: : Is there a strip club in Red Bank?
: A: Not directly in RB. There is one called "The Cabaret" which is only 15 minutes South on Rt 35. It it right before Monmouth Mall. If you want to travel 1/2 hour south on Rt 35 there is "Calendar Girls" (formerly Heartbreakers). That is the one you want to goto!
: : Is there a gay bar?
: A: Not in Red Bank per say...but it is a ...how would I say it "gay friendly" place. The Downtown Cafe tends to get mixed crowd on some nights...it's very loungy and they have cool bands play downstairs...func/jazz/jam style. Upstairs they play lounge house..it's dark with couches and shit. Asbury Park has the predominetly gay bars. Paradise Club is the biggest one there
: : Is there a porn shop? An occult shop? A twenty-four hour grocery store?
: A: No porn shop...but around the corner on Monmouth Stree they have a Te Llamo that has lots of HarCore Pon mags...that's it.
: : How's the crime situation? Are there thugs hanging on the street? Homeless people? Skater punks? Hippies?
: A: Safe streets in town, no crime...we have skaters...hippies (though they tend to come out more in the summer) and two homeless people that I have seen for the past 3 years...believe it or not...I have only see two and most of us now them by name...or nickname I should say.
: : Are the police prompt, kind and forgiving?
: A: They are used to visitors and drunks (The movie theatre and Stash are in the heart of town...so are the bars...in all my years of living here they are not 1/2 as bad the rest of NJ cops I've run into.
: : Is there a karoake bar? Do you wanna hear "Black Velvet" or "Night Moves"?
: A: Not into Kareoake...can't answer that question
: : Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to stay in the quieter, cheaper hotel, other than the joy of drunk-ass college boys pissing on my door and singing "Berserker" at 4 a.m.?
: A:If you are looking for nice living to escape the madness...goto the Court Yard Marriot...it's right off the parkway and close to town.
: : These are the things *I* want to know.
: A:If you need to know anything else...ask me
