TENNESSEE AVENUE & THE ORANGE LOOP

THE PLACE

There is a block in Atlantic City that is becoming something. Tennessee Avenue — named after the orange property on the Monopoly board, the origin of the Orange Loop — has drawn a community of independent creators, restaurateurs, and artists who believe this city has more stories left to tell.

Stay Tennessee is part of that story. Built on Tennessee Avenue by Bartram Beach Homes in partnership with some of the most distinctive creative talent on the Shore, it brings together four things that have never shared an address in Atlantic City: a world-class karaoke experience designed room by room, a European-inspired café concept rooted in Monopoly iconography and Monte Carlo racing culture, a community art studio expanding one of Brigantine’s most beloved galleries to a wider audience, and five suites above it all where guests can live inside the experience rather than visit it.

THE LOBBY — WHERE IT BEGINS

You Enter Through a Bookshelf. That’s Not a Coincidence.

The lobby of STAY Tennessee is designed around a single idea: that the best experiences feel like discoveries. Velvet couches, low light, an old record player turning quietly in the corner. And a bookshelf along one wall that, if you know where to look, opens into something else entirely.

Behind it: the hallway, the kitchen where Salvatore Spena’s food and beverage program comes to life, and four doors — each one a completely different world, each one designed from floor to ceiling by Kelly Woodyard of The Design Bar Interiors. The speakeasy aesthetic runs from the lobby through every shared space. What happens behind each door is entirely its own.

Kelly Woodyard

Lead Designer, Mic Drop Karaoke — STAY Tennessee

Kelly Woodyard brought four distinct worlds to life inside a single address on Tennessee Avenue — each karaoke room a fully realized interior design statement, unified by the speakeasy aesthetic that runs through the lobby and hallways of STAY Tennessee. Her work turns a karaoke night into something worth talking about the next morning.

MIC DROP KARAOKE

Four Rooms. Four Worlds. One Address on Tennessee Avenue.

Mic Drop is not a karaoke bar. There is no shared floor, no strangers at the next table, no DJ deciding your playlist. Each of the four rooms at Mic Drop is a private, fully designed space — yours for the hour, styled by Kelly Woodyard of The Design Bar Interiors, and built around a single theme executed with complete creative commitment. Pick your room. Pick your songs. The rest is yours.

The Empire Room

The most elevated private karaoke experience on the Jersey Shore.

🎨 The Design

Deep forest green velvet sofas face each other across a Persian medallion rug. Wood paneling wallpaper lines the walls. A brass fringe chandelier hangs from ceiling drapes. Gangster portrait art. A gold floor lamp in the corner. Kelly Woodyard designed this room for groups who want the full private club experience — the kind of room that feels like it was always here, waiting to be found behind a bookshelf door.

🎵 The Atmosphere

The Empire Room carries the speakeasy DNA of the lobby into its most immersive expression. Prohibition-era gravitas, private club atmosphere, the sense that something important is happening in this room. Music sounds different when the room is this serious about itself.

✔ Perfect For

Large groups, milestone celebrations, corporate events, anyone who wants the VIP experience without the shared floor

The Orange Line

A love letter to the game board beneath your feet.

🎨 The Design

A bold red Chesterfield sofa anchors the room. Black and white houndstooth accent chair. Geometric black and cream rug. Monopoly art prints cover the walls — vintage game board graphics, neon green cash hand sign, money-themed motivational prints in bold type. An emergency red fist wall piece adds irreverence. Kelly Woodyard leaned into the graphic language of the game board and made it completely her own.

🎵 The Atmosphere

The Orange Line is the most visually energetic room in the venue — high contrast, bold color, the kind of space that photographs itself. Named for the Orange Loop outside the door and the color group that includes Tennessee Avenue on the original game board. The connection is exact and intentional.

✔ Perfect For

Friend groups, birthday celebrations, anyone who appreciates a room that commits fully to its concept

The Shore House

GTL. Cabs are here. You already know every word.

🎨 The Design

Wood paneling walls. A beach scene wall mural stretching floor to ceiling. Leopard print rug. A plush sofa in neutral tones. Red bean bag chair in the corner. GTL and Karma neon signs. ‘Cabs Are Here’ and ‘Nu Joisy’ novelty pieces. Rubber duck accents. Wave-print flooring. Multiple photos of the Shore — the real one and the televised one — across the walls. Kelly Woodyard designed this room to be fun on purpose, and it delivers.

