Jockey Club

Long Branch is a Jersey Shore city with deep horse-racing history nearby at Monmouth Park, and its beachfront Pier Village redevelopment has become a genuine draw for nightlife along the boardwalk. BarFinder lists 32 venues in this part of town, led by sports bars and classic bars, with Pier Village spots like Smiley's Pier Village and AVA Beach Bar leading a scene that leans into the shore-town, oceanfront crowd. It's a solid Jersey Shore bar scene built around both the beach and the town's racing heritage.
