Happy hours and bar games

Those Wildwood days now have billboards

and

a song to sing their praises, but let's not forget the Wildwood nights.

The island has something for the party animal in everyone, including nightly happy hours (and two in the morning), trivia games and karaoke.

Quizzo

Those looking to impress their friends with their knowledge of useless information will find Quizzo somewhere on the island four nights a week:

_ Monday: Woody's Corner, 102 E. 18th Ave.

_ Tuesday: Owen's Pub, 119 E. 17th Ave.

_ Wednesday: Quizzo on both ends of the island, at Westy's Irish Pub, 101 E. Walnut Ave., and at the Wharf, 708 W. Burk Ave.

_ Sunday: Kelly's Cafe, 4400 Atlantic Ave.

Karaoke

_ Tuesday: Boardwalk Bar and Grill, 3500 Atlantic Ave. Home of the Tramcar, a frozen drink with 11 liquors that is similar to a strawberry daquiri, we're told.

_ Thursday: Bolero Resort, 3320 Atlantic Ave. Karaoke with half-price martinis!

Looking for a cold drink on the water?

_ The Oceanic, 600 Ocean Ave. Offers a swim-up tiki bar with live entertainment.

_ Sunset Bay, 400 W. Spruce Ave. Offering daily drink specials and the ambiance of a tropical island.

_ Urie's, 588 West Rio Grande Ave. Watch the sunset from one of Wildwood's oldest waterfront establishments.
