was involved in (!) and then did not remove the parties from the club. This is the type of place that I would feel uncomfortable with accepting a drink because I would not trust anyone here, even the women here. Combine that with being a woman of color. Worst 30 dollars (!) for cover I ever spent. I will literally never return or recommend that you give them any of your money. Bad memories only.

I’m really shaken by what happened to me at Memories in Margate and feel it’s important to share. While out with my friends, a man (probably in his late 50s) took a photo of me BENEATH MY SKIRT without my knowledge. I only found out because another woman witnessed it and told me. I confronted the man, but he wouldn’t acknowledge me, refused to show his phone, and acted like I was crazy. What followed was incredibly disappointing. I brought it to the female bartender and security, hoping for support. For some reason, I still don’t know why, she was mad at ME and telling me to calm down and suggesting I leave. She gave this creepy man the benefit of the doubt instead of believing me. I was visibly scared, shaken, and crying. The staff made this situation 10x worse. Eventually the bartender

Our night was made coming into memories on Wednesday evening. The bartender Amanda Exceeded our expectations as did the whole night. We danced with the band enjoyed the music & great drinks. The service was so welcoming and we were greatful to find a spot that made our Wednesday night the best ! Can’t wait to come back this was a pleasant surprise.
