Lesbian & LGBTQ+ guide to Asbury Park

“On Saturday 4/25 me and my two friends were about to celebrate my birthday as it was the eve prior to it. As we arrived at about midnight we were approached by a really tough, slim white skin guard staff. He yelled to the line of people that he needed the ID's in order to let people in. His attitude from the beginning was terribly unprofessional, shame! As we gave him our ID's, one of my friends did not have a federal approved one. She had her regular city ID and another identification that he claimed wasn't good enough. The problem was never not being able to go in, but the way he almost-screamed at us saying things like "your IDs are not valid", "This is not good on this country", " especially after he heard us talking in another language. We came from far and I even tried to talk to the lady on the other end (exit) and she apathetically reacted saying that there was nothing else to do. I was looking forward to that night because I celebrated my past birthday there and it was the most extraordinary night ever, but this occasion left me with a really sour sensation that I think won't make me come back.”

“My happy place !! Always a great crowd and atmosphere where you can be yourself without resentment!!!”

“It's not the perfect place, as no place in the world is, but I must acknowledge that I have always received very good treatment from all the staff there. I can't mention names because I don't know them, but I appreciate the effort they make to give patients the best care. Thank you.”
