Things To Do
Wonder Bar
The Wonder Bar is an exciting, popular nightclub and grill which is a favorite gathering place for locals, visitors, and even a world recognized destination for international guests. Like The Stone Pony, the musical history of the Wonder Bar is associated with such famous local legends as Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Clarence Clemons, and many others. It's also home to Tillie, pictured with Tony Soprano above, the unofficial mascot of Asbury Park.
Asbury Park Convention Hall
Convention Hall, along with the adjacent Paramount Theatre and the Grand Arcade connecting the two, is one of the most majestic landmarks on the Jersey Shore. Over the years, this historic entertainment venue has hosted performances by Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, and the Rolling Stones, just to name a few. Located on the boardwalk, inside you'll find great shops and food to enjoy!
Talula's
Forget Porta, this is the best pizza in Asbury Park! They're known for their sourdough Neapolitan pies, but everything on their menu is delicious. Plus, they serve great cocktails and have terrific vegan and gluten-free options.
Confections of a Rockstar
Have a sweet tooth? Visit this offbeat, celebrity frequented, rock ’n’ roll–themed cake shop with sidewalk tables & a menu of cupcakes, cookies & buns. It's amazing and the owner Kimmee is the coolest (naturally, she owns a Rock & Roll themed bakery)!
Rebel Supply Co.
With an edict of Life, Liberty and Affordable Fashion for all, this Cookman Avenue fashion hub offers new and recycled fashion, accessories, junk market finds and local art. It's a great place for Asbury Park souvenirs and NJ-themed apparel (with a heavy emphasis on Springsteen), and more.
Paranormal Books & Curiosities
Opened in the summer of 2008 as a way to bring paranormal enthusiasts together to share in the journey of exploring the realms of all things paranormal. They are home to both a bookstore as well as a paranormal museum!
Pascal & Sabine
Original craft cocktails & French comfort food presented in a modern brasserie with a cool vibe. Very glam!
R BAR
R BAR opened in early of summer of 2021 and probably Asbury's coolest new bar & restaurant. While it's a bit off the beaten path, it's worth the trek for great drinks, food, and their fabulous patio and upstairs deck!
Asbury Lanes
A recently-renovated bowling alley and bar with live performances. It is one of the many historic music landmarks located within Asbury Park!
The Stone Pony
The Stone Pony has earned the designation as one of the greatest rock clubs of all time. For good reason, the club opened in 1974 and has been steadily rocking ever since. Considered a musical Mecca by many, The Stone Pony has helped launch the careers of many of today’s top musicians and bands. You've heard of Bruce Springsteen, right?
