While having a family day at the beach, boyfriend and I let little one have some quality time with her auntie and grandma while we went to grab some food and drinks from somewhere on the boardwalk. Someone mentioned this place so we decided to check it out. For those who haven't been here before, you must show id, open up any bags/purses and get a wristband placed on you before entering the space. With it being a beautiful day, it made sense that it was pretty full/packed in there - we were still able to find some good seats at the bar. We both went with frozen drinks to cool us off. They weren't as strong as we were hoping/expecting so we ordered a round of shots also. We were pretty hungry, so happy that it didn't take long for the food to come after ordering. Both felt our seafood was fresh and were surprised at the large size of the shrimp. Food was good standard bar food. The live music group came on before we got our food and I really enjoyed their set. Good go-to spot to check out when at Point Pleasant Beach. read more

$20 cover on a Monday with a thunderstorm in the forecast two hours later, with a dead boardwalk & maybe 50 people on the beach total ... "we're having a beach party today"... are you not usually every day of the summer? With cover bands and DJs and drink specials? I've been here frequently since I turned 21, and as one of those millennials who does not have 3 kids and a collie, I do like to still frequent this beach bar. but for my husband & I to pay $40 to get in the door on a Monday afternoon with a no name DJ & that amount of people on the beach with a thunderstorm on the horizon? and the food isn't that great to begin with? no thanks. read more

Tiki bar is what it is. We had a good visit here in July. It was busy and packed, but we were able to find a spot on the beach and had our bar that we kept returning to for drinks. The DJ was fun and lively, however the food was subpar. I'd recommend getting food elsewhere. I would return, but only if someone else suggested going or a group wanted to get together read more

Had dinner at Martel's on 4th of July. We sat outside and the dj was playing some great music. It was a little busy as it was a holiday by our waitress made sure to check up on us. I enjoyed my drunken clams and sushi. Drinks were very good as well. read more

Love the concept of tiki but the cover charge is ridiculous. Multiple bars make for ordering drinks easy as long as the bar tenders aren't ignoring you. We ordered nachos and I recommend not getting them. They are smothered in fake cheese sauce and the hormel chili from a can. The coconut shrimp was good. read more

I come here at least 2-3x every summer. It's a good spot to be with friends or a date of you're into taking someone to the beach. The entrance is cash only but once you're in the bar is card (no tap) or cash. The area is clean and has a place for water, drinks, and to wash your self off. You can also have some food here. The staff are amazing and super friendly. Of you can, visit on a Monday for tiki Monday. It's a blast! read more

Nice drinks and ambience but our bartender was incredibly rude. Older woman in her 40s or 50s, looked at our bill and made snide comments about not getting a tip, when we were still planning on tipping in cash. Then continued to gossip about us with other bartenders in front of our faces. She made rude comments then walked away without giving us a chance to respond, and made a point to not serve us the rest of the night. Ridiculous, considering we were going to tip her, but she made assumptions before we even left. Even if you feel a certain way you shouldn't be rude to customers. We still tipped because clearly she needed it, but it wasn't as much as we would have given after she was so rude. read more

True Score: 3.5 Stars Huge This place has live music, another level with a DJ and a beach serving drinks. If you love music and the beach this is the place to check out. Age ranges from 25-50. The food is ok, but it's a real chill spot to go with friends or family. This spot is right off the main boardwalk so you have everything right there. Music entertainment, food and drinks on the beach. Biggest problem and it is to be expected is the price. 25 dollar sandwiches for sub par food. 8 dollar beers, 14 dollar weak drinks. We hung here for a football game on a Sunday. 4 of us with food and drinks spent nearly 450 dollars in 3 hours. It adds up quickly, beware. Great location. Thanks read more

I was in this random line for 15 mins when I finally got the front, I asked for the pink wristband because that's what I was told to get if I wasn't going on the beach and it's free to enter. but I was sadly mistaken when the hostess says it's $20 regardless if you're going to the beach or not. they didn't accept applepay nor Venmo. cash only. I was also told I couldn't come back up to the front after I got the cash, I would need to get back in line. we decided to go into the large dining area right next to it which seems to be a part of the tiki bar (idk because there's no clear signage). I was carded at the bar and once my friend didn't have an id on her, they wouldn't serve me. read more

I grew up with Martells so I guess I'm a little biased, but I love flying back home and coming here. The live music that they get is alway top notch. The food is pretty good for a bar. The staff is very friendly. Thanks for all the years of a good time. read more

I was stopped by a security guard standing by the stairs at the Tiki Bar simply because I was wearing a Brazil soccer jersey. When I asked why I couldn't film, instead of explaining the policy, he said, "This is America, and you have to follow the rules." I told him that I am American and asked where the sign was stating that filming wasn't allowed. Instead of answering, he focused on my accent and implied that I wasn't American because of the way I speak and the jersey I was wearing. I found his behavior discriminatory and racist. No customer should be treated differently because of their nationality, accent, or the language they speak. read more

