New Jersey has some of the best beaches in America so it’s no surprise that we are also home to some of the best beach bars. We sure know how to make the most of our waterfront! While most of the beach bars that made the cut are located in Florida and Hawaii, New Jersey scored two top spots on the list of twenty-five.

The Beach Bar is located along Asbury Park’s iconic Convention Hall.

Wednesdays are Simply Sinatra Nights, celebrating “Ol’ Blue Eyes” in music, food and cocktails. You’ll enjoy drink and food specials, a special Rat Pack inspired cocktail menu and the music of the famous Frank aficionado, DJ Glen “Jonesey” Jones. Thursday nights, you can groove out to DJ Ari Katz. The menu is limited to appetizers but the nachos are a favorite.

The Rusty Nail in Cape May ranked even higher on the list.

This kid and pet-friendly spot serves up some serious surfer vibes with its laid back atmosphere. Spend nights around the fire pit or play a round of shuffleboard with friends. The Hammer is the drink of choice here, though any beverage is sure to delight. Relax and take in the live music with the whole family, or have fun with friends. Pig roasts, a popular event, will be held every Monday until September 4th.
