Great live music spot! Good bar service. We went to see a band play and loved the DJ, MADAME DUCHESS mixing it up between band sets!! Great vibe and had a blast dancing! Attentive bouncers took care of any situations in a professional and respectful manner.

I googled "gay bar's in Ocean City" and this bar popped up. I thought I would give it a try to see what it was like. Its on the boardwalk near a few other bars which are exciting and I was eager to see what this place offered. I was incredibly disappointed and downright upset at my experience. It was my first time and I will probably never set foot or recommend this bar to anyone.
There was a $10.00 cover, which is reasonable for a bar. I gladly paid the entrance fee and was able to with my card, no issue. The bar was a fully stocked bar with, in my opinion, reasonably priced drinks. The lines moved quickly and the bartenders were friendly.
The reason I had a bad experience is that I was standing in front of the stage listening and jamming out alone, and not bothering anyone. At one point, I guess being the loner, I had a bouncer come up to me and tell me I was being asked to leave because I was bothering people. I hadn't had a single conversation with anyone and was shocked. I didn't even bother with asking as it was quite clear this visitor from out of state (Florida) was clearly unwelcome in a rather 'welcoming' environment.
It was obvious I was alone and the rest of the bar was full of people who were together. So I dare say, if you are alone and want to just enjoy some time alone, maybe see the local scene and enjoy a drink, bring a friend. You are not welcome alone, and if you are part of the LGBT+ community, go elsewhere. This place is the complete opposite and not worth the time.

Located right on the boardwalk, this is an oasis sitting off of the beach. Famous for their Bloody Mary, but plenty of cold beers, ciders, and seltzer type beverages available in many, varieties. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and they have live entertainment....check their schedule. The staff are great and go out of their way to ensure you have an awesome experience. Check out the t-shirts and souvenirs, they are pretty cool. Highly recommend giving them a try!!!
