Who doesn’t love a night out on the town? Everyone does unless you’re Robin Williams in One Hour Photo.
Of course there’s Manhattan and its plethora of dance clubs and bars. But you don’t have to venture into Manhattan and spend a fortune for a good time. New Jersey has a ton of great spots to get turned up AND be fiscally responsible!
Here are the Top 5 best kept secrets for a night out in NJ:
-
#5 Barcade – Jersey City
Barcade is a combination bar and arcade with a focus on classic video games and American craft beer – a truly unique experience. What’s on tap?
-
#4 The Ainsworth – Hoboken
With exotic twists on the great American classics, first-class selection of wines and specialty/seasonal beers, this new fresh and contemporary restaurant is more than just your basic Hoboken bar & grill. The menu stands out in a crowded sea within it’s one mile radius. However, The Ainsworth is not only the latest location to the already accredited and elite chain of venues, but the nightlife provides the perfect blended crowd of bridge and tunnel folks overlooking the beautiful cityscape of Manhattan. Enjoy music by the Hudson with great friends or family! Oh yeah…And keep your eyes peeled for a MANZO!

#3 D’Jais – Belmar
Okay, so D’Jais isn’t quite a secret. It is filled with NJ stereotypes as much as history. But the reality is, the secret needs to be shared! IT’s not what you think!!!! D’Jais has a diverse atmosphere with different music seven nights a week and the Tri-State’s best DJ’s spinning the latest dance and club music. On Fridays, D’Jais hosts the After Work Party with a FREE hot and cold buffet and $4.50 drinks.
D’Jais is not just an over-packed hangout for Jersey Shore wannabees and walking punchlines. It actually draws in just as many locals as bennies from every age bracket there is! Fun for everyone-despite the stigma! The Sunday Fundays are legendary.

#2 Paradise – Asbury Park
HEY GIRL HEY! Yes, it’s a gay bar, but plenty of straight people also frequent this queer setting. Great music, ample room for dancing, and a spacious outdoor area, Paradise is a good time no matter what you prefer – boys, girls, or both.
Located in Asbury Park, Paradise is right on the shore, so you can spend the day at the beach and then hit the dance floor at night. So if you’re straight, don’t be scared to come; the gays don’t bite unless you’re bi-curious and want them to do so.
