I've had the pleasure of visiting the Saint on a few occasions, all of them included seeing a show! The other reviewers got this place described spot on - the experience at the Saint is very intimate filled with good people, great sound, and cheap beer!
You can find parking by the railroad tracks and there are empty lots in the surrounding blocks - never a problem. Tickets to see shows are usually pocket friendly at $15-20 a ticket. Inside there is literally no bad spot to see the show - if you can get up front right by the bar you are essentially good for the rest of the night! :) I will be coming here again and again to see some of my favorite reggae rock bands entertain the crowd!
I was impressed with The Saint!
_ a green room for musicians to lounge
_ a gear room to stash instruments (used to be a kitchen)
_ clean bathroom
_ curtain for stage
_ sound was extraordinary (go Hinge - the sound guy!) - controlled remotely on iPad!
_ old posters/stickers all over every wall = fun
_ friendly staff & patrons
_ outdoors: chairs outside for patrons (or smokers) to lounge, ambient lights in tree and in windows, word of a beer garden coming soon in the back of the bar.
Will return.
Love the Saint. The owner and his wife worked the bar the night we were there to see The James Maddock Band. They really treated us well and made us feel right at home. The place is quite small but perfect to see some of the best musicians in the Asbury Park area. To say we had a lot of fun would be an understatement. One side note, the drinks were how I make em' at home...LOL...
Review Source:to have an original music bar that has seen the likes of ben folds, kings of leon, deftones, black reberl motorcycle club, jon spencer and so many others, in the heart of the jersey shore cover band land and NOT in the cookman avenue district for 16 years, they're doing something right.
small bar and gets crowded easily, but the best place to hear a band.
plus thursdays they have weekly jam band shows that gives an outlet for the jam band crowd (and there's a big one, believe me) to do their thing.
only complaint is the cover and beer cost. Â there might be a stronger original music scene if it didn't cost TEN BUCKS, even on weeknights-thursdays are usually 8 bucks. i don't mind paying a cover-actually when it's for a band i like paying one-as long as the band's getting paid. Â but to get people ino your place you might consider owering it just a bit!!!!
I really like how on a summer night, if you cross the street twice from the Saint, and stand cattycorner, you can still catch a glimmer of live music through the ventilation system. The place exudes so much energy on show nights they can hardly contain it.
It's not much in the way of drink specials (no tap, just bottle service?) but there's a reasonable cover for the music and not a bad seat in the house.
I enjoy how there's a TV projection of the stage next to the stage. It's like a reminder why we're here, is not to watch ESPN but to take a break from that and enjoy local music.
Top off your excursion with a hot dog from Randy's cart outside. In all sorts of weather he makes sure the rock fans stomachs are replenished after their faces melt.
This place is cool, its a small rocker bar, with great live music. We drove up and there was a biker gang outside. I went on Wednesday night to see Chris Skel and the Hudson Falcons it was an awesome show! I also wanted to check out Maybe Pete, but they played last and it was a school nite so i missed them cause I had to leave early. They had a $3 miller highlife special. Outside the door is a dirty water hot dog stand, I had the spicy dog with mustard and sauerkraut it was delicious.
Review Source:Depending on what you are looking for when going out for some live music, this place rocks. Â The place is small so you are going to get raw, original live music almost every night of the week. Â One of those places you walk in not knowing the band and wind up making a friend or two.
Many people have their humble beginnings in this place and you can see why. Â Just has the CBGB feel inside and out. Â Got to love Asbury, got to check out the Saint.
Is this the best original music venue in NJ? A lot of people think so. Scott and Adam have been presenting the best local and touring bands for many years. It's not easy to keep a club going, so they must be doing something right.
The Saint is a small club, the walls covered with stickers and graffiti. It's dark, and even a little dingy. Everything a real rock club should be. The crowd is friendly, the sound is great, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Add the best music around, and you've got a great night out.
