Family-Friendly Restaurant with Indoor Games

As Ropewalk’s newest concept in Ocean City, we are bringing a whole new type of restaurant to town.

Where It Started

The Original Baltimore Ropewalk Tavern is located on one of the oldest streets in Federal Hill and dates back to the pre-prohibition. In 1995, brothers Bill and Marc McFaul, along with their sister Linda in 2004, started renovating their collection of spaces and found various documents and relics from the early 1900’s. Ten years later in 2005, Chris Reda, a real estate agent and developer, joined the Ropewalk family. Together, they have opened over a dozen successful businesses in Bethany Beach, Ocean City, Chincoteague Island, and Baltimore.

The summer of 2019 brought a new concept to the Ropewalk family, Alley Oops, a family-friendly restaurant with games and miniature bowling.

Upscale Beach Dining

In conjunction with its sister location, Alley Oops Uptown serves an upscale menu in a family-friendly environment. We strive to recreate the beach vibes from our other locations in an indoor setting. This establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

Games

Find the newest games and mini bowling at Alley Oops. Load money on electronic cards to play games and rack up points to earn prizes at the redemption center. Wondering what separates the games and dining areas? A live shark tank!

Come enjoy upscale eats and entertainment for the whole family at Alley Oops Uptown in Ocean City, MD.

So much fun & tasty food!

So much fun! Tasty food at very reasonable prices, excellent service, and tons of arcade games for everyone. The kids played for almost two hours on just a $20 game card! Meanwhile, the adults enjoyed watching the French Open men’s final on the big screen TV. A perfect spot for families or large groups. Plus, no wait at all for Sunday lunch—highly recommend!

Bowling is so much fun!

Bowling so much fun I meet a lot of people there. The staff was friendly. The food was super delicious. I will go there again soon. It’s better than 10 ten pin bowling. It was my first time there I had so much fun with Family members we had chicken Chicken Tenders Deliciously and soda diet in the picture glass The French fries was super deliciousness I would go there again. It will be good for families and friends and wheelchair access and with people debilities will have so much fun.

Extremely kid friendly!

Extremely kid friendly- easy to win claw machines! Fun to do on a rainy day or to sit and watch football while the kids play. You will spend a million dollars on the arcade. They have a weekday offseason special for a 2 hour all you can play.

Great food & service!

Food was really good.
Atmosphere and service was awesome. Our server was pretty busy, and could have asked us to give up the table to sit more people. He was happy to let us leave our stuff at the table and take our kids to play games in the arcade.
Would recommend to all families, or couples on a date!

Awesome place for dinner & games!

Awesome place for dinner and games. My family loves this place. We had a nice dinner. The funnel cake fries are delicious. Highly recommended. My little kids had a blast playing the video games. I thought $50 for games was worth it. I recommend this place for sure! My family and I will go back next year
