    POINT PLEASANT BEACH: Canines and Cocktails has a new location for 2023 at the famous Jenks Club on Jenkinson's Boardwalk! Every Tuesday through the summer from 5:00-9:00pm, come to this beautiful spot right on a fenced-in sandy beach where dogs can run around off-leash and, if you prefer, on-leash. All dogs are in one area (not separated by size). Baggies available at the bar. There are 3 outdoor bars to get a drink and you can order food from a menu with a lot of selections and the servers will bring it out to you. New this year is a doggie menu with a choice of meat, green beans, and carrots. Dogs are not allowed inside the building, but a pet parent can go inside for more bars, food, and restrooms. If it is your first time attending this year, you need to complete a waiver (dogs must be fixed and updated on rabies vaccination) and then you will receive a card to bring with you on subsequent visits that will get you right in. Admission is free! Check out what live bands are playing and when they take a break, the relaxing sound of the ocean will take over. All ages welcome!

    The bartender in blonde was extremely rude to me as well as my guests on multiple occasions to the bar. I asked for a "rum punch". Didn't want a full rum bucket because I didn't want that much alcohol, and she goes "rum punch?? It's a $20 minimum. Figure it out!" Then moves onto the next person. I get that it was busy, but if she were to say "I'm sorry, it's a $20 minimum. Would you want to get 2?" I would have happily gotten 2. Not to mention that I actually had cash on me so I would have just used cash if I would have known. Also, isn't she working on tips? I ended up going to a different bartender bc I didn't want to deal with her, and I advised my friends not to tip her at all since she was so rude. You probably would have made a lot more money that night if you would have just used your words properly!

    Last night was our first time coming to Jenk's Pavilion, and we cannot wait to come back! Definitely recommend enjoying this venue during the day. It gets crazy packed at night! If you come in early (I believe before 9pm?), there is no cover fee. We started our day here around 6:30pm. After a couple drinks, we had our hands stamped and left for dinner. We then came back around 10pm and dint' have to pay a cover fee. There was a small band that was singing 2000's hits and the crowd was loving it! We stuck with the simple house margarita which was delicious. There was a huge selection of beers. We did not order food here, but we took a look at the menu and their prices seemed fair. Thanks to our bartender, Dom! He was extremely attentive, the drinks were great, and when it started getting busy, he was still able to operate smoothly!

    Never seen that many people in one place. Insanity but a great time. They did a nice job with the Jenks beach outdoor area. They have a dj out there and it was a lot of fun. Inside they have a bunch of island bars and a band playing. It gets crowded so hard to get a drink after a certain time. Overall, I had a blast and I would come back. They have plenty of food options on the boardwalk if needed after the drinks. I think the trick is to get stamped early so you beat the line and then you are good for the night.

    Was very disappointed when I went on Saturday night. They raised the entry fee to $20 per head, couldn't get around because it was so crowded. Took over an hour to get drinks. I felt bad for the bartenders. All of the drunk customers were shouting at them when they are just trying to do their jobs. The screwdrivers were great when I did get to the front of the bar, but it was just madness.

    Are you?

    Jenk's North Inlet Café has been a go-to place since I owned my restaurant on the inlet in the days of yore. Park your vehicle in the parking lot if you go during the week it's five dollars, more on the weekends. The parking meters in Point Pleasant or more than expensive. The weather is beautiful...'tis the beach season and time for drinks and listen to the vibes at the shore, sans the crowds. Food is good, their beers are still mundane but it's all about the view & the smells of the Shore.

    Great little gift shop!

    Had a blast sitting at our palm tree surrounded table in the middle of the sand. Love that tiki feel! Writing this review based on a middle of the day experience Been going to this place for eons, pre Sandy. Glad it's back. Their gift shop was a new discovery for me. Loved it! So many adorable welcome signs with a beachy, homemade craft feel which would've cost 5x that price at other places. This is located across the boards from the Jenks bar itself. We ordered a pizza which was humongous. Really large slices! I think one would fill most people up. They are substantial and tasty. The cheese, crust and sauce back East is just hard to beat. They know how to do pizza and Jenk's isn't the best but it's reliable and good. Bar service is self serve. you go to the front to collect your pizza when ready (they give you a buzzer). We had a great time. There's no table service so don't expect a bus boy to fill your waters. It's a casual beach front place where you are really paying for the location but even then it is so affordable! The pricing is very fair and the bartenders were nice and fast. Loved hanging here for a few hours. It's hard to beat beach front real estate, just nothing else like it

    Mozzarella sticks / Chicken tenders
    Ginette P.

    Random summer weekend we were visiting friends, they suggested we come to this beach so we did. The pavilion is where u get food , first day for lunch we got an order of Mozzarella sticks & Chicken fingers along with a large drink. Very good mozzarella sticks, fried yes but not greasy good dipping sauce. the Chicken fingers were good as well you have to ask for the sauces, we got some honey mustard not bad. Through out the day we got drinks here , the Frozen Hurricane good in taste lacked alcohol, better to stick with beer Landshark was a good choice. Next day we were back for lunch I had the Caesar chicken wrap on whole wheat comes with kettle chips, good wrap chips were good as well. also tried the Chicken cheese sandwich this was very good. Later on for the final meal we decided to try the sit down option drinks decent Froze & Landshark beer. On the food I had the Penne ala vodka this was great, nice tasting sauce with some good grilled chicken. also tried the build a burger with bacon, cheese & avocado .. comes with kettle chips great tasting burger. The cafeteria part of this is not bad some decent choices for food, served rather quickly , the sit down service part not bad either we sat closer to the jenks club area closer to the music playing. price wise on both a bit on the high side but with only so many options all being pretty much the same. this pavilion is a nice size, social distancing in place, limited seating inside because of the open air not bad over all for drinks & food.

    Shrimp wrap
    Chad V.

    The location is hard to beat with the ocean views and right along the boardwalk. The drinks were cold and the food was good. The nachos are definitely a conversation item with the amount of cheese on them. My shrimp wrap was good but could have used another shrimp or two in it. The service was good.

    We went here for lunch and it was really amazing ! If you go for drinks try a piña colada but make sure you add a runner ! so good so fresh try not to drink it too fast because you'll get a brain freeze lol we got salads and cheese steak (no peppers or onions ) and they hit the spot. We went at 11 am lol and it started to get crowded for a Saturday ! Last Saturday night we were there for drinks at night and to see the nerds play, it was PACKED in a good way though :) good to get out post covid
