Now that NFL Football is ushering in our fall (or shoulder) season here in Ocean City, the following guide to FAN bars might come in handy. Remember that the bus is the easiest way to and from these long standing local spots-so go have a couple of drinks and cheer on your favorite team.
To start i'll have to begin with my wifes favorite (and her hometown) Steelers so "Here we go..." The two hot spots for terrible towels and a whole lot of Western PA dialects are first; 707 Sports Bar on Rt 707 in West Ocean City, and the "in town" favorite Buxys Salty Dog on 28th Street.
Now, no slight to my beloved "Skins" but we Washingtonians are outnumbered both in numbers and the bars that serve allegiance to us! We do have staunch support and a long standing tradition of singing "Hail to the Redskins" at BJ's on the Water, located on the bay at 75th Street. The tradition could probably be traced back to "Smurf" and "Hogs" days...a long time. GO SKINS!!
Philly fans can find there brethren hangin' at Pickles Pub on 8th Street. However, I don't think the cheese steaks will compare to the City of Brotherly Loves?
Last, and being a Washingtonian, least the Ravens. Well, I 've got to mention them and that they are probably the most represented fan base in Ocean City. Most bars you will find these purple and black, National Bohemian drinking , goateed Ravens fans...but they are in abundance at The Greene Turtle on 116th Street.
Hope this helps on your shoulder season getaway to Ocean City...maybe I'll see ya' out - at BJ's unless my wife or other influence lead me astray?

I am a native of Silver Spring, Md where I attended Montgomery Blair High School and then George Washington University. I spent every summer of my youth in Ocean City at our families beach house. I got "salt in my viens" and decided that the beach life was more appealing than than life on 495...so I made the move permanent in 1992. The best of both worlds in my opinion, I live at the beach, but I am still firmly planted to my roots in the DC area. My brother lives in the city, and I visit often. My career is real estate, specifically Marylands Beautiful Eastern Shore, from the beaches of Ocean City to the rural appeal of Pocomoke and Snow Hill. This I enjoy due to the constant fluidity of the market and the people, and clients that I meet and continually interact with. I look forward to being a source of some valuable, some not so valuable information for any of you Fox5 fans, interested in the Lower Eastern Shore and Ocean City!Jay Wise website www.awisemove.net email me: jay@jaywise.net
