KEANSBURG: The Beach Gallery is a unique all-in-one space featuring a restaurant, rooftop bar, cafe, and event venue! We explored their beautiful rooftop, which includes an indoor dining area and two outdoor sections: a laid-back lounge and a lively bar, both offering stunning views of the Raritan Bay and NYC skyline. The full food and drink menu (including brunch) makes it perfect for anything from casual hangouts to special occasions. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome both indoors and on the rooftop, just use the elevator for pet access. A true hidden gem on the Jersey Shore and sure to be a local favorite. read more

I recently stopped by for the Women Who Rock Art Show and I was impressed with the space just as much as the talent displayed! Kathy did a fantastic job curating the show and I enjoyed meeting her. read more

The atmosphere is very nice and picturesque. The service is warm and friendly. The burger was thick and had a slight crust of crispy goodness. The brioche bun had a buttery finish, but I wondered how old it may have been? The cowboy burger came with onion rings as well, that tasted as if it was made in house, delicious. The air conditioning made it very comfortable. The bathroom soap had a pleasant smell. There is a need for a diaper changing station upstairs but was informed there was one downstairs. Would be great place for bringing your guests and friends. The music acoustics sounded great on the first floor. read more

Went for the high tea and the Monet room today. The setting was really nice. We got a window of view where we could see the amusement park and beach outside the window. The servers were nice, but were unable to provide us adequate information about vegetarian options for the food. The sandwiches and biscuit were plated the beautifully. However, the bread for the sandwiches and the pastries were very dry and did not taste fresh. I did enjoy the cream puffs and am partial to the deviled egg. The price was pretty cheap for the experience. Only $38 for the whole thing. I did overall enjoy myself here. Not sure if I would come again though because of the food and tea were not my favorite. read more

Been meaning to try this place. Ended up going this morning to grab a coffee from the coffee shop. Got an iced Americano which was very good. Giving it a 4 star because the coffee shop didn't feel like an established coffee shop. It's essentially the entrance to the two other restaurants up stairs so not a great place to just sit and work. The food is not made to order as it sits in a warmer. Will give it a few months to update my review to see if it's just growing pains. read more

Enjoyed appetizers at their outdoor rooftop bar when first opened Summer 2024. Unfortunately, not everything was ready yet, so limited shade available & didnt have printed menu's yet, only Q-Code. Received free invitation tix for their Kentucky Derby "Party" to take place inside their rooftop bar, 4:30p-10:00p. Arrived 5p, only for 2 other patrons there, bar tender knew nothing about the KD Party, & didn't know when the air conditioning would be fixed. (pathetic ! We left & went down the road to Half Moon & enjoyed working air conditioning, great food & service, & much cheaper priced beers). On way back, we noticed that the rooftop was empty, & there appeared to be a private party with ballon's on the 2nd level. IDK if the room location was changed or not for the KD, but the bar tender not knowing about anything- speaks volumes. read more

Awesome drinks at the rooftop bar area with an amazing view of the city on a clear night.

Great time here I executed a tasting on Bombay Sapphire, food that we had while here was amazing buffet style. The service was quick easy and they made it very welcome for us to come back. The ambience was amazing. Not to mention they had heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon, the night of the Tyson fight amazing time with great vibes and good people can't wait to be back. read more

Very disappointing Mothers Day Brunch. Not enough servers. Food stations were empty. Will not be returning.

Went with family Mother's Day 2025. Severely disappointed. Looked forward to artful ambiance (None). This restaurant does not answer their phone. only text messages accepted, so unable to make specific dining room reservations. Second floor where buffet was was noisy and chaotic. We arrived at noon. Buffet, drastically depleted and much not replenished. We insisted on going to rooftop to escape the chaos. Our waitress tried her best, but it was hard on her to run up and down to the second floor just for drinks. Finally, got a parking ticket from a poorly marked spot. Ugh! This spot has so much potential. What a shame! read more

I will preface this review with, the wings are good. Other than that the place is a disaster and exactly what you would expect from keansburg. A party of your ordered wings and 4 burgers. Not all the complicated. We were there for over 3 hours and every burger was wrong. The waitress was lost, the burgers were ok with the exception of a brown slime that they called sautéed onions. When the check came we asked if there was anything they could do based on a 3 hour wait time, 4 burgers incorrect and a waitress that had no clue what she was doing. The manager was busy eating tacos at a table nearby and never said a word to us. We were given a measly 15% off and zero apologies. I would definitely consider going somewhere else. It's sad because I hoped it would be good, but no deal. Absolutely horrible worst restaurant experience I've had in years. read more

