50 Best Bars near Ocean Pines

“We went to see a friend's band (Back To The Beach - Excellent) and have dinner. The food was good and was there in good time, considering how busy the place was. Our server, Kristal, was awesome though very busy. We knew it would be busy, so we expected what we got. Our only gripe was, they only allow a 2 hour limit on the table. They told us up front and they allowed us a longer time, but they eventually ask us to vacate the table but said we could take the chairs so we could continue watching the show. Been here befits and we'll be back.“

“Such a chill, cool place to hang out when looking over the beach. Alex was so great in his recommendations. So enjoyed his rum punch today. Came with our pitbull, Lily, today. He gave her a treat and even gave us hope he made the drink we wanted so we could go back to our hotel and imbibe. Right now we are having it on our balcony, listening to beach vibe music. Thanks Alex! We will be back. : )“

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“

“Right on the bay where we had a hotel wonderful little 50-yard walk maybe always kept clean the services very friendly laid-back outdoor seating they have music like Thursday Friday Saturday.

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.“

“We absolutely love this place! After moving here, it took us a while to find an Italian place we really enjoyed. We found Mio’s and have been thrilled ever since. The food and service are always great, even on hectic nights the servers and expeditors are always friendly and accommodating. Happy hour and lunch offer amazing deals and we enjoy the live music during happy hours (Bob Elliot has been a favorite!). And I promise, it’s totally worth it to get extra bread!!“

“great place great staff . Chicken cheese steak best in ocmd“

“This place is a hidden gem, a little hard to find, but once we were here we enjoyed sitting outside on the sandbar, live music, and a beautiful view of the bay. The service and food was amazing. We tried the shrimp quesadilla, fish tacos, crab cake tacos, crab dip fries, and a noodle bowl with shrimp. Everything was so delicious!!! Ignore old reviews, that was not our experience at all! Give this place a try!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough amazing things about Fishtails! My son and his father recently ate here while visiting Ocean City, and after he came back home to St. Mary’s County, we realized his phone had been left behind. When I called the restaurant, not only did they confirm they had it, but the manager, Johnny, immediately offered to send it back to us. He asked for my address and shipped it straight to our home — no charge, no hassle, no questions asked. In a world where good customer service is hard to find, this went above and beyond anything I could have expected. This level of kindness, honesty, and genuine care for customers is rare, and it speaks volumes about the type of people who run this restaurant. Even though we live hours away, they treated us like locals and family. Thank you so much, Johnny and the team at Fishtails, for going the extra mile — you’ve earned a lifelong fan in me, and we’ll be sure to visit every time we’re back in Ocean City. 🌊🐟💙 From my son: “I really enjoyed my time at fish tales,the food is great,service is also great,and I even left my phone there 4 hours away and they shipped it without any trouble. This is a really a good place, I would 100% recommend!! ““

“The food and service were great!“

“One of our regular go-to’s. A home-cooked meal when you don’t want to stay home or cook a meal! Laric was our server last night. Wonderful personality, sense of humor and attentiveness. He gets 5 stars, too!“

“Absolutely amazing food. Fast and fresh. Mimosa flights were excellent. I had the Kings Breakfast and added chocolate chips. These were the best pancakes I have had in a while. The potatoes are unreliable. Great seasoning with posted and onions. Yuummmm. Glad we stopped here and hope to come back. Very friendly staff.“

“We spent 5 hours here Wednesday. What a cool atmosphere. Our servers were great. I can't remember our first servers name but she was great. Juan was our 2 nd server during happy hour. He was great too. The food and drinks were delicious. The music was awesome. Love that they have music all day.“
