Downtown Asbury Park is a destination for locals and visitors alike, so naturally, we\u2019ve all been wondering what would eventually take over the former Asbury Festhalle + Biergarten space at 527 Lake Avenue. Once news broke about Asbury Social, our curiosity only grew. <em>JSG<\/em>, of course, needed to know more. We stopped by Asbury Social during its soft opening to get a first look at the space, try the food + drinks, and learn what\u2019s ahead for this massive new addition to downtown.

Think dinner, drinks, live entertainment, and a night out all under one roof, complete with a moody, sophisticated aesthetic that makes the entire experience feel a little elevated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The restaurant takes over the former Asbury Festhalle + Biergarten, which closed in 2023 following flood damage. Owners Claude Elie and Julian Gellman, who also operate House of Independents in <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/things-to-do-rainy-day-asbury-park-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asbury Park<\/a>, have since transformed the space into Asbury Social.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>JSG<\/em> stopped by during the soft opening to try a curated selection of food + drinks and explore the new space. We also got to chat with owner Claude Elie, who gave us the scoop on some exciting future plans and how Asbury Social hopes to become much more than another place to grab dinner downtown.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>The Vibe<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-238251 \" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1.png\" alt=\"asbury social asbury park\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-1-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Asbury Social experience feels chic from the moment guests arrive, starting with a red carpet leading to the entrance. Greeters welcome everyone inside, where the former beer hall has been transformed into an industrial-meets-upscale lounge. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moody lighting makes the space fitting for everything from a first date to a night out with the girls. Basically, this is the kind of place that gives us an excuse to finally wear that cute outfit that has been sitting in the closet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The open-concept layout features a massive dining room and bar area known as the Supper Club, complete with comfortable leather seating. A statement chandelier + vintage-inspired furniture create plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-instagrammable-locations-jersey-shore-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photo-ready moments<\/a> throughout the space, while also providing cozy spots for eating, drinking, + socializing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just to the left of the main entrance is The Green Room, an intimate nook tucked beside the main dining area and framed by velvet curtains. The space has its own dedicated entrance while still connecting to the energy of the Supper Club. T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Green Room will also be available for private events and can accommodate up to 50 guests. Between the moody interiors and intimate setup, we can already picture it for a trendy birthday celebration, corporate gathering, private dinner, + more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Entertainment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbury Social plans to become a hub for all kinds of entertainment. Claude described the concept to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as having a \u201cdinner and a show\u201d element, meaning the experience doesn\u2019t necessarily end when the plates are cleared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/the-reef-club-allenhurst-nj-restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Reef Club: A New Oceanfront Restaurant in Allenhurst, NJ<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social Saturdays are also in the works, taking place from 10PM to 2AM and featuring live music + DJs spinning everything from R&amp;B hits to disco classics. During late-night hours, the dining tables will be cleared to create plenty of room for dancing and transform the Supper Club into more of a nightclub atmosphere. <strong>FYI: <\/strong>The team is aiming for a <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/jersey-shore-bars-30-plus-crowd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more mature, 25+ crowd<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social Saturdays officially kick off on September 12th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entertainment plans extend beyond DJs, too. Live bands, Frank Sinatra-style tunes, magic shows, and other whimsical performances are all part of the vision for the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During our visit, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also got to meet Rico, who made his way from table to table throughout the evening.

Appetizers are known as \u201cOpening Acts,\u201d entr\u00e9es become \u201cMain Acts,\u201d and sides are appropriately called \u201cSupporting Acts.\u201d Considering Asbury Park\u2019s deep roots in <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/record-music-stores-jersey-shore-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music<\/a>, the theme feels right at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With plenty of tempting options, narrowing down our order wasn\u2019t exactly easy. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started with the Got the Mutz, an oversized mozzarella stick that looks more like a crispy, cheesy block and comes served with marinara sauce. The Pepper Jam Shrimp was another favorite, made with crispy Gulf shrimp, secret Social sauce, blue cheese crumbles, + vegetable conserva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our mains, we went with the grilled whole branzino, served with the head + tail, and the Goffle Road Farms Chicken. The chicken comes with Social BBQ sauce + cornbread, and the combination was one of the standouts of the night. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Crispy Brussels were another <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> favorite. Made with Parmesan dressing + cornbread crumbles, this was one of those sides we kept going back to even after insisting we were full.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other menu highlights include The Drum Kit, a meal designed for two featuring fried chicken, caviar, sweet potato spoonbread, vegetables, + Social sauces. Premium steaks + chops are also available from The Butcher\u2019s Block. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a little nod to the building\u2019s former life as Asbury Festhalle + Biergarten, the OG Soft Pretzel also made its way onto the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full menu is expected to debut following the official opening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Drinks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-238249 \" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3.png\" alt=\"asbury social asbury park\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/asbury-social-asbury-park-3-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-cocktails-jersey-shore-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cocktails<\/a> at Asbury Social are just as fun as the space itself, with creative names + presentations that make ordering a drink part of the experience. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tried the Cloud Nine, Matcha Made in Heaven, The Socialite, + Monkey Business during the soft opening. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mocktails, beer, + wine by the glass or bottle round out the drink options, so there\u2019s something for just about every kind of night out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Future Plans<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asbury Social may already be a massive space, but there\u2019s still much more to come.&nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First up, The Cocktail Lounge is a coming-soon addition, providing a more intimate setting for dining, drinks, + private parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See more: <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/newjersey\/cocktails-to-go-new-jersey-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New NJ Law Makes Cocktails-To-Go Permanent<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above the Supper Club, a Miami-inspired rooftop experience is currently in the works.

And maybe the coolest part is that the speakeasy will connect directly to House of Independents, making it the ultimate spot for pre-show drinks. Yes, that means dinner, cocktails, a speakeasy, + a concert could eventually happen without ever leaving the building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between the Supper Club, Green Room, future rooftop, late-night programming, speakeasy, + connection to House of Independents, Asbury Social is shaping up to be much more than a restaurant.
