Maggie's Venues to Close for Season Saturday

Live Poll

Do you think your area's local bars and restaurants are getting better or worse?

Maggie's at Lakewood Country Club will close its taproom, Tiki Bar and Underground sports bar for the season on Saturday, November 15, 2026. Until closing, the venues are pouring $2 drafts and selling $5 appetizers.

Why it matters

The closing marks the end of a long-running local bar as its owner, a Lakewood man, retires after 50 years of running the family business. Residents who frequent the venues will need to find another gathering spot once they shut for the season.

The three venues run daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. through Saturday, November 15, with $2 drafts and $5 appetizers offered until closing. The source does not indicate whether the venues will reopen after the season.

The players

Lakewood Country Club

Lakewood Country Club was founded in 1896 and is a long-established private club in Lakewood, New Jersey, whose grounds house the Maggie's venues.

The details

Maggie's at Lakewood Country Club, located at 145 Country Club Drive, will shut down its taproom, its Tiki Bar and its Underground sports bar on Saturday. The Claflin House taproom sits in a mansion dating to the 1880s, the Underground becomes a dance club on Friday and Saturday nights, and the dog-friendly Tiki Bar sits next to Pine Park.

Local Landmark

The Claflin House, a mansion dating to the 1880s, is now a taproom and dining room on the grounds of Lakewood Country Club, founded in 1896. The seasonal closing of its venues ends a period in a historic Lakewood setting that has hosted local social life for more than a century.

Residents who regularly visit the taproom, Tiki Bar or Underground will need to find another venue after November 15. The venues offer $2 drafts and $5 appetizers through their final night, so anyone wanting those deals should plan a visit before closing.

The takeaway

Longtime local gathering spots can close quietly at season's end, so residents who value them may want to visit before the final closing date. Checking venue announcements directly is the best way to learn about any future reopening.