4 Stars Great spot with a laid-back vibe and incredible views! We had a dozen Old Bay steamed clams (perfectly seasoned), a cheeseburger with fries, and drinks--a Red Bull and a Diet Pepsi. The barmaid/waitress was super friendly and attentive, and the service was quick. Definitely a solid place to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy the scenery. read more

I used to live nearby in 1985 until 1993. I used to frequent a Tiki bar often. 35 years later, I returned. I found this place to be ghetto. The workers were rude. A young punk security guard nudged me out of the way because I was standing too close to a walkway by the bar. It was roped off. He was about 20 years old he thought who the hell he was. He was rude and very obnoxious. I'm 70 years old and I don't deserve to be treated like this by a young punk. My son saw him basically push my arm and almost started a fight with him. A manager came over and threatened to throw my son out. I calmed the situation down and the manager walked away. I will never ever return to this dump again. Also, the drinks sucked. They tasted like there was no alcohol in them. This place is a tourist trap. Locals stay away. Point Pleasant is not what it used to be. read more

was hanging out this past weekend. Had to check something on my phone, but no Wi-Fi and none of the workers know what the Wi-Fi is. What a bunch of crap that is. I guess they don't want you on your phone otherwise it'll take away from their entertainment, and some business at the bar. Can't get much greedy than that !!! read more

Don't come on labor day if you expect a full day and night worth of your $40 cover charge per person. While we were mainly on the beach in front of Tiki Bar, there was no announcement as far as we therefore know that they were closing at about 7pm it seems. Glad we didn't give them even another few bucks for another drink when we migrated to the tables near the stage even though we wanted one, the main bar there didn't have the beer on tap that we wanted. I went over to another bar with that beer on tap and asked if that bar is open. I was flatly told "everything is closing". We weren't there for DJ music, we were there for actual musicians and singers once the beach closed. Silver lining is we only split a burger and had one beer each on top of the waste of $80 between us. Service staff and clean up crew were on par to be fair. I've seen another review about a pregnant 30 something woman being denied entry for no ID, but they didn't even check ours read more

Cool spot for drinks and live music right on the beach. Bartenders are relatively friendly and attentive considering how overwhelmed they were with drunk people swarming the bar. The skinny beach margarita was pretty gross. We could barely finish them. Such an overwhelming artificial flavor that had a punch with a cheap tequila flavor. Good beer selections. read more

I've been to Martell a few times and it's definitely not anything to die for, the food is decent but the staff seems to be slow and not attentive, security guys always have some sort of lil dick ego read more

I think this place is a solid 3 stars. Why? -they have booze. -they are in an oceanfront setting. -the bartender was quite good considering he had to handle an entire bar that was packed on an "unseasonably" warm mid-April day. He wasn't the type for friendly banter but he got the job done. -the fries probably come from Sysco or whoever supplies elementary school cafeterias. After a few drinks they seemed quite good. Slightly salty but aren't they always? The draft beer selection is pretty weak. They had patron tequila but the only variety of "1800" Brand was coconut. Nikki loves it, I think it tastes like old school suntan oil. There's always been some band playing every time I've gone. Are they good? I dunno, do you expect a band playing in this sort of venue to be top tier talent? I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tiki bar if you're at the shore and want a drink with mediocre food. For satiety, one would be better off getting a boardwalk slice before or after imbibing, or sticking to bar standby's like the fries or chicken tenders. Then you can walk it off and enjoy your shore day. read more

*** update 9/19/2023 - I am removing one star because this past Saturday I went back to Martell's and after opening a tab, giving my credit card, we left our bags on the table near the stage and walked to the bar near the water to take a few pictures. Once we got back our waitress (Rachel) had moved our stuff to another table and gave our table to another family (probably regulars). There were many tables available at that time. Once I brought this up to her attention she said that we should have informed her we were leaving. So what's the point of opening a tab? I wasn't going to run away! We were gone for less than 15 minutes. *** ** original 4 stars review ** I visited Martell's this past Sunday and was overall satisfied with my visit. Keep in mind that on Sundays it doesn't get crowded like on Saturdays or Mondays (Tiki Mondays) and there are no DJ's so it's a quieter ambiance. If you are looking for a spring break type of party avoid Sunday. But if you just want to have a good time, listen to live music and have a few drinks you will have fun. On the plus side on Sundays it's easier to find parking on the streets nearby and there was no line to get in. If you go on Saturdays I would suggest arriving earlier than 11am. We had a burger which was pretty decent and both the beer and drink prices are also decent. I paid around $6 plus tax for local beer and my wife's Pina Colada were about $10 plus tax. For a Tiki Bar at Point Pleasant beach where hotels are $200+ per night and pizza slices are over $5 on the boardwalk I believe Martell's prices are ok. The waitress was friendly and the afternoon band (Nine Deeez) was great. We had a lot of fun! We didn't stay for the Sunday evening band so we can't comment on that. I will probably return on a Saturday and update my review at that time. read more

