“We came to Ocean City, Maryland for Oceans Calling, and unfortunately the festival was canceled. But sometimes the best nights are the ones you don’t plan!

We stumbled upon the Purple Moose, and after coming to Ocean City for years, we’re so happy we finally found this place. The staff went above and beyond, the service was fantastic, and the parties were an absolute blast.

What started as a canceled festival turned into some unforgettable nights. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to partying with the Purple Moose crew again!“

“Our Go To place on the bay in OC MD-always a great time, best staff, food, drinks and the view in incredible. Nautical style with class and a great fun crowd!! Stop in you'll love it. Highly Recommend- Mark Hozey“

“Went to see houses of the holy, great show, great beer menu and primo hoagies aside of them.“

“I love this bar. They have an area out back with a bar ground covered with sand and beach umbrellas so it's just like your standing or sitting on the beach with a dock in your hand. The people were great very polite and inviting. I will definitely revisit this place“

“Great 8 sided bar, fast bartenders, strong drinks, and down to earth! Pool seems welcoming, you can see the ocean from here, lots of island drinks and live music. Crowd on this Sunday is late 30’s to mid 50’s. Band is having fun, pool is full. Lots of locals, I’ll be back, multiple times.
I almost forgot, they have an open flame grill in the middle of the bar and make great burgers!“

“On Monday, August 4th, we had a party of 18 for light fare dining and drinks. Our server, Nikki, was exceptional. Professional, accommodating, super nice and was so efficient. Our food was delivered timely and everyone was pleased with the quality and temperature of the menu items ordered. Not an easy task for such a large party and on a very busy night. Drinks orders were also served timely and were delicious. Thank you Thomas, Nikki and staff for a wonderful evening.“

“I’ve been here multiple times for barrio and it never disappoints! The pollo nachos were very flavorful and definitely a good share item for 2-3 people (or maybe even one if you have the appetite! haha)
Also got the birra tacos just as good as every other time. I think this is definitely one of the few spots in ocean city I’ve been to that’s actually worth the money!“

Even the honey mustard was on point haha… and no, I wasn’t drunk when we ordered. Completely 100% sober.I would definitely come back!“

“We had dinner on the top deck of the restaurant and the view was spectacular of the Bay. My husband ordered the biggest soft shell crab sandwich that we've ever seen and I ordered the crab imperial which was huge and all crab meat, no filler. Both meals were excellent. Our waiter, Dallas, was super nice and very attentive. We would recommend this restaurant highly“

“We love stopping here. Great staff, fun atmosphere & tasty food. Our favorite location is on the boardwalk so you can still enjoy the beach weather while dinning. The staff really makes this place in my opinion. Its a must stop bar/restaurant when we are in town. Monster margarita is just that and the burritos are HUGE. Thanks Guidos Burritos !“

“Barrett was our server. She is the best .we had crab cake and ahi tuna food was delicious. The corn on the cob was fantastic“

“Tracey was an amazing bartender! she was welcoming and so much fun. I'll definitely be back!“

“What a great show on NYE! Fuzz Box Piranha nailed it!! The female bar tender was amazing and made me a mocktail based off of one of the available cocktails. Being alcohol free has its drawbacks in taste when going to bars with friends. Thank you for a great evening.“

“Our third time there - always great! Our server Monica was terrific. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was a bit expensive but was great! I had two oyster shooters, my wife had a cherry lime aid crush - excellent. I had the scallops and my wife had braised short ribs. All cooked perfectly. We were given a nice choice of tables on the bay. Wife had the mud slide cake for dessert. Very yummy. Hard to find solid places to eat in OC. This one has held up quite well. Will be back again!“

“The food was fantastic! We had a burger and the steak wrap and both were delicious! The service was a little slow but they were hopping; also it was a bit of a chaotic scene with the live music, bar, and dancing. It was a fun vibe, not ideal for conversation or small children since the music was quite loud but a fun beachside eat regardless.“

“It was a great experience at OC chopsticks, Asian Bristo“

“Best steamed shrimp in OC“

“Lovely place. Would go again“

“Great experience, good and views we sat right on the water prettymuch. We did need to wait for about 40 minutes for a table because we had a group of 9 but there was a spot to play corn hole and of course a bar while we waited. Food was super expensive for where we were neither.“
