Pickles Pub

Service: We ended up at Pickles Pub for game day, and thankfully they had all the games showing across multiple screens, big and small. We were seated quickly, and our waiter was friendly and helpful in walking us through the menu options. Taste: The game day menu was impressive, with plenty of choices under $10. We ordered the fried pickles, wings with Old Bay sauce, and fries. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and delicious. The drinks were also great—we tried the Ravens Crush and an Old Fashioned, both made perfectly. Ambiance: The energy was lively and fun, just what you want for a game day spot. It’s definitely a place where you can enjoy good food, good drinks, and great company. Overall Review: Pickles Pub delivers the full sports bar experience—affordable menu, fast service, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back for another game day.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great.The servers are also great with as busy as they were the wait was not to bad. Went 4 times in one week. Will definitely be there again!! Drinks are good as well!

Love this place! I already knew I liked the quesadillas, but on my recent stop I ordered the Seasoned Fries. OMG - The Best!!! Hot and crispy! Sooo good!

Pickles Pub is located in the Midway Shopping Center on Philadelphia Ave. They are open every day from 11:30AM - 2AM. I was looking for a place to go to watch football and grab some good bar food. Several people recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The food and service were both outstanding. I ordered the award winning pub wings with wing dust and boardwalk fries. The wings were some of the best I've ever had. The wings were a good size, perfectly cooked, and the wing dust (made with old bay and brown sugar) had a great flavor. MacKenzie and the rest of the staff made my first experience a memorable one. MacKenzie was personable, had great energy, and made some awesome menu recommendations. Pickles has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery.

Cool place!!! Happy Hour is a ridiculous value. The “mini burger” is actually 3 monster sliders. The Bloody Mary is solid. Nate & “Rafael” were so welcome. Informative. Friendly. They didn’t treat me “like a tourist” at all. I will definitely be back!

Rolled in for the first day of March Madness 2025. Had a great time. Crowd was light early but picked up as folks came in to watch the games. Food and drinks were solid. They have live entertainment as well. It was our first visit so we haven’t been there on a weekend night or during the summer season but I’m sure its hoppin. Can’t wait to go back! 😄

We’ve been to OC so many times, but first time here and wish we would have found this place a long time ago! Great vibe, music, food and the best Bartenders Rob and Brock! The Skinny Berry crush was on point. Great 1st time experience!

Happy hour was a hit, they served up a deal on wings and had a nice selection of beers. The menu has a lot of options. Our meal was really good, one that would bring us back again. Our server did a great job. Parking is across the street, where there is a parking lot with designated signage for the bar.

Bro. All I gotta say is, cheesesteak, grilled onions and BEER CHEESE. You wouldn't think of finding a good ass cheesesteak in OC but damn, they GOT IT Also, to my understanding, this is the bar that locals frequent

Not very good. The server was nice and did an okay job. The food was not so good: Cheeseburger 4 out of 5 Fries 2 out of 5 - just ehhh Wings 1 out of 5 - nuclear sauce was good but wings were not cooked well. I asked for extra crispy and the were chewy Fried pickles 2.5 out of 5 - 1/2 were crispy and the other 1/2 were soggy Fried Mozzarella 3 out of 5 Quesadilla with chicken 1 out of 5 - my daughter order it with just cheese and chicken and it came out with peppers and onions. She ate 1/2 of it and isn't feeling well. I'd say this place is good for people in their 20s looking to party and not eat.

Food was good and service was great. When we walked in, the music was perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone.

We stopped there tonight for dinner. We order fried pickles, Parmesan garlic wings, and a pizza. The food was phenomenal. The service not so much.. I would go back but would like a different server.

Omg, all the times I've been to OC I can't believe I had never been here. We came here on St Patty's weekend 2024. It was crowded but so much fun. Amazing DJ, great and reasonably priced drinks, great service. Clean bathrooms and just an overall nice vibe. And they didn't charge a cover!

I've never been here, but drove past it so many times. After listening to a podcast of a bartender that worked there years ago, we decided to finally check it out. Fun atmosphere, pub food, and some beers. The steamed shrimp were better than most places we used to go to. PB&J wings tasted great and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich on a waffle was quite good. Easy parking and a place we'd return to. Probably not every year, but on nights we want just pub-like food, we'd be back. Maybe even just for an early drink and the steamed shrimp. My wife's family gets steamed shrimp everywhere they go and most places are disappointing now. Pickles pub does it all right.

