"R Bar is Asbury Park’s ode to New Orleans, and when you’re eating blue crab beignets in the tranquil backyard while listening to a brass band, you may feel briefly transported to the Crescent City. Naturally, the cocktail game here is strong, featuring refreshing originals like the Shutter Up, a yellow Chartreuse-spiked riff on the Tommy’s Margarita along with classics like a well-made Sazerac." - Marion Brewer
