Seacrets - Nachos - Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

TLDR: Seacrets is loud, crowded, occasionally trashy, and still one of the most entertaining beach bars in the country. Every Marylander should make the pilgrimage at least once. I have been coming to Seacrets since 2010, and at this point it has become a rite of passage for any Marylander looking for the ultimate East Coast beach bar experience. I have survived the hilariously overcrowded Memorial Day weekends, end of summer Labor Day crowds, and even a few New Year's Eve bashes. Somehow, I have always left with another great story. Seacrets has added some serious upgrades over the years, including its own distillery and private floating cabanas for anyone who does not want to fight over the coveted water tables during peak summer weekends. My most recent visit was the weekend after Labor Day during Bike Week, when the crowd was much more subdued than the typical July and August madness. The water tables were still open with servers taking care of everyone, although there was unfortunately no DJ playing on the bay. Our group of five grabbed one of the horseshoe shaped tables in the water, which now has an umbrella providing some much appreciated shade. The drinks at Seacrets are always a hit. My personal favorite is the Dirty Banana with a rum floater. They have also started offering their own Beachin' canned cocktails, including lemon iced tea with vodka and a few vodka soda flavors. They were a great addition when we wanted something lighter and easier to drink in the water. Some people hate Seacrets because of the crowds and occasionally trashy party atmosphere, but that is also part of its charm. One thing Seacrets can guarantee is that memories will be made, even if a few of them are blurry. It deserves its reputation as one of the best beach bars in the country. read more

We always have a good time when we visit Seacrets. First of all, if you have any questions prior to your visit you can always email them and they respond quickly. During the day the bay is really nice and they also have live music the whole afternoon and evening at the beach stage and nite club. Check their website for the schedule. There are many tables if you want to have lunch or dinner and service is always pretty good. Depending on what time you go there may be a cover fee but it's always cheap. Drinks and food are moderately priced. Ocean city has many other nice bars but Seacrets is always my favorite! I normally stay at the Princess Bayside hotel nearby which is just a 5 minute walk. My tip is to always go in July or August if you want a fun vibe. During other months it's quiet and not as warm. read more

Came here for a quick lunch before our tiki cruise, and the moment I walked up to the hostess stand, I was blown away by how beautiful the atmosphere was. It honestly felt like we were transported to the Caribbean--the lush greenery, sand, and gorgeous water views made the setting so relaxing and tropical. Service was okay. Our server forgot to bring utensils, so when our food arrived, we had to wait a little bit before we could actually eat. I had the jerk chicken side salad, and my husband had the jerk chicken pizza. My only complaint was that they didn't have a great selection of salad dressings. The pizza, however, was delicious, and even my toddler enjoyed it! Overall, I'd definitely come back for the beautiful atmosphere and the food. It's a great spot to grab a bite before heading out on the water read more

Seacrets is the 'choose your own adventure' menu for those who like to have fun in Ocean City! There is definitely something for everyone - from a crazy three story liquor store topped by a UFO to a beach venue night club with bars, dancing, and nooks and crannies to get lost in. Multiple restaurants and cool water features as well! Our millennial hearts were happy with the amazing band, and our social quest was happy in finding lots of friendly people. Will absolutely return! Staff 10/10 no matter where we were and the entire experience might make for one of my top night club experiences. read more

We came to meet up with our group who were already inside, but it was a little disappointing that we had to pay a cover fee. I think we had arrived right at the start of it since the earlier of our group did not have to pay it. The interior of the place was very cool and filled with plants and plenty of bars. When we were walking around trying to find our group, there was live music being played with a large area for listening and dancing. We met up with our group and ordered a few drinks and were able to watch the sunset on the water. Our first round of drinks were so tasty and good. However, when we ordered our second round, the drinks were much stronger and not as tasty. I think it was a different bartender, especially since we had ordered the same drink of a long island iced tea. We didn't try any food, so I can't comment on that part. The bathrooms were a bit rough; I'm not sure if there was any working AC in the ones I went to 'cause I was so hot! The door stall in the one I was in also didn't close all the way with almost a full inch gap that you could peer into, so I had to pull it close the whole time I was using the stall. Overall, I would come early to avoid the cover fee and enjoy the atmosphere and drinks! read more

