14 Best Sports Bars near Manasquan

“Found this place towards the end of our summer rental in Manasquan. What a great find! we watched the Rutgers game and talked to Elise the bartender for quite a while. She was so nice! burgers were awesome. met a couple up for the week from Florida who frequent the Rail every year. we will definitely be back next summer! Highly recommend this local pub.“

“A must when in Monmouth County. Thin, pastry like crust that has the perfect crisp, antipasta chopped or not, New England clam chowder to rival Boston. It is always busy and filled with both regulars and Bennies, anyone who manages to find this hidden gem along the Route 35 bridge by Belmar, will keep coming back. If you're bold, take their t-shirt challenge and eat an XL Pie to go home with pride.“

“Great food, fun, comfortable atmosphere, cold beer“

“It’s a bar with above average bar food, shows sports and has live music. Atmosphere is decent and they host events (did a great job for a fantasy football draft a few years back) Also appears many of the negative reviews came in a 3 day span and were from people who have likely never been here.“

“Aug. 2025
Stopped in on tge way home from a event.
The one thing about chain restaurants is they all look the same and the menu are relatively the same. Which is a good thing. But tgey should allow them the opportunity to have 2 or 3 menu item that are independent from cooperate and their sister restaurants.

Mimi was exceptional with her service. Along with smile and ability to read people.
Our food was all typical for Applebee's. The exception here was that tha manager walked around to each table and asked about the food and service .
Atmosphere, hey cooperate. It's time to change a few things around and clean up the look.
This place is children friendly and parking is plentiful along with handicapped friendly.“

“Great Lobster and soup was delicious. I highly recommend“

“Good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere.“

“Happy Hour! great personal pizzas.. Good Vubrations at the Shore!“

“Solid pub/bar fare. You can't really go wrong with anything here, it's all just pretty damn good, but won't blow you away either. Let's be honest, you aren't walking into this place looking for a Michelin star quality meal, you want some wings, maybe a burger, and a few beers and yeah, you're gonna be very satisfied with what you get. 👍“

“Walked in and sat at the bar, our bartender was a wonderful woman named Leen. We’ve been to a few Applebee’s but I have to say Leen was easily one of the most exceptional bartenders we’ve ever had at an Applebee’s or any other bar for that matter. Friendly, attentive, funny and just overall a great person to talk to. Our food came much faster than I or my girlfriend had expected (and it was outstanding). Everything we could’ve asked for, if I could give more stars I would! 11/10“

“Fun place to meet up with friends, and you get a free pizza with every drink you buy. Sunday morning are free omelets and are delicious with their bloody marys!
This place has a lot of character and you will find some of the most interesting things written on the walls.“

“the server was really good“
