The Secret Behind the Magic of The Stone Pony is Community There is something about The Stone Pony that goes beyond music. What made the venue legendary was never the walls, the bar, or even the stage lights. It was the community. In the 1970s and 1980s, Asbury Park became a kind of laboratory for musicians. Night after night, artists gathered in clubs along the Jersey Shore to play, experiment, collaborate, and refine their craft in front of real audiences. The Stone Pony became one of the central meeting points for this growing creative ecosystem. Musicians sat in with each other's bands, traded ideas, tested new songs, and sometimes performed several nights a week. Instead of guarding their talent, they shared it. Instead of competing, they elevated one another. Out of that environment emerged artists who would later become internationally known, including Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, and Steven Van Zandt. They were shaped by thousands of hours playing together in small rooms filled with passionate listeners. The sound that developed in Asbury Park reflected this collaboration. It blended rock, soul, rhythm and blues, and big-band horn arrangements into what many came to call the Jersey Shore sound. Part of what made this ecosystem so special was the geography. Within just a few walkable blocks were other gathering places where musicians and fans flowed throughout the night, including Asbury Lanes, Tim McLoone's Supper Club, and the legendary Wonder Bar, all just steps from the Atlantic Ocean and the Asbury Park boardwalk. Music, ocean air, and a close-knit creative community blended together in a vibrant hub where musicians could play one venue and then wander down the block to hear another band. My curiosity about this history grew from a personal place. Over the past year my son, Chris Renner, a young guitar player who has only been playing for two years, has had the opportunity to perform rock cover songs on stages throughout Asbury Park. Chris's playing has reminded many listeners of the legendary precision and melodic passion of Randy Rhoads. His style focuses on melodic solos and phrasing influenced by classical music rather than typical head-banging metal. Because of the NJ music community, Chris has already had the opportunity to perform as lead guitarist on stages including The Stone Pony, Asbury Lanes, Tim McLoone's, Wonder Bar, and even the Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Show at the Cutting Room in Manhattan. Watching him step onto those stages sparked a deeper interest in the story behind the NJ music scene and the culture that continues to nurture musicians today. One of the most interesting aspects of the Asbury Park scene is how cover music and original music live side by side. Many bands begin by performing well-known songs while gradually introducing their own material. The cover band scene plays an important role. It allows musicians to build stage experience, connect with audiences, and become part of the local circuit. Those shared songs create a common language between bands and fans and foster a welcoming camaraderie. Something even more inspiring has been happening recently. Several of Chris's friends from the local music community have begun forming their own original bands and performing their own songs. Chris loves supporting them, showing up to their shows and cheering them on as they cheer him. This is how music scenes grow. Musicians celebrate the music that inspired them, refine their skills through live performance, collaborate with other players, and eventually discover their own voice. Even today the Stone Pony carries that legacy. Musicians still show up, plug in, and play. Fans still crowd close to the stage the way they did decades ago. Great cultural movements rarely begin in boardrooms or corporate offices. They begin in communities, in small venues, shared stages, and the willingness of people to create together. The Stone Pony and the Asbury Park music community are proof that when talent, opportunity, and collaboration come together in one place, something extraordinary can happen.

We went to The Stone Pony for Halloween to catch the Splintered Sunlight show, and it was an absolute blast! The sound was incredible--clear, powerful, and perfect for the energy of the night. You can really feel why this venue is so iconic. The bartenders were fantastic, super friendly, fast, and kept the drinks flowing even with the big crowd. The whole atmosphere was fun, lively, and full of good vibes from start to finish. Everyone--from staff to fellow concert-goers--added to the experience. If you're looking for a great night out with amazing music, a fun crowd, and top-notch service, The Stone Pony never disappoints. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great place for Rock and Roll! Great service and bartenders. Been going since the early 1980's.

