Jersey Has One Of The Coolest Speakeasies
Here at the Rat we all love our bars and spending the night out, but now we want you to check out one of Jersey shore’s coolest speakeasies this summer. It offers a unique speakeasy experience that is currently the talk of the town. Being in the basement with low lights, this rocking place brings you right back to the Prohibition era. It really has that unique feel for sure, they have menus housed in CD cases and the bills come out in cassette cases, to give you a taste of the 90s.
The cool thing about this place is that it will make you feel like something from ‘Back To The Future,’ because it also has a 1920’s feel as well. Check this out, you get a flashlight at your table instead of a normal candle. This place has swings, lounge chairs, and couches, and is perfect for a night out with friends or a date.
Where And What Is The Name Of This New Jersey Speakeasy?
So glad you asked, the name is Laylow, and it is located at 603 Mattison Ave, Asbury Park. It is right under Reyla Restaurant and their drink menu has bunch of specialty cocktails. You can also get their own beverages. Another awesome thing, the cocktails are excellent quality with some of the best prices around, making Laylow a place where you don’t need to take out a loan for a night out. Plus, they have outdoor seating, and get this, dogs are allowed, so if your date does not show up, you can bring man’s best friend.
So, I say it’s time to take a roadtrip to Asbury for some drinks going and a cool history lesson. Thank you for taking the time out to check this story out, and as always, rocking out with me and 95.9 The Rat. You can always get more stories from me by clicking right HERE. Much LOVE and CHEERS. – Gotts
