Jenks Oceanside Dining

1st time to this area filled with boardwalk type food such as NJ pizza, funnel cakes , fried oreos, and more. Several arcades were open , ice cream shops, and even an aquarium were there right on the Jersy Shore. On a chilly Saturday night in the 40s you could still see families bringing their kids here for the Holiday lights and we even had a glimpse of Santa as he ran through an icecream shop going to a Christmas event at the main restaurant. Even though it is 2 wks before Xmas, it still was a nice place to walk without the major crowds of the summer.

POINT PLEASANT BEACH: Canines and Cocktails has a new location for 2023 at the famous Jenks Club on Jenkinson's Boardwalk! Every Tuesday through the summer from 5:00-9:00pm, come to this beautiful spot right on a fenced-in sandy beach where dogs can run around off-leash and, if you prefer, on-leash. All dogs are in one area (not separated by size). Baggies available at the bar. There are 3 outdoor bars to get a drink and you can order food from a menu with a lot of selections and the servers will bring it out to you. New this year is a doggie menu with a choice of meat, green beans, and carrots. Dogs are not allowed inside the building, but a pet parent can go inside for more bars, food, and restrooms. If it is your first time attending this year, you need to complete a waiver (dogs must be fixed and updated on rabies vaccination) and then you will receive a card to bring with you on subsequent visits that will get you right in. Admission is free! Check out what live bands are playing and when they take a break, the relaxing sound of the ocean will take over. All ages welcome!

Never seen that many people in one place. Insanity but a great time. They did a nice job with the Jenks beach outdoor area. They have a dj out there and it was a lot of fun. Inside they have a bunch of island bars and a band playing. It gets crowded so hard to get a drink after a certain time. Overall, I had a blast and I would come back. They have plenty of food options on the boardwalk if needed after the drinks. I think the trick is to get stamped early so you beat the line and then you are good for the night.

Been over an hour, still waiting on line to get a drink at the bar. would give zero stars if I could

Last night was our first time coming to Jenk's Pavilion, and we cannot wait to come back! Definitely recommend enjoying this venue during the day. It gets crazy packed at night! If you come in early (I believe before 9pm? , there is no cover fee. We started our day here around 6:30pm. After a couple drinks, we had our hands stamped and left for dinner. We then came back around 10pm and dint' have to pay a cover fee. There was a small band that was singing 2000's hits and the crowd was loving it! We stuck with the simple house margarita which was delicious. There was a huge selection of beers. We did not order food here, but we took a look at the menu and their prices seemed fair. Thanks to our bartender, Dom! He was extremely attentive, the drinks were great, and when it started getting busy, he was still able to operate smoothly!
