Reef & Barrel

Reef & Barrel is a beloved beach bar and grill nestled in the heart of Manasquan, New Jersey, just steps from the Jersey Shore. Founded by brothers Bob and Chris Fahey in 2009, this casual off-the-beach establishment pays homage to local beach culture with its laid-back atmosphere and warm hospitality. The venue features multiple distinct spaces including a seasonal rooftop bar, private sunroom, and main bar area, making it perfect for any occasion from intimate gatherings to large celebrations. Reef & Barrel serves up fresh seasonal shore food, comfort dishes, and hearty pub snacks, all made in-house with locally sourced ingredients and the famous #GOODSTUFF philosophy. The bar offers an impressive selection of craft cocktails, including their popular summer slushies, alongside $3 Miller Lite and Coors Light pints during the popular happy hour, Monday through Friday from 11am to 6pm. Live entertainment is a cornerstone of the Reef experience, with local bands, DJs, and intimate indoor shows throughout the winter months, transitioning to outdoor concerts during the summer season. Open daily from 11am to 2am, Reef & Barrel has become a cornerstone of the Manasquan social scene, consistently earning praise for its authentic Jersey Shore vibe, excellent food, and welcoming atmosphere. The venue is part of the Fahey Restaurant Group, which owns several other popular Shore destinations including Boatyard 401, Joe's Surf Shack, and Cross & Orange.
