Make sure you go to a place called "Seacrets". Best freakin bar I've ever been to.

 

Big Peckers is Biker Friendly. Also Pickles Pub. You canhead out of OC to Oasis in Whaleyville.

Cops are every where for Bike Week.... especially on 50 between Salisbury and OC.

 

All good info above, Seacrets will give you whiplash from how fast your head will move to keep up with the random ***...

also Dead Freddies and if you like mexcian food Tequila Mockingbird is a good place

It's been a really long time since I've been to OC, but the original Greene Turtle is at 118th Street, Bayside. I spent many a night there. They used to let us prop our surf boards behind the bar and leave them at closing time. You threw the peanut shells on the floor and I don't remember them serving food, but they let us order pizza and have it delivered to the bar.

A lot of people will take 404W to 13S or 113S if Route 50 is jammed up, which can happen.

There are usually plenty of speed traps on the way to OC. There are long stretches between Annapolis and Salisbury where its wide open, but LEOs like to hide in the trees in the median as you get closer to the shore. And they nab a ton of people coming around a curve.

True story from 20-25 years ago ... I was on the way to the beach about 1/2 between Salisbury and OC. Came around a curve and there was a boy - about 12 or 13 - on the side of the road holding a piece of cardboard: "RADAR". I slowed down and around the bend, sure enough, was a speed trap with 3-4 police cars and no cars pulled over. A hundred yards down the road was another bend ... around it was another kid holding up 5 gal pickle bucket that said: "TIPS". Figured $5 was well earned. I don't know how long it took before they got caught, but I bet they made some good money that day.

Also, be careful coming into the little towns like Easton and Cambridge. The speed limit will drop straight from 50 to 25 and LEO will sit right there at the edge of town and clock you 10' past the sign doing 45 in a 25 as you are slowing down. Has happened to me more then once.

 

Wild bills is ok. Burn out pits and bands. Down near first street. Fishtails was already mentioned. I think secrets is way over crowded after 10 (where they have rock bands, inside), during earlier hours it's great though. Heard purple moose is good but haven't been in there yet (that's on the boardwalk near first street area). I think bike week is the last event for the year. Some places run low on beer, hooters ran out of bud light on us. Said they weren't getting anymore cause they were closing for the season. Last year was a hurricane. Just had my bike pin striped in Salisbury and had to ride back to OC in the damn thing. Had some videos of some bikes falling over. Most all the bars that are good will have vendors outside and selling beer outside, so they are easy to find while riding. Ride up the coastal hwy to hwy 20 or a little further to 26. Go west till you hit seaford. The hd shop is there, some vendors. Then 13 south to Salisbury and back to OC. I'll be there starting on monday that week, do the beach thing first and then bike week(end).
