Best WLM Reviews
Really cool music venue two blocks from the Asbury Park boardwalk. Smaller room, but great vibe. Only deducted a star due to the sound not being great. Had trouble hearing vocals through all 3 bands. Otherwise, it was a great time!
Very fun venue - we went for a concert so they didn't have like bowling alley set up but I thought that was a fun thing about the space.
For a concert it was nice bc there is like split level flooring (I guess that's the way to say it?) but essentially the back third or so of the room facing the stage was higher than the front half so we grabbed a spot to stand at the back and didn't have to worry about not being able to see the stage. Plus it was a small enough venue that we weren't crazy far away from the stage choosing that option.
They also had two bars on both sides of the room which was nice bc it was quite crowded and would have been a pain to get over to the other side of the room. They also had the diner connected to it which again wasn't open bc of the concert but I thought it was a fun feature (idk if they had it open before or after the show - didn't check).
Last thing is their security was like VERY vigilant which... Depending on who you are might make you happy or not so happy lol do what you will with the info.
Overall, good spot. I don't live in Jersey so I had to drive about 1.5 hours to get there but if another artist I like has a show there I would be happy to make the trip again.
Minus 1 star for putting a random $160 on my card with no warning. Beautiful venue and location. Great sound. It does get packed, but that's how concerts work, lol. I think I saw it was 740 or 760-person venue. Beers were fairly cheaper than expected. Bathrooms with fine. Easy parking. Sold out show with amazing energy. Should be minus 2 stars for the card hold though.
Saw Death From Above 1979 here for the 20th anniversary of their first album. Awesome venue, awesome staff, awesome opener Nobro, awesome show, everything was super good. Snack bar being a window into the diner next door is magic
Went for the Rocky Horror Picture Show live show. While the cast was wonderful, I did not like that any outside props were banned and you were forced to buy the prop bags. It made no sense that I wasn't allowed to bring in newspaper of they were okay with me buying it inside. The security were also very rude about the dress code and made my friends take off their accessories but wouldn't agree to let them store it since our car was parked too far away.
The only issue I had and the one I haven't seen any reference too is that I was encouraged by the bartender to open a tab - and that it would allow me to order drinks at either bar only to have a $161 dollar hold put on my debit card. There may have been a sign posted - if there was it wasn't one I had seen. I tried to call on Saturday to ask about it to make sure I wasn't charged twice (my actual tab cleared by Saturday) but was on hold for a while, then sent a contact form and haven't heard back (it's Tuesday night as I'm writing this). It was thankfully released on Monday but with some notice I would have been able to use another card.
I went to see a show on Friday night and overall had a great time - every staff interaction was great, the space was what I'd want for venue that size and everything was reasonably priced. I don't normally review things but was thrown off by this hold experience.
Went here to see sweetpill and hail the sun. It was a very good time. In regard to factors controllable by the venue, the security was pretty chill. They were not too abrasive and gave off the vibe they were just trynna keep things safe as opposed to power trip. The lights and speakers were also very good.
As a music venue, this place is incredible. It’s got all the makings of a place to see your favorite band and have an awesome time.
The stage and set were clean— as were the restrooms. I thought the bowling lanes were marketing gimmick, but you can actually play a few rounds after the set is finished. It was fantastic.
My only minor complaint would be the amount of alcohol you’re getting for their asking price.
Besides that Asbury lanes is a place I see myself going back to in the near future!
