Bars In Avalon

Avalon has two main hotspots for nightlife, between 20th and 24th Streets and around 80th Street. I’ve always been attracted to the area between 20th and 24th Streets because I can walk/stumble home without worrying about a designated driver. If you are driving drunk in Avalon, THE COPS WILL GET YOU. I was once in a car pulled over twice in 15 minutes because of suspected drunkenness and everyone was sober. There are three bars to go to in this area of Avalon and all have a different style.

The Whitebrier attracts Avalonians in their mid to late twenties who have rented for the summer or have spent the day on the beach. It’s completely acceptable to show up sunburnt and sandy.
Location: 260 20th Street, Avalon, NJ 08202
Deals: Happy Hour in the Octopus' Garden (Whitebrier's outside area) is from noon to 7 p.m.. The special is buy one get one half price sushi and reduced price drinks.

If you’re interested in dressing up and going out you’ll enjoy The Princeton. It’s a little pricier than the other bars, but it has three different rooms that cater to everybody.
Location: 2008 Dune Drive, Avalon, NJ 08202
Events: This weekend has seven DJ’s, two bands, and one solo acoustic act.

The Rock ‘N Chair is smaller than the other bars, but it can be just as fun. You’ll notice that they don’t have any specials because they have one special that keeps their customers happy: there are very few young people. If your kids are old enough to hang at the Princeton you may be old enough to hang at the Rock ‘N Chair.
Location: 2409 Dune Drive, Avalon, NJ 08202
Events: Love & Branca is playing Saturday night.
