This NJ Bar In The Pine Barrens Is Jersey’s Newest Hidden Gem

I love finding new little hidden gems around Ocean County and the Shore. Places that are a good ride off the beaten path, but make it so worth the trip once you get there. For example, Antique Village in West Creek is a place I'd consider a hidden gem.

Hollow Pines also has a full live music schedule, and what's really cool is that Hollow Pines offers a free shuttle service, so if you don't want to drive there, you don't have to! The shuttle mainly services Beach Haven West, Manahawkin, and Little Egg Harbor, and it's totally free for you to call up and hop on to get to and from Hollow Pines.
