About Us

Some places do one thing well. Asbury Lanes does five things brilliantly. Tucked on 4th Avenue in the middle of Asbury Park's creative corridor, this spot has earned a 4.4-star rating from over 1,000 visitors by refusing to be just a bowling alley or just a bar or just a concert hall. It is genuinely all of those things, and somehow the mix feels completely natural.

The lanes themselves are the anchor, retro and well-maintained, with the kind of satisfying rumble and pin-crash that makes you want to order another round. The food and drinks hold their own too, going well beyond the usual bowling alley fare. And when a band takes the stage, the room transforms into something you did not expect when you first walked in.

The staff makes the difference. Guests regularly call out team members by name in their reviews, a tell that the service here is personal, not scripted. Whether you come for a Monmouth arts event, a birthday party, a date night, or just a Tuesday afternoon with nowhere better to be, Asbury Lanes has the energy to match.

What We Offer

Bowling at Asbury Lanes is the kind you actually remember. The lanes are classic and well-kept, the shoes fit, and the vibe around the lanes is social and easy, not competitive or stiff. Bring a group and watch the afternoon disappear.

Beyond the lanes, the venue runs a full-service bar and diner with food and cocktails that consistently draw compliments in reviews. Live music and ticketed concerts fill the calendar regularly, making this one of the more versatile event spaces on the Jersey Shore. The space is also available for private events and group bookings, with staff like Nicole who guests describe as phenomenal from start to finish.

Open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday from noon and Sunday until 8 PM, Asbury Lanes is built for spontaneous visits and planned celebrations alike.

"I attended a Monmouth Art event at Asbury Lanes and was pleasantly surprised by everything this venue had to offer! From the beautiful setup to the warm service, the entire experience was impressive. The food was absolutely delicious—especially the papaya and arugula salad. It was so good that I would love to have the recipe if you’re willing to share it! Even the parking, which is usually challenging in the area, was easy and convenient. Overall, a wonderful experience. I’m looking forward to attending more events here in the future!"

"We had the most amazing afternoon at Asbury Lanes with our friends and family, and we cannot recommend this place enough. Nicole was our go-to throughout the entire visit, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Without us having to ask a single thing, she anticipated every need our group had; including accommodating the little ones in our crew. She was thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely made the experience feel effortless for everyone. She truly deserves all the recognition - 10/10! Beyond the incredible service, Asbury Lanes itself is such a fun, unique space. The energy was great, the setting is cool, and bowling here felt like so much more than just bowling — it was a full-on good time. Our whole group had a blast, kids and adults alike. If you’re looking for a fun group outing in Asbury Park, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend and if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole taking care of you, you’re in the best hands possible."

"Wonderful experience! We had our Christmas party at this place and it was amazing. The venue is incredible, with live music and delicious food, but the real stars are the cocktails. They were excellent. The staff was especially great. Very friendly and attentive. They made me feel comfortable and helped us enjoy the entire night. The bowling system is really interesting because it offers different types of games and scoring styles, which makes it more fun and dynamic. Honestly, I would go back just for fun."

"Went to the Narrowhead show on 11/22 with my wife and one other couple. This was my first time here and believe me, I will never be going back. Long story short my wife and her friend went to use the bathroom and ended up sharing a stall due to it being crowded. A women security guard proceeded to bang on the door with a metal pipe. She was demanding they get out while cursing and being extremely unprofessional. My wife told the Security that she would open the door once her friend was fully clothed. After they were done, she opened the door and the security proceeded to kick them out of the venue with no explanation. This was done while being cursed at and threatened (“watch what happens”) . Meanwhile me and my friend had no idea That our wife’s were kicked out. As a former security officer and a current supervisor, I’m appalled at the way security handled this incident clearly from word of mouth and reading reviews online that this is not the first incident. Working security is all about de-escalation and clearly your staff is not trained in de-escalation tactics, which clearly is having a negative impact on your patrons and people that pay good money to see your shows and buy your overpriced drinks. We will never be coming back here and will be calling corporate as well. This is unacceptable and shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone."
