TLDR: Liquid Assets is serving some of the best food in Ocean City, with creative small plates, excellent whiskey cocktails, and a great liquor store built right into the experience. We stopped by for lunch shortly after arriving for our OCMD beach weekend and were thoroughly impressed by the caliber of food LA is dishing out. What started as a liquor store with a bar has evolved into a seriously good restaurant that stands out from the usual beach fare. Our table of four shared a bunch of small plates and a few larger dishes. We tried the steamed mussels, buffalo wings, tuna crisps, baked oysters, short rib pot pie, and Kung Pao calamari. The rich short rib pot pie was excellent, and we loved the baked oysters with aged cheddar, honey chipotle, and fresh chimichurri. Our favorite was the Kung Pao calamari, which had a great sweet Asian heat that made it a fun spin on the classic. We also ordered a round of cocktails, with the bourbon and whiskey based drinks being the favorites. The Wild Fashioned was especially good. Another great perk is that dining guests receive 10 percent off purchases from the attached liquor store. We happily took advantage and stocked up on Willett bourbon and Clase Azul tequila for the rest of the beach weekend. Overall, Liquid Assets is a great place to come for a drink or three with some elevated bites, especially when you are ready for a break from typical beach food. We will definitely be back. read more

What a fantastic spot in North Ocean City. Liquid Assets easily has one of the most unique interior setups in town--you are literally dining at a rustic bar built right into the middle of a full throwback beer, wine, and liquor store. The ambiance alone makes it worth the visit. I stopped in for a late lunch and went with their Pick 2 lunch combo, pairing the Caesar salad with the cream of tomato soup. The Caesar was excellent: fresh, whole romaine hearts tossed in a nice tangy dressing, topped with flavorful brown bread croutons and a solid chunk of quality cheese. The cream of tomato soup was equally good, carrying over those same rich croutons and cheese to tie the meal together seamlessly. Service was top-notch as well--the bartender was friendly and welcoming, and the kitchen churned out the food impressively fast. Great spot all around; I will definitely be back. read more

We came here after seeing yelp reviews. As with most Ocean City eateries, I was a little apprehensive. But I must say, we had a great meal, wonderful server, and enjoyed the atmosphere. It was definitely a great evening. We started with the Kung Park calamari and bread. In our group had everything from the LA burger, crabcakes, mussels, and seafood pot pie. And then we finished off with the donuts, I think I would go back just for those alone. I would recommend if you want a great meal. Maybe a little expensive, but I feel like everywhere in Ocean City is overpriced. read more

Liquid Assets is one of those Ocean City spots that truly stands out from the crowd. The combination of an excellent restaurant and a well-stocked liquor store creates a unique atmosphere that's perfect after a long day at the beach. It's a refreshing change from the typical boardwalk dining experience. The food was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the perfectly seared scallops, rich and flavorful oysters Rockefeller, and a well-prepared steak that was cooked exactly as ordered. The cocktail program was equally impressive, both the martini and Old Fashioned were expertly crafted. As a bourbon and whiskey enthusiast, I particularly appreciated the extensive selection available here. It was nice to find quality whiskey options beyond the sweet, fruity summer cocktails that dominate many Ocean City menus. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a place we'll return to on future trips. read more

This place is super cool! You walk in to a liquor store but it has tables and a bar for dining as well! There are some really cool sections for dining amongst the bottles of liquor. We started with a tasting board and chose three cheeses and three meats. It comes with a ton of additional accoutrements. It's a little expensive but worth it to try some fantastic cheese. I had the Cacio e pepe with scallops that was on special. I didn't love the pasta, the sauce was bland despite the peppery flavor but the scallops were well cooked and definitely the best part of the dish. For dessert we did a giant doughnut ice cream sandwich which was the star of the show. Paired with an espresso martini and I was extremely happy to finish off dinner! The service was great, food came out quickly. read more

I usually sit at the bar where the bartenders are ultra knowledgeable and friendly and helpful. Everything I have ever ordered is fantastic. The warm atmosphere and friendly conversation by other patrons make this place a must visit. This time I had some of the smoked sausage and a truffle cheese plate. The citrus accented beer went well with the smoked sausage. There are so many light items to try I see a new possibility for great food and drinks every time I revisit. read more

The cannelloni was absolutely delicious! Best thing I ate in ocean city. As a vegan, it's been years since I had a cannelloni and it was the best I ever had. My husband is a big crab cake fan and loved his entree too. I liked the cauliflower side as well. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the vegan corn soup, but I appreciate the option. My husband picked up the food and said everyone working there is very nice. I recommend calling and asking about vegan specials because there were two options that weren't on the regular menu. read more

