If you don't mind partying with the cast of the Jersey Shore, along with assorted guidos and guidettes that occupy this part of the Garden State, check your brain at the door and then you will have a great time dancing the night away at Jenks to a good mix of rock, pop, hip hop, and house music.
We usually make a few weekend summer getaways to Point Pleasant Beach and always look forward to spending a few nights here. The club is spacious, the mixed crowd is actually pretty chill, and the drinks are really cheap. Usually there is always some sort of beer and drink specials going on Fri and Sat nights. Even the bartenders are pretty nice. If hungry they run the dining area adjacent to the club with in and out privileges that is open until late. Open during the day too with great views of the beach/ocean and there are flat screens all around to catch a game.
Some of the best times we have had here are when they feature cover bands such as The Nerds, Big Orange Cone, and The Benjamins. All these bands are really fun and the place is a big party when they perform. From what I have read there was big damage from hurricane Sandy but they have done a great job rebuilding the boardwalk and reopening Jenks. So we can't wait to possibly head down there this summer to take in a few weekends and party. We've always had a great time here.
What's not to like? It's right on the beach, music is great, people there are nice, food is close, and the drinks are cheap. Just don't expect an overpriced pretentious Manhattan type club which is all for the better anyway.
So I'm going to through this out there, I am a Staten Islander and although I am by no means a "guidette" but there is a part of me that loves partying with guidos at the Jersey Shore.
That being said I absolutely loved it here, the music was great the night started with a live cover band, which I thought was going to be lame but was surprisingly a lot of fun, and then went on to the DJ which was awesome perfect for fist pumping lol. Also, loved the setup, had the bars on the side, your dance floor, and the deck out back which was great.
So if you are looking to party Jersey Shore style you may just love Jenks as much as I do, but other wise it may not be the spot for you.
I love the term "Locals Only". Â What it really means is:
* $2 beers and $1 drinks...till close.
* Drunk dancing to pop, hip hop and house music
* Mingling, laughing, and getting rowdy with point residents in an 8-bar giant venue with a great vibe
* No brawls to worry about between loser BENNY's.
Local Appreciation night...what a concept.
