Awesome staff, awesome bar! Loved going there and talking to the bartender, who was very personable. The place was way quieter than the other bars on the boardwalk, and had a lot calmer, more "neighborhood bar" vibe.

What a great place with tons of nostalgia. Gayle is the best bartender on the planet and made me feel at home thank you. Located right on the Boardwalk is this neighborhood bar. If in Ocean city you should check it out. The Bar also had a 50's style diner connected to it. Two quaint places that take you back in time. I will stop back for many years to come.

Cheap Eats that are very very good. * Convenient location near the inlet but where you can always find some parking a block or two away. Or do what we do and ride the bus! * Homey bar decor Reminiscent of taprooms from the 50s and 60s which oddly is very comforting. * Top notch table service. * The staff are very friendly. * We go at least a couple times a month and feel that there’s no better value on the boardwalk for inexpensive beers and good food.

I’m giving 5 stars just because Matt was a great bartender who was hustling while working the entire bar by himself on a busy sunfest afternoon.

Came in during Oceans Calling and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Will absolutely be back - top notch! A note: bring cash to tip so these guys get their due! Hopefully they get a bar-wide Cash App or Venmo so we can tip digitally in the future.

Hidden treasure of a dive bar! If you’re in this part of ocean city come in to escape the crazy of the inlet. The staff is amazing. The drinks are great. The decor is a great throwback and I love the lunch counter vibe of the kitchen.

The Inlet Bar & Grill is a wonderful spot on the Ocean City Boardwalk, especially if you want to enjoy the beach atmosphere while relaxing indoors. It has a nostalgic charm that makes you feel like you’re experiencing a classic Ocean City tradition. I ordered the chicken salad with French fries, a Chicken Caesar Salad, and a frozen slushy drink. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The food was definitely worth the visit, and the slushy drink was the perfect complement to a warm day at the beach. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and is a great place to cool off while still enjoying views and the energy of the boardwalk. The only minor downside was a few flies, which is understandable given the beach location and open-air environment. The payment system also felt a bit dated, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. If you’re looking for a comfortable indoor restaurant right on the Ocean City Boardwalk with delicious food, friendly service, and a nostalgic vibe, I highly recommend stopping by the Inlet Bar & Grill. It’s a great place to take a break from the beach without leaving the boardwalk.
