The Stone Pony is one of the best-known rock clubs in the United States and an essential part of Asbury Park’s musical identity. Housed in a converted low-rise building near the oceanfront, the venue has retained a simple, authentic appearance that reflects its long concert tradition. Its compact indoor layout creates a close connection between performers and the audience, while the outdoor Summer Stage accommodates larger concerts during the warmer part of the year.
Most indoor concerts operate as general-admission, standing-room events, with a limited number of bar stools available on a first-come, first-served basis. Modernized sound and lighting systems support an energetic live experience, while displayed artwork and memorabilia from the club’s history reinforce its distinctive rock character. Visitors can also use the venue’s bars and accessible viewing areas, with additional facilities and services varying according to the event format.
The venue is located at 913 Ocean Ave N, Asbury Park, United States, at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Second Avenue, directly beside the waterfront district. Metered street parking and public parking facilities are available nearby, including lots around Second, Fourth and Lake Avenues, followed by a short walk to the entrance.
