FAQ
Do you take reservations?
We do not accept reservations. We welcome walk-ins and encourage guests to join our same-day online waitlist, especially for parties of 6 or more. Join the waitlist HERE.
What time does the waitlist open?
Our online waitlist opens daily at 4:00 PM.
How far in advance can I join the waitlist?
Our waitlist is available for same-day dining only. It is not a reservation and cannot be joined days in advance.
Does the waitlist include bar seating?
No. Bar seating is first-come, first-served and is not included in our waitlist.
Can you accommodate large parties?
Absolutely! Larger groups are welcome. Because we do not accept reservations, we strongly encourage parties of 6 or more to join our online waitlist as early as possible. Seating larger groups together may require additional wait time. For larger party gatherings or special group arrangements, please contact our General Manager, Juliana, at eat@oclibs.com. She’ll be happy to discuss what we may be able to accommodate.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes. Gluten-free dishes are marked GF on our menu. Please let your server know about any allergies or dietary restrictions so our team can help guide you through the menu.
Can you accommodate food allergies or other dietary restrictions?
We will always do our best to accommodate dietary needs. Please inform your server of any allergies or restrictions before ordering. Because our kitchen handles a variety of ingredients, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.
Do you offer non-alcoholic options?
Yes! We offer mocktails, non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic wine, and other zero-proof options. Our bartenders are also happy to help with special requests.
Do you offer carryout?
We do not currently offer carryout. We invite you to join us and enjoy the full Liberatore’s experience.
Do you host private events?
While we do not have a dedicated private event space, we may be able to accommodate private daytime events and special gatherings depending on the date and group size. For event inquiries, please contact our General Manager, Juliana, at eat@oclibs.com.
Do you offer catering?
Yes. For catering inquiries, please contact eat@oclibs.com. For larger events throughout Maryland, our Lib’s Catering team and Owings Mills catering facility can also accommodate a wide range of events.
Do you have a dress code?
We are a relaxed, upscale wine bar and restaurant. We invite our guests to dress polished, comfortable, and ready for a great evening. Resort attire is always welcome. We kindly ask that guests avoid beachwear, sweatpants, backward hats, and men’s tank tops.
Do you accept vertical IDs?
No. We are unable to accept vertical IDs as valid identification for alcohol service, regardless of age.
Please bring a valid, horizontal government-issued photo ID. A valid passport is also accepted.
Are children welcome?
Yes, children are welcome; however, our restaurant and atmosphere are designed primarily for an adult dining experience. We do not offer high chairs, booster seats, or a children’s menu, so we recommend keeping that in mind when planning your visit.
Do you have outdoor seating?
No. All dining and bar seating is indoors.
Are you open year-round?
Yes! Liberatore’s Ocean City is open year-round. Hours may change seasonally, so we recommend checking our current hours before visiting.
Do you offer Happy Hour?
We don’t have a traditional Happy Hour — every hour is happy hour with us!
Do you have mobility-accessible seating?
Yes. While much of our dining room consists of high-top seating, we have three low-top tables available for guests who need them. If someone in your party requires accessible seating, we recommend calling ahead. While we cannot guarantee a specific table, our team will do everything possible to accommodate you.
Where can I park?
We have ample parking available directly in front of the building, along with select additional parking spaces located behind the building.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes! Liberatore’s gift cards are available for purchase online HERE or in person. Gift cards can be used at all Liberatore’s, Liquid Lib’s, and Lib’s Grill locations, making them a great option no matter which location you visit.
Can I bring outside food or a birthday cake?
Outside food and beverages are not permitted. If you are celebrating a special occasion, please contact our team in advance and we’ll be happy to discuss available options.
