This weekend, Ocean City says a temporary goodbye to two popular establishments—The Wedge Bar and Harbor Watch. As Sunfest brings its usual excitement to the boardwalk, locals and visitors alike will be taking advantage of one last chance to visit these beloved spots before they close for the winter season. While these closures aren’t permanent, it still marks a moment of reflection as we bid a seasonal farewell to two cherished favorites.
The Wedge Bar
Though The Wedge Bar has only been open for two years, it’s already become a local hotspot. Known for its fun atmosphere and cocktails, The Wedge is a laid-back gathering place for locals and tourists alike. Whether your looking to unwind after a long day at the beach or catch up with friends over a drink, this small but mighty bar made everyone feel welcome this summer.
Join us on October 27th for their closing party! You won’t want to miss out on the choice of $4 beer, $6 rails, and $8 crushes all day long!
Harrison’s Harbor Watch
Harrison’s Harbor Watch, with its stunning views of the inlet and famous seafood dishes, has long been a staple in Ocean City’s dining scene. Positioned at the southern end of the boardwalk, this restaurant was a destination for those seeking fresh seafood with an unbeatable view. Families, visitors, and locals have enjoyed countless meals here, from the raw bar to Maryland’s iconic crab cakes.
As Harbor Watch closes for the winter season, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the countless memories made within its walls. While the restaurant will take a break, patrons know it will be back next season, ready to serve up more seafood and sunset views. This year was their 40th anniversary and they will be offering 20% off bottles of wine this weekend as a last celebration! Some of their specials will include buffalo shrimp, lobster ravioli, 40th anniversary crab cake, flash fried oysters, oyster stew, and lobster bisque.
Sunfest Weekend: A Perfect Time for a Final Visit
This weekend also happens to be Sunfest, one of Ocean City’s most popular events, bringing large crowds to the area for music, arts, and delicious food. Those attending Sunfest can easily stop by Harbor Watch or The Wedge Bar, taking advantage of the parking available under Harbor Watch. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy one last cocktail at The Wedge or feast on fresh seafood at Harbor Watch before they close their doors for the winter.
Until Next Season
As Sunfest wraps up and we say our temporary goodbyes to The Wedge Bar and Harbor Watch, it’s a chance to reflect on the good times had and look forward to their return in the spring. These two spots have become such a part of the Ocean City experience that their brief absence will be felt, but anticipation will build for their reopening!
