THE BEARDED CLAM, established in 1978 by the Strawleys, is located at 15 Wicomico St. in downtown Ocean City, Maryland.

THE CLAM, as the customer refer to us, is a Bar & Liquor Store. We have pool tables, video games and a dart board.

The entertainment is mostly provided by the customers (ha-ha), but we also have 7 televisions and a great juke box.

A feature at THE CLAM are fresh squeezed fruit drinks and some of the coldest draft and bottle beer in town.

THE CLAM is sports-oriented and motorcycle rider friendly. Our hours are 11am until 2am, seven days a week, in season.

In the off season, our hours are cut back some so the help can take a breather.

We started going here because it was my brother's favorite place to go in Ocean City and I wanted to honor his memory. However it's become our favorite place to go for a beer and hang out. The bartenders were awesome and we enjoyed hanging out with fellow patrons. We love that they are police and fire friendly as well. Already can't wait to go back on our next trip.

Nice location . Pretty close to boardwalk .. very good interiors and an old style bar. They had few beers on tap . Tried land shark and it was good . There were few other drafts , and not many IPA options (atleast on tap) .. they probably had ipas on bottles . Service was a bit slow . Billing was slow too. I liked the atmosphere though. They had pool table etc . Nice place for a quick drink. 4/5

Loved this place. Dive bar feel. Pool tables, photo booth, and the wall of fame was hysterical. Bartenders were extremely friendly and the patrons were beyond welcoming. Loved this bar!
