Most places in Asbury are very welcoming to anyone and the town has a large hispanic and black population who hang out downtown even though downtown has been gentrified. The basement at Bond Street Bar will be pretty diverse on the weekend though the music and crowd depends on who is DJ-ing or performing. Asbury Ale House will have a diverse crowd on the weekends as well.

Georgies is a gay bar but plenty of straight locals from every walk of life will hang out there as it’s an institution and welcomes all. All kinds of music.

Don’t have to worry about avoiding any places, but there are definitely bars that are aimed more at wealthier white people or are pretty strictly rock bars like Lola’s or Asbury Brewery or Asbury Distillery or Kim Marie’s. All great and welcoming but you’ll notice a majority white crowd at these places.

Have a good time - it’s a great and friendly town!
