Sweetwater Casino

The Sweetwater Casino, located in Mullica Township, New Jersey on the Mullica River and established in 1928, was known for its riverside deck, catering, event hosting, local nightlife, as well as being a gathering place for families to spend meals for generations. Never a real casino however, the Sweetwater was established by a local family as a restaurant in days before distance travel was common.

The Sweetwater was destroyed by a fire on June 30, 2008,[1] ignited by a lightning strike in the early morning hours.[2] Plans to reestablish the Sweetwater have been mired in legal and logistical delays. Currently the site is used for local festivals and other outdoor gatherings.
