50 Best Bars near Ocean Pines

“I had lunch at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club the other day with my nephew and young niece. The service could not have been better! Friendly, quick, gave my niece some crayons and a coloring sheet. We had the truffle fries -- very tasty and nice size portion. My nephew had the shrimp tacos. He very much enjoyed! My little niece had the chicken fingers and fries. She also enjoyed it very much, perfect portion. We brought one chicken finger and a few fries home. I had a delicious smash burger with fries. Delish! We were outside on the lovely patio with the great view. This is a great place to have a nice meal, or just enjoy a couple drinks & apps at the outside bar. Casual, but so well maintained. Beautiful patio, beautiful view. Recommend!!“

“This place was right in front of our hotel so it was nice to able to be able to walk right out and get a drink. The frozen drinks were great! Standard size drinks were $12 which seemed be about standard for the boardwalk. You aren't allowed to drink on the boardwalk so it was nice to have a place right off the boardwalk where you could sit and have a drink and be outside.“

“We stumbled upon this place as part of a trip over during the FIFA soccer World Cup, we had the pleasure of cheering on team USA and being from England there was top draw banter between the locals and our family. So much so, that one of the locals was kind enough to buy our son a T-shirt and help celebrate Independence Day. We also had a great catch up with the owner and his family, wonderful people and a wonderful venue - we will certainly be back again to enjoy great service , great Beer and a great atmosphere. we have been coming to Delaware for over 10 years now, this was quite simply the warmest and nicest welcome anywhere we have been…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧“

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.“

The bartenders were awesome and we enjoyed hanging out with fellow patrons. We love that they are police and fire friendly as well. Already can't wait to go back on our next trip.“

“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.

Our waiter, Dallas, was super nice and very attentive. We would recommend this restaurant highly“

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

“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!! ““

“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!“

“Great place to have a private gathering. The upstairs venue is set with a stage and side booths. Mio's food is excellent for both buffet or sit down service. The staff are efficient, professional and fun! As a local patron, I feel blessed to have them service our community.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Best steamed shrimp in OC“

“The cheese fries are the best around! Really enjoyed the Cajun chicken too. They could use another server, one person covered the bar and all the tables. Dontmlet the restaurant being at a gas station fool you, food is delicious and my daughter wants to go back every time we are in the area.“
