Swim-Up Cocktails and Fresh Seafood Await at The Pool Bar in Spring Lake, New Jersey

Summer in New Jersey can get pretty hot, and so I'm always looking for ways to cool off. That can mean a visit to the local pool, or a trip to a waterfront restaurant. But how about both in one location? That's right, there's an epic pool bar in New Jersey called "The Pool Bar". Located at The Shore Club, one of Spring Lake's best hotels, it brings a touch of beachside party fun to this upscale hotel and event venue. Right by one of the town's largest pools, you'll find a restaurant serving a light seafood-forward menu and delicious craft cocktails. It's exactly the kind of place you want to be when the sun is high in the sky, so come with us as we explore the most epic pool destination on the Jersey Shore.

The Shore Club is one of the hottest spots on the shore, frequently hosting both everyday guests and wedding crowds.

It always had a lively pool, but it's become even more exciting in recent years thanks to being home to The Pool Bar, New Jersey's top poolside restaurant.

There's an extensive menu here, featuring shore favorites like fish tacos, burgers, and perfectly fried fish and chips.

The highlight, though, has to be the bar where skilled bartenders craft perfectly executed classic cocktails and new innovations.

Of course, it being summer, the frozen alcoholic slushies may be just the ticket for many guests.

You barely even have to leave the pool, and can enjoy your libations from your own personal pool float.

It's one of the best parties on the shore, with food, booze, and tunes aplenty. The popular summer destination is open Thursday to Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

You can see the full menu on The Pool Bar's website. You can also book your own stay at The Shore Club, and if you're in town for a few days, why not go exploring and have dinner at the most authentic Irish pub in New Jersey?
