Velvet Hour: Live Jazz Band Every Thursday Evening 6 PM

at Oyster and Scales

306 Dorchester Street, Ocean City, MD 21842

410-520-4551

Peter, the owner, shared that Oyster and Scales has been open since August 2025, but their signage was still on back order on 1/8/26, when I was there recently listening to the live jazz trio (which was members of The Hot Sauce Band). Owned by the same owner at the Spain Wine Bar, this restaurant is where the old Marina Deck was located. But now it is renovated with crystal chandeliers over the main bar, white table cloth-covered tables, amazing cocktails, tapas and full entrees. I enjoyed the "Mint To Be" mocktail and the salmon. This place can seat hundreds of guests in various rooms. During the summer they can seat over a hundred up on the roof.

Expect to hear plenty of the Great American Songbook in jazz & blues hues.

Parking is easy to find this time of year.

Support the restauranteur that is supporting live music! And, thank you for your support!
