Long Branch patrons are ready for another season with the rooftop club Avenue Nuit…lounging poolside by day before dancing the night away

by Charlotte defazio

Avenue Nuit sits atop the Avenue Le Club French inspired restaurant in Long Branch’s Pier Village. The building is perfectly located between the beachfront and boardwalk, allowing its rooftop t o provide panoramic views of the Jersey Shore and Atlantic Ocean. The nightclub space, designed by London-based architect David Collins, is intended to make one think of France’s beautiful Saint-Tropez. White, ivory, and sea blue tones are present throughout with the rooftop pool, outdoor fireplace, VIP tables, and oversized bed seating. The elegant ambience adds a tranquil and comfortable feeling to the rowdiness of a typical nightclub.

In addition to the restaurant and nightclub, Avenue Nuit has its own private beach club hosting daytime parties, and is a winning venue for a variety of events, including birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and wedding services/receptions. The upscale atmosphere is most often paired with dapper, fashionable clientele.

Reservations are strongly recommended to escape the long line of hopefuls each evening. The club tends to be exclusive, so a good move is to go with a group of friends and reserve a VIP table with bottle service. (A Dom Perignon Oenotheque 1996 for $1,000 or Grey Goose Magnum for $500? Why not?)

The sought-after “Lunch Break Mondays” will be starting May 25th. This wild rooftop pool and dance party is happening every Monday until Labor Day—with pool floats, guests sporting bathing suits, DJ Klutch, and cocktails flowing.

The club opens up for the weekend with Saturday rooftop parties being most popular. The party runs from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and always provides different DJs (lineup for May and June includes DJ Toro & 92.3 Live, DJ Klutch & photos by Kirill Was Here, Big Ben, DJ Prostyle, and DJ Camilo).

In short, this is the ideal spot to party with friends on the weekend after getting bronzed at the beach.

À la vôtre!
