7+ Creative Collabs Bringing Local Flavor to Ocean’s Birthday Bash

When you’re Ocean Casino Resort and turning seven, a simple birthday cake won’t do. You need flavor. Art. A bit of sass. And a whole lot of local love.

This summer, the Lucky Summer of Sevens comes to life through creative partnerships with Atlantic City’s best makers, bakers, brewers and dreamers. From custom hot sauce to boozy chocolate bars to immersive art installations, these exclusive collabs are packing the property with unforgettable tastes, texture and take-homes.

Here’s how Ocean’s 7th birthday is staying deliciously extra—with a side of local flair.

Hank Sauce x Ocean: Heat with a Side of Sweepstakes

Born in Sea Isle City and beloved by locals, Hank Sauce is back at Ocean with a custom hot sauce: Across the Boards. Available now at Bottled and ShopOceanAC.com, it's the ideal pairing for summer eats—or your suitcase.

Even hotter? The Get Lucky with Hank and Ocean Sweepstakes, where you could win Hank Sauce for a year, a two-night stay at Ocean, VIP access to HQ2, spa passes and more. Oh, and High Steaks is serving up a limited-time Hank Sauce menu item for full flavor immersion.

The Seed: Seeds of the Ocean 7.0

Ocean's annual collab with The Seed: A Living Beer Project returns with Seeds of the Ocean 7.0, a crisp pale lager brewed with local ingredients and crafted for community, conversation and relaxing time away. It’s clean, floral, lightly bready and best enjoyed with friends—or your toes in the sand.

Find it this summer at The Seed or select spots across Ocean Casino Resort.

Samantha Carell + The Noyes Museum of Art

Art gets the spotlight this summer with an exclusive Samantha Carell installation in the Lobby Level’s Guest Elevator Foyer. Her massive 160"x80" piece—featuring sculptural 3D umbrellas and vibrant acrylics—is a tribute to coastal life, color and movement.

Ocean is also collaborating with The Noyes Museum of Art for:

• A custom mural at the new TopGolf Swing Suite, Bar & Kitchen entrance.
• Custom artwork for the 7th Birthday Sweepstakes Instant Win Prize (AKA: the bucket hat everyone’s going to want).

Little Water Distillery: Chocolate Cherry Martini

Crafted with local pride and award-winning 48 Blocks spirits, Little Water Distillery helped Ocean stir up the ultimate celebratory sip: the Chocolate Cherry Martini. It’s indulgent, rich and dangerously smooth.
Find it at:

• Birthday Bar
• Lobby Bar
• Gallery Bar 
• and our fine dining restaurants!

Jetty INK: Limited-Edition 7th Birthday Merch

Celebrate Ocean’s milestone in style with Jetty INK’s limited-run tees and crewnecks. With a custom graphic that captures the energy of the Summer of Sevens, these pieces are exclusively available at Bottled and ShopOceanAC.com. Limited quantities. Maximum birthday vibes.

Tony Boloney’s + MadMutz: Cherry-Picked & Craveable

This isn’t your average pizza party. Tony Boloney’s + MadMutz have cooked up a birthday lineup that breaks the rules—in the best way.

• The 7 ’er Bust Pizza: Bourbon-soaked fried chicken, MadMutz mozzarella, bourbon sour cherry sauce, and smoked white BBQ drizzle.
• Mozzarella Sticks: Try the “Hottie” flavor at Villain & Saint, Jalapeño Popper at TopGolf and the Ocean Food Truck, and the Nonna’s flavor via in-room dining.

Available exclusively at Tony Boloney’s—just 3 blocks from Ocean.

Blissfully Liss + Making Waves: Jewelry That Charms

Blissfully Liss is back at Ocean with beachy, boho charm jewelry that celebrates the spirit of seven. Look for the Lucky 7's Charm Bracelet and Necklace, created just for this milestone  exclusively at ShopOceanAC.com.

Cute, coastal and perfectly collectible.

Bar 32: Three Ways to Indulge

Ocean’s long-time chocolate partner Bar 32 knows how to celebrate a birthday—with style and sea salt. This summer’s limited-edition chocolate bar lineup is available for purchase at Bottled and includes:

• Birthday Party Pretzel
• Salty Peanut Butter
• NEW! Chocolate Covered Cherry

Premium ingredients. Bold flavors. Zero chance you’ll want to share.

Mr. Finger’s Alibi Gin: A Spirited Tribute to AC’s Past

What’s more Atlantic City than bootlegging history with a modern twist? Mr. Finger’s Alibi Gin brings that Prohibition-era energy to Ocean with a new signature cocktail: the Fingers Crossed.

Crafted with Alibi Gin, served in a highball, and topped with a speared cherry (of course), this limited-time libation is available at:

• Linguini By The Sea
• Birthday Bar
• Lobby Bar

It’s smooth, cheeky and just a little mysterious—kind of like a good alibi.
