Best Dive Bars in Ocean City, MD | 2020

[@adamczarnik8833]

You definitely hit the nail on the head with most, kudos Trey! I just wish Peppers Tavern was still around for you to include in this list.

[@carolczimback8665]

I have an old T-shirt from the Bearded Clam. I got it decades ago. It's still in Great shape.

[@RichPrice_livebyoc]

Nice one Trey! You hit ‘em. They call that Cork Bar, Bearded Clam and Crawl St. strip “Black Out Alley” Very fitting😅🤢

[@TravelwithTrey]

Thanks, Rich. I didn't know that!

[@garybloss6506]

The Purple Moose and the Frog Bar always had the best beach babes chugging beers down and wearing that coconut sexy sun tan lotion. Man, I loved those old days !

[@2001pontiacta]

I watch this one, from time to time. I love OCMD, n love this video! Of these bars

[@johnringoo756]

Cool.love the channel!

[@TravelwithTrey]

Like your name too. If you want to see us visit Johnny Ringo's grave, check out this episode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqK6k5SJfK6Gec0

[@kaznum1fan]

Frog bar my favorite place to go. Haven't had a chance to check out the new location

[@cupcakepaper7743]

I also worked waiting tables for Cadillac Jacks on the boards. It was owned by the Purple Moose.

[@jimafton5659]

Back in the day Cadillac Jack's was the spot for oldies then to the moose for a band out of Baltimore The Great Train Robbery

[@glutenfreejoe6099]

Awesome video Local bars in OC are the best. We go to Ocean City typically by Route 90 or Route 54 Sure miss BJ's on the Bay which was at 78th street Bayside had been going there since the 1980s even on New Years Eve they were open all year round

[@jimafton5659]

And B J ’s had a smaller place around 6 or 7 st below the ballfields also on the bay lots locals and seasonal workers

[@carolczimback8665]

I know that view. Your right near the Coconut Mallory on Faggers Island. I stay at the Mallory quite a bit.

[@TravelwithTrey]

You are correct!

[@JohnThomas-lq5qp]

Nice vid. Have not seen a coin operated cigarette machine in over 25 years. Heard that they are illegal in most states. Been going down to OC twice a year last 20 years and never saw halve of these bars.

[@TravelwithTrey]

Awesome! I hope it provides some inspiration to go out and visit them next time you are down. You meet some of the most authentic and salt of the earth people in dive bars!

[@jimafton5659]

Remember when a local Am Legion had a machine 22 ¢ a pack you would get 3 pennies back sealed in the pack Long time ago

[@humboldtharry4248]

Omg the Alamo! The most hilarious reviews on trip advisor. That place is LEGENDARY!

[@maryv8578]

Great video! The Lucky Anchor Bar and Grille is also on Wicomico Street. Wonderful little dive bar!

[@chriscoccagna5917]

Worked in OC from 86 - 95. You did a great job. When I lived downtown and had the night off, Harbor Inn was the call to have a couple cold ones and not worry about anybody gettin out of hand or overly drunk. Nice call on Ponzetti's on the northside. A neighborhood feel with people just doing their own thing.

[@kevinkiss3340]

What happened to the Electric Circus 17th street?

[@spanzek]

Great video Trey. My favorite bar in your list is the Harbor Inn. I’ve been going there for years. Everyone there is friendly to you as long as you don’t act like an A Hole. Hanging on the “patio” outside having a smoke is enjoyable. I never knew that Coins beer looked that good! Cheers bud!

[@surfercharliel7928]

Harbor Inn! Thank you Trey! Awesome video! Captures all the best dives in OCMD.

[@surfercharliel7928]

RIP Gary, The Moose is my most favorite place in town!

[@cupcakepaper7743]

I worked at Daisey’s Wheel House in 1991 … it was a biker dive bar. I was a college student and it paid the rent bartending.

[@5cats2kids8]

Love Whiskers!

[@jennaswanson550]

Harbor Inn is one of our favorites!!!!!!!!!