🎵 The Atmosphere

The Shore House is the room for groups who came here to let go. Deliberately campy, instantly recognizable, and almost impossible to take seriously in the best possible way. The beach mural behind the screen puts you on the Shore even when you’re singing indoors. It will generate more social media content than any other room in the venue.

✔ Perfect For

Bachelorette parties, birthday groups, anyone who grew up watching the show, anyone who wants the most fun version of a karaoke night

Born to Sing

Every legend who ever came from New Jersey is on these walls.

🎨 The Design

Walnut sound-proofing slat walls on two sides. Every other surface covered in vintage-framed concert posters: Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Whitney Houston — the full Jersey Hall of Fame in chronological disorder. A ‘Legends Never Die’ neon sign. A ‘Jersey’ neon sign in warm amber. Guitars mounted below the neon. Brass cymbal wall sconce lighting. Musical wall sconce. Black faux leather sofa. Kelly Woodyard built a room that sounds right before a single note is played.

🎵 The Atmosphere

Born to Sing is the most sophisticated room in the venue — a genuine music lover’s space that earns its references rather than borrowing them. The sound-proofing slat walls are functional and beautiful. The poster gallery is a curatorial statement. This is the room for guests who take their song selection seriously and want the room to match.

✔ Perfect For

Music lovers, couples, groups who want the most elevated room experience, anyone whose playlist includes at least one Springsteen deep cut

Tennessee Ave. Coffee Co.

The Monopoly car. The Monte Carlo rally. The Italian café.

Tennessee Ave Coffee Co. is the connected café alongside Mic Drop, with its own entrance off Tennessee Avenue and its own identity entirely. It is also a nod to the famous racing car token on the Monopoly board — the one that has been circling the same streets as Tennessee Avenue for nearly a century. From that single piece of iconography, the brand draws a line through Monaco, the Monte Carlo rally, and the storied Italian café culture of the racing cities: espresso at a stand-up bar, beautiful objects, craft over convenience, the unhurried elegance of a great cup in a room that knows what it is. The food and beverage program is crafted by Salvatore Spena — one of the most respected names in the Atlantic City food scene — whose menu reflects the same European-inspired commitment to craft that defines the Sidecar identity. Walk in off Tennessee Avenue through the café’s own entrance, or find it through the bookshelf door from Mic Drop. Either way, the room is worth the trip on its own terms.

Salvatore Spena

Food & Beverage Director, Tennessee Ave Café — STAY Tennessee

Salvatore Spena brings decades of Atlantic City culinary credibility to Tennessee Ave. Coffee Co. — executing a food and beverage program that matches the European-inspired identity of the brand. His commitment to craft, quality sourcing, and genuine hospitality is the through line that connects the Monopoly car iconography on the wall to the cup in your hand. Every menu decision at Sidecar is Sal’s. That’s not a small thing on Tennessee Avenue.

TENNESSEE CRAFT AND ART LAB

The Artists Who Painted Atlantic City Are Opening a Studio. You’re Invited In.

If you’ve spent time in Atlantic City, you’ve seen Charles and Randi Barbin’s work — large-scale murals stretching across the cityscape, the kind that stop you mid-block and make you look twice. Their gallery, Dune’s Art Gallery in Brigantine, has been a gathering place for the Shore’s creative community for years.

The Tennessee Craft and Art Lab is their next chapter — a hands-on creative studio at STAY Tennessee that brings their passion for art and community to a wider Atlantic City audience. Make something. Learn something. Take it home. The experience changes with the season and the artist in residence, but the invitation is always the same: come in, make something, and leave with more than you arrived with.

This is not a paint-and-sip. It is a working creative studio run by working artists, inside a building on a block that is becoming one of the most interesting places in South Jersey.

Charles & Randi Barbin

Creative Directors, Tennessee Craft and Art Lab — STAY Tennessee

Charles and Randi Barbin are among the most recognizable creative voices in the Shore arts community — their large-scale murals are woven into the visual identity of Atlantic City, and Dune’s Art Gallery has anchored the Brigantine creative scene for years. The Tennessee Craft and Art Lab is their expansion — a studio space that brings their collaborative, community-rooted approach to the Tennessee Avenue audience.
