A highly anticipated new restaurant is officially opening in Somers Point this Memorial Day Weekend as Webster’s Tavern welcomes its first guests.

The new concept comes from hospitality veteran and Somers Point resident Chris Webb, who purchased the former Windjammer Café and completely transformed the space into what’s shaping up to be one of the shore’s newest go-to gathering spots.

Webster’s Tavern is centered around great food, sports, drinks, and community — combining a modern tavern atmosphere with the energy of a true neighborhood pub. The new restaurant features a massive island bar, 38 large-screen TVs throughout the space, and a raised private event area designed for game days, group gatherings, and shore weekends.

The menu will focus on modern tavern classics alongside a beverage program featuring local craft beers, handcrafted cocktails, seasonal spirits, and wines by the glass. Guests can also expect specials like Happy Hour, Wing Night, and a Late Night Menu as the tavern settles into summer.

With Somers Point continuing to grow as one of South Jersey’s premier food and nightlife destinations, Webster’s Tavern feels like a perfect fit for the area — especially heading into Memorial Day Weekend and summer at the shore.
