Alcohol may bring an end to teen nights at Jenkinson’s nightclub on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, the Associated Press reports. Owners plan to discuss the problem today.
The club sets aside Tuesday nights for teens to dance and no alcohol is sold. However, dozens of teens have been charged with alcohol-related offenses, including 12 with underage drinking this past Tuesday. They ranged in age from 14 to 17. Authorities believe most are from out of town and use public transportation to get to the town.
A Jenkinson’s spokeswoman told the Asbury Park Press the club might eliminate the program or change the night that it’s held.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
