This place is not only a Steelers fan’s safe spot but a place that brings Pittsburgh to the shores of Ocean City. It was started up by the owner, Douglas Buxbaum who is originally from Johnstown, PA. He moved to Ocean City after graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He brought home with him, and this place has become a notable hot spot for fans.

This bar has been in operation since it opened in April of 1999. He holds watch parties for any fans of the black and gold that wish to gravitate to his bar to watch the game. Many have gone here during the summer months as well to see how the décor looks, which will remind them of the Steel City.
