Diana, I would suggest that after Sandy is gone for good, that you contact the Point Beach police or Business Administrator's office to ask them why that is happening.   more ›

Storino Says Midnight Bar Closing Will Force 50 Layoffs at Jenkinson's

Pat Storino, Jenkinson's owner, speaks at Point Beach GOP Club

Midnight bar closings would force Jenkinson's Boardwalk to lay off 50 of its 200 full-time, year-round workers, Pat Storino told the Point Beach GOP organization at the Woman's Club on St. Louis Avenue on Thursday night. "People have told me I should lay off the Point Pleasant Beach residents first, so they can picket," Storino said, adding, laughing, "So I may have to lay off my own kids." Layoffs would be one of the effects of a local ordinance adopted on May 15 that would compel all bars in Point Beach to stop serving alcohol at midnight, said Storino, who has owned Jenkinson's since 1977. That ordinance will be put to its first test today when the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is expected to decide whether to "stay…

UPDATED: Point Beach Votes for 1 a.m. Bar Closing Time

But that won't happen without boardwalk businesses agreeing

The Point Beach Mayor and Council voted narrowly on Tuesday night for bars to stop serving alcohol at 1 a.m. However, that won't happen without agreement from boardwalk businesses which are appealing the council's May 15 vote to stop serving alcohol at midnight. Ed McGlynn, an attorney representing Jenkinson's Boardwalk, said after the vote that he and other boardwalk business representatives have not yet decided if they will agree with a 1 a.m. closing and they will not be releasing any information Tuesday. The vote is an offer of a "compromise," according to the mayor and councilmembers who voted in favor of the 1 a.m. closing time. Councilmembers Michael Corbally, Bret Gordon, Kristine Tooker and Mayor Vincent Barrella (who broke a tie…

Point Beach Council Votes For Midnight Bar Closings

UPDATE: Council votes for preliminary approval for second ordinance giving bars the option to pay fees to stay open until 2 a.m.

Point Beach council voted on Tuesday night for bars to close at midnight, two hours earlier than the current 2 a.m. closing time. Councilmembers Kristine Tooker, Bret Gordon and Michael Corbally voted for the earlier bar closing, while Councilmembers William Mayer, Tim Lurie and Stephen Reid voted against it. That left Mayor Vincent Barrella to break the tie, and he voted yes. The ordinance goes into effect on July 1. The council also voted for preliminary approval for a second ordinance giving bars the option to pay fees to stay open until 2 a.m., which is the current closing time. However, councilmembers agreed to postpone the deadline for bars to request a later closing time from the town. That deadline had been May 24 but was moved to …

Tooker says Mayer Never Brought Her a Boardwalk Offer

Ordinances calling for earlier bar closings or payments are on Tuesday night Point Beach Council agenda

Point Beach Council member Kristine Tooker says Councilman William Mayer never came to her with a financial offer from the boardwalk and that he should not be saying she "rejected" one. Mayer says Tooker is wrong, that he did ask her whether she approves of a boardwalk offer of $140,000 that he describes as the boardwalk's "alternative" to ordinances calling for either earlier bar closings or payments to stay open later, as well as the removal of a separate ordinance restricting parking in the boardwalk bars' District 4. And so goes just one of many disagreements regarding the failed "negotiations" between the town and Jenkinson's Boardwalk and Martell's Tiki Bar. There is not even agreement that they were "negotiations." "They were not '…

I'm shutting down comments on this and the other Point Beach story because of the amounts of complaints I have received and the incredible amount of inaccurate information being spread. And here's another reason: I need to get some work done and cannot spend even more hours monitoring comments.   more ›

District 4 Parking Plan Passed by Point Beach Council

Mayor says plan might be expanded into District 3

Parking on residential streets in District 4 will soon be off limits during the summer overnight hours except for taxpayers, now that a new parking plan has been narrowly passed by Point Beach Council at Tuesday night's meeting at Borough Hall. The plan does not allow parking on residential streets in District 4 from midnight to 6 a.m. except for taxpayers, or those they share with, who have parking placards from the town, from the Monday before Memorial Day to the Monday after Labor Day, said Councilman Michael Corbally, who had initially proposed the plan. District 4's boundaries are the ocean on the east, the New Jersey Transit Railroad Tracks on the west, the Manasquan River and Inlet on the north and the north side of Arnold Avenue on…

Does anyone know how much the ticket is? I received a court date for September and no one can tell me the amount of the ticket. I wasn't at the bar or drinking at all; I simply walked the boardwalk/beach until around 12:30 and got hit with this ticket. Unbelievable.   more ›

Point Beach May Close Bars at Midnight if They Don't Ante Up

Proposal may call for earlier closing for bars that don't help pay for police services

Bars may have to choose between closing earlier and ponying up to help pay for police if a proposal is passed into law by Point Beach council. A majority of council members voted on Tuesday night at Borough Hall to authorize borough Attorney Sean Gertner to draft an ordinance requiring all establishments in Point Beach with consumption liquor licenses to help pay for police if they want to stay open past midnight. Councilman Michael Corbally made the motion for the proposal at the meeting, including reading from a written version he had prepared. Councilman William Mayer said to him, "This is the first I'm hearing of this. Did our borough attorney see this?" "Briefly," Corbally replied. Mayer said after the meeting that he did not support …

Is this town anti-business? With meter parking and this proposed measure will inevitably wipe out the smaller restaurants/bars in the community. These businesses have been hanging on by a thread the past three to four years. The leaders of the town should sharpen their pencils instead of funding it though small business. Look around... The town has vacant dilapidated businesses all around.Want …   more ›
