BORN FROM FAMILY | DRIVEN BY PASSION | INSPIRED BY LIFE | ITALIAN AMERICAN without the RULES |
Our food, while Italian American at heart, is inspired by travel, culture and experiences, as are our cocktails. Lee Sanchez leads the kitchen and bar team bringing small and large plates to life, including pasta, pizza and sandwiches. Raised by a strong Italian mother and grandmother he learned to cook from them; however his father is first generation from Spain and so his life has been a melting pot of Italian and Spanish culture.
Mark Callazzo and Lee Sanchez became friends and then business partners. Both raised in Italian American households and share a love foor food and travel. Together the have set out to bring Atlantic City dining and nightlife to new heights. In addition to inspired cocktails and dining, Rhythm & Spirits offers an intimate cocktail club and live music experience, after dining hours. Inside you will find a dark, but well-lit intimate space that is home to the original Iron Room whiskey and spirits collection from Albany Ave. Outside you will find a tropical oasis in the secret garden. Guests who stay late can expect to hear local artists of all genres performing original and cover music, or one of our resident DJs and national recording artists.
We offer a sophisticated nightlife experience focused on providing quality entertainment in a fun and exciting space paired with award winning cocktails, a world-class spirits list, and hand-selected wines available by the glass and bottle.
Rhythm & Spirits is available for Brunch (Saturday and Sunday), Pizza, Sandwiches Salads are served Wednesday to Sunday. Our Italian American Dinner is served Friday and Satursday. Spaces are available for private events.

“With over two decades of experience in transforming the dining scene in Atlantic City and beyond, Chef Lee Sanchez has a deep passion for creating unforgettable culinary experiences.
[...] Lee’s journey in the culinary world includes his role as vice president of food and beverage at Harrah’s Resort. At Harrah’s, he developed award-winning dining and beverage programs, collaborating with renowned chefs including Guy Fieri and Steve Martorano.”
“Arguably the best cocktail bar in all of Atlantic City, this Orange Loop favorite makes for a great spot to pop in, grab a drink or two while you munch on one of their outrageously delicious apps like their famous Salami Toast. ”
“I[...] Chef [...] finds a way to introduce truffles, slow roast meats to mouthwatering perfection, and turn simple seasonings like salt and pepper into flavor-popping gastronomic reminders of the good Earth we inhabit”
“If there’s one thing you can’t accuse the restaurants on the Orange Loop of, it’s a lack of creative ideas. Since opening their doors, both Rhythm & Spirits — with their trendy, twisted-up vision of Italian restaurant meets modern tiki bar — and Bar 32 -with its marriage of fabulous cocktails and bean-to-bar chocolate with a chic romantic vibe — have been standouts on a block of Atlantic City known for its standouts.”