My first time at the famed Martell's Tiki Bar. It was really chill and lowkey when we went. We sat on the beach in a nice area and had a few drinks. The food and drink are pretty standard for a bar like this. Reasonably sized and priced and with a good amount of creativity. I personally got a red white a blue type drink with margarita, pina colada, and blue Curacao. Clams of the half were solid and the music was decent. The sound is much better closer to the stage though. Out of the beach area the live band was significantly muffled. read more

Very nice location on the boardwalk, but the food has definitely gone downhill. We had a party of 9 and everyone's food was flavorless and slimy. There was also a $5 cover for everyone to enter on top of eating and drinking. They had a dj but wasn't nearly as popular as the other bars next door. I don't this place should charge a cover considering the food quality and lack of crowd for dancing. read more

We stopped in for a couple of drinks and split a burger. The burger was nothing special, but the fries were at least good. Service sucked but that's because Payton got her tip before we were done eating, because if you sit at the bar when, it's dead and don't open a tab, you pay upfront, so why check on people if you already got your tip. read more

I was with my girlfriends a few weeks ago and we stopped by Martell's Tiki Bar to get a drink and have lunch. The first thing I noticed is you can't just walk in. You have to get in a line and go through security and get a wrist band even if you are just coming for lunch. I thought this was strange considering they have indoor and outdoor seating for food and drinks. It was a weekday afternoon around 12:30p. I sat at the bar and had a good view from my seat of the afternoon band that was playing. This place has an afternoon and evening band. In the fall the bands are on the weekend. I started with one of their signature frozen drinks called My-Ami Vice- It's a combination of a Pina Colada and strawberry Daiquiri topped with the Kraken Black Spiced Rum. I also added a floater.( A test tube filled with spice rum. Once you pull it up and out of the drink the rum tops the frozen drink.) This frozen drink is really good and on a warm day it's very refreshing. For my lunch I chose their SALMON SUSHI BOWL- Scottish Salmon Sliced And Served Over Baby Lettuce Topped With Cucumber & Avocado, Baby Corn, Seaweed Salad With A Teriyaki Glaze. This was really light, delicious and filling. The bartenders were very nice and friendly. The band was really good. I would definitely return to try some other food and drinks. read more

I have been here many times but this is my first review. I was very lucky to find a parking space when I arrived otherwise I would of had to pay to park. When I walked up to the Tiki bar the line wasn't so bad and it was moving. They were very organized and stuck to social distancing. We were seated at a high top and it was apart from the other tables. The hostess that sat us named Lyndsay was so nice and even helped us to get on the beach. Our server was Jill and she was nice and attentive as well. I ordered a drink and I didn't like it too much so she took it back and got another no problem. My friend ordered the yard drink and mozzarella sticks and she liked hers. The pricing wasn't too bad either. When we finished eating and drinking we went on the beach and they kept count of who was on and didn't let people on if they were at capacity. We had to look for a safe spot and we enjoyed how nice and clean the beach looked. Overall I had a good experience. read more

This is for the Lobster House, specifically. DISGUSTING! First of all, You walk in and the room just reeks of nasty old fish, not delicious seafood. The floor is littered with garbage. The table we sat at had no silverware or Napkins or anything we needed for our meal. After they dropped off our appetizer, they still didn't get us any so we had to take from another table, just unnecessarily embarrassing. After we ate, the appetizers and used plates sat at the corner of our table the rest of our meal, no one came and cleared the table at any point of our meal. This is like 5 dirty dishes piled on top of each other, that we had to strategically move around a few times to make room for our food. At one point I saw the waitress take a single plate from another table and the napkin and food fell on the ground. I kid you not, she stopped, looked at it, thought about picking it up, and decided to keep walking and leave it there. It stayed there the rest of the time we were there, about another hour and was still there when we walked out. They could not care less and show zero pride in what they do it seems. Then we get our food and needed a drink refill. We ate half of our food before we had to find someone to help us because I kid you not, our waitress was too busy eating her dinner and looking at her phone to help us . She decided to eat a few tables away so we saw very clearly. I'm no snob but cmon now, help your tables before you break. At least make sure their food is ok and that they don't need anything like, I don't know, SILVERWARE, Napkins, condiments. Being there with your 5-year-old child you just want them to be taken care of but that wasn't even happening. Last, the food. We got the spicy clams in a pot or whatever and there was 0.25 in of broth at the bottom and the top was filled with dry nasty clams. I had the lobster pot which was good, I really liked it, no complaints there. The sushi was decent too. Maybe If the restaurant wasn't disgusting and the staff cared at all it would've been ok. Summary - absolutely disgusting restaurant with genuinely the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. It's pricey and food is average but if you're considering taking your family to a nice meal, I'd highly recommend you skip this dump and get a slice instead. Save your hard earned money, they don't deserve your business. read more