First time in The Beach Gallery, been a long long time since going to Keansburg with fond memories many years ago growing up in the local area. Rooftop was beautifully decorated. Food was very very good, presentation excellent. Wine list was nice and fairly priced, beer list local and interesting. Down fall was the music!!! Too loud!!! and not appropriate for dining and relaxing. Heavy metal and LOUD! Waitress told us had a lot of compliments but owner wont budge. Thats a shame will hurt return business. Peyton our server was excellent , thank you. Will be back once more but if music does not improve will be our last time. read more

We booked a reservation for 11:30am, they did not have our reservation not their system. We were the only ones in the restaurant, we ordered water and coffee and sat for 15 mins and didn't get our coffee. We then ordered flights of mimosas and espresso martinis, the waitresses were fighting while making the drinks. We were sitting there for a long time with nothing besides the coffee. We killed four flies that were around our table while waiting for our drinks. One member of our party had to go see what the hold up was since we were the only party in the whole restaurant. The waitresses were arguing, so we left. Last note, they had a limited menu, everything listed on their menu was not available. I would not recommend this place, it's better to go anywhere else where there isn't flies and servers fighting. read more

I will start off nice: the bacon was good. Now the not so nice: upon entry waited about 15 mins downstairs, waiting to be seated. When we were sat, we weren't sure if it was completely self serve with drinks as well, because no one came over to us. Finally made eye contact with one of the many servers walking around almost seemingly avoiding us, and she gestured to me "one second". I had no problem with that, except it was another 10 mins (on top of us sitting there 10 mins) and my elderly grandfather wanted an OJ so I walked up to try to order at their beverage service station, where I ran into our "server" and she asked where I was sitting and then acted like she didn't gesture she was going to come over, then asked a coworker who's taking our table, like what? Anyway that wasn't even the main issue- the buffet was HORRIBLE. Half of the stuff was cold, gone, or just bad. There was no salad, pastries, syrup, shrimp cocktail, desserts, cheese, etc. it was 12:30, like mid brunch. It was just depressing, and at the end waited like another 20-25 mins to get our check. AND charging $50 pp for that sad buffet and getting charged for drinks on top of it was disappointing. Also, the potential for ambiance was there, but not at all followed through on. I don't understand why they paid this poor dude from Chanel to wait downstairs to touch up makeup all day, and not just include drinks for the buffet, or be on top of it and have food out. Anyway, you could've had us as avid customers but I will not be returning. It was MOTHERS DAY! A day for us children to show how much we appreciate our moms and then that's the experience... she was pissed on a day where everything should be going her way. Very upset. read more

I wanted to leave a review for this new restaurant in the area. I read some of the negative reviews and honestly didn't have the same experience. My wife chose The Beach Gallery for her birthday. We were there for brunch. The ambiance is beautiful due to the views of the bay and city. The staff is young, but they were very attentive and friendly. There was no loud music. The food was good. We had the waffle, French toast tower. Everything was really good. There was a fresh blueberry compote that was delicious. Three of us had the Deluxe Avocado Toast with poached eggs. The toast, avocado, and bacon were all really good. Unfortunately six out of the six eggs served were hard boiled and not poached. This is my only complaint. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and will go back. Wishing them the best. Keansburg has a lot of positive things going on and some really good restaurants opening. Go give them all some support. read more

The WORST experience. Our waiter Mizel was the best but drinks are overpriced with small glasses and limited amounts of alcohol in them. Do not get any fish there as it was the worst smelling tuna and oysters imaginable. Go to Half Moon instead. This place needs to desperately get their act together and be aware of the clientele. read more

We had our daughters baby shower there August 17th, from the signing of the contract to the end of the party every thing was perfect. Michael and his staff went above and beyond. The food, drinks and service were excellent. The guys were at the rooftop bar and also had a wonderful time. Michael thank you for everything. read more

Went there last week for Drag Queen Bingo. The rooftop bar was nice but the bar stools are really really high and they have no arm rests so you really have a hard time trying to get on them. I'm 5'7"- someone who's 5'4" will never manage. I ordered the Bavarian pretzel and it was kinda cold and hard. 2 friends ordered the burger medium - they were cold and well done. Fries were cold too. The wings were ok. Drag queens and bingo were kinda fun. Their soda machine broke so I got charged $4 for a canned seltzer water. I hope they work their kinks out. read more

Was there for drag brunch we ordered in the beginning and then no help. Our section wasn't clean until we said something. We had to go in and order drinks ourselves at the end of the 450 later and disappointed. read more
