Asbury Lanes is a historic iconic venue on 4th Avenue in A. Park; It will have live entertainment as it did in its hey-day. The night club opens with an impressive music guest list.
Asbury Lanes was once known as a center for the 1970’s punk rock movement. But this new version is not a throwback to that era; it is a sleek modern concert venue. Some punk fans hoped for a resurrection of the old days, but that’s not happening.
And, for you fressers out there, there also will be a 24 hour diner (all night in the summer.)

WILD CHILD: This group will appear on June 7. Here they are with “Crazy Bird” It isn’t punk rock, but it sure sounds great.