This was my first time at the historic stone pony. I loved. The bartenders and bouncers were nice. Drinks are pricey but that's normal at clubs. The sound quality was great and had a blast read more

Had a good experience at The Stone Pony for this past weekend's Shadow of the City festival. Bleachers were amazing, the crowd was friendly and accomodating, sound was great, and the venue was not oversold. Every staff member I interacted with was kind and getting through security was easy. The major hiccup here is food options. For a no re-entry festival that lasts more than 8 hours (no, I was not there that whole time), the food options were seemingly chicken fingers, fries, or a Philly Pretzel Factory pretzel. Did I eat said pretzel and was it delish? Yes. Does there need to be more food options for a festival of this size? Also yes. Tons of history here and the venue does a great job keeping everyone safe. They had merch booths and activations for this festival, and overall I would absolutely go back if one of my favorite bands was playing in the future. read more

Over the years, the Stone Pony provided a musical haven for the greatest musical artists in the Northeast, especially Jerseyites. My favorite band that played here was the incredible Bruce and the E St Band. There's also another Jersey favorite, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes. Basically, it's all the talent that NJ has to offer. This is a club where you will enjoy the eclectic crowd, the high energy expectations, and the wonderful miscreants dancing with no one but after their own muse. I hope the Stone Pony impresses you as much as my old friends and me. read more

Legendary venue that as a Jersey native, I was happy to finally make it to a show. They really pack people in which as a kid going to warped tours, birch hill shows etc was great but now that I'm a bit older it's not always fun. I did appreciate the bar space in the back which was more open, and the port a potties because trying to make it through the crowd to use a restroom was impossible. The staff is nice, but prices are typically Jersey shore bar prices and make sure you eat before you go, they have a limited supply of $7 soft pretzels. Very happy they hosted Evan Honer, a up and coming musician and that they display a proud heritage of music and local history. read more

We had such a great time here the Sunday of Labor Day weekend 2022 with Southside Johnny and Asbury Jukes playing on the outdoor summer stage. What an electric performance for over 2.5 hours. We danced all night long--such a great crowd. I finally discovered where all the hot women that I went to college with hang out--and they still look hot! It was great to be in this iconic club where Bruce Springsteen got his start before anyone knew Asbury Park. I used to hang in this area in my high school days with my boys looking for Bruce. They have smaller stages inside for other bands before and after the summer stage main act. The other bands were great too. Bathrooms were Porto-potties--hold your nose. The one thing this place can use is better food. I had a grilled hamburger outdoors that was fine, but I was hoping to find quality food here. I don't know why they can't have a great food operator here? I would come again for another show. Parking is expensive on the street. My driver (nephew) told he paid $3.00 an hour to park at the meters. read more

I attended a recent concert at the Stone Pony with Sound Check tickets, and unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired--particularly regarding organization and communication. We were told to arrive for Sound Check check-in between 5:30 and 6:00 PM, which made it sound like we'd be going inside relatively quickly for the event. Instead, we were met with a massive, unorganized line where both General Admission and Sound Check ticket holders were mixed together, with no clear signage or staff guidance. It was extremely confusing, and everyone around us was just as unsure and frustrated. To make matters worse, it was absolutely freezing and raining. Everyone, including Sound Check ticket holders who thought we'd be getting in early, was stuck outside until 7:00 PM--well past the stated check-in time. I was trembling from the cold and genuinely felt unwell. Had we been given accurate information, I could have at least dressed appropriately or brought more layers, but I never expected to be stuck in such conditions for that long. Once inside, we finally got to do Sound Check (which itself was cool), but then had to wait an hour and a half for the opener, and even longer after that before Dean Lewis took the stage. Considering it's a standing-room-only venue, the amount of time on our feet--after already standing outside in the freezing rain--was excessive and honestly pretty exhausting. Overall, the night felt disorganized and inconsiderate to paying fans, especially those who spent extra for a premium experience. The lack of communication, proper signage, and weather accommodations made what should've been an exciting event feel stressful and physically uncomfortable. I hope the venue seriously reconsiders how they manage Sound Check and premium ticket holders going forward. The concert itself/performers were fantastic!! read more

The security guard grabbed me...all of fhe security guards were extremely rude and made me feel unsafe.