For my first trip to Ocean City, I had no idea what I was in for when my friend mentioned Seacrets. As we walked up, I realized this wasn't just an Oceanside bar. Seacrets looks like its own town and once you're in, you're transported to an island paradise and not on the east coast! I would hands down return to Ocean City just to visit Seacrets. I wasn't able to experience the in water seating or see this during the day or in the dead of summer... I can only imagine the energy then! The multiples stages, variety of music and bands, the drinks, the food, the merch! What an absolute gem! read more

i was visiting from north carolina and seacrets was highly recommended by multiple people from the area and i was turned away at the door because the guy checking id's said he "didnt like our id's" and asked us to leave. terrible service, lost customers, he had one other person check and i watched him basically convince the guy they looked sketchy and asked us to leave. I asked if we could talk to a manager and was still turned away without even being offered a chance by someone in a higher position than him to verify. i am extremely disappointed that i wasnt able to get a chance to have the experience at seacrets read more

Took my friends here for their first time and we ended up having lunch there and also trying the water bar that they have the food was great. The service was great. The ambience was amazing in both location. It's a very big place. The music was great to listen to the atmosphere was great. We had such a good time. It's a place in Ocean City that you should try when you go. read more

Seacrets is such a cool place for a date or with a group. Right on the water, in the sand, under the sun or sunset you have a little slice of Island Vibes on the East Coast. When we went there was live music playing. There can be a wait, but you can wait at the bar and they'll call/text you. Service was good, and the food was great. I loved the nachos and the jerk chicken and rice/peas. A cool spot I look forward to stopping at again on my next visit to the OC. read more

It was okay. The service varied by bartender and section. The polite ones were appreciated. The crowd was a bit older - which is not a bad thing! Just depends on the vibe you are going for. The area for dancing had live music. I would say it depends on the day you go. We went on a Thursday. The place as a whole was nice, I liked the tropical atmosphere. read more

Seacrets - Strawberry mocktail - Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Seacrets is such a vibe and a must visit place when in OCMD. It's all beachy and fun - even when there in February. With a shellfish allergy, I was worried about eating there. The server didn't make me feel much better as she said most items are cross contaminated. That was a bummer because I really wanted a quesadilla but ended up with pizza. It was quite good and I also enjoyed the frozen crush drinks. After dinner, we made our way to the club side where there was karaoke. Super fun! I did end up with a reaction - probably from the proximity of the shellfish. Luckily it wasn't worse than an allergy related laryngitis. read more

We went to Seacrets and tried the distillery tour with Jeff. Jeff was phenomenal and made it interactive and captivating the whole time. At the end of the tour, we got to try three different liquors. They will take the hair right off your chest! Next, we entered seacrets and ate some jerk chicken. Surprisingly good for bar food! We then sat in a table in the ocean and had a lovely time ordering drinks from the ocean! I'd highly recommend this place. It feels just like you are in Jamaica. read more

Seacrets is an unforgettable experience. It is a must visit as a tourist in Ocean City. I went with friends and I enjoyed the drinks, variety of music, and quality of the live musicians. I do feel like this was a one and done visit. The cleanliness and concern of throw up is a reason I would not return for a nighttime outing. I got to Seacrets right as the sun was setting. It was picturesque outside on the sand holding a spicy marg and taking sunset photos with friends. We then went to a part of Seacrets playing music that reminded me of my 2010 college days. It was nostalgic and so much fun. At this point the cleanliness began to take a turn for the worst and it was truly reliving a fraternity party. I had to go to the bathroom and my stall was out of paper. I used what I could find on the ground to wipe. People around me were clearly drinking too much. The music is so loud you cannot hear people slurring their words and I could see how some guests may accidentally get over served. I danced for hours to the DJ set and then phenomenal live band playing sounds ranging from Paramore to Michael Jackson. As we were leaving my friend needed to go to the bathroom and opened up the single use stall near the exit. There was vomit covering the entire bathroom floor. Who knows when that will be cleaned up. It still makes me gag thinking about the site. Overall I had a wonderful time but I would be weary to return due to the unpredictability of vomit and toilet paper restocking. read more