I came to liquid assets for a solo dinner while traveling for work because as my previous review says, this place is a must. Cindy was my waitress this visit and she was wonderful. Friendly, prompt and helpful. I ordered the baked oysters and they were absolutely delicious. The chimichurri that came with them was a true standout for me. I loved these oysters. I also ordered the lamb burger. It had some five spice in it and a unique flavor. It was also perfectly cooked and very fresh. Overall a fantastic visit. Liquid assets does it again. I need to try its sister properties next visit. read more

Husband and I tried to enjoy drinks and appetizers here last evening. However even after having the bartender securing us a table, we were ignored. I actually made an attempt to get a servers attention and was met with an eye roll and a shrug. Apparently, neither the restaurant nor the server need our business. read more

We came to Liquid Assets over the weekend that have dessert and after dinner drinks. We ordered the donut dessert and oh my gosh it was out of this world. 4 of us ladies inhaled it in 5 mins. It was one of the most unique desserts we've ever had. Absolutely Delish!! After dinner drinks were also Delish! Truly a wonderful experience. read more

This one of our go to places in OCMD. A wine/liquor store with 2 bars and a restaurant. It's a very comfortable place to enjoy a beverage with a charcuterie or a nice lunch or delicious dinner. They have tables or sitting areas. 3 TVs for sports. They have a lunch special that is a good value. Awesome service, good cocktails and delicious food. What more do you need? I recommend reservations for dinner. read more

Had a lovely dinner here! We sat in the back room which was very warm and welcoming. We had some wine and a charcuterie board as well as the steak tartare. We also started with an espresso martini which was very good! Our server was great, and was very helpful! Everything was delicious and we really enjoyed ourselves! read more

A fun place to enjoy adult beverages for a few hours after most places have closed. Is this an extremely well stocked liquor store that also serves food or a really good restaurant that has a great selection of liquor for sale? Or, is it both? Lets start with imagining a liquor store that has all manner of products, from basic to premium. Everything is well organized and brightly lit. Now, intersperse that with seating, at tables and converted liquor barrels, along with a separate room that is only tables, and that's the Liquid Assets layout. For our visit, late on a Wednesday evening, we had a Margarita, a Flower Child (one of their specialty drinks, my wife is a sucker for elderflower), and split an order of wings. The wings were plenty for the two of us and everything tasted great. read more

A must see in Ocean City for food lovers. I wish I got a photo of our chorizo sausage and kale salad too because that's what really set off our meal. Everything we ordered was creative and each dish felt so perfectly melded together. I would LOVE to go to Ocean City again literally to go to this restaurant. I think my favorite was the Lamb burger and the kale salad. Also, had so many wine options and beer and also nonalcoholic beers available. I loved the rustic and lively feel of the place. And our waitress was amazing, attentive but not overbearing. She made the experience so great. Also I'm not a big dessert person and I also don't like caramel but I tried the doughnut ice cream sandwich and it was AMAZING. Perfect for someone like me who loves savory desserts and it didn't feel overly caramely. I would say overrall that this was a place where food quality is at the forefront and each meal is very harmonic. Would love to know more about the chef. read more

Amazing massaged kale salad. Not ony the best salad I have ever eaten, but one of the best meals! Steak tartare was very good as well. Skip the mussels (why i downgraded a star). 1 work - SALTY! the salt in the broth and salty sausage made it in edible. Will go back (again and again) for the salad! read more

Limited food menu. Over priced but, the food is good. The staff is polite and attends to your needs.

If you're in Ocean City, you have to check this place out. We have come to OC every year for my whole life and we only learned of Liquid assets last year and it immediately became one of our favorite spots, we make it a point to come here once or even twice on every trip. Everything we've ever ordered has been amazing, and the bartenders are always top-tier -- friendly, knowledgeable, and they make the BEST drinks. Their wide awake is my absolute favorite rendition of an espresso martini anywhere, especially with the warm milk foam on top -- it's next level. The calamari is delicious, unlike I've had anywhere else, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also had an incredible tasting board there once that I still think about. The ambiance is such a vibe -- cool, low lighting with a slightly rustic feel that makes it perfect for date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. Another great perk is if you dine there, you get 10% off their liquor store with your receipt, which is such a great bonus. Liquid Assets never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

We wanted to really like this place. It looks awesome and inviting. Five of us adults (50+) went for a drink last night. It was packed but we found a spot pretty quickly. We had to ask a bartender for a server. Someone came and cleaned off table and a few mins later someone came and dropped off menus. We left at least 30 mins later with no one ever coming back or anything. Employees seemed very pleasant and nice. If you're understaffed, get rid of some tables or something. Although it is a very unique place, there are plenty options to go somewhere else. read more

