Wonder Bar
by ryanloral on 6/19/23The Wonder Bar - Asbury ParkWell, the venue lied about almost everything. I asked a week or so before the show if there are tables. I was told yes. First come, first served. Got to the show and was told they removed the tables because it was sold out. I was also told the show was starting at 8, there was an opener, but doors would open at 7. Got there at 6:30 to get a table, have dinner and wait for Nicole. When I got there I was told doors are opening at 8 and opener goes on at 8:30. There were some bar stools they didn't remove and was told if I came back at 7:30 that would be enough time to more than likely get a stool. Got there at 7:30 and they already let ppl in and no stools were to be had. There were a few tables reserved for Nicole's family, about 10-12 seats worth, and no one used them basically the entire time. And when we got back there they wanted to take my wife's mini backback/purse because it could be ripped off someone's back or because the gigantic bouncer made up reasons. Then a woman walks in behind us with a gigantic shoulder bag and that wasn't a problem. So no suggestion by the unhelpful staff there until I suggested if my wife wore it over her shoulder that wouldn't be a problem, and they were like, uh, yeah. Nicole was terrific. So happy I finally got to see her, but the place and the staff were awful.