I'm sorry, where are the negative reviews coming from? I love the Pony and have never witnessed any security incidents other than one actual troublemaker be shown the door. Other near-troublemakers were let be if no actual trouble was being made! (We had to contain some people moshing a bit hard. Happens.) Bar - check. Security - minimal. Good. Music - loud and some good names. Many places to stand - you can even be in a back room farther from the music or at a back room bar. Atmosphere is super cozy and nice and packed, but nothing preventing a giant mosh pit from forming and being encouraged by the band. I approve. I'll be back. read more

NO MOBILITY IN THE ADA SECTION! STONE PONY SUMMER STAGE TREATS DISABLED PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE SECOND-CLASS Mobility has been described as "the ability to move freely and easily, encompassing both physical movement and the capacity to change one's position or location." The ADA section was a riser/platform next to the stage. Two thirds of the view was obstructed. The left side of the stage had an un-obstructed view. My son (who uses a wheelchair) & my brother got there early & were among the first people on the riser. It was crammed full of chairs with very little room for wheelchairs & other mobility devices (which need space to maneuver). We went to the left side of the stage. The staff person said that we could not go all the way to the left because they had to leave that space open for photographers. There was a 4 or 5 foot space left open at the left side of the stage. My son sat as far left as staff would allow. Again, we were told that the 4 or 5 feet of space on the left of the stage had to be left open for photographers. There were two empty chairs next to my son where staff told my brother & I to sit. We did not have an obscured view in those seats. Within minutes a young woman in a wheelchair approached & was told to sit next to our chairs, where she had an obstructed view. I suggested that my brother & I move so that she could move over next to my son where she would be able to see the stage. Staff said "No." I persisted & after what seemed like minutes of trying to reason with staff, they relented & we moved our chairs & the young woman moved over where she could see the stage, see the concert that she paid the same amount of money to see as everyone else. NOWHERE ON OUR TICKETS DID IT SAY OBSTRUCTED VIEW. We also again offered to move to the left where there was open space & an unobstructed view, but again were told "no, sometimes the ADA section has an obstructed view!" & that the left side of the stage with an unobstructed view had to be left open for photographers (who never showed up, btw). However, staff did not leave a 4 to 5 foot pathway along the front of the riser, leading to the ramp, blocking access on & off the riser. At one point my son had to use the bathroom. Staff acted annoyed because everyone in the front row, including two people in wheelchairs, had to move back out of our way. Problem was, there was no space for them to move because the riser was literally crammed-full of (mostly empty) chairs (for photographers no doubt). We had to squeeze through, between the railing & the folks in the front row. The 500 pound wheelchair couldn't fit through that space & scraped along the railing, which was not strong enough & could have easily been broken by the wheelchair. If my son had fallen off the riser in his chair he could have died. The ADA section at Stone Pony Summer Stage is DANGEROUS. Clearly they care more about the access of photographers than that of people with disabilities, who I might add, are paying customers, who did not know that they were paying for an obstructed view. (If you have ever been to a show in Asbury Park, you have never seen so many photographers in your life. It is the most documented scene in history.) The ADA Section belongs in front of the stage, not on the side with an obstructed view next to the portojohns (toilets). Not in the very front of the stage of course, because of the mosh pit & the area behind the mosh pit, where most of the audience stands to watch the show. Put it behind that space. It would be elevated, so that folks using wheelchairs & other mobility devices would be able to see the stage. The people staffing the ADA section need ADA training. The particular staff who we dealt with needs sensitivity training as well. Actually, she should not be working in the ADA section period. She touched the control mechanism of my son's wheelchair & tried to move him. I said "Don't touch that." & she immediately put their hands on the controls of another person's wheelchair and moved them. This is unacceptable! ADA 101. It's not OK. The ADA section needs to be moved so that everyone in the section can see the show they paid to see & it needs to be staffed by people who are more sensitive & know what they are doing. read more

Ive been to the summer stage twice now and its a really beautiful venue. There is a lot of space, it never feels crowded and there's a good view from every angle. I was just there tonight for sad summer fest and during the Maine's set I was feeling like I was going to pass out so I went to the bar and asked for juice and the man working ( I didn't catch his name unfortunately) was my guardian angel. He was muscular with I think blonde hair and a backwards black hat, maybe some tattoos but I was legitimately about to pass out so I can't really remember. I started drinking the juice before he even finished filling up the cup. He gave it to me for free and I tried to pay him back once I was feeling better but he was just glad I was better. There was an emt nearby who gave me a water bottle as well. It was just a very pleasant experience considering it was my first time at a concert by myself. Thank you to whoever that bartender is, you really helped me out. :') read more

Pictured is Mike. Mike did an exemplary job tonight preventing me from entering his fine venue. I was obviously trying to weasel my way in by making up a story about wanting to quickly say hello to an old friend who manages the band (which had already finished playing). His reasoning of "you need a ticket" made total sense considering they weren't selling tickets at the venue and online sales had already ended. Keep fighting the good fight Mike! You're doing great. Asbury is a safer place tonight thanks to your efforts. P.S. Those other people I watched you let in without tickets were much less threatening than me so I get it...no hard feelings. read more