Fun place. Nice people. Good bar food. The have an attached liquor store and pool tables.

The beers are on point. Bartenders were cool. Had a catfish po boy with potato salad and was very impressed. Was expecting plain bar food not a real meal. Prices were good. Plenty of pool and others. DJ was spinning some good reggae. Good atmosphere and plenty of ladies to chat with. And it's only a Tuesday night!? WHAT!? This place is on point, awesome, and an Ocean City MUST!

Man!! We went there last night. It wasn't full but the staff was busy as hell. They were on voluntary work time. We got steak and cheese subs and tater tots. Everything was great. The staff was on the money. We couldn't believe how fast our beers got there. Our waitress was running all over the place. But somehow she kept up and didn't miss a thing. Now for the ambiance, we loved everything about the place. We will be back.

Great vibes. Very cool servers n bartenders. Good drinks and a lot of variety. Always good tunes on, great live bands on those nights, walkable location from the boardwalk-but also a parking lot. Good bar food, but trust me when I say get the scallops and crab dip!

Had a great time here the other night. Stopped in late w my sister and some friends, and had some beers and shot some pool. I used to come here years ago when it was a hole in the wall. They have long since revamped the place, but it still has that local-loved worn-in flavor. People were dancing, drinking, playing pool and other bar games like trivia and hoops. It was a great time, a fun vibe and I will def be back.

2.75% credit card charge on all tabs. Decent food and good Sunday football atmosphere.

I love this Bar It's my kind of place Country music nice friendly Staff Live Music The Blackened Shrimp Pizza-OMG so good

One of my favorite bars in OC, especially downtown, by a long shot. Great food, great drinks, awesome atmosphere, friendly staff... and awesome bro tank tops for sale. I love this place.

Awesome service from Olivia!! Good atmosphere! Awesome nacho and soft pretzels. Sports fans were enthusiastic, but polite!

Good food and fun atmosphere. Pizza was yummy and drinks were great. Little loud but part of the atmosphere

So we were visiting for the weekend and wanted to watch the ufc fight so we came to check it out. The only had preliminary fights not ppv but we ended up staying for the ambiance and the food/drink. Pickle shots were fire if you like pickles of course and live band was great. Good also very good. Just a great bar, lots of neighborhood folks having a good time. Would def come back if we get the chance to return !

Went back to Pickles again yesterday and Katie was our bartender. Everything was great again. Our nice long weekend has come to an end because work sucks and it gets in the way of all the fun we could be having in life. We're stopping at Pickles again before we leave as we have no idea when we'll be back in Ocean City. Also have to get another order of wings before leaving. This has definitively been our favorite place(and we've visited a lot of places).

If I could leave a negative review I would!!! ABSOLUTELY DIGUSTING was the food.....the wife got a salad and the lettuce was all wilted and nasty......the fried pickles.....GOT GREASE?? And the tacos were way less than desirable......I wouldn't even feed that food to my dog....im not a picky eater, this was bad.....STAY AWAY!

This review is for the off-season because this is the only time we come. During the off-season it becomes a happy locals place and that's a good thing because you get really accurate reviews from people you know and it has encouraged us to go to pickles three times since September. A particular visit of note was when four couples got together In October for lunch and we all had a great time. Our service was good and so was the food and the prices were right. Bryan was our great server. I was five days away from having back surgery and still visibly disabled. He saw this and made sure that I had very comfortable seating. He went above and beyond. What a nice guy!!! On this occasion I had the Pub burger with Potato salad and pickle. YUM! We all shared a Chicken nachos platter that was huge and a very enjoyable Pretzel platter. My SO had the Steak n bake of which he raved. The 8 of us will return.

A true mish mosh of clientele during the off season. The idea was born from curiosity and boredom. The area is spacious, accommodating, slightly grungy(men's room more so), & the pool and arcade games can keep you occupied. The menu offers a variety of easy to make and consume choices, and slightly surprising alternatives. Jalapeño poppers, and sliders, which are large portions, are a decent value and mostly tasty. It's all in what you want, or whatever. Come and enjoy PP in the OCMD.

