The "laid-back" Rusty Nail has encouraged patrons to wear flip-flops all day and bring their four-legged friends, the site stated. The restaurant also offers The Hammer, a drink consisting of Gosling's and coconut rum mixed with passion fruit, pineapple and lemon juices. With the motto of "take the rest of the day off," The Hammer comes in a take-home, hollowed-out coconut, according to The Daily Meal.
Touting The Beach Bar for having the best view in Asbury Park, the ranking notes the restaurant's place in a storied local music scene.
The Beach Bar offers Sinatra nights, Uke & Drum events and other live music nights throughout the season, and its rum buckets are also a must, reviewers said.