The Stone Pony - Kim Petra's at stone pony - Music Venues Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Picture yourself at the Cavern Club in Liverpool where the Beatles first played in 1961. Take it in for a minute, swaddle yourself in the Merseybeat, and upon absorbing the primitive skiffle through your pores, wake up and acknowledge it for the dump that it is. If you've done that you've also been to the "legendary" Stone Pony in Asbury Park. But, but, but, but... Mike, you're being a dick. You do know that the Mount Rushmore of New Jersey rock - Bruce, Clarence, Southside and Jon Bon Cheesi once trodded this holy ground chasing the elusive Sandy and all the "factory girls who promised to unsnap their jeans." So what... after five minutes of breathing in the heady incense of wailing saxophones past, what you're left with is a pretty crummy dive bar that serves lousy food, thin drinks and is as cramped, uncomfortable and overpriced as any venue on the Jersey Shore. On most nights the acts are as obscure as traceable gin in my glassful of lonely tonic. My advice, if you're coming here to channel Born to Run, save the trip and just download the damn thing. Frankly, I've had more fun drinking warm beer on the hood of a Dodge. read more

To anyone thinking about coming here, the security does not reason logically. their egos prevent genuine conversation, and there is no one to put them in their place. Without breaking any rules we were made aware of, we were dragged out of the venue mid concert because a friend (without a wristband) was holding my drink while I was ACTIVELY putting on the BANDS MERCH we were there to see. They grabbed the drink out of my hand and threw it in the garbage, a drink i (legally) just bought. They are rude, disrespectful, and fully tried to use their "power" to threaten us (again, after breaking no rules . Absolutely ridiculous and I would never recommend to anyone who cares about the quality of service that they get. read more

I tend to not review venues because what is there to say? I just want to add that this place has history and is pretty rock and roll. It's not overly gross and the sound is actually pretty good for a smaller place. Besides each bands merch they also sell their own merch. The security is pretty on point in this place. Coming from NYC this place is in the sticks and only worth it if it's a band you must see! read more

HUGE thank you to Barbara in ADA. I recently had spine surgery but had already purchased tickets and figured YOLO. With that being said I'm so thankful for the disability section and Barbara from security who was in charge of this section. She was so kind, caring, and genuinely happy to help and always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and having a good time. There was a young woman in the crowd who was knocked out and Barbara was the first one on it getting medics and additionally security in to help. The rest of the night she was asking if we had seen what happened as she was so concerned for the girl. Again, so genuinely caring and kind. I hope to see her again at another show and Stone Pony you are lucky to have her! On another note, drinks were great, affordable, and bartenders were fun. The Jell-O shots were delicious and strong. read more

I really like this venue: it feels very intimate, but there is still plenty of space and it has great history which adds this extra layer to your experience there. There are usually around 4 bars and if it's nice enough you can even hang out outside before the show. I appreciate how low and accessible the stage feels to an audience and even if you're not in front of it you're still close by. The staff could be nicer: they were pretty no nonsense and not particularly friendly. The security woman pulled out water bottles from the trash to smell what was in them. Overall, I would say that I do really like this venue despite the weird encounters with staff and security. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with last minute tickets to go see Minus the Bear over this summer and we had an awesome time. I really enjoyed this venue, I felt like you got to be super close to the performers up on stage and the vibe was really relaxed even with a packed house. The sound quality was pretty good too. The bar area is located in the center as soon as you walk in the door. It was pretty difficult to grab a drink with the place being so crowded but after waiting about 10 mins you can weasel your way in. As expected prices were steep but i expected to pay a little more. Over all I enjoyed it and liked that there was a lot of parking in the area. I would come back. read more

