A Local’s Guide to Jersey Shore BYOBs in Monmouth County
Okay, we admit it – we’ve been here before (twice). What can we say? We’re suckers for a delicious Jersey Shore BYOB restaurant. It’s like eating in, but with better food and no need to do the dishes. So we’ve done the work and have compiled an insider’s guide to some of our favorite Jersey Shore BYOBs. We’re sharing where we want to go when we can’t part with that full-bodied Cabernet or that six-pack of craft beers from a local brewery.
From dinner to lunch and even brunch, we’ve found that a good glass of bubbly and booze paired with delicious dishes make any hour of the day a little more special. Oh, don’t worry, we didn’t forget our friends in Ocean County, they just get a separate list.
Now back to Monmouth County BYOB restaurants, they may lack the liquor, but they’re not lacking in the flavor. Whether you’re craving a frozen margarita or a classy bottle of Brunello, there’s a Jersey Shore BYOB restaurant that’s ready to make your meal complete. So stop at your local liquor store (Little Silver Bottle Shop has quite a selection) and head out into the evening. Just because you brought your own doesn’t mean it won’t be the best meal of your life.
