Bar One, a vibrant casino lounge situated on the main floor of the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, serves as a central social gathering place. Conveniently located near the hotel lobby, it offers a diverse selection of beverages, including wine, specialty cocktails, and draft beers. Renowned for its energetic ambiance, Bar One frequently hosts DJs on weekends, seasonal holiday pop-up bars, and weekly events.
In recent years, pop-up bar takeovers at Bar One have garnered significant attention. Past seasonal themes have included the Boo Bar, Candy Cane Lounge, XO Bar, The Tipsy Leprechaun, and numerous others. This year, the concept has been elevated to new heights. Step into playful indulgence at the Piggy Bank Pop Up Bar, a limited-time summer experience where coins transform into cocktails, creating an atmosphere of perpetual celebration. This lively pop-up bar offers exclusive drink specials, themed décor, and an electrifying ambiance within the heart of Resorts Casino Hotel. It features live music, promotions, and nightly entertainment, ensuring an unforgettable experience. Whether you visit after a casino outing or make it your primary destination, the Piggy Bank delivers a fun and immersive atmosphere, ideal for social gatherings with friends. Indulge in beverages, celebrate, and “bring home the bacon” at one of Atlantic City’s most popular seasonal hangouts.
The Piggy Bank offers a vibrant entertainment experience with a diverse range of offerings. The venue features high-energy performances such as the “Pink Piggy Dancers,” live bands on weekends, prize giveaways, and an extensive cocktail menu. The cocktails are themed, including the Tipsy Pig (bourbon with bacon-brown-sugar syrup), When Pigs Fly (Pink Whitney vodka), and The Pigtail. On Sundays, the venue serves a substantial Piggy Bank Bacon Bloody Mary garnished with candied bacon and vegetables.
The Piggy Bank’s entertainment calendar is packed with events throughout the season, including DJ Gary’s 11th year as the resident DJ at Bar One. With 50 years of experience, DJ Gary has become a staple of the AC nightlife scene, performing at private parties and casinos alike.
The venue also hosts Happy Hour every Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 6 pm, DJ Bingo every Sunday from 3 pm to midnight, DJ Trivia every Monday from 7 pm to midnight, and Karaoke Night every Thursday from 8 pm to midnight.
In celebration of Pride Month, The Piggy Bank will host an unforgettable evening of live singing, extravagant glamour, and pure joy on June 12, 2026. The event will feature Philly Drag Mafia’s Brittany Lynn, who will deliver stunning performances, captivating live vocals, uproarious comedy, breathtaking fashion, and a celebration of Pride. Whether you are a drag enthusiast or simply seeking an exceptional night out, this cabaret promises an unforgettable experience. The show begins at 7 pm, but it is highly recommended to arrive early to take advantage of the venue’s 6 pm Happy Hour specials.
Our very own Board President, Krista Baum, and former President, Jeanine Osendowski, had the privilege of attending The Piggy Bank with esteemed colleagues and members of the GACCA. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the exceptional experience they had. If you are seeking a distinctive and engaging venue, The Piggy Bank is undoubtedly a must-visit destination.
