Fager’s Island

Ocean City, MD

Overview

We haven't made it to this bar yet, but here is what we know

Built in 1975 by John Fager on a two-acre bayside parcel that most people thought was a terrible idea, Fager’s Island has become Ocean City’s most beloved waterfront institution: an award-winning bayfront restaurant, nightclub, and hotel complex at 60th Street that remains second in scope only to Seacrets. The signature tradition: every night at sunset, regardless of season, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture plays while the sun drops over the bay, a ritual so beloved it draws crowds just for the moment. A perennial award winner for its dinner menu, 30+ wines by the glass, and craft beer program featuring Dogfish Head and Burley Oak. Live music most nights in summer; strict dress code after 8 PM.

Worth pairing with the rest of beach bars around the Chesapeake.

We Haven’t Been Here Yet

The Beach Bar Bum hasn’t made it to Fager’s Island yet. Budget cuts, tragic. But there’s water, drinks, and zero shoe policy, so it’s on the list. We just need a brave soul to confirm it’s real, preferably with a cold drink in hand.