Atmosphere.....Amazing Service........Amazing Food......mid at best.....let me explain Steak tartar lacked the flavor profile ive had at other locations, no onion essence, no capers and no hints of mustard. Tasted like raw beef with maybe some lea and perrins. The gumbo was gumbo soup not gumbo from the south. The soft shell clams didnt have any real flavor although there were a ton of components on the plate. The sauce lacked flavor which would have saved the dish. The risotto missed the mark. One of my major complaints that shined through was lack of seasoning and salt to bring it all together. The server was amazing , the ambiance so unique. Although pricey that didnt deter very disappointing with how great the place and service is that it missed the mark with the food read more

Drinks were great; bartenders were very attentive. Food was fantastic. Had the baked oysters and the kung pao calamari. Both were starters, but plenty of food. read more

We had an incredible dining experience at Liquid Assets. The food was absolutely amazing--every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit was the exceptional service from Gilly. She was fabulous from start to finish, going above and beyond to accommodate our gluten allergies with care and expertise. Her attentiveness and knowledge made us feel completely at ease. We eat out often, Liquid Assets is by far a gem and one of the best Resturants between OC to Rehoboth. And arguably Northern VA. If you're looking for delicious food and outstanding service, especially with dietary needs, Liquid Assets is the place to go! read more

Absolutely amazing! This place was relaxed and yet elevated. The service was wonderful and the food was even better. We had the seafood pot pie (huge serving) and the scallop cacio de pepe with angel hair pasta. Dessert was out of this world. The seating throughout allowed for groups to sit at couches to enjoy charcuteries, sit at the bar, or at table tops. Surrounding the seating around the perimeter were hard liquor, wine and refrigerated beverages. Great vibe! We will be going back! read more

Staying in OC for the week and would consider making the trip back on a regular basis just to go here for a weekly dining. They have a wide variety of charcuterie boards to customize with fresh cheeses, meets, fruit and garnishes. Wife had the grilled cheese and couldn't believe the humble sandwich could be reimagined into a complex and delicious meal! read more

Stopped by Liquid Assets for dinner while in town for a conference - I had previously tried the ice cream Sammy and was looking forward to ordering that again! Needless to say it was perfect. Such a sweet and delicious combination. As for dinner I got the potato soup and asparagus on the side. The soup was ok, nothing too special about it. The asparagus was tasty! The pesto and cheese flakes on top really added some flavor. For a drink I got the huckleberry mule and that was a refreshing option. We were seated and served fairly fast! Overall a good choice while in OC. read more

It's been several years, but coming back with a daughter after Asssateague and Liquid Assets did not disappoint. We showed up at 5:20 p.m. in early March, so there was plenty of room, but by the time we left, the place was pretty full - on a Tuesday night! The waitress suggested we try the Caesar salad, saying it's the best she's ever had. I generally don't go for Caesar because it's boring, but this was amazing! She recommended the shortrib potpie which was SO RICH and SO LARGE! My daughter loved it. I went for fish, which was definitely the least interesting, but most healthy of our choices. Giant brownie dessert too at the end. such a good place! read more

Liquid Assets and all of their places are great choices for dining. We were seated at the chef's table this visit, where we watched desserts being prepared, along with appetizers and maybe charcuterie? The food is always the best here or at their other properties. Some of the most creative and best tasting food during our annual trip. We'll always stop at one of these locations. This one has a liquor store, which is worth a visit just on it's own. read more

So we came here because i passed a big exam today. We wanted to do alittle dinner celebration and Honestly im pretty unimpressed. Since the moment we sat down we had ordered drinks and calamari. It took about 45 minutes to get the calamarie (mind you its the begining of april... its not busy) we had to remind our server about it and her excuse was "the ticket was lost". Then they bring out our waygu steak, mind you one of the most expensive items on the menu and they cant even keep it warm while its on our way to us. I think i had 1 piece of steak that was actually warm. Fries were great and they had a great hazy IPA. But the service was terrible and the fact they cant keep their waygu warm is unbelievable to me. Heard amazing this about this restaurant but it did not live up to its expectations. read more

We dined at Liquid Assets on 8/18/2025. Our food was very good. I ordered the house smoked Jalapeno Cheddar Sauasage as an appetizer and the LA Burger for my entree.

We will certainly be back here again!! read more

I can honestly say that the food menu here is nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we opened the menu, we were impressed by the variety and creativity. It's clear that a lot of thought went into crafting a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes while also offering some truly unique and exciting options. Everything was amazing; however, the true five-star rating is due to the DESSERT. F****** amazing. Get them all. Do not leave without trying SOMETHING on the dessert menu. Actually, I highly recommend ordering dessert first, do it. DO IT. Donut sundae and the seasonal casserole cake are to die for. If you're looking for a restaurant with an atmosphere that enhances your dining experience, this is the place to go. We will definitely be back, not only for the amazing dessert but also to soak in the fantastic vibes of such an epic wine bar (a bit of sass and class while on a beach vacation). read more
