Martell’s Tiki Bar

The Jenkinson’s brand runs the aquarium and the amusements too, but the Pavilion is where the adults actually end their day, cold drinks and live music while the Atlantic rolls in.

The Manasquan River provides the boat traffic and Wharfside provides the patio, cold cocktails over the water that make any Point Pleasant afternoon feel like the Shore vacation it is supposed to be.

The Shrimp Box sits on the Manasquan Inlet in Point Pleasant Beach watching boats come and go. Waterfront patio, raw bar, no pretense.

Manasquan Inlet’s constantly active channel view, boats heading out to sea against Atlantic sunsets, gives the Osprey one of the most dramatic waterfront backdrops on the entire Monmouth County Shore.

This is the kind of bar where the person next to you is a regular and happy to explain exactly why, Manasquan’s local character fully intact despite decades of Shore development around it.
