The birthplace of the Orange Crush cocktail — Ocean City and Maryland’s most beloved summer drink — Harborside Bar & Grill on the inlet at 1st Street has the original recipe and the waterfront setting that made it famous. Hand-squeezed OJ, vodka, triple sec, and a splash of 7UP over ice with a fresh orange garnish: simple, refreshing, and endlessly imitated but never quite duplicated. The inlet location puts boat traffic, waterfront views, and the rustic old-school bayside atmosphere all in one place. Come for the Crush; stay for the crabs and the view.