Not many dining options during the off season, but we were super happy that Pickles was open. They have walk up bar service right now which was fine, we did sit at the bar which was great because it's a rarity for us. Our food order came out quickly and everything was delicious. We got the crabby pretzel, philly cheese steak egg rolls and Buffalo shrimp tacos. And while at pickles you have to do a "pickle" shot. They are sooooo good! But too many will make you not remember things! So be careful. The liquor store next door sells bottles of pickle shots. Yum!

We stop here on a Thursday every year while on our golf trip. Very good happy hour. Nice food specials.

We went a few nights ago. Good crowd, but not packed. Great drinks & service. Had lots of fun playing pool!

They have one of the best burgers in Ocean City. I enjoyed every bite. The staff is very knowledgeable about the food.

Horrible orange crush. No fresh orange. Simple syrup, and sprite. Worst in OC. Avoid at all costs. Cheap vodka. Complained but would not refund. Had to bargain to get another drink. Got charged the difference. OMG

Good local bar that is open year long! They have entertainment through out the week. Would rather come here than go to Seacrets. Food has gotten so much better since new ownership. Always a good time, bartenders sometimes have attitude

Top notch beer selection and the Porkys Revenge pizza was exactly what I was imagining. If you're looking for a good bar with good beer and cheap drinks it's 5 star. If your looking for family friendly dining and craft cocktails probably not the best late night spot.

We go to Pickles at night all of the time and have always had great service, even when they are very busy. We arrived about 4:30 PM, on a Sunday afternoon, with about 10 people in the place. We could not get any service from the bar tender. She gave us menus and I kept going to the bar and she was just talking to people. I went to another bar tender after waiting a while. She was on the other side of the bar. She was also talking with a couple for a long time. She told me to go back to the other side and that the first bar tender would help us. We got frustrated and decided to leave and go somewhere that we could get better service.

I thought this pub was alright and seems like a fun place to hang out. The cocktail that the bartender made for me was good but I didn't particularly like the crab dip because there were pieces of either pickles or jalapeño in the dip. If I had known that I wouldn't have gotten the crab dip. The service here was good and overall my experience here was ok.

This pub was truly a mediocre sports bar with awful food. Our waitress only stopped by the table when I flagged her down. We were seated next to 4 large trash cans (the rest of the place was reserved by another party). Our food was bland and greasy. My food was swimming in oil and the lettuce in my salad was all shriveled and brown it was very obvious that someone in the kitchen did not care. I do not recommend this place! Will not be on my "return to " list.

Yum, dapper dill, great drinks and atmosphere, music is great- - great waitress - thanks Katie!

This bars service is abysmal. You'd think walking into such a spacious place that it would pay off. You were wrong. The employees here are horrible, and they know it too. Locals are nasty, except for a select few. Getting a drink is relatively easy if that's all your looking for, but if you're looking for good vibes this place is just f**king disgusting. I hate these people with all my heart, the employees and the bouncers are irrational and terrible people. My despise for them is so strong it's ridiculous. Come here if you want to have drinks and completely disassociate from the staff. If you are looking for any customer support, this place is horrible. I honestly would never step foot in this disgusting place. F**k them all. F**k them to oblivion.

The managers of the place harassed my family and children. I've never seen anything like this. Not only that, they wouldn't stop insulting our table. Even the waiter who was great was upset about having to clean up the mess that management made. They were drinking before their shift and throwing ice. It was unreal. Then they tried to blame us for bringing kids into the establishment. It was 7:00 and they have a kids menu. It also states that they have the restaurant open to children until 9. I will never recommend anyone go here.

Great food and welcoming service. This was my first visit and will definitely return when I'm back in town!

Came here to watch football and baseball games during the off-season. Sat at a table by the bar for 20 minutes with no service. Figured we'd have to go the the bar and that there wasn't a server in that section. After getting our drinks from the bar, the sever came over. When we said we had just ordered from the bar because we didn't know there was a server; he responded with "sit at the bar". So we went back to the bar as clearly the only way to get timely service was via a bartender. Guess the sever didn't want to make a tip on the multiple rounds of drinks and apps. Always come here when we are in town but the service has drastically gone down l.