I've been coming here since I was 17. The STONE PONY has a history like no other Beach Bar around. Rock n Roll clubs are becoming a dying breed in New Jersey. How do I know, my dad had a Rock n Roll club right down the street from the STONE PONY in the 70's and I know first hand what New Jersey used to have, and those clubs are no longer around. This place is where Bruce Springsteen got his start back in the 70's along with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes Band. When you walk in you can just see all the nostalgia up on the walls. Many of the great bands and musicians have played here or got their start. During the summer months The STONE PONY has outdoor Summer Concerts. My friends and I came to see SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND THE ASBURY JUKES BAND. . This band had been rocking for more then 30 years. I could tell by the crowd that many of these people have been around the circuit for years. It was a wonderful night with perfect weather. The warm up band was REMEMBER JONES. They too, put on a great show. Local bands played inside the Stone Pony before the big headliners. Promised Land (formerly Saints in the City) at 4:30, late show with Dino Petraccio & the Intruders. The crowd was warm and friendly, no one got out of hand. It was very organized and lots of security all around. They had plenty of port-o-potties around the entire outdoor stage. There was food concessions, and several outdoor bars set up. We never had to wait more then a few minutes to get a drink or use the facilities. The sound system was also very good. You could here the bands playing for miles around. I think the hardest part of the entire venue is parking. Since Asbury Park is also a beach town, and the Stone Pony is directly on Ocean Ave across from the beach, it can be very hard to find parking. There are many lots but they were so full that one of my friends had to park quite a distance. I recommend when buying your tickets online you purchase a parking pass, especially if your coming to see the summer concerts, or if coming with a group you get UBER OR LYFT. In the winter the parking is not as bad. All in all this is a place definitely worth coming to if not to see a band, but to see and be a part of the Jersey Shore History. read more

We saw the black crowes and the audio was horrible. I couldnt make out a single word chris robinson was saying and all i could hear was drum and bass. What concerns me way more than any of this was the lack of security at the front. They patted our pockets...thats it. No metal detector however there was a bag check, which i walked right past and wasnt stopped. I held my pocket items in my hand, and they werent concerned with that either. Anyone couldve brought a gun in here, literally anybody. How many shootings does it take to take this matter seriously?!? read more

Literally got kicked out for tripping up the stairs I was so upset. It was a cute venu but I probably would not go back because the security couldn't even give me a reason to why I got kicked out.

Last week my fiancé and I went to see Mihali and Trevor Hall! Excellent show, Trevor Hall never disappoints. The venue however irked me a bit. We were so excited to be able to attend a show at the legendary Stone Pony. The venue was a small indoor/outdoor dive that had several bars throughout and lots of history on the walls. We got to the show an hour early and were very close to the front of the line - pretty much guaranteed a front row spot. A little after 7:00 when the doors were set to open, the workers come outside and tell us we are actually at the BACK of the line. Instead of leading everyone around, the entire line just rotates and we get in dead last. I couldn't believe it. We had a terrible view of the stage for $55 (2 tickets) and an hour of waiting in the sticky weather. Also, I'm sure this is to be expected when you pack so many people in a tiny room in the middle of summer, but the room was so hot that the ceiling was dripping with condensation. This kind of grossed me out - maybe they could work on ventilation a bit. Lastly, at the end of the show the band always comes out and hands out their hand written set lists and talks to the fans. I've been to three Trevor Hall concerts and this has been the case each time. But when the band went back stage after the show the workers of the venue went on stage, picked up the set lists, and gave them to random people. Then the band came out and looked for them for a few minutes before giving up and just engaging with their fans. Someone finally told them that they were already given out. How annoying... I'm glad we went and nothing about a venue will ruin a concert for me. I know these places are always rough around the edges, and for the right Performance I'd be back. read more

The Stone Pony is not just a place that I visit when I'm craving my live music fix and am in the mood to dance. It's an NJ music staple. I've grown up going to shows here and still continue to do so year after year. Apologies to Mom and Dad for schlepping 40 minutes out of your way to drop me here during the pre-license era. It was worth it! All sentiments aside, this place is DAAAA ISH. It's been around for decades, but like a fine wine, has only continued to get better with age. If you are expecting something fancy and new, then turn around and go home. It's a hole in the wall. It's small, outdated and not that clean and I'm the first to admit that. However, this is a rock and roll mecca. The pony books some of the best names in the game and there's always lots to be excited about on their calendar. The summer stage is in a league of it's own. As previously mentioned, it's dingy on the inside which makes their outdoor stage a huge draw for most. Located directly next to the beach, there is no better place to listen to live music while watching the sun set over the ocean. They usually bring in rock/reggae acts that mesh really well with the beach theme. Because beer can get pricey at the outdoors vendors, I suggest kicking a few back at the nearby Wonder Bar before a show. read more
