BoozeMenusFebruary 24, 2012For just $12 you get a NY state draft, plenty to choose from, and (6) oysters of the day. You’ll also have the option of purchasing additional oysters form the list ranging from $2-2.75/oyster. Read more
Tarik FayadOctober 15, 2017“They carry a really great curation of oysters, including hard to get wild oysters. Their beer list is sick too.” - via InsideHook
Afro lynneFebruary 17, 2013Super fresh oysters, must try the fettuccine with clams and grab a beer with that. Frindly staff will def return!
Zayed KhanAugust 29, 2014The scallops are so buttery and delicious and buttery. Did I mention they're buttery? Our waitress was cool too, very helpful with oyster selection.
Evgenia MakarchikNovember 4, 2017House-cured salmon, clams fettuccine, grilled tuna - all delicious!! 1$ St.Simon oysters outstanding too. A go-to place for sure.
Ask Shane or Chris for a taste of any draft or wine if you're curious. They'll probably offer you one anyway, but it's nice to ask...
Marion PMarch 18, 2016Absolutely loved the happy oysters (with the Sea Salt beer!), the scallop risotto and the trout with homemade gnocchis!
Diana ChowJanuary 5, 2016Get the clam fettuccine and beer steamed mussels or clams! They have a delicious selection of raw oysters as well.
Rosemary DorsettApril 14, 2013Amaze date night spot..perfect portion sizes for sharing and leaving room for delicious craft beers all night. Get at least one order of crabcakes.
Holy shit this place is perfect. The best oysters, perfect wines, and the fettuccine with clams is actually heaven.
Courtney WMay 26, 2013Amazingly fresh, delicious seafood paired with craft beer. The staff was friendly and attentive, and every minute here was a delight. We will be back!
Great happy hour. Six oysters and craft beer for USD 12. Used to be quiet, now it is always packed. Good for the owners, annoying for me. . .
Melissa RosenthalFebruary 16, 2015This place is the best!! Do the oyster happy hour and try the uni platter.
Like a well curated museum, you can't go wrong with the beers, oysters or dinner specials. The whiskey cake and exceptional service are bonuses.
Alissa WinberryMarch 18, 2014Oyster happy hour, crab cakes, salmon tartar and of course the fettuccine! Yum
DishEnvyOctober 2, 2012The beer and oyster selection is great as the name implies, but make sure to sample the house cured salmon. It's quite possibly the city's best!
Virginie HalpinJanuary 2, 2015Oysters are so fresh. Shucked in order! 6 special oysters + a beer $12. Excellent experience at the bar with the bartender.
Alexis DorenterAugust 11, 2012Oysters were delicious and definitely splurge on the whiskey cake for dessert. The staff is delightful which makes for a great dining experience!
Steven GantmanApril 30, 2015Great oysters and seafood- come between 5 and 6 on weekdays for $12 beer and 6 oysters very fresh
Brook ShelleyJune 4, 2015Got a dozen by picking through the list 2 at a time. Was blown away by the variety and quality of these oysters. Try their bespoke hot sauce, and be nice to the staff - they rule.- Rachael BrungardAugust 19, 2013To guarantee yourself a table for dinner, I recommend going there at around 4:50pm (they open at 5:00pm) and waiting 10 minutes. Grab an oyster-beer special. Nothing here is ever frozen, all fresh!
Jason SchulweisJuly 29, 2018Get in line a little early before the 5p start of oyster/beer happy hour! No west coast oysters on the happy hour menu btw
Samantha TJune 25, 2017Upstate: please take unsustainable items off your menu! Serving endangered mako sharks is irresponsible and cruel to both the ocean (you're killing the planet) and your customers (mercury poisoning)
Jack GashiJanuary 15, 2015Oysters are on point, but you already knew that. Cheese and charcuterie - that's what you need to know.
Best, freshest oysters in NYC. 20+ varieties a night. And they are really nice.
Julius TarngNovember 27, 2014Bring a friend who knows about oysters bc if you don't you're about to be real stressed. Also not a full meal - come before one.
Oysters, happy hour, anything seafood is super fresh, beer and wine, basically the whole menu
Lisa ParavanoOctober 21, 2013love everything about this place - the vibe, the food, the quality, the menu, the staff... a rare gem in the east village.
Esin EsmerokSeptember 3, 2017Awesome beers and oysters ❤️ between 5-7 there is happy hour, definitely you should check out.
AdrienApril 30, 2015Don't forget the homemade whisky cake at the end of your meal if you seat at the bar ;)
Jessica T.June 22, 2014Sit by the bar around closing time and get free whiskey cake... extra oysters and Rose too if you're lucky.
BollareNovember 27, 2012East village gem – lovely place to sit, eat oysters, and drink wine or beer before a fun night out on the east side. –Kassidy
Public House WineAugust 19, 20145 PM to 7 PM you can consume 6 quality oysters and a local craft brew for $12. You. Are. Welcome.
Matthew TaubMarch 10, 2020Awesome seafood at unbelievably affordable prices. Probably one of the best places in NYC.
Tim DengSeptember 8, 2018The happy hour at this place is great. $15 for 6 oysters & a beer. Every day!
Dana DlugaczSeptember 12, 2014Oyster happy hour was great. Salmon and tuna Civiche was also very good as was the clam dinner.
Jordan BeanJanuary 13, 2017Amazing, select entrees + great beer/wine selection + cozy/chill atmosphere = win/win/win- Zayed KhanAugust 29, 2014If your friend can't taste the considerable amount of whiskey in the whiskey cake, he/she may have a drinking problem.
Matthew HartsoughApril 19, 2016Happy hour special can't be beat. For a non oyster lover, they made me like it!
Ece CNovember 10, 2015nice and fresh seafood menu. no fried food. whiskey cake was a delicious surprise.
Theresa WongAugust 31, 2014Oysters are wonderful. Scallops were stupendous. Such astoundingly good food we will be back.
