Tucked among the pitch pines just off Route 9 in West Creek, Hollow Pines is a year-round restaurant and bar built for long dinners, craft cocktails, and the kind of nights that never feel rushed. A gathering place in the heart of Southern Ocean County.

Worth the drive. Even better once you arrive.

Raw Bar & Seafood

Fresh oysters on the half shell, clams, shrimp, and seafood towers — the best raw bar in Ocean County, sourced local from the NJ Shore.

Craft Cocktails

One of the best craft cocktail and spirits programs near LBI and Manahawkin — rooted in tradition with a Pine Barrens twist.

Duckpin Bowling

The only duckpin bowling in New Jersey — four lanes downstairs. A unique date night or family friendly activity in Ocean County.
