One of our favorite summer hangouts is the 9th Avenue Pier in Belmar, New Jersey. Overlooking the Shark River at the Belmar Marina, the popular patio bar is locally known not only for its picture-perfect sunset views, but also for its supersized rum buckets.
9th Avenue Pier, AKA "Pier 9," is a seasonal spot, with first-come, first-served seating at two large outdoor bars and waterside tables.
The food menu consists of casual bar fare, with a basic selection of appetizers, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and fried seafood baskets. There’s also a kids’ menu. 9th Avenue Pier in Belmar is part of Chef’s International, a regional restaurant corporation which also owns and operates Marina Grille at the Belmar Marina, Anchor Tavern on 8th Avenue and Main Street in Belmar, The Cabin in Freehold, and Rod’s Tavern in Sea Girt, New Jersey.
A variety of local musicians is scheduled to perform at the pier this summer, through September 11. Below is the schedule of live music at 9th Avenue Pier for summer 2022.