[@ripp4775]

Nice job!

[@wordsmith]

Proud of how you’ve grown this Trey. Keep it going! Rooting for you!

[@TravelwithTrey]

I'm glad to see people are interested! It takes a lot of effort to pull these videos together. :)

[@wordsmith]

@@TravelwithTrey I definitely know so that's why I wanted to stop by and tell you the great job your doing. Takes consistency and good content; both you doing so keep it up. I see the results.

[@vladcostea922]

Your videos make me dream again about the States and OCMD! I need to come back someday. :) Great channel!

[@TravelwithTrey]

Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying.

[@MayorofNumber3]

Well done. I go to almost all of those places when I’m down there

[@jeffmiller4832]

I’ve been going to Kirby’s Pub since 2000. I can’t believe you didn’t mention the steamed shrimp and onions or the Kirby fries. The ceiling used to be covered with dollar bills. And how they got there is a question you can ask next time you’re there. Enjoyed the video. By the way, today is July 11 2021. All is well on the Delmarva peninsula. 🍻🖖

[@TravelwithTrey]

Awesome Jeff! Thanks for the update, brother!

[@kingmondayvoo3675]

Thank you, Trey. Brings back memories of the "good ole days"/the way OC USED to be (went to SSC in the 80's and worked here during the Summers. RIP Ed Burke Brass Balls Saloon-tough SOB who ALWAYS paid me in cash!!. Heading down next week and can't wait to get my old, tired bones into that cool, salty ocean!

[@TravelwithTrey]

Thanks, brother. Hope you have a great time!

[@kevinkiss3340]

Do you remember the Wild Goose Chase on 56th street on the bay.

[@chriscoccagna5917]

Ed was the best. Really respected him. Was a tough nut to crack. But the man taught me some life lessons whether he meant it not. He also helped a few guys who worked for him eventually become bar owners.

Hope these places are still around this summer. Family heading down in july. Let's all get our shots and start living again!

[@darlenelipuma7769]

Frog Bar will be gone. They're changing/tearing down that whole area.

[@2001pontiacta]

The Harbour inn, I heard is closed for good! So sad!

[@TravelwithTrey]

That would be tragic if that's true. It's the oldest bar in Ocean City. I hope someone reopens it soon 🙏

[@glove8888]

Ive been going to OC for 25 years and just noticed that Harbor Inn bar last week lol

[@TravelwithTrey]

Yes. It's not the most obvious place!

[@Thesaltymedic36]

Good choices. I’ve been to most of them 😂 I love the Moose, Bobby and John are great guys and the bands are great. Love the 80’s cover bands they have. Miss the Old Dutch bar. Funny that the “Bar” looks like it’s stuck in time. The food board on the wall is out of the 70’s and so are the chairs. I love Mother’s for margaritas though. Great video 👍🏼

[@maryv8578]

I've never been to The Bar but I'm going to go when things open up again. I am trying to visit all dive bars in Ocean City. Ya gotta have goals!

[@jimafton5659]

Back in the day Cadillac Jack's next to the purple moose was the spot for oldies

[@Thesaltymedic36]

@@jimafton5659 yup. In the moose is the Cadillac that was on the wall there. The big wood sign they had.

[@Elios0000]

id add the bar at Bonfire is pretty divey too and been there for YEARS. wile most people on see the tourist buffet lines theres its bar is pretty good. and the Original Greene Turtle is still very much a locals bar for Baltimore sports fans

[@TravelwithTrey]

Greene Turtle! Absolutely!

[@chriscoccagna5917]

Bonfire....not going to lie. A bunch of us in our late 20's would roll in there on a weeknight in pursuit of the "older women". Hit or miss but when your 20 somethin doen the shore who really cares.

