About Us
The Buckalew family bought the place in 1949, running it much as it was – with the 1955 addition of the circular bar that filled the tavern room and had a platform in the center for entertainers, including Joni, who has played piano here for nearly fifty years. A favorite watering hole for the locals, Buckalew’s hosted the Beach Haven Life Guard’s Ball, the “society” event of the summer. Tom and Muncie Buckalew also made the place famous for “tomato pies” and soft shell crabs.
