Memorial Day is finally here! An extended weekend, beach naps, and of course delicious restaurants are what’s in store for you this holiday weekend in Ocean City, Maryland. Here are the top 5 restaurants you should visit in Ocean City, Maryland for Memorial Day Weekend.
Coastal Quiet with a View
Harrison’s Harbor Watch
If a quiet restaurant atmosphere is what you’re looking for, Harrison’s Harbor Watch is the perfect place for you. A staple located at the very end of the south of the boardwalk, Harrion’s has direct view of the Ocean City inlet as watercrafts make their way in and out of the Atlantic Ocean. Large windows give the dining room a romantic glow as the sun sets over West Ocean City. If you’re interested in tasting the best oyster stew in Ocean City, visit the bar area where you can watch the bartender artfully stir and create your order right in front of you.
Live Music and Outdoor Seating
The Wedge Bar
Some of the best outdoor seating is by far here at The Wedge Bar. Indoor seating provides a cool area lit with twinkle lights and a large marlin watching over the white marlin capital of the world. Outdoor seating allows patrons to enjoy happy hour specials at an outdoor bar, a light ocean breeze and live music. This weekend’s line up is as follows:

Luxurious Atmosphere with A Sunset View
Spain Wine Bar
This past Friday, Spain Wine Bar, celebrated a new look to their indoor/outdoor space. Located atop The Cambria Hotel as you come across the route 50 bridge, Spain has a top notch sunset view. “Indulge in traditional tapas that burst with earthy and tangy flavors or savor the rich, hearty skillets of paella that are filled with succulent seafood, beef, and chorizo options.” And be sure not to miss their exquisite dessert menu compiled of creamy cheesecake, churros drizzled in warm chocolate, and a flourless chocolate cake that melts in your mouth.
If you’re here for the weekend and want brunch options, Spain Wine Bar is also open for a bottomless or ala carte brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations highly recommended.

Order a dozen of your favorite local oysters with an $8 orange crush or a $6.50 local IPA draft and get your vacation on. Marlin Moon is located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton Ocean City Waterfront.
