Rent was DUE for whoever the DJ was at this bar on Saturday June 28th. Beautiful weather, a strawberry margarita, and banger after banger after banger coming from the DJ booth. 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. Prices here are also really high for bottled margarita mix and flavor mixes that one could grab at the liquor store for $6. 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. Overall a really fun vibe and SO glad we had the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day here with views of the beach. read more

$22 for a bucket and that's all you need, haha. It was strong but very sweet and tasty. Cute spot right next to the beach. Very hot inside the bar area though, no fans etc I felt bad for the bartender. But definitely recommend! read more

We found this bar at the most perfect time because it was a bit drizzly. They had a DJ that played all the pop classics. The drinks were okay and water was free if you ask for it in a cup (not bottled). We had a fun afternoon dancing (everyone was dancing) which was great. There's a bathroom next to the bar but the line is long so make sure you plan ahead of time! read more

Drinks? Good! Beach?? Goooooood! Drinks ON THE beach? The best it could get. The Beach Bar is all open air, basically a pier on the very end of the boardwalk with a few different bars, a DJ sometimes, some tables and relaxed but good vibes. Me and some friends stopped by here while walking home from brunch and wanted to soak in a little more of the beautiful weather. I wasn't really feeling a strong drink so we all got pina coladas and daiquiris. FUN, I know. The bartenders were super nice when I inquired about any sort of mocktails because I wasn't too sure I wanted a drink. But when I saw pina colada on the menu I knew it was the drink for me. It barely tasted like it had alcohol in it which was pretty perfect for me (maybe not the rest of the friends who needed to get an extra shot of rum added). Go for the beach side drinks because there is nothing better. read more

PROS: very nice beach bar that many people gravitate towards. The staff is nice and rush your orders, menu variety is plentiful, and very nice beach views. Place is large which can hold a lot of people CONS: their prices are staggering compared to other places on the boardwalk OVERALL: as long as you have the funds, I recommend coming here read more

Charging for water as the only option at a BEACH BAR is wild and incredibly dangerous. Honestly I think illegal? Give patrons free water- this is such a scam and is ridiculous to only have charged bottle water as an option. read more

Stopped here on a pub crawl a few weekends ago. Pros: Great location right next to the beach at Asbury Park, surprisingly not overly priced which some of the other spots along the boardwalk are! Cons: Very bare bones setup; felt a little dingy inside; had to use public bathrooms just outside of the bar area. Not sure if I'd come here on a regular basis, but the location's hard to beat so I'll probably be back! read more

After a long day on the beach my friend and I wanted to enjoy some drinks. I've been very weary of dining outside due to everything that's currently going on but I felt very comfortable at The Beach Bar. The tables were spaced out and no one was on top of each other. I enjoyed a rum bucket. The view from the bar is really nice and the breeze felt amazing! I would visit here again. read more

If you visit Asbury park beach, then you can't miss visiting this cute beach bar that is very lively. The bar is gay owned, proudly displaying a gay flag swaying with the wind. The drinks are good too but I stuck with Angry Orchard's Cider Rose, this was my favorite summer drink. The music was loudly playing awesome tunes, the beach goers were super happy and dancing enjoying the wonderful summer day. The semi-outdoor lounge has wicker seating and tall bar stools with tables and along side the ledge of the space more stools with ledges to look out at the beach waves while sipping on a cold one and bopping to the beats. This bar is always popping and it is a fun vibe if you're into that type of scene. read more

Omg if you haven't been to be beach bar then you really missing out. Let me start off that's it's always a vibe so just go.. Antonella and Brandon really know how to greet you and make you feel like it's gonna be lit.... Trust me read more

I've come here for years and always had a great time but sadly my current experience just ruined it. Brought our family who is recently new to the US and the security started questioning the validity of his ID because he was not sure what specific ID to show, and then she proceeded to get passive aggressive and rude. Instead of trying to be helpful, her response is "this is Jersey" and "you should have explained to him" and "I don't know who you are". If this is how we treat guests at a place that is supposed to be inclusive and welcoming, then we will go elsewhere. Very disappointing. read more

Nice to be able to sit next to the beach & have a beverage and not be on the sand for a bit. The drink itself wasn't very good though. Bartender was really friendly! Probably wouldn't do it again. read more

I never knew this place existed, until my friend brought me here for drinks before lounging around on the beach. The entire area is outdoors, and is on the edge of the beach, so you can people watch if you like. Service was quick, and they always ask you if you want to make it a double, which can lead to drinking a little more alcohol than you mean to. But seems like a good, basic place to get drinks if you're planning on spending the day at the Asbury boardwalk. read more

The Beach Bar is so loud that you can't even hear yourself think. That, or I might just be too old. Came here with my boyfriend and another couple after a day of baking on the beach. We went for one of their rum buckets. Although they put a bunch of different rums in there, it still doesn't taste that strong - probably because it's 1/2 filled with ice. If you're looking to have a nice drink to cool down after a day at the beach, this isn't it. read more

