Here's one of Ed's more popular skits
As for HOI, Atomic Rob was quite impressed. He's quoted as saying, "
Getting to the new House Of Independence and leaving was easy. The Uber was cheap and came quickly. The venue was clean, and nice and cold. There was a good-sized crowd. The bleachers were pretty much filled and then many people stood on the balcony. They had multiple bartenders working at the bar, so I did not have to wait for a drink. The beers were ice-cold.
They had a large selection of beers and probably any cocktail you wanted. The Miller Lite pint was $7, which is cheap for a concert venue. I also liked how they kept a free water cooler on the bar for all to drink. The bathrooms smelled fresh and were clean. They even had a private handicapped bathroom.
The Ed Bassmaster Show went on for almost 2 hours, and the crowd was into it the whole time. The show was let out around 9 pm. It is awesome to come out and be right there in downtown Asbury. So many great drink and food options right there within walking distance. We went to Johnny Macs for a nightcap before heading home. The New House Of Independence is back!