I love going to Martell's in the summer. It's VERY Jersey. If you're from Jersey, you know. It gets loud and crazy but that is part of the appeal. They play good music and sometimes have live music. It's $10 cover but that includes a beach pass. Their drinks are on the expensive side but sooo good. My favorites are piña colada, Miami vice, tiki tea and fresh squeezed. You gotta get an extra rum floater! The food is terrible so don't even bother. Also service takes forever if you want them to bring you drinks on the beach. I would just order from the bar. read more

Martell's Tiki Bar - Caesar salad - Tiki Bars Near Me - Point Pleasant, New Jersey

I hate that I had to give this place a star rating at all. Let's start off with Martell's lobster house. I got there and sat at the bar with friends and the bartender Joanie D. was absolutely nasty, no greeting or interaction. After sit and her walking past me for about 20 mins I finally flagged her down to order she barely stood there to take my full order and in shouting my order as she's walking away. She comes back and tell me I have to pay immediately and after I hand her the card she kind of just flings the book over to us. but there were other people ordering and she didn't ask them for payment ahead. Our food comes out she never checked on us to ask if we needed anything or how it was. Again I had to flag her down and rudely as we're asking her for sauce she walks off again where the other person that was serving with her brought what we asked over. But the men that was sitting next to us she was so cheerful to serve them. Never asked did we want a drink or anything but had security come over because I pulled a drink out of my bag that I was not drinking. Now let's move on to tiki. I used to come here years ago with my friends and we decided to go. We were lounging right next to tiki beach because that where my friends were sitting we go into tiki bar and that when we got a call from our other friends saying that we had to move out stuff as we go to walk out we get stopped by security because of 2 missing wristbands. We're 3 women and explaining that our stuff is over there and we just can't to pack it up to leave. He's being so aggressive and loud talking to us as if we're children telling us he didn't know how we got in but can't exit we need to walk out through the front and walk around when telling him our stuff is right there and we just want to grab it. He then tells another guy to escort us and watch us while we "grab our sh*t" as if we're criminals and did something wrong. For a grown man to talk to women like that yelling over a wristband is ridiculous because I know he would not speak to a man like that. I'm spending my money at your establishment and you're treating me like crap is ridiculous. This place use to be great but it went downhill read more

We were looking to enjoy a nice day on the beach and also get some sea food. The tiki bars signs for crabs, oysters, shrimp and lobster drew us in. Being able to drink on the beach was also a plus. We paid 10$ each to get in which included beach access and seemed reasonable. The drinks and food seemed a little overpriced, but what isn't? My frozen margarita's were good. I was happy about the paper straw but they use plastic cups, plastic eating utensils and styrofoam plates. (There are eco friendly alternatives) The coconut shrimp were really good and came served with a raspberry sauce. My date got the crab cakes sandwich, served with tartar and fries. I got a mahi sandwich, fries with a spicy Mayo and mangos. They we're both ok. There was a live band playing in the boardwalk area, there was a dance floor, a lot of tables and a few bars. As you go down the stairs, there's more seating a DJ. Unfortunately since this place is right on the beach and uses single use plastics, the beach area was dirty. I don't expect people to eat and drink and clean up after themselves, so it was disappointing to see the lack of awareness by Martell's especially since the micro plastics in the ocean were noticeable. read more

Great place terrible staff. Drove 3 hours and was told 1 person in the groups "stumbled". Mind you the guy who "stumbled" was carrying 2 chairs, an umbrella, and a bag. Slightly tripped because of what he was carrying. The security guards name was John and he was awful. John is an embarrassment to this establishment. Martels do better and fire John for causing you guys lots of money and bad reviews. read more

No wonder you are a failing business. If daddy didn't put in the work years ago this place would never exist. Place is horrible, drinks suck, bouncers suck, they are lucky they can afford their bills. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The disrespect I encountered at this establishment has to be the worst I've ever experienced. They are empty on a Saturday night. Looking for business and can't fill a bar, a bouncer(male) physically touched a women. Horrible place would never go back. #failing #forsalesooncsn you police me ió read more

Found myself coming here at least every other week last summer. As the weather started to warm up we've returned and can't stop raving about it! Our last visit was with a party of 13. Everyone had such a lovely time. From the minute we checked in at the front everyone was highly friendly. It was great to see familiar faces such as this one bartender who makes by far the most amazing Bloody Marys ever!! The music was just right! The food is always delicious! The ambiance great!