Never a cover, Great view of the beach/ocean (because you are right on top of it ), Always a drink special, and one of our favorite summer hangouts. Seriously we can't wait to get here after a day on the beach. Come in and grab a couch, bed, or chair on the south side of Convention Hall. You have a great view of the beach, enjoy a nice breeze and good service. If it's firework night (Wednesdays throughout the summer) then get here early because this is the best spot to see them from. Yes it gets crowded and people stay for a long time. Be warned that food is limited here. There are some great apps ( sweet potato fries ) but that's it. I believe the waiter told me that they get the food delivered from Watermark but no confirmation on that. 5 stars for $3 drink specials, no cover, great view, cozy atmosphere and good service! whenever we go, we never want to leave it's so relaxing! read more

Was there on a Wednesday around 3pm. Ordered a margarita & a Tito's with grapefruit juice. The margarita was awful & the Tito's was mixed with lemonade not grapefruit juice. When I asked to trade the drinks in for two Coronas I was rudely asked what was wrong with the drinks..I politely responded and said they tasted terrible. These 20 something year old kids behind the bar do not respect the bartender trade. Drinks are slapped together like a child making kool aid. Sad, I do enjoy going to Asbury but will never come here again. read more

Bottom line: standard over priced beach bar on the jersey shore. Long line: meh. Not much else to say really. Security was OD even during broad daylight, even on a cold day. The prices are high for sure, specially for the quality. Service seemed uninterested. read more

I was here the other day, stopped in for some drinks during the day. No cover which was good, wasn't really busy. got some vodka cranberry's and just chilled looking at the beach and boardwalk. nice atmosphere and service was good read more

I don't know what everyone's whining about, BB is a fun outdoor bar, RIGHT on the beach, with food, drinks AND music. All are welcome, very relaxed vibe. I miss Glen Jones DJing on Wednesday Nights... it's the perfect summer soundtrack for everyone. BRING HIM BACK FOR 2019 PUH-LEASE! read more

Okay, so randomly one Saturday evening we decide to go Asbury Park & honesly, the experience was amazing. The boardwalk is great plus beach bar is a added plus. I had to write the review while I am here. No entry fee, free clubbing kinda thing after 10pm & amazing drinks. Try their rum bucket, it's just the one you want on a beach. Would definitely come here again! read more

The Beach Bar - Night view - Bars Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I love how there is a bar that overlooks the ocean . The ambience makes you feel really relaxed and in the moment . I did not have any issues with the bouncers. They were attentive and did their jobs. The bartender was also very friendly. The drinks were meh . My boyfriend got the cruzan mango on the rocks for around 11-13 dollars .it came in a water cup . I got the cruzan drink with the bucket ( bigger + more alcohol ) and it cost slightly more, but not much of a difference in price. Both of our drinks tasted like they were watered down. If it was a first date, want to breathe in the scenery, or want to hang out with friends, then this is the bar for you . Otherwise , its a skip. read more

Fantastic! We loved the live band on Thursday and met a great couple by sitting on the shared tables. The bartenders were attentive and kind. The view of the beach is unbeatable. I can't wait to go back! read more

The drinks are weak and slightly expensive, but the nachos were good and the view is amazing. Good variety of music as well. I had the much revered rum bucket. Even after pouring two extra shots (at $8 a piece plus the actual bucket set me back $14) I was without the slightest buzz. My friend had several top notch margaritas (4-5 of them at $12 each) and he too was plenty sober. Nachos brought enough to share. Service was ok but then again it was a lazy slow Wednesday night. It was a good spot to catch up with an old friend but I'm not sure I'd ever go out of my way to come here again. read more

We went by at 8:30 and the bartender said it was last call. Seriously? We ended up not even bothering since we were going to have to slam our drinks back and leave. The bartender was nice so that's why they get the 3 stars. read more

At 5:00 on a beautiful Sunday I ran into the most irritating issues possible. The bartender wearing a Hawaiian shirt told me that their kitchen was entirely closed. Not believing that, I asked a server and was surprised when she told me the complete opposite. Finally finding a free table and ordering multiple apps and entree my server returned to inform me that the kitchen was out of every app except the pico and guac. Horrible experience to start off the summer. My food came out less than 10 minutes after I ordered and it was cold and tasteless read more

Horrible food, 18 dollars for a watered down run bucket. Bartenders seem to operate in molasses, had to take our baby off the beach because baby's for some reason are not allowed on sand. If you want cafeteria food and shit service this is your spot read more

We came here for what is probably the last awesome weekend of the summer and it was bliis. We both ordered a dark & stormy with a beer chaser. They use actual Gosling's in their dark & stormy, so that's worth a star right there! We took our drinks down to the sand, took our shoes off and watched the sun set into the beautiful blue waves; it was a magical after work drink and I will remember it forever. Despite being a busy place, it's easy and quick to get a drink, the staff is awesome and they don't give you snide looks for paying with a credit card. Come to the Beach Bar, put your toes in the sand and have a drink for me!! read more

