Yesterday we celebrated the fifth anniversary of McLoone's Pier House. It is hard to believe how much has happened since we took that leap of faith and opened our second location back in 2005. It has made quite a name for itself and is a favorite of Jersey Shore visitors and locals alike. With a great new spring menu, outdoor dining, as well as the entertainment and views we are famous for, please stop in and visit us.
Since the opening of Pier House, development has been moving along at a steady pace. Even with an economic climate that was less than favorable, McLoone's Restaurants opened McLoone's Woodbridge Grille within Favorites in Fords, and in Asbury Park, Tim McLoone's Supper Club and McLoone's Asbury Grille. We are about to spread our wings a bit further and move to yet another shore............the banks of The Potomac. McLoone's Restaurants proudly announces an agreement with The Peterson Companies of Fairfax, Virginia for the opening of their sixth restaurant, McLoone's Pier House in Maryland's National Harbor. This waterfront restaurant will offer upscale American cuisine for the entire family. The Piano Bar will feature live entertainment and with its full water views of The Potomac River, McLoone's Pier House will be THE place to view spectacular sunsets while enjoying cocktails or dining. The anticipated opening date will be July 2, 2010.
But don't think that just because we are involved in a new project, exciting things are not still on the horizon here at home. We have a wonderful array of upcoming events that should please everyone.
At McLoone's Rum Runner the early warm weather has prompted many people to come and enjoy dining on our Boathouse Deck overlooking the Shrewsbury River. New spring menus are in use so be sure to stop by for a taste. Speaking of taste, A Taste of Sea Bright is Saturday, May 1st and tickets are available for purchase at Rum Runner. Besides our regular schedule of wonderful entertainment, we have added an extra show for that night. BethAnne Clayton will be performing downstairs in our Piano Bar. Upstairs, in our Riverside Room, Kristian Rex and Carl Gentry with Electric Boots will be making a special appearance. This is their first show at Rum Runner. We hope that all of their fans can come out to support them.
Meanwhile, down in Asbury Park, the Spring schedule at The Supper Club is really heating up. Tonight we welcome Jazz great, Dave Valentin with Richie Flores and Bill O'Connell. They will be performing music from their Triple Play album. Next week we will feature Jeffrey Gaines who Rolling Stone Magazine heralds as the voice of a new generation. Opening for Jeffrey will be local favorites Bob Burger, Lisa Bouchelle, and Jimmy Leahey. In May, we are proud to present the legendary BEN E. KING in concert for two shows on Friday, May 28th. What a great way to start your Memorial Day weekend. John Tropea, who is known as a musician's musician, will also be back on June 4th. And of course, there will be many great nights with Tim McLoone and The Shirleys including an encore performance of their Tapestry Show on June 11th. Our newest event, Sundays with Sinatra Brunch has already proven to be a popular addition. There is simply not enough room in this blog to mention each and every exciting event that will be happening at The Supper Club. Please check out our website for a full schedule.
McLoone's Asbury Grille will be rolling out their spring menu within the next few days. With its large outdoor dining area right on the famous Asbury Park Boardwalk as well as a great view from inside, there is no better place to watch the world go by. You can now also check their website for the weekend entertainment schedule at The Grille.
McLoone's Woodbridge Grille, located within Favorites, has been enjoying great success since rolling out their new menu. Please be sure to stop by and visit us if you are in the neighborhood.
On a sad note, McLoone's Restaurants and Tim and The Shirleys sadly mourn the loss of Delores Holmes, beloved friend, long time member of The Shirleys, and devoted Mom to Layonne. Delores was also one of the original members of Holiday Express. The memory of her warm smile and beautiful voice will continue to enrich our lives.
But as Dee would want it, the show must go on.....................so please stop by and see us soon and visit our website at www.mcloones.com
