Beach Tavern

Our Philosophy:

The mission of Beach Tavern is to provide our guests with an outstanding dining experience in a beautiful and comfortable setting. We aspire for guests to arrive curious and leave fulfilled, and for staff to come to work happy. Our vision is to make Beach Tavern Monmouth County’s most popular dining location. At Beach Tavern, our menu is designed to appeal to both traditional and

adventurous tastes. The common theme across all of our dishes is uncompromising commitment to technique and flavor that will leave you raving about your meal for days to come. Chef Ken and his team take pride in offering menu selections that are house-made, from scratch, with top ingredients hand-selected and delivered daily. While certain staples will appear on the menu year-round, daily specials will offer a taste of the season. Your Beach Tavern dining experience starts with warm bread from the acclaimed Balthazar Bakery in New York City. Your appetizer and salad options range from the familiar to the unique. If you like your appetizer on the half-shell, you are in luck! Our raw bar is one of very few in the area and we keep it fully stocked with East and West Coast selections of shellfish like oysters, crab, shrimp and clams. Beach Tavern is home to an Italian Arcobaleno brand pasta machine. It features brass extruders that give our pasta a rough, rustic texture perfect for absorbing our delicious sauces. One bite and you will swear someone’s Italian grandmother bestowed these recipes on us! The main dishes are a collection of Chef Ken's favorite things to cook and serve. All of our proteins are of the highest quality and sourced from specialized purveyors with decades of experience in the industry. We received deliveries of fresh seafood daily. Our steaks are all Angus and/or dry-aged. We only serve hormone and antibiotic-free chicken. Our burger is a custom blend of sirloin, short rib and brisket. Just try to save room for dessert- we dare you! Our Space:

Beach Tavern’s dining rooms and bar are designed to give every seat in the house a view of the Shrewsbury River, which is quite nice at sunset, year round. The décor is a light, airy, welcoming mix of rustic and refined. Look down and you’ll see 150-year-old reclaimed and refinished chestnut floors. Look up and you’ll see signs from the restaurant’s original incarnation- The Haul Out. The central communal gathering point of the restaurant is our bar. We have 12 beers on tap and concoct all of our cocktails with top-shelf spirits and fresh pressed juices. Our 100 bottle wine list was designed exclusively for Beach Tavern to compliment our unique style of food and to ensure that you will find something you like. We conceived of and built our open kitchen with three aims: beauty, efficiency and energy while engaging our guests with the energy of the kitchen. All of our equipment is state-of-the-art.