The Beach Bar - Bliss - Bars Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Went here thinking it wasn't crowded and service might be better than our lunch spot. Boy, were we wrong! 1 waitress inside seemed overwhelmed even though there wern't very many full tables. I ordered fish tacos just to be told 20 minutes later they were out. So I asked for a menu again and didn't get one for another 20 minutes. I ended up just splitting my boyfriends meal. Food that came was ok. They charge $8 for a basket of average fries. That's $$. They don't give enough blue cheese for the amount of wings. I ended up going to the bar to get drinks because waitress would disappear. I paid $34 for two drinks, wings and fries and I didn't even get to eat dinner. In theory a cute spot but they have lots to work on. read more

I went to Asbury Park for the first time ever with my boyfriend yesterday and I fell in love. It wasn't the nice beaches, it wasn't the interesting boardwalk, it wasn't the perfect temperature to go sunbathing. No, it was this magical creation he told me about that caused me to fall in love with this place. Rum Buckets. The Beach Bar is set on the outside of the Convention Hall so you get to have a nice ocean and beach view as you enjoy your drinks with a slight breeze going on too. There was a DJ playing, there were a good amount of people there and the service was very friendly! The Rum Buckets though. Guys. You need this in your life. First of all, they're $16 which I think is a little much, but then again it's the whole novelty of it. Plus there's GOOD amount of alcohol in there so the price kind of makes sense. So they pour a lot of Cruzan Rum in there over ice, then put some juices in there. From what I saw/tasted, there were hints of orange, mango, peach, and some other really fruity flavors. I had two buckets and I was GONE. I'm definitely coming back to Asbury next year and I'm DEFINITELY having a Rum Bucket again. Plus, it's literally on the beach. What more could you ask for? read more

The beach bar .... a solid place to go people watch, listen to the jersey shores top play list , have fun drinks, and have crappy guacamole and chips for $13. I give this place 4 stars for the party ambiance and views ofnthe beach. I love coming here and when we are in asbury to enjoy drinks, we defintely Hit this place up! However, the last time we went we made the foolish mistake of ordering guacamole and chips (for 4 of us) at a costly buck. The chips were bland and the guacamole was definitely squeezed out of a tube that had been hanging jn the fridge for too long. It was possibly the worst guacamole ive ever had, and ill buy oremade store guacamole when I cant find ripe avocados, so I know bad guac! It was also a very small amount for a very pricey cost. When it arrived we all made a similar comment. With that said, I wknt let the guac keep me away from going to Beach Bar for drinks, loud music, and people watching. But I'll definitely avoid ever even thinking about getting food there, esp with the quality places for food on AP boardwalk! read more

Ah, Beach Bar. Been coming here since last summer and its a great spot to just sit and people watch and have a rum bucket (or 5). Nice spot right on the beach but this time, my boyfriend and I sat at the Anchors Bend to watch the USA v. Turkey soccer match and to get some grub. The place could use some sprucing up (chipped paint and dusty) but not a big deal for me. Ordered some grub - the poutine and naan pizza. Poutine was SO GOOD though different than I'm used to; added some roasted brussels sprouts and lardon. The naan pizza....eh, it was okay. But those rum buckets.... read more

Absolutely loved this little hidden gem!!!! From the drinks to the service to the vibe this place was on point! You can find this place tucked around the convention hall right on Ocean Ave. Of course I had to try the specialty drink which is called a rum bucket. It was every bit as good as it sounds. A couple of different rums and juices all in a bucket you can take home with you. The bucket is roughly 4-6 drinks so sharing is a good idea. I also got to try the fish tacos, which were fantastic! Perfectly fried haddock with a jicama and cilantro slaw served with home made chips and a mango ketchup sauce! Truly delicious and the perfect quantity. Everything was so reasonably priced and quick! The bartenders were super friendly and really attentive even when the crowd started to grow. The vibe is very beachy since it IS right on the beach. You can wonder off the sand into the bar and its all very chill. They had a variety of music all with a mellow vibe. Not your typical "house" music that you'd here at other cluby type beach bars. Thats definitely a plus in my mind since I could actually hear my boyfriend talking to me while we had our drinks. Seriously could not be happier with this place. Will definitely be going back soon! read more

Great location - it's right inside Convention Hall. Make a right as soon as you enter the Hall (if you're walking towards it from MOGO) and there's usually a bouncer waiting to check your ID. Love the view of the beach, but the menu is really limited in terms of food - there's only 6 different options and I'd rather get something cheaper and more filling from one of the stands on the Boardwalk. The drinks menu has a bit more variety, but not by much. They offer a decent range of beers. Simply put, I'd come back for the atmosphere - it's still probably the best beach bar I've been to in Jersey though. read more
