    We are a vintage 1960's bowling alley, with a stage in the middle of the bowling lanes. Shows include live music (varying from punk, indie, rockabilly, psychobilly, metal, and much more), burlesque, sideshow acts, performance art, and more! With delicious yet affordable drinks, creative decor, tasty Snack World food, and more... we hope you'll be coming back for more.

      A few years ago this place changed to 21+ which was very disappointing to me but the times I did spend there were awesome! How cool is it to be able to bowl and listen to great bands play on a stage right over the bowling alley!? Saw Against Me! and the Soviettes there, what a great show... and a great place.

      The Lanes is one of my favorite spots that exist. Growing up around Asbury, I've seen this place go through a few incarnations and it's now a really unique space, good for live shows, bowling, dancing, watching films or sitting around. The space is so large that you'll hear complaints about the sound, but It makes up for that and then some with the atmosphere and vibe. The people who work here and the people who frequent here are all interesting, talented and incredible. Drinks are stiff and music's good. That's all you can really ask for!

      Seriously the coolest place to hang out ever! Great staff, fun crowds, tasty food plenty of booze, always awesome art on the walls plus cool and interesting shows there. I could hang out at Asbury Lanes every night of the week and never get sick of it. I love this place.

      Granted I came here for a comic con and not for actual bowling, but man oh man...the inside of this place is bad ass. Old school all the way. The bar here is pretty swank too. I don't mind paying $5 for a beer since I'm essentially paying to hang out in a cool looking bar. If only I lived here and not in Baltimore. :(

      what a great time July 1 at the Zombie Wedding theater. This was the first time we had been in the lanes, even though we had been coming to AP for years. What nice people, good bar, and we just had so much fun.

      I will say it would have been way more fun, and we would have stayed after for more drinks had you turned the AC on. We were wondering if perhaps the place doesn't have central AC? It was really bad in there.

      Thanks for having this in your place.

      the ventures rocked this venue up to high heavens.

      punk, drunk and roll, is all i have to say about this place. $2 PBRs, hot chicks with tattoos serving your beer, and bowling to Social D on the the sound system.

      It would be nice to be able to get into the place to give it a fair assessment. However, every time I visit Asbury Lanes during the late afternoon I am denied a lane. Like they're only in business to turn away business! I'm going to rate: not sure! on all the additional tips and give a below average rating for the below average front of the house customer service, although I'm glad they support the music scene. They can't even tell me what their operating hours are, they just tell me they're closed. I guess I should know that by now. Lame.

      Great place run by great people. This is truly the definition of a "local club" and deserves support. I was there on a tour and, while the turnout was less than stellar, we all had a really great time and would come back in a heartbeat.

      Asbury Lanes is one of my favorite spots. I've seen some of my favorite bands, both local and classic, perform on their stage. The bar is stocked and decently priced and the service is quick and friendly. Even the snack bar is a step above with cool vegetarian/vegan options like deep fried barbeque tofu. I have been going to the lanes for years and it is truely a treasure.
