The Osprey in Manasquan has mandated Tivas, hackey sack not required
Manasquan night-life staple The Osprey has outlawed flip-flops beginning tonight, according to an APP staff report. I’m pretty sure this is patently absurd because who doesn’t wear flips in the summer?? I’ve only been to Osprey once and aside from the $10 cover and $7 Bud Lights, it was a pretty good time. But, guess what I was wearing – oh yes, FLIP-FLOPS. So was everyone else I was with and probably 98% of the people there.

There wasn’t a screaming cat-fight or a crush of paparazzi outside but as promised, DJ Samantha Ronson spun a set onstage at the Surf Club during the decades-old beachfront hot spot’s opening party. Clad in her signature fedora, Lindsay Lohan’s ex looked super intense as she hovered over her Mac and DJ equipment.
I really couldn’t tell you what she played but it was vast array of music from lots of genres – no unntz-unntz techno at all! Sam’s beats even got my wallflower boyfriend dancing out on the floor (it also could have been the booze). The night was a bit chilly so the entrance to the beach from the outer bars was shuttered but you could still see that beautiful Atlantic – easily one of my favorite things about the Surf Club.
Samantha Ronson’s Mac has gone political.
The Surf Club rolled out VIP cards for partiers with Monmouth and Ocean county IDs. Scrawled atop the cards in big red type is LOCAL’S ONLY. Ouch. Grammar’s not their forte but I’ll let it slide, since cheap beer is. Problem is, last summer’s Bring Your Own Mug promotion is out and alleged 24 ounce Coors Light drafts for $2 are in, but check this out –
Maybe not.
Does that cup look like it could hold the equivalent of two cans? I think not. Maybe if we all request the return of Mug Night we can bring back a local favorite. After all one should “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Think Margaret Mead ever dreamed her famous line would be applied to a bunch of cash-strapped booze-hounds?
