Outside of Atlantic City, the Jersey Shore doesn't have much in the way of nightlife. Families and couples hit the boardwalk's arcades or stroll into town for ice cream and a movie. The younger crowds are usually content to get a couple of six-packs at the local liquor store and hunker down on the beach or in their rentals, though the boardwalk at Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights has quite a few bars and dance clubs that draw an 18-25 crowd. Local papers will give you the skinny on what bars have live entertainment, the quality of which can range from competent to uproariously cheesy.
