Ocean City's Northend Beach Grill Will Not Reopen

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Longtime Ocean City eatery Northend Beach Grill will not reopen, according to its owners. The Beach Grill was built shortly after World War II, according to its owners.

The establishment's location is tucked away in the sand, representing Ocean City's charm and history. Owners Angelo DiBartolo and Jim Aller announced Wednesday that Northend Beach Grill would not return.

"The new owner of the property does not wish for us to return and we have to respect his wishes," they wrote.

Northend Beach Grill is at least the second Ocean City eatery to close in recent weeks. Philly Twist on the boardwalk also shuttered. Read more: Philly Twist Pretzel, Grille In Ocean City Closing