Drove 8 hours to come to a music festival and it was cancelled at the last minute. I'm trying my hardest to find something, anything to do in this town. I was told by a friend that no matter what I did I had to come here, but when I tried to go I was turned away for having a supposed fake id. He wouldn't scan it, wouldn't show it to a manager or anything. I'm 26 and I haven't had anything like this happen to me in years. I believe I was perfect composed and friendly. The man at the door even threatened to take me and my friends' id. Not sure of the laws in Maryland but if they're same as NC I would not have been leaving tonight without my id. read more

Its ok. It would be a lot better if you came off season, like I generally do, but during oceans calling or any other big event, it is literally for children, not under 21, but grown adults. The jerk chicken is a staple, and probably one of the best things on the menu. The clams are hit or miss. Sometimes they are 12 dime size clams for 15 bucks, sometimes they are regular sized... roll the dice. The service is generally very fast for a place that big, I imagine that the kitchen is probably pretty big, as the food is always hot. Most of the tables are in a spot so that you can at least see the bay, which adds to the ambiance. The best thing about Seacrets are the frozen adult beverages. I love the "Pain". pretty delicious and boozy. Speaking of adults, don't bring your kids after 830. They will either not let them in, or kick them out at 9pm, the adulting hour. Stop by at least once, though, while in OC MD. More worth it earlier in the day for lunch or something. read more

Seacrets is such an enigma in a positive and fun way. The place is truly one of a kind and such a blast. While it was $20 to get in per person, it was totally worth it. The place is absolutely humongous with multiple music areas, beach areas and several bars. From every genre of music, to bright lights and big crowds, you are guaranteed to have fun. Go during the day and enjoy a cocktail in the water and stay all through the night and enjoy the best entertainment. The kitchen seemed to be open late. Enjoy hoop tea on tap; a true Ocean City, Maryland staple. Seacrets has their own distillery and distills much of their own alcohol, including hard liquor and seltzers. Getting there by uber was easy and quick, however, when leaving, uber was not available. Lyft and taxis were available and easy to get outside. read more

We visit Seacrets every Labor Day weekend. This year (2026) was subpar to say the least. We got there around 11pm and ordered food like we always do. The rice side was basically uncooked. Very crunchy. The fried shrimp tasted like it had been sitting for hours and the chicken in the jerk chicken bowl was tough and the rice, again, uncooked. Usually the food is pretty good. This time it was terrible. The drinks were good, of course (it's their own brand). We were EXTREMELY disappointed that they did away with the 80s room. There was no area with music to our liking (kinda defeated the purpose of going). We paid a cover charge for literally nothing. read more

My friend and I went to Ocean City, MD for a girls weekend. We went to see the Amish Outlaws so there was a cover fee. Not sure if it is normally like that or not but we didn't mind. The bartenders were attentive and the crowd was lively. Drinks were a bit pricy but understandable being Ocean City and a tourist spot. We went at night so we didn't get to try any of the food. We will definitely be back in Ocean City at some point so we will be back for the live music. read more

Most of the staff were very friendly! Unfortunately one bad egg ruined the vibe by the end of the night... she basically said that she wasn't going to serve me because she had been watching me dance all night and I was clearly intoxicated... I don't drink and I was trying to ask her for a water I know my dancing isn't the best but wow...she dismissed me immediately, screamed at me to try to get a drink at another bar. Guess I'll keep my dancing shoes at home moving forward. read more

Seacrets - The unhappy bartender - Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

