The Stone Pony is an iconic live music club on the Asbury Park boardwalk known for launching the careers of major artists including Bruce Springsteen. This intimate standing-room venue hosts rock, punk, indie, and alternative acts with a legendary atmosphere.
Getting there: The Stone Pony is located on the Boardwalk in Asbury Park and is best accessed via NJ Transit bus routes 40 or 42, which serve the Asbury Park transit center downtown. From the transit center, it's roughly a 10-minute walk east to the venue on the Boardwalk. If you're coming by train, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line stops in nearby Long Branch (about 3 miles away), from which you'd need to take a bus or rideshare to reach the venue, as Asbury Park itself has limited rail service.
