Raise a glass to the best bars at the Jersey Shore

The weather is getting warmer in New Jersey. Before you know it, it will be Memorial Day weekend and people all across the Garden State will be heading down the shore for one of many pilgrimages. And where's the first place to go when you are of age at the Jersey Shore? Your favorite Jersey Shore bar.

Now let's face it, If I asked you what's your favorite Jersey Shore bar, you'd probably say it's the one you hooked up at; or maybe that's just me from back in the day. Actually, my mother met my father at a Jersey Shore bar called the Chatterbox in Seaside Heights a long time ago

Today, with so many other ways to meet people, Jersey Shore bars are more for hanging with friends, catching up, and creating new stories that you will be telling for years to come.

So where are these great Jersey Shore bars? I polled my social media following and these are the ones they came up with. So raise your glass and remember to drink responsibly.
