ASBURY LANES
204 4th Avenue
www.asburylanes.com
The Asbury Lanes (photo above) is the latest, greatest thing to hit Asbury Park. No doubt the best music venue in New Jersey. Punk rock, straight up rock n' roll, garage, rockabilly and more. This place is a retro 1960's bowling alley turned into a rock club. Although you can still bowl while bands are playing on a stage smack dead in the middle of the lanes, play pool, drink cheak Pabst Blue Ribbon, hang out in the lounge, eat food at the sushi bar and dance your ass off all night long. A must stop if you're in AP.
