    Old school boardwalk restaurant with a friendly bar which is simply named "The Bar". It's full of friendly locals who are servers. The price is fabulous for a boardwalk entity. We've tried just about everything here on the menu and we enjoy it. I've gone solo and it's not a problem. We've gone as a couple and a few times we've gone with friends. Note: Only open from approx late April until October. So Follow their FB page for updates.

    "The Bar" is located at the end of the Ocean City Boardwalk in the shadow of the Ferris Wheel. We were attending SpringFest--known as StormFest to locals--and I was searching for something for breakfast other than the meager offerings from the food vendors in the big tent. My search ended with discovering The Bar, which I was surprised to find open at 9:30 in the morning. I would classify this place as a combined greasy-spoon and dive bar, one on one side one on the other! Check out the pictures. I order a breakfast sandwich togo for my wife and returned to grab a bigger eat-in breakfast for myself. I sat at the counter and had a cheese omelette with a side of bacon. My man Stan, whipped up my breakfast. No complaints.

    One of our most visited bars whenever we come to Ocean City. The Bar is simple. We don't come here for the ambiance, the bartenders, or the overall menu. We come here time and time again because they always have room at the bar, serve quickly, have great prices, and their bathroom isn't gross. Going all the way down to the end of the boardwalk has its perks.

    i got the buff burger and it was phenomenal. i have eaten at 7 different places during my trip to…read moreocmd, and the buff burger was by far the #1 thing i had. i requested it rare, and it was perfectly cooked. the flavor and texture of the buffalo dip was good not just by itself, but paired so deliciously with the beef. i'm genuinely upset that i even tried it because i know that i cannot get that burger back home in pennsylvania. my boyfriend got the chicken chesapeake which was also very good. the side of sweet cornbread with jalapeño butter was 10/10

    Aug. 2026 This is…read morethe first time in six years that Brass Balls is not getting a perfect score. The nachos are usually the highlight of our visit. We always order two for the table, but this year they were burnt and had very few toppings with almost no cilantro crema. Please see the photo for the side‑by‑side comparison. My son also looks forward to the chocolate milkshake every summer, but the machine was reportedly down for the next hour. I understand that things happen, but it added to an already disappointing food experience. Several people in our group ordered chicken sandwiches and said the chicken was extremely chewy. None of them finished their meal. Brass Balls, I truly hope this is not the new norm. With so many dining options, this is the quickest way to lose loyal customers. Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 2 out of 5 With a total score of 22 out of 25, I am giving this place a B+. We will return in the summer of 2027, but with the hope that the food quality returns to its usual standard.

    Don't be afraid to go for a late lunch on half price burger day, yes every Wednesday before six pm…read more Toppings aren't half off or are the specialty burgers. But it is still a solid half pound grilled Pub House burger for $8 plus toppings. I really enjoyed the lettuce wrap, the burger was crispy outside and juicy inside. None of that smashburger crap here, I got a thick patty brimming with flavor and still pink in the middle. Rippled cut potato chips sprinkled with old bay are the side. I couldn't stop eating them. Husband ordered a burger with a nice fluffy toasted bun, pepperjack cheese and fries, included lettuce, tomato and pickles. Solid. Medium rare by request also perfect. What more could you want? Oh, a $6 orange crush if you wait till 3 when happy hour starts. Trust me if this place were near my Phoenix home I would be a regular patron. Bet it gets rowdy with live bands and beach crowds, but at 3 pm, it's a quiet neighborhood pub. Try it!!

    Came here for some late night food and late night exploring! I am a big fried pickle connoisseur…read moreand I thoroughly enjoyed the pickles. It has a thicker slightly sweet batter, the batter stayed on and the pickles were crispy. The pickle shot had a sting to it, but it was not the worst! For thursday night, we had 3 dollar domestic beers which was a great deal! Pickles, service and beer deal is the only reason i'd give 2 stars. Downside is the bathroom, i've never seen a dive bar bathroom this bad. It is disgusting with fecal matter smeared around the wall, lack of toilet paper, dirty floors and just a lack of overall cleanliness. Not sure if it was just when we went, i'd hope they'll fix the woman's stalls.
