Laylow Cocktail Lounge - Cocktail bar in Asbury Park - 603 Mattison Ave, USA

I love that they have transformed this place into a sleigh- low! Acute and an amazing speakeasy downstairs, but be worn the drinks are strong! Some even come with edible garnishes, though, if you’re feeling a little tipsy. lol A fun time was had by all!

Rob is a wonderful human being to start. Crushed it as the bartender and server. Friendly and great service. The cocktails he made like Soothsayer and You Butternut Squash My Dreams are not only creative and inspired but fantastic and delicious. My girlfriend and I each gave him a Hidden Track (describe the spirit and the modifiers you would like) and Rob understood the requests will skill and precision. I requested a rum and herbaceous drink and was blown away by Rob’s instincts and craft. Rob deserves so much love and appreciation for all the hard work he does with amazing craft cocktails and his ability to whip up great drinks on the spot

So happy to have finally made it here and be able to enjoy it.. the third time is the charm. The first two times we were put on a waiting list- I wasn't waiting at the bar to go to the bar, the first two times lol. Anyway, the vibe is very similar to speakeasies we've been to in NY, Philly, and LV - chic and trendy. But there was a birthday there and the patrons were very loud, leaving us not very relaxed, but you can't pick your customers. Most importantly, the drinks were really good- the "Hidden Track" is made for you specifically based on your spirit and flavors you enjoy- really liked that! Needless, to say, we'll be back.

I love it here! I came here for my bachelorette party in October and knew I had to bring my husband after our wedding. We came in Saturday for our reservation at 7:15 and were seated almost immediately. My husband who doesn't typically eat hummus was instantly obsessed with Reyla's rendition. We followed up with drinks downstairs to experience Sleigh Low and we were not disappointed! The drink menu was so fun and unique and everything was delicious. This has easily become my favorite spot in town!!! 10 out of 10 all the way

Laylow is a No-Go I ate an amazing dinner last night at Reyla. My partner is Syrian so the Mediterranean menu offered everything we know and love and the food was really some of the best we've had. However, the nonsense waiting list process to get into Laylow is absolutely ridiculous. We're in Asbury, not NYC! We sat at the bar for about 2 hours eating and spent over $200. After dinner we wanted to go downstairs for an after-dinner drink. We were not familiar with the process and asked an employee where the door was. Eventually, we spoke to the host/manager who said he would try to get us downstairs because there was a 3-hour wait. In the meantime, as someone came out the door, we walked in. We had no idea that this place thinks they are Studio54. We sat at the bar and the manager came down and removed us saying he had people waiting and would try to find us a spot. I just don't understand this silly limited guest policy. And especially, if you're coming from the restaurant, you should be granted entry right away. Total lack of customer service and trying way too hard to be something they're not. You're just a lounge in Asbury. As someone who lives local and has been coming to Asbury for most of my adult life, it seems more and more places are catering to the out-of-town crowd and they forget about their bread-and-butter. We are the folks who still show up on a random weeknight in the dead of winter. I suggest remembering who helps keep the lights on. Laylow, you're just not all that. We moved on to Lola's which I've watched grow from an unknown coffee and gelato shop into a thriving and vibrant bar scene. Friendly staff, amazing drinks and fun guests - we always make a new friend or two when we're there. Laylow should take a look at Lola's playbook. Won't be back and unfortunately this tarnished my feelings about Reyla as well.

Such an inviting speak easy! From the beautiful decor to the lovely waitstaff, this place is such a vibe. The waitlist to get in was crazyy though ngl. But if you stop in a few times they bump you up list. The “I’m on island time” cocktail was delicious, however the severe lack of food or even a menu was concerning.

Absolutely incredible cocktails! Every time they do a themed menu, I try to make it. If you want some of the best crafted drinks in town, I highly suggest you hit up LayLow.

Very unorganized. When we got there they said we needed to make reservations to go to the speak easy. We went ahead and made reservations. As soon as we got the text saying there was seating available... we got there and nobody took care of us as we sat on the couches. Other people were being seated and we were completely ignored & forgotten. We had to approach them and remind them that our reservation was ready. Drinks were okay, downstairs service was good.
