Anderson Market Is Becoming an Evening Address in Red Bank
Anderson Market posts its hours as 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Those hours describe a food hall and grocery. Since late September, though, every new addition at 200 Monmouth Street has been built for the evening.
The Lobby Bar turns into a cocktail bar at night. Studio Omakase seats guests only in the evening. Little Andy's Burgers plans late-night weekend hours and a walk-up window for orders after the food hall closes. The market passed its first anniversary in September, and its new energy has been moving later in the day ever since.
Anderson Market opened on Monday, September 8, 2025, inside the brick Anderson Building near the Red Bank train station. Red Bank Green described the building as 116 years old at the time. The space had been mostly empty since Sickles Market collapsed in February 2024. Sickles, a family-owned food seller from Little Silver, had opened a grab-and-go market there four years earlier.
The site's history goes back further. According to the market's own story page, the corner started as Franklin Pierce Stryker's horse-and-carriage stable. When the original stable burned, Stryker saved all nine horses and rebuilt. The building later housed carriages and classic cars.
Founder Chris Viola, whose company Culture Collective Hospitality Group runs several restaurants, chose not to bring in one operator for the whole space. He subleased stalls to vendors who each specialize in something different.
"The idea for me is to get the best in class in here, so the ones that excel at what they do, like Mollyboards charcuterie, she's way better than anybody else that I'm going to bring in. So let them be great at doing cheese." Chris Viola to Red Bank Green, September 2025
On opening day, the lineup was built for daytime errands and lunch. It included a Nashville hot chicken stand with a Pakistani spice twist, a noodle shop, a fishmonger, a florist, a butcher selling sustainable meat, and Mollyboards serving charcuterie and grilled cheese on sourdough from a baker a few stalls away. Outside vendors ran seven stalls. The market itself ran a salad stand, a noodle eatery and a small grocery selling eggs, butter and produce. Booskerdoo, the coffee shop that stayed open through the Sickles closure, kept its sunny spot.
That model fit an 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. schedule. The changes this fall don't fit inside it.
The changes came close together:
As of early October, the first three have happened and Little Andy's has not opened yet. The grand opening alone ran three hours past the market's usual Saturday close.
Red Bank Green called The Lobby Bar the final piece in remaking the ground floor of the old warehouse. It does two jobs. Culture Collective's press release says that by day it runs "a fresh juice and made-to-order smoothie counter with a record playing start to finish." By evening it becomes "a cocktail and aperitivo bar with inspired bar snacks, cocktails, and low or no ABV drinks."
That makes The Lobby the hinge of the building. The same counter serves a morning smoothie and an evening aperitivo. Its regular hours haven't been published yet, so check before planning a late visit around it.
Studio Omakase sits in a room next to The Lobby Bar. Chef Steven Wong serves a 12-course tasting menu built around the day's fish, with a set number of seatings each night. Wong was most recently head sushi chef at Moko Omakase in New York. He has cooked at Zuma Omakase, Sushi Noz, Sushi of Gari, Nobu and MEGU, as well as Mila in Miami Beach. He also once owned Nouveau Sushi in Montclair.
"I'm excited to open the first omakase in Red Bank," Wong said in the release.
The booking page lays out the logistics. Service runs Wednesday through Sunday, with four evening seatings at the 14-seat counter. Seats are reserved and paid for in advance. The total is more than the $108 headline:
| Line item | As listed |
|---|---|
| Base price per person | $108 |
| Gratuity | 20% |
| Processing fee | 3% |
| Sales tax | 6.625% |
The first night of service hadn't been announced publicly as of early October. Reservations are the surest way to know when the counter is running.
Of the three additions, Little Andy's Burgers stretches the building's hours the furthest. Owner Mike Solomon started out selling burgers to family and friends from his apartment. He launched the Little Andy's food truck in May, and it has operated mostly at the Asbury Park Food Collective on Sewall Avenue. The menu centers on West Coast-style smash burgers, crinkle-cut fries and handheld churro apple pies.
The Red Bank stall's hours are where it differs from the rest of the market. NJ.com reports that it will open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at first, and Solomon may gradually extend hours as late as midnight. NJ Monthly reports that it will serve lunch and dinner daily, with extended late-night hours on weekends and a walk-up window for orders outside the food hall's hours.
Solomon described the move simply. "It's a way more efficient setup," he told NJ.com. "There's seating, there's a bar, and we can open late-night." His truck will keep running pop-ups around the Jersey Shore.
The walk-up window means Anderson Market will have a counter built to serve people after the main doors close. That's a first for a building that opened as a grocery and lunch hall.
| Spot | What it serves | When | Booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Lobby Bar | Juice and smoothies by day, cocktails and aperitivo by night | Day into evening; regular hours not yet published | No booking details published |
| Studio Omakase | 12-course fish-led tasting | Wednesday to Sunday, four evening seatings | Prepaid reservation |
| Little Andy's Burgers | Smash burgers, crinkle-cut fries, churro apple pies | 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at opening, later on weekends planned | Walk-up window planned for after hall hours |
The core of the market is still there. The current Food & Bar directory lists Booskerdoo Coffee, the Butcher, Local 130 Seafood, Salads and Seoul BBQ, plus The Lobby and Studio Omakase. The Pantry side covers butcher, grocery, bakery and seafood departments. Local 130 Seafood has run a market in Asbury Park for several years and works mostly with the local East Coast fishing fleet. Individual stalls haven't published their own hours, so the market-wide 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. schedule is the safest guide for groceries and lunch.
Timing affects parking as well. The market's FAQ says there's a lot on the side of the building, and the train station lot is available after 10 a.m. Evening visits fall comfortably inside that window. An early coffee at Booskerdoo means using the side lot.
A full fall evening at the Anderson Building now looks like this. Pick up fish at Local 130 before 8 p.m. on a weekday, have an aperitivo at The Lobby, and after October 12, get a burger from the walk-up window on the way home.
