Sand, sun and sips: Five of Ocean City's best beach bars
Remember a few weeks ago when I asked for recommendations of great beach bars?
Turns out, your suggestions were a big help. My colleague, Sun writer Jill Rosen, used them to compile a great roundup of five beach bars.
Oh, and there's a photo gallery too. Check it out.
I can't believe I've never been to Fager's Island (pictured). This dock looks really romantic.
Of course, including Seacrets was inevitable. But I was glad Jill got to Liquid Assets, and a few lower key places too. She did a great job mixing it up. Her piece will appear in Sunday's paper.

Sam, you have to make it to Fagers. By far the best bar in OC. They also have a fancy restaurant side, and the best sunset view in town.
I really don't get the Liquid Assets thing. I've been there before, and it was okay, but nothing special. I actually felt weird drinking in a liquor store.
Can't believe she didn't mention Shenanigans on the Boardwalk... (haha, JOKE).

Never been to Fager's Island? Holy crap. You've been missing out.
Mackey's is also always a great time.

Above mentioned are good bars but the BEST is still SEACRETS. Since I'm over 50 yrs. of age, I like daytime best. Nightime is to crowded for me.

I don't know how Fishtales could be left out of this list. This list loses all credibility without it.
Fagers is a dump. They haven't had a good Monday deck party in years and that was their signature party. Oh wait, it still is with the 60 and older crowd. Nothin says a good time like DJ Batman and Jimmy Buffet.
