Bartender Traver Ochs gestured around 10 South, the high-end martini bar he has run at the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club in Beach Haven for the last eight years, as he reminisced on its beginnings.

“Originally, when they started (the bar), it was a forced (Superstorm) Sandy remodel,” he recounted. “It was originally just used for weddings or storage. Tom (Hughes), our owner, wanted to really put something together where we didn’t just have the outside bars and be known for Thunder Thursday.”

10 South Martini and Lounge Bar is something you may have missed when visiting the Shell.
