Step back to the Long Branch Pier, bought in April 1979 by Pat Cicalese and Carmen Ricci, which became a hub of entertainment. Midway up this pier stood the Pier Pub, initially leased to Fran Marincola as a basic bar catering to locals and fishermen. Recognizing the shift towards DJ-driven nightlife, Marincola undertook a significant renovation. Reopening in late spring of 1982, the Pier Pub was transformed with multiple smaller bars, a DJ booth, and a dance floor, quickly becoming a popular Jersey Shore destination known for its lively atmosphere and industry camaraderie.

The revitalized Pier Pub thrived as a central spot for socializing and dancing, drawing large crowds and fostering a strong sense of community. Sadly, this vibrant era was cut short by a tragic fire in July 1987. The fire, which started underneath the boardwalk, engulfed the entire pier, including the beloved Pier Pub, bringing an end to its run as a cherished Long Branch landmark. Though gone, the memories of its lively nights and oceanfront setting continue to resonate with those who experienced its heyday.
