For the past thirty years, locals and visitors to the area have been stopping in the little shop on the west-bound side of Route 50 for their beer and wine. For the past 13 years, husband and wife team Sara and Dave Hambury have been operating The Green Room in West Ocean City, working around the clock for the past few months on the latest expansion of the bottle shop, which will now include spirits and a full bar. An expansion is merely an understatement, as the space has undergone a complete re-haul and facelift, bringing another locally-owned and operated gem to the Ocean City area.

Year round local that takes special places like this for granted… I’ll snob out on good beer but the selection is always fresh and exactly what you’re looking for here… but then something right next to it is even better! The staff is extremely friendly and dynamic in every field of inventory. As much as it may be a turn off when things are passed off between employees, asking about Pinot demands a much different palate than a hazy IPA. Phil will help guide you on the perfect beer and then gladly guide you to John to make the recommendations on the wine for your significant other. It’s the confidence the staff show in each other’s recommendations that allows me to try new things. Otherwise, at other stores I steer right towards what I know is good and that’s it… This is thee best place to stock up on the way into town to say the least!

Welcoming, friendly and non judgmental crew working here and helpful too. Came in asking where their cheap beer was and they rolled with it. Had to ask for help picking amongst said cheapest beers. Shared that we didn’t have a clue bc it was for cooking crabs not drinking and usually use whatever dad has stocked. RIP his IPA. Staff pointed us to the National one originating from Baltimore saying it was quintessentially MD crab and beer experience. Perfect rec bc loved the pitch, packaging and reasoning given that we weren’t basing on taste. Fastest in and out decision ever. Crabs came out great ! Paired well with vinegar and Old Bay. $12 for 12 glass bottles pretax.

We are new to the area and stopped in here to stock up for a party. I went in with my 2 boys (ages 22 and 25) so they could help carry and they don't look young by any means. There is a very large sign outside of the store that clearly states that everyone that enters the store must be 21. We were checking out the bourbon selection to see if they had any specialty liquors (they did not) when the older man behind the counter yells across the store at us. He stated " You boys better have your ID's on you because if you touch anything I will need to ID you." We all turned to see if he was talking to us and he was. Everyone in the store was looking. My boys just said they did and he again yells "I'm going to ID you if you touch ANYTHING!" He made us feel very uncomfortable as he drew attention to us and they had every right to be in there. We obviously know they can be ID'd and wouldn't have gone in there if they were under age. We considered leaving as he was so rude and disrespectful but grabbed a few things and left as quickly as we could. I made sure the boys carried everything and he indeed ID'd them. He quickly changed his tone but the damage has been done. We would have been very good customers and will NEVER set foot in there again. I would encourage everyone to find a friendlier and more respectful liquor store to give your business too as well.
