After doing some research, it seems that the 1 star reviewers of Wonder Bar are primarily upset…read morethat you are not allowed to bring in your children. It seems Wonder Bar has a policy that no one under 21 is allowed in the bar, a policy that I think is more than fair and I think pretty standard when it comes to bars and club atmospheres. There's plenty of other places that cater to children? Confused about this. I had an absolutely fabulous time out on the Wonder Bar patio. We stopped in pre-music festival and were helped by an incredibly kind and smiley bartender. A band had started playing, vibes were high, and the weather was perfect. I love how quirky it is and you can tell it's an institution for a reason. I opted for a standard vodka soda and was happy to see they use Tito's for a fairly reasonable price. I love that they have yappy hours and are super dog friendly as well! I look forward to heading back here anytime I am in Asbury Park! Thanks for the great experience.

The Matcha Matcha Man was smooth, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink -- the matcha coconut cream with the ginger beer gave it such a unique refreshing kick. The Lady Marmalade tasted like sunshine in a glass with the perfect citrusy balance and just enough sweetness from the marmalade. The food menu is definitely more small plates/appetizer style, but honestly everything tasted super fresh and packed with flavor. The coconut shrimp were jumbo and crispy with the perfect sweetness, the mango habanero chicken bites super fresh, and the wagyu sliders disappeared embarrassingly fast. The real star though? The outdoor lounge setup overlooking the ocean. It's the kind of place where you go for "one drink" and suddenly it's three hours later and you're debating ordering another round just to stay for sunset. It's walk in only but wasn't too packed ...we went around 5pm but seems to have a packed late night vibe and crowd as well during summer !

This is strictly a concert review (not bowling). A few…read morefriends and I attended a PJ Morton show. Great venue for a concert, standing room only (not really my first preference these days), parking is available but goes fast (early arrival gives the best opportunity). We did not have the food. The service as far as entering the venue, showing your tickets, etcetera was seamless. Again, there's no vip seating or box seats, it's a bowling alley turned concert venue so general admission/first come first serve rules apply. My only gripe would be how cold it was inside. Of course, the more crowded, the less chilly. But still, you could feel a draft whenever the doors opened. Overall, we had a wonderful time. I'd go again!

The service throughout the night was appreciated, specifically at the bar. I will give my thoughts on each food item tried below. Lomi-Lomi Salmon - This raw dish was tasty. There was solid flavor and tiny pieces of salmon had a melt in the mouth like texture. Kalua Pork - This was very tender with a good amount of seasoning. Sweet Potatoes - I believe these were purple. They were good with having a soft texture too. Mixed Green Salad with Papaya Seed Dressing - This was light and a nice compliment to the other dishes. Macaroni Salad - Again, this was light with tons of flavor. Huli Huli Chicken - These were small chicken wings with lots of meat. They had a slightly sweet flavor to them and were very tender too. Will I go back? Yes.

Just a block away from where we were already having dinner on the boardwalk... extremely convenient. On street parking can be found. Entrance was easy and friendly. Elevator to the rooftop and you're immediately impressed by the layout and beautiful views. We found that service at the bar was quick and easy. Didn't order any cocktails, just prosecco and wine, so can't really review those. Music was decent enough and if you move to the far end of the rooftop past the bathrooms, you can even have a nice conversation without screaming. I'd definitely come back again for a cocktail or two.

We got the doggy chicken with the side of mashed potatoes and the pup cup for dessert. She dogged the chicken and mashed potatoes, but unfortunately wasn't too into the pup cup (which is a shame because it's so cute, but maybe she was full!) Now for the humans -- we ordered the sweet chili wings and a side of the sweet potato fries. The wings also come with a side of carrots and celery along with a choice of ranch or bleu cheese. I loved the sweet chili sauce and kept redipping into it. I wish the order came with more celery and carrots. The food and beers/cider came out rather quickly. The server came by every so often to check up on us and brought napkins without us having to ask! The dessert was amazing; the combination of the ice cream and the ooey gooey-ness of the cookie was the perfect end to our beach day. We barely left any whip cream. Since we went during LDW, the vibe inside was almost opposite what it was outside. But that may carry over during other times. Only downside of this visit was the wait time to be seated...and it was not because there weren't seats available. It was a bit strange standing around while the host wasn't really doing anything :/ But everything else was great!

My brother went with a salad and couldn't stop talking about how outstanding it was, which says a lot. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service.
