Roxanne is an excellent server. I brought all my friends because of Roxanne. She is an amazing asset to your business. I love the atmosphere and great drinks. Always an amazing experience!

Very bad service. I was at the bar at Reyla trying to get a drink and they ignored me. I was on the waitlist and they skipped over me. Don’t come here if your ready to waste your

Rob is a wonderful human being to start. Crushed it as the bartender and server. Friendly and great service. The cocktails he made like Soothsayer and You Butternut Squash My Dreams are not only creative and inspired but fantastic and delicious. My girlfriend and I each gave him a Hidden Track (describe the spirit and the modifiers you would like) and Rob understood the requests will skill and precision. I requested a rum and herbaceous drink and was blown away by Rob’s instincts and craft. Rob deserves so much love and appreciation for all the hard work he does with amazing craft cocktails and his ability to whip up great drinks on the spot

Rob is a genie with (several) bottles. It will rub you the right way.**but actually, hit the mark every time and don’t overlook the hidden track. This man knows his way around the bar, is passionate about his craft, and it shows**

I love that they have transformed this place into a sleigh- low! Acute and an amazing speakeasy downstairs, but be worn the drinks are strong! Some even come with edible garnishes, though, if you’re feeling a little tipsy. lolA fun time was had by all!

I love it here! I came here for my bachelorette party in October and knew I had to bring my husband after our wedding. We came in Saturday for our reservation at 7:15 and were seated almost immediately. My husband who doesn't typically eat hummus was instantly obsessed with Reyla's rendition. We followed up with drinks downstairs to experience Sleigh Low and we were not disappointed! The drink menu was so fun and unique and everything was delicious. This has easily become my favorite spot in town!!! 10 out of 10 all the way

The ambiance is great but unfortunately it is poorly managed. The hostess insists on making you wait to get down to the bar. You can elect to be added to the so called waitlist by scanning a cd case with your phone. Even though the bar was not crowded they could not do away with the pretentious air of escorting you the bar. They turn away paying customers. I had recommend this place to others but will never do so again. Not worth it. There are other better places in Asbury.

It's in Asbury Park. I live in Jersey City. It's an hour and ten minutes away. Jersey City has bars, but not like this one. Drove down in the pouring December rain right after work last week. It's always a blast to go for Sleighlow and Leilow, Christmas vibes and tiki vibes respectively. The drinks are amazing and the ambience is top notch. It's a true speakeasy, not that half hearted stuff you see everywhere now. The staff are super cool and attentive. If you find yourself nearby (2 hours or less), come on by and check it out!

Laylow is a No-GoI ate an amazing dinner last night at Reyla. My partner is Syrian so the Mediterranean menu offered everything we know and love and the food was really some of the best we've had.However, the nonsense waiting list process to get into Laylow is absolutely ridiculous. We're in Asbury, not NYC! We sat at the bar for about 2 hours eating and spent over $200. After dinner we wanted to go downstairs for an after-dinner drink. We were not familiar with the process and asked an employee where the door was. Eventually, we spoke to the host/manager who said he would try to get us downstairs because there was a 3-hour wait. In the meantime, as someone came out the door, we walked in. We had no idea that this place thinks they are Studio54. We sat at the bar and the manager came down and removed us saying he had people waiting and would try to find us a spot. I just don't understand this silly limited guest policy. And especially, if you're coming from the restaurant, you should be granted entry right away. Total lack of customer service and trying way too hard to be something they're not. You're just a lounge in Asbury. As someone who lives local and has been coming to Asbury for most of my adult life, it seems more and more places are catering to the out-of-town crowd and they forget about their bread-and-butter. We are the folks who still show up on a random weeknight in the dead of winter. I suggest remembering who helps keep the lights on.Laylow, you're just not all that. We moved on to Lola's which I've watched grow from an unknown coffee and gelato shop into a thriving and vibrant bar scene. Friendly staff, amazing drinks and fun guests - we always make a new friend or two when we're there. Laylow should take a look at Lola's playbook.Won't be back and unfortunately this tarnished my feelings about Reyla as well.

Dinner | $100+I visited Reyla for the first time and being Middle Eastern myself I was pretty impressed with the cuisine. The bartender was amazing and the food totally delish. Then it all went bad from there. After spending $200 for 2 people we wanted to have an after dinner drink at the downstairs Laylow.. I had no idea there was a 2 hour wait to get in so I said the the manager that I just spent $200 and was at the bar for 2 hours. He said let me see what I can do and walked away and never came back. I noticed a locked keypad on the door which seemed weird and a fire hazard. The bartender said once someone leaves and opens the door you can go in so that’s what I did. It was a cool basement vibe. We were seated at the bar and began to order a drink when the same manager who said let me see what I can do ripped me and my partner out of our seats and pulled us out of the dungeon and back into the restaurant. He was completely and utterly rude. He treated me as if I was a 5 year old. I just spent 2 hours and $200 at his bar. So although I had a great experience at Reyla he completely turned me off. I left and had my after dinner drink at Lola’s who never disappoints!!

Very unorganized.When we got there they said we needed to make reservations to go to the speak easy.We went ahead and made reservations.As soon as we got the text saying there was seating available... we got there and nobody took care of us as we sat on the couches. Other people were being seated and we were completely ignored & forgotten.We had to approach them and remind them that our reservation was ready.Drinks were okay, downstairs service was good.

Absolutely incredible cocktails! Every time they do a themed menu, I try to make it. If you want some of the best crafted drinks in town, I highly suggest you hit up LayLow.
