The Stone Pony opened it's doors in 1974 and is known as a starting point for many musicians, first and foremost for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, the house-band for much of the mid-seventies. The venue also played a seminal role in the early careers of New Jersey natives Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Jon Bon Jovi, Bam Bam Bigelow, working as a bouncer before his days as a professional wrestler, and Massachusetts native actor/musician "Miami" Steve Van Zandt - the first guitarist, producer and manager of the Asbury Jukes. It continues to attract top musical artists from across the world.

According to the vice president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Robert Santelli, "the club has already earned its place in history as one of rock 'n' roll's great venues. Most rock critics and historians that I come in contact with on a regular basis feel that The Stone Pony is one of the greatest rock clubs of all time."
