Awesome staff, awesome bar! Loved going there and talking to the bartender, who was very personable. The place was way quieter than the other bars on the boardwalk, and had a lot calmer, more "neighborhood bar" vibe.

What a great place with tons of nostalgia. Gayle is the best bartender on the planet and made me feel at home thank you. Located right on the Boardwalk is this neighborhood bar.

Came in during Oceans Calling and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Will absolutely be back - top notch! A note: bring cash to tip so these guys get their due! Hopefully they get a bar-wide Cash App or Venmo so we can tip digitally in the future.

Hidden treasure of a dive bar! If you’re in this part of ocean city come in to escape the crazy of the inlet. The staff is amazing. The drinks are great. The decor is a great throwback and I love the lunch counter vibe of the kitchen.

The Inlet Bar & Grill is a wonderful spot on the Ocean City Boardwalk, especially if you want to enjoy the beach atmosphere while relaxing indoors. It has a nostalgic charm that makes you feel like you’re experiencing a classic Ocean City tradition. I ordered the chicken salad with French fries, a Chicken Caesar Salad, and a frozen slushy drink. …
