oyster bars
Bivalve serving spots
Oyster bars are restaurants or sections of restaurants specializing in raw oysters, typically served on the half shell at a counter where patrons can watch shuckers work.
The atmosphere tends toward casual elegance, with oysters displayed on ice and often accompanied by mignonette, cocktail sauce, or lemon.
We grabbed seats at the oyster bar and ordered a dozen.
