oyster bar

Bivalve serving spot

An oyster bar is a restaurant or section of a restaurant specializing in raw oysters served on the half shell, often alongside other seafood.

The bar typically features a counter where patrons watch shuckers open oysters to order: We grabbed seats at the oyster bar and ordered a dozen on ice.
