The Matcha Matcha Man was smooth, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink -- the matcha coconut cream with the ginger beer gave it such a unique refreshing kick. The Lady Marmalade tasted like sunshine in a glass with the perfect citrusy balance and just enough sweetness from the marmalade. The food menu is definitely more small plates/appetizer style, but honestly everything tasted super fresh and packed with flavor. The coconut shrimp were jumbo and crispy with the perfect sweetness, the mango habanero chicken bites super fresh, and the wagyu sliders disappeared embarrassingly fast. The real star though? The outdoor lounge setup overlooking the ocean. It's the kind of place where you go for "one drink" and suddenly it's three hours later and you're debating ordering another round just to stay for sunset. It's walk in only but wasn't too packed ...we went around 5pm but seems to have a packed late night vibe and crowd as well during summer !

The service was prompt and attentive, though it did feel a bit rushed at times, as if they were trying to move things along quickly. The drinks were nicely made and enjoyable, clearly showing care in the cocktails themselves. However, the experience would be much more complete with a food menu. Even a small selection of bites would complement the drinks and encourage guests to stay longer. Overall, it's a solid spot with great potential, especially if they expand the offerings beyond cocktails.

Tiny stage with a small bar and some tables on the back deck. The sound was good and the band, the outcasts, played a good set. It ended at 12:30 which I thought was early for an after party in AP Saturday night, but was happy to have someplace to chill after Dogs in a Pile. 2 gender neutral bathrooms which always had a couple people waiting, but when the band finished the queue jumped quadrupled, everyone had to go before they left. They have a water cooler and free water which was much appreciated. Had to drive so didn't have any drinks but many happy patrons enjoying the tunes. Would definitely stop back again when in the area.

It wasn't the cleanest or prettiest but it was a good vibe and a great time. They have board games and an outdoor area. I would definitely keep this place in mind for another late night option.

To our surprise, they give out free pizza with every drink. Yes, really--order a drink, get a ticket, and redeem it for a personal pie. And it's not just a gimmick--the pizza was actually delicious! Such a sweet deal. The bartenders were all super friendly, and since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside. There was so much going on--games, music, TVs--it really felt like a fun, lively spot. I can only imagine how much more energy the place has on a weekend night or on St. Patty's Day! Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and are definitely looking forward to going back!

Asbury Park is a queer enclave and Beach Bar is an enclave within the enclave. AKA I had the best time and the vibes were high.

Bar staff was really kind, but the prices and the bathroom situation are reason enough to dock a star. They will have two rotating frozen drinks and then a full bar of other fun options.

This is a wonderful place to go on a date or with friends. They have a really unique menu so expect to get something delicious and fun. It's a smaller place so you may want to make a reservation or just get there early. It's on the main street in Asbury PARK so you'll have to find parking. It's across the street from the ale House.

Porta and its parent company Smith Restaurant Group have serious legal, ethical and moral failings…read more They treat their employees horribly and regularly discriminate based on race, gender and sexual orientation. Their general customer service is to give constant attitude to the customer and provide surly, rude and disrespectful hospitality. The Montclair location has some of the worst service workers and management continually allows abhorrent behavior and treatment of the customers. They foster unsafe, discriminatory and hostile working conditions for their employees and allow bullying, harassment, intimidation and out right threats to go untreated. The HR department is incompetent and dangerous. The Asbury Porta location has been accused on numerous occasions to have allowed bartenders to drug women's drinks in attempts to sexually assault them. The culture around this entire restaurant group is toxic, disgusting, dangerous and illegal. I would encourage any patrons to avoid their establishments and send a message that this type of business practice in our communities is unwanted. Additionally, I would encourage any customers or employees who have been impacted by the terrible conditions at these establishments to speak up and take appropriate action. The Smith Restaurant Group should be held accountable for fostering and allowing these abuses to take place.