[@JR_SupportOurHeroes]

I remember when the Original Greene Turtle just said Tavern out front, had ceramic turtles in the windows a spiral staircase fooseball upstairs and only had peanuts. We would bring in Pizza Tugos and drink beers by the pitcher lol good ole days

[@Ronnieleec]

Nice Job

[@ripwheeler8175]

My buddy's brother owned the the Frog Bar. I thought it was cool AF! Only place where you can see the offshore rigs roll in with flags up or tails up!

[@TravelwithTrey]

Best view in OC.

[@tomlokey8724]

I worked the Inlet Bar in 1977, that cigarette machine was there then!

[@MrPatch72]

Great vid,and that's coming from an irish guy in Dublin,please do more of these!!!!!

@@MrPatch72 that's my intention. ;) thanks for following!

that maybe the last cigarette machine in most of the US by now

I recall finding a brand new Led Zepplin House of the Holy cassette tape in the men’s room there back in the day.

[@mikediangelo7650]

you're a funny dude man... i enjoy your content

[@thomasbean7704]

Peppers Tavern on the boardwalk use to be my favorite dive bar in OC! It kills me that it is no longer open!!! One place that is still open & I consider a dive bar is Brass Ball Saloon.

[@carolczimback8665]

What. No Brass Balls Saloon.

[@laffin_out_loud]

OMG I've been to the bearded clam!

[@jimafton5659]

Ask the owner bikers if they been to the Hill climb in Beaverdale Pa

[@williambien]

I cant believe I used to drive for three hours from Baltimore just to eat Bull on the Beach and Ponzettis. Everyone there has type 2 diabetes!

[@TravelwithTrey]

It's a way of life at the beach. 😆

[@jimafton5659]

Used to drive 6 just for the weekend it was a long drive back to Cambria county Pa

[@maryjennings4913]

I don't actually drink alcohol. But, I have been to Coins twice, for the food. They have a good Early Bird special menu available from 4-6 p.m. The food is great, for the price.

[@fugi6910]

fuckit, you're a reasonable person and making good content... have my sub

[@TravelwithTrey]

lol. Thank you, brother!

[@MsKaraokequeen]

how could you keave our the sandbar? it's definitely a dive!

[@TravelwithTrey]

I had to draw the line somewhere, and maybe subconsciously I was afraid of getting pulled into a karaoke song!

[@MsKaraokequeen]

maybe if you rocked a tune at the sandbar, the video would've gone viral. 🤠

[@jimafton5659]

Forgot four of my favorites Cork Bar Breaded Clam and the Dutch Bar and in the summer the Best Western 's Pool Bar 24 the st

[@TravelwithTrey]

You haven't been to OC in while, have you? The Dutch Bar closed over a decade ago. Best Western is now Wyndham. I hit Cork Bar and Bearded Clam in the video.

[@4105863963]

Frog is now gone hope they open in another location and the Cork Bar is great don't waste your time going to the Bearded Clam.

[@DJSmoothie]

The only way youre gonna get a buzz in these bars is if you drank your own stuff before you go in to any of them. Purple Moose will do their best to serve you but you wont get a buzz there or at a lot of places. OC Bars are not trying to get ppl drunk Lol!

[@danaernst922]

Frog bar is gone now

[@TravelwithTrey]

So sad...

[@craigk5505]

Purple Moose honestly does make the best bloody marys

[@darlenelipuma7769]

The Frog Bar is no more. Won't be there in 2021. That whole area is being replaced, FB being torn down, and a new place called Bandit's will be replacing it. All the little shops in that area will be gone as well, replaced by open air dining stands. The Bar is definitely a dive bar. Don't get food there if you value your health. Harbor Inn has pretty good food! Not the fanciest, but good food. Purple Moose is decent, good drinks. And it's always fun around 10 o'clock to watch the drunks stumble out. Coins..........don't consider it a dive bar. You can't beat their crab cakes and steaks. Buxy's is definitely NOT a dive bar! NICE place, good food, and perfect place to go if you're a Steelers/Pirates/or Penguin fan.

[@TravelwithTrey]

Thanks for the input!

[@MayorofNumber3]