IVE BEEN TO ALOT OF BARS THIS IS THE WORST BAR I'VE EVER BEEN TOO ! Do not come here there very strict this is not a fun bar the staff did nothing but harass me as soon as I started coming here and I'm a local .There very ignorant people and the only thing they care about is your money DO NOT GIVE THESE PPL YOUR MONEY BETTER OFF GOING TO ANOTHER BAR. I asked them every time I come in here you guys harass me I only been in here a few times always asking for my id. So for me telling them your harassing me they banned me from the bar horrible place the food is terrible and they don't make your drinks stiff at all highway robbery.... The manger banned me for telling them there harassing me I'm a local. Also I over heard the manger call me a stupid ni**er... as soon as you walk in you need your id to register in there computer then act like they didn't do it when you start drinking messing with you

Tried to go here to play a couple games of pool and have some drinks with my friends. I am from Miami Fl and the bouncer told me my ID was fake (The same real ID I used to get through TSA earlier in the day) the bouncer confiscated my ID and told me the only way to get it back was to call the police... I asked the bouncer for the address and all he said was tell them you're and at pickles and go outside. He then opened a bag of Cheetos and sat there munching while I called 911. The police came and confirmed it was real and gave me my ID back. The bouncer never apologized for the inconvenience or embarrassment he just caused due to his lack of training. As the manager of a night club in Miami this was appalling service and I can happily say I will never be returning.

Great food and good beer selection. Highly recommend. Close to the beach and boardwalk.

Great food that was super flavorful. Great service and had a great atmosphere. Fried pickles are a must!

Horrible all around! Called to make a reservation before we walked over 2 miles with 5 kids. They said no problem, come in. We got there exactly at the time we said we would, and the hostess told us that they were no longer seating people, as the kitchen was 'overwhelmed'. So i explained the situation to her, that we had given our name, number of people and time and that they had told us our reservation was confirmed. She said 'i don't care, we won't seat you, kitchen is busy'. So i asked, 'can we sit and just have a few drinks while we wait?'. She said no. We were all completely shocked and frustrated! Very rude staff and why make a reservation if they won't honor it? Now with 5 hungry kids in tow; we had to find another restaurant to accommodate 10 people. Very aggravating! Definitely won't be back!

Great service and food. Karaoke was awesome and had a great time with a good atmosphere.

Good vibes great spot for March madness! Get the Nashville chicken waffle best thing on menu hands down. The drinks are super tasty and people are friendly!

Best downtown bar in oc.. parking is easy as a large lot across the street. Plenty of craft beer as well as your favorite domestics. Bartenders no a variety of shots to get u going andosy importantly sneaky good food. The bacon me crazy is must and wings are top 3 in oc. Great for day drinking on those overcast rainy oc days

Thursday during happy hour. Been here before and have always been please. Today - Service from waitress to bartender to kitchen was excellent. Orange crushes and steam shrimp were perfect. Very fast and professional. :)

It is the off-season and barely anything is open. I walked in and, for novelty sake, ordered the angus burger with crab dip which goes by the name, The Eastern Shore. I also ordered the fries and a couple of beers. Crab dip on a burger in OCMD seemed kitschy at first, but, man, did it work! I highly recommend this choice and will be trying to replicate it at home. The fries were also top notch. It seems like I ordered some tacos a few years ago and was impressed. The bartender was friendly and attentive which isn't a given nowadays. What a pleasant surprise!

I have been here 2 times and have enjoyed all we have gotten to eat. The burgers are very good and the salads really big. They don't have a lot of staff but they still are friendly and on top of things.

I'm not one to write a bad review but I was at Pickles this weekend visiting from across the country, Arizona to be exact. I walked in with my friends Friday afternoon and showed the blonde bartender my ID, and the first words to come out of his mouth were "do you have a not fake one? This expires in 2059." ??? First of all, As a bartender you should be educated in different forms of IDs and know that every state is different, ESPECIALLY when you're bartending in a tourist beach town. Second of all, What kind of customer service is that? So rude and uncalled for, there's a million other ways he could've approached the situation. Rubbed me the complete wrong way. So dude, if you're reading this, PLEASE learn some common curiosity.

It was very busy, DJ was awesome, bartender is very friendly. Patio is awesome for smoking. Good for have a fun.

People were very friendly drinks were great and food was amazing....even on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. I work over night and my only days off are on those days so I thought that might slow things down....not at all I Loved It
