Nice location . Pretty close to boardwalk .. very good interiors and an old style bar. They had few beers on tap . Tried land shark and it was good . There were few other drafts , and not many IPA options (atleast on tap) .. they probably had ipas on bottles . Service was a bit slow . Billing was slow too. I liked the atmosphere though. They had pool table etc . Nice place for a quick drink. 4/5

The Bearded Clam has a prime spot right next to the boardwalk, so naturally we thought, “Perfect—drinks and food!” Well, turns out the only thing they were serving us was disappointment, because we were told they don’t do food. Fine, whatever—orange crushes it is. And to be fair, the orange crush was solid.
They’ve also got this hilarious photo booth with a boob theme (yes, you read that right). Definitely a conversation starter—probably the most entertaining part of our stop.
But then… enter Grumpy Santa. An older guy with a white beard behind the bar who made it his mission to kill the vibe. We tried to tip him, but only had cards. Asked about Venmo, Cash App, anything modern. His solution? “Go to the ATM.” Like sir, we’re trying to give you money, not apply for a mortgage. He actually argued with our friend over it, which was so ridiculous. Poor service.

Right on the bay where we had a hotel wonderful little 50-yard walk maybe always kept clean the services very friendly laid-back outdoor seating they have music like Thursday Friday Saturday. We did have a sandwich there. It was good at average prices we’ve gone there almost every evening just to sit back and relax play some cards and listen to music.

This place was much needed, took a weekend trip with some buddies and decided to do a bar crawl while the wives and kids were home. We ended up coming back to the Beaded Clam after hitting some of the others… for the bartender (I believe it was Chip) and the atmosphere. We hit a bunch of bars and found this to be the most fun. Couldn’t help but feeling like home with Eagles things all over. Talked with some of the other staff everyone was great! As a club (Redneck Yacht Club) we always look for venues to make repeats on future trips. This will 100% be a must stop every time we are anywhere close to OCMD. We ended up doing 4 or 5 rounds here and it averaged 35-40 a round with bottled beer and some shots which isn’t bad for the placement of the bar. Its super close to the board walk and hotels. Great spot if you want to feel like you’re at your local bar with friends. Highly recommend it. They have a great sticker too. Make sure you Tip Chip! He’s awesome!

It would be a 5 star if they would get rid of the bartender Chip! He is nasty! You can’t ask a question without him bitching at you for asking!

Been hanging at the clam for over 30 years! You’re missing a big part of Ocean City history if you don’t stop here for a beer!

Chip is one of the rudest bartenders and miserable person I ever met.
