The Buzzed Word

Absolutely love this store. Mickie and Ryann are so kind, the book selection is extensive, and the wines are high quality. They obviously really care about what they sell. I also appreciate the social events at TBW – book clubs, movie nights, tastings, etc. A great place to shop and to just gather in general. Highly recommend!

Thank God for this little paradise in Ocean City. It’s a wine bar and book shop all in one. I love The Buzzed Word for two really good reasons:

1. I love reading and the selection of books here are awesome. Such a wide variety, something for everyone, and most have a handwritten note from the owner on a little bit of what to expect about the book like a mini review or why it’s a great read and things like that. I LOVE that personal touch about this place.

2. The wine. I can drink wine anywhere…sure. But the wine selection here is SO good. Undoubtedly, the best wine selection in Ocean City but that’s just my opinion. Really delicious wines, organic wines, and unique wines that have expanded my horizons so much. And everyone there is super helpful and knowledgeable on wines, notes, and recs on what to drink which I appreciate a lot!

Come here to hang with friends and have some drinks, come here to sit and read with a glass of wine, pick up a new book, a bottle of wine to go, or find some fun little treasures to buy (so many cute things in there and I’ve seen some really cool retro / vintage things to buy too. Oh, and please please go to the bathroom (paying customer) when you visit and read the beautiful poems framed on the wall.

They have light snacks and other things to drink besides wine. Parking is never an issue.

The Buzzed Word has a great selection of books and wine, as well as tinned fish, stickers, merchandise and more! The staff is very welcoming, and they have built a great community with their book clubs and other events. I highly recommend a visit!