This was my first time visiting, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I've been coming to Ocean City for over 30 years, and with my Caribbean background, I can honestly say the brown stew chicken was one of the worst I've had. It had no flavor, no seasoning, no spice--just completely bland. My husband ordered the jerk chicken, and that was just as disappointing. The menu should clearly state that it's made with chicken tenderloins. It was served on a very small plate that looked more like a kid's meal, and it definitely wasn't worth the price we paid. We came here expecting a good Caribbean dinner, but the food fell far below our expectations. The only positive was that after dinner we went to the bar area, and the atmosphere there was fantastic. The vibe, music, and overall ambiance were great, which is the only reason this experience wasn't a complete loss. read more

FOOD/DRINK: 5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 EXPERIENCE: 5/5 Seacrets is like a place like no other. The ambiance is a sandy beach bar with an option to sit inside or outside - but you can't lose with either choice! There are many instagrammable picture ops too! There are ample bathrooms that are regularly stocked, security to keep you safe, & great air conditioning. Everyone treats guests kindly and like we are VIPs. I've tried a lot of their food & drink over the years of going here. They use their own liquor for the drinks, which makes them taste excellent! Their spiced rum is wonderful. The quesadilla, chicken tenders, nachos...it's all solid. Even the jerk chicken is made with love. But THE best menu item is the rum cake, which is straight perfection!! Mrs. Moore's spiced rum cake is delectable and even gluten free. It's a must have, so make sure you save room. Seacrets is an OC destination that shouldn't be missed!! read more

If you go in with the right expectations, you're going to have a great time. Seacrets isn't a fine dining establishment. It is a tropical-beach-themed collection of bars and a club. You are paying for the experience. It will be somewhat crowded no matter when you go. People will be loud because they've been drinking. The music will be loud because, again, it's a bar and a club. The drinks will be a little pricy, and the food isn't going to be Michelin-star cuisine. Now, taking that all into consideration, go to Seacrets for some fun. Act like you're freshly 21 again. Even if you're just stopping by for lunch, it's worth it. We went on a sunny Friday afternoon, and we had a blast just sitting at the bar and people-watching. We also thought that being able to anchor your boat nearby and get a ride in was a cool option. If we're ever in OCMD again, we'll definitely be back. read more

This place really makes u feel like u are on vacation but food quality has definitely took a dive during the recent years. Not to mention they penny pinch u on every cent. Upcharge for every little thing. 4.95 for a tiny dixi cup of extra cheese for nachos. $3.50 club soda, the draft beers taste watered down. I know it's a Jamaican vibe but have some other meat options except jerk everything. Meat was dried out, burgers way over cooked probably for the best. Go here for the vibe, atmosphere and music nothing else. read more

The bar epicenter of Ocean City, with room to still enjoy dinner and sunset. Seacrets has a drink for you, and you can keep trying and trying until you find a favorite. We enjoyed their daiquiris, which was nice on a warmer evening (we visited in August). The place was busy, so expect a bit of a crowd to get in, but wasn't terrible. There is limited covered seating, so you will probably end up eating outdoors and won't be safe from "the elements." Ask for server Molly, she was great! read more

For my first time visiting Ocean City, Seacrets was the perfect introduction. I came with my coworker after our work conference finished in Salisbury. Even though the nightclub areas were closed until the weekends, there was still plenty to take in at the restaurant. The live music, multiple bars, scenic walking areas through plants and flowers were only matched by the impeccable ocean views. We asked for a table by the water, and I couldn't stop staring in amazement. Hearing the waves crash and the sights and sounds of seagulls flying by had me feeling like I was laying on the beach. We both ordered the Bahama Mama, which featured Seacrets spiced rum, coconut and golo rum, pina colada, grenadine and pineapple juice. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. The jerk chicken cheesesteak was a huge hit! The melted cheese, jerk chicken, and Seacrets spicy jerk marinade made for a mouth watering sandwich. The crinkle cut french fries and honey mustard sauce made a great compliment as well. I look forward to coming back on a weekend evening to see how the nightlife is. read more

Went to Seacrets for a relaxing early dinner with friends. I love the dining area being filled with palm trees and beach music. A great vibe for dinner. For my drink, I got the triple crush, skinny style. They had a heavyyy pour, but it was so good. Definitely worth the price for the smith of liquor in that drink. For my meal, I got the black beans burger, and it was delicious. Most people think of Seacrets for its nightlife, but I wouldn't count out the dinner experience! read more

