10. Kelly's Tavern

If you find yourself in Central Jersey and are looking for a place to truly maximize your Jersey Shore experience, you've got to check out Kelly's Tavern. Multiple beers on draft and in bottles, amazing memorabilia on the walls, and sports all over the place not to mention very salty heavy popcorn, all add to the imbibing pleasure. This is a great place for a date night or a night out with friends. I was there with my best friend and found that there were groups of friends, families, and couples eating out or even on dates, and everything blended together perfectly. Plus there's a nice outside region which also often has little bands playing While the beer is cold and amazing the food is even better. Huge menu with multiple options all of which are excellent. Better yet, prices are reasonably affordable.After an amazing day at 1 of the great beaches in this area, and there are many by the way, what better way to top off the experience than with a trip to Kelly's Tavern. It will be crowded and there will most likely be a wait in the summertime. But that is with very good reason!

We have lived in the area for many years, but didn't give D'Arcy's a go until last year. We had heard good things from friends, so we were hopeful when we first tried it. Thankfully, we were not disappointed and after many visits since then, D'Arcy's has not disappointed us. D'Arcy's has some of the best pub food in the area. The dishes are so much better than those from a typical pub. The Wild Scottish Salmon is always delicious, Juan's chicken and the Baja Fish sandwich are excellent choices as well, and the Goonerholic Burger is AMAZING!!! The downstairs area has a typical pub feel, but the upstairs area, which is small but has its own bar, has been nicely renovated and the atmosphere is very beachy. The outside deck is also a perfect spot to eat on a nice day. All of the staff at D'Arcy's are great... our only complaint is that the entrees are often brought out a few minutes after receiving the appetizers. Not a big deal, they just need to time it better in the kitchen. All in all, we are big fans are D'Arcy's and are always happy to return!

Not just in Asbury but probably the world. Maybe it's because I've been coming here as long as I could legally be let in but I just associate Bond St. with home. It's almost always where I start and somehow end my nights when I go to Asbury. The drinks aren't anything special and neither is the food really. It's just a truly genuine Jersey Shore experience and now that they have the giant basement annex with ping pong, etc. it's truly become the spot to be at. Another cool part about Bond St. is the difference in age among the patrons. A lot of college aged people but also plenty of middle aged folks as well which is at least to me pretty cool. Sex Bingo is cool too.

The Iron Whale, located on the Boardwalk in Asbury Park, features a rustic, yet contemporary design in the spirit of seafarers, with prominent reclaimed wood, ropes, and gas lanterns. The menu features inventive takes on seafood and it also includes a wid

Cheerful greeting and prompt seating with boardwalk/ocean views from most tables (outdoor boardwalk option in season). Good bar. We shared a good New England chowder and ordered lunch from a tight menu with something for most tastes, from a frittata to burgers and salads. Enjoyable setting, food and service. Only few hundred feet south of the Asbury Convention Hall makes it a pick before or after events.

Tried to go to Johnny Mac's with my 23 yr old son with autism and they refused service. I asked if they actually refused service to people with disabilities and they said "sorry it is the rule." Amazing that an establishment in this day and age would refuse service ( and my son was not drinking), based on a disability. So sad... avoid this dump at all costs.

Tried this local restaurant for lunch. The bar and dining areas were evenly divided allowing for privacy and quiet. Our party of seven was seated quickly and approached by our waitress. Nice lunch menu providing options from small plates, sandwiches, pasta and seafood. Our choices were served together and as ordered. Nice selection of beers on tap.

I visited on a hot Thursday afternoon. It was not busy. I enjoyed the quiet ambience. I imagine at prime time the place is lively. I saw dogs enjoying a meal on the outdoor patio with their people -- and I applaud dog-friendly restaurants. That made points with me even though I had no dog with me.There was one woman serving as hostess and server. She was very pleasant and welcoming. I had an order of deviled eggs and a plate of buffalo wings. The eggs were OK. The order of wings is large -- plenty for a meal. I also had a glass of red Sangria -- it was the best part of the meal. Laurel and Hardy movies were looped on the television. I would like to return here to try their entrees. But, for pub grub like I had I rate it pretty good.

The bar featured local bands which played one set each and the vibe was awesome. Shout out to 4 Non John's as the performed a mix of classic covers. The bar has a "Yappy Hour" dog friendly portion during Happy Hour and it was fun watching the dogs play in the pools and with other dogs.Thank You so much...So happy you liked it...Next time bring your Dog to play!

Tried this place for the first time on our way home from a trip. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves so how could the service be bad right? We ordered an appetizer to split the I got the salmon Mac n cheese and broccoli. My husband got a sliced filet mignon sandwich with Mac n cheese. The appetizer never came. Our dinners came out. My husbands meet was rare he had asked for it medium. The broccoli was pretty much raw. The drink I asked for was not very good. Def did not taste like top shelf vodka. I was disappointed

I struggle with the rating as the food was really great. As a German I can say that it was very authentic. The Wiener Schnitzel was tender with a crispy breading. Potato salad and cucumber salad with mustard dressing tasted like home. The WeiÃwurst was like in Bavaria. Now here is what it spoiled it. The service was one of the worst I ever had. Nobody seated us as we entered. It took an eternity before we were asked for our order. They brought the wrong beer and instead of simply apologizing tried to defend themselves. After we got our food we never ever had the chance to oder another drink or were not offered any dessert. I hate eating on such a hostile atmosphere!
