This past rainy weekend, I had cabin fever so I decided to venture out to Ocean city. With Ocean City offering a wide variety of dining choices. It is sometimes hard to figure where and what you want to do. So with a craving for pub food and beer, I decided to try the 9th Street Taphouse, located in the Paradise hotel on 9th st and the boardwalk. I am so glad, I did! Upon entering the pub not only was there a large chalkboard listing all 22 beers but also a list of the specials. We were immediately greeted by Juli and seated. After a few minutes of looking over the menu we had our decisions made. Every dish we tried was infused with beer. Jeff Burton has designed his menu around the beers he has and with 22 beers on tap hes a lot of creativity to play with. Jeff says "he has tried to make his menu unique, compared to other restaurants in the area" and I say he is SPOT ON!! After talking with Jeff and trying his food, you can see the passion he has in what he does.