This place was an absolute disaster from start to finish. We were a party of 8, and after eating here, 7 of us were vomiting and the other person had diarrhea. We spent the rest of the night fighting over two bathrooms. It was miserable. Before going, I called because it was our first time visiting. The person I spoke with failed to mention there was a $15 entry fee just to get in. They also never mentioned that you have to walk through sand to get to the venue. My wife was wearing high heels, so that would have been useful information to know ahead of time. I was also told there would be a restaurant serving food until 1 a.m. When we arrived, that was not the case. The staff seemed rude, unhelpful, and completely unaware of what was going on. Every question we asked was met with confusion or no real answer. Eventually, we ended up ordering food from the bar because there were no other options. The food was overpriced and honestly some of the worst food I've had in a long time. The only way this place is still standing is either because of all the drunks or because a certain group of people have no sense of taste. Every person in our group ordered something different, and not a single person enjoyed their meal. I ordered the cheesesteak, which was extremely salty and barely edible. The rest of the group had similar complaints about their meals. I've had authentic Jamaican food many times before, and this was nowhere close. I genuinely don't understand the glowing reviews. Either our group had an unbelievably bad experience, or some people have very different standards when it comes to food. Every single person in our party disliked their meal. To make matters worse, none of us drank much alcohol, so there is no doubt in my mind that the sickness started after eating here. Seven people throwing up after eating at the same place is not a coincidence. Between the hidden fees, misleading information, rude staff, overpriced food, terrible quality, and spending the night sick, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I will never return and would not recommend this place to anyone. If you're feeling adventurous enough to eat here, make sure your loved ones have good insurance and easy access to a bathroom. Jamaican food is normally great, but these people are just milking the Jamaica brand while delivering subpar food. read more

Normally have a great experience here but this time did not hold up unfortunately. Server seemed to have our table which was outdoors but then would vanish for quite some time for us to get more drinks or ask for anything. Food was ok but nothing great.

We used to vacation in Ocean City, when we lived in New Jersey. As you can see from my many past reviews this is one of my favorite Jamaican me crazy fun outside dining restaurants among palm trees overlooking the bay. We were here for dinner with our friend, who was visiting us from Scottsdale, AZ. We were seated at a nice table among the palm trees, because the section with the tables overlooking the bay was closed. Our table had a slight view of the bay through the palm trees. I enjoyed my two big bamboo cocktails with Seacrets coconut rum, Seacrets gold rum and Seacrets spiced rum with a Seacrets blend of fruit juices. I also enjoyed my usual blackened rare 6 ounce local yellowfin tuna steak sandwich served on a kaiser roll with pepper parmesan on the side for $25. Blackened adds another $2. My sandwich was served with fries, lettuce, tomato and a pickle. Service here was very good as usual. We agreed we will continue to return here for lunch or dinner. read more

Generally this was a very fun spot on a Bach trip. It was a little confusing on where the club part was (I don't think we ever went in as we were always outside) and how ordering worked in certain areas, but we managed it and stayed for several hours. I didn't like the "photographers" -- it felt like a scam. I don't think I've ever seen a similar establishment do that. It feels like preying on drunk people to get money. Plus they have very young women doing it. I'd recommend as it's one of the only places with this vibe in the area. Read directions and FAQs before you go. read more

Save your money and stay away from Secret in Ocean City. I tried to enter, not realizing my physical ID was expired. I offered secondary proof--including a physical card with my full name and a clear photo of my unexpired ID on my phone. ​Instead of professionally explaining their entry policy, the manager (a white man) immediately escalated the situation. Without any cause, he called over staff members who forcefully grabbed me and physically threw me out. The targeted hostility, discrimination, and physical aggression were completely unacceptable. Absolutely disgusting behavior from management and security. This is the perfect reason why ocean city is losing business because of these outdated thugs. read more
