While I hate to give any historic building like this a low rating I can't honestly give it more…read morethan two stars without completely lying. Is it a cool old building with some beautiful details? Sure. Is it a good venue for any show with sound? Definitely not. Is the building one giant safety hazard by modern standards? Ummm...I'll leave this one up to who ever is handing out C of O's in Asbury Park. When I saw that Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes were going to be showing their new film at this theater I scooped up two tickets for me and my husband. There wasn't much detail on the tickets besides the start time of 6pm. When we arrived around 5:30pm we were greeted to a huge line that wrapped in front of the theater and down Ocean Ave. Turns out the doors didn't open until 6pm and the show didn't start until after 7pm. We were about midway on the line and when we got to security the guy in charge of security was yelling at everyone checking bags and people to speed it up. My bag was barely checked and they didn't even use the metal detector wand on my husband. Can't even imagine that they checked anyone at all after us. We walked upstairs and decided to grab a couple of drinks and snacks. Again we were greeted to huge lines which only got worse when everyone else started coming in behind us. We walked in to go to our seats. The usher was very nice and overly concerned about telling us where not to step and to watch our step. I didn't really notice the lack of handrails until we sat down. The railings in the balcony area are definitely not adequate. They are either extremely low or non-existent. Although the rows have a decent amount of space in front of you the actual seats are very small and on top of each other. My biggest issue here is the sound. We saw a movie and people speaking on stage so it wasn't as bad as I imagine any kind of music performance would be. There was no speakers at all in the balcony area (unless they were off). The only speakers I noticed were on each side of the stage. When the movie started it sounded like we were watching a bad bootleg. The acoustics in the theater were awful. I think this could be an amazing theater once again but it needs some major work throughout to get there.

It's a unique space, great for getting out of the summer sun (or winter wind), but it can also be a bit disorienting as the sound bounces all over the place and many of the shops have different hours. Still, it's a unique building, great for browsing, shopping for knick-knacks, or a decent meal. It's not my go-to area for shopping or food, but if you're by the beach, it's not bad at all!

The open space also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Asbury Park Bazaar that highlight local makers and small businesses. One note to know before you go: the main sit-down restaurants no longer allow dogs due to the landlord's rules, but there is still plenty to explore and enjoy with your four-legged friend.

Love that this venue is small / independent and they have a ticket kiosk & sell tickets directly so you can avoid "ticket fees" which were an ~40% upcharge ($9.05 "fee" on a $25.00 ticket) Def recommend buying directly from this great venue and avoiding those ridiculous charges. They also put out free cold water and cups for guests, always a welcome amenity. I'll definitely be back to see more shows at this fantastic club!

We could barely move in our seats, and when the show required people to stand, it was chaotic. People actually had to crawl under the table just to get out, to get a drink, food or go to the bathroom, which seemed like a serious fire hazard. There was no table service. The show itself was just as bad. The prizes were bizarre and low-quality. Things like dildos and a cardboard cutout of Snoop Dogg, nothing like the prizes you typically get at this type of event. Overall, I can't say much good about either the show or the venue. It was uncomfortable, unsafe, and not very enjoyable.

All this was made even better by the staff especially Stephania who made the first stop at a bachelor party that much better by going the extra mile for our group and making sure we had a great time. Id surely recommend coming here for quality wholesome entertainment. The building is like brand new inside and would be an amazing place to rent out to watch sports with a large groups especially if they made it byob which might be in the works and would take this to the next level for adults anyway!

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.

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!
