In the culinary world, few events capture the imagination of New Jerseyans like the Billy Vegas Supper Club (TBVSC). As this highly exclusive club celebrates its first anniversary, it’s fitting to take a look back at the remarkable journey this pop-up dinner experience has taken—from underground sensation to one of New Jersey’s most coveted culinary events.
Under the visionary leadership of Billy Vegas, TBVSC has become more than a dining experience but a cultural statement, a carefully curated feast that has earned a reputation for blending culinary excellence with an unrivaled sense of exclusivity.
Some of TBVSC’s success can be traced to the initial publications surrounding its debut. From the beginning, the event was presented as a unique dining experience that transcended the food and focused on creating a scene—a place where New Jersey’s finest culinary connoisseurs could gather.
Last year, TBVSC took on a life of its own. Tickets usually sell out quickly, and the ripple effect of word-of-mouth spreads the event into elite circles.
Billy Vegas is the creative force behind TVSC, and with his impressive background in the culinary arts, he’s no stranger to creating unforgettable experiences. Additionally, Vegas has established himself as a master mixologist at the beloved Nettie’s House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. His flair for cocktails, combined with his deep understanding of culinary trends, gives TBVSC a unique edge. Vegas pays attention to detail in every aspect of the supper club, from the ambience to the table settings, ensuring every gathering feels intimate and unique.
As I look back at last year’s coverage of Billy Vegas’ Elite pop-up dinner party, my mind jumped back to Red Gables Music Festival three years ago. Red Gables is another exclusive foodie-centric event that is a melting pot of New Jersey cuisine. I met Vegas at the Apple Jacks hot whiskey station. Billy made a big bucket. It was in that moment, as my taste buds connected the unorthodox combination of Apple Jacks cereal, local aged whiskey, and slow-roasted pulled pork to the visceral experience of witnessing the culinary talent on display at the festival that day that I realized that Billy Vee Garth is a culinary genius.
TBVSC isn’t just about food; It’s a sensory experience.
The club holds 1 to 2 events per month, each set in a carefully chosen location. These venues are not only places to dine, but also an extension of the supper club spirit. Each location is picturesque and often associated with the culinary chef behind the event. Whether the chosen venue is an elegant beachside restaurant or a secluded garden, the setting is integral to the atmosphere and theme of each event. Every TVSSC event is designed to celebrate place and flavour.
The upcoming anniversary event for Barnacle Bill’s in Rumson, New Jersey, promises to uphold that tradition. With its rich history and scenic location, Barnacle Bill’s is a perfect fit for TBVSC’s year-long journey of culinary triumph. What better way to celebrate than serving authentic food inspired by New Jersey culture (hint: The Sopranos) and served family style?
Each event’s menu is curated by Billy Vegas and matured by an exciting collective of New Jersey’s most respected culinary experts. Each course is designed to surprise, delight, and seamlessly blend the familiar with the innovative. Through a harmonious blend of Vegas flavors and atmosphere, he creates excitement for the next bite of food and the next event.
Understandably, custom menus crafted by some of the state’s most influential foodies add to TBVSC’s mystical appeal and make these exclusive pop-up dinners a must-visit for those in the know.
The upcoming event is expected to be no different. The Monday (Columbus Day) event will begin with a cocktail hour at 6pm and dinner at 7pm. In true TVSSC style, guests will be treated to a stunning array of Vegas’ signature drinks, showcasing his famous mixology talents. The cash bar offers Billy Vegas’s carefully crafted cocktails, which pair perfectly with every dish and enhance the taste of every bite.
Vegas will prepare a multi-course meal guaranteed to be both indulgent and inspiring. Those lucky enough to receive tickets will be able to experience firsthand that TBVSC is more than just a meal, an experience that provides a rare glimpse into the culinary minds that shape New Jersey’s food scene.
As TBVSC looks toward its second year, it continues to raise the bar for pop-up dining experiences. Billy Vegas has proven that with vision, talent and a deep respect for the art of dining, even the most unique events can be made approachable and memorable. With each event, TBVSC not only solidifies its status as a supper club but also as a cornerstone of New Jersey’s culinary landscape. The first anniversary of Barnacle Bill’s is not only a celebration of past success, but also a commitment to a future where Billy Vegas and his team of culinary innovations continue to redefine the boundaries of culinary excellence.

“It’s been a great year at the Billy Vegas Supper Club. The demand for this experience seems to be greater than I expected, and the more we learn about, the more exciting it becomes. I think we really deliver When we started this, I didn’t think I would be putting together a team of hospitality professionals without working with some of the best people I’ve ever met in the industry. Collaboration, it’s all impossible. Going to these supper clubs really lets the creativity fly. Any concept I can think of (so far) I can find a way to execute with my team – than ever.
