There are plenty of places to make the scene in Asbury
Park. The legendary Stone Pony and Wonder Bar, famous
for giving the world the likes of Bruce Springsteen,
Southside Johnny and Jon Bon Jovi, still showcase upand
coming and established rockers, with occasional
visits from local rock royalty. Wonder Bar is also renowned
for its Yappy Hour, when they play host to our furry friends.
With plenty of fenced-in outdoor space, dogs can meet
new friends, get some exercise, or just chill by the water
bowl, while their humans do some socializing of their own.
Visit wonderbarasburypark.com for an up-to-the-minute
Yappy Hour schedule.
There is a thriving live music scene every night of the week
at downtown establishments in Red Bank as well as the

of the county, you’ll find clubs that cater to the summer
crowds, spots that feature live blues, and restaurants and
supper clubs that offer jazz and piano bars for the more
sophisticated and reserved crowd. Go out and enjoy!
