As the name would indicate, we love to come here for amazing oysters (especially when they're only $1 during happy hour ). Zach Braff is a part owner here, so never know when he may stop by!
Got the baby grand platter, loved the barcat west coast oysters , not the kusshi & crudo yelowtail is delish! got a free side for checking in, seared asparagus needs flavor.. but i love the mermaid inn
$1 oysters , littleneck clams for happy hour , usually ones with a crisp finish. FYI the happy hour is all night on Mondays. They also have tender steak (get it rare) and my fav lobster roll .
From 5-7pm Tuesday through Thursday, 4-7pm Friday to Saturday and all night Monday, this bar serves thick and spicy $7 Mermaid Marys doused with Old Bay that pair perfectly with $1 Oysters . Read more
Go for happy hour ! The Hot&Dirty is excellent, as are the oysters ! And every meal is made better by the chocolate pudding you get with your check.
You can't beat their happy hour ! It's the perfect place to bring a few friends and enjoy life, before wandering around Washington Square Park . It's impossible to not leave their feeling happier!
One and a half hours of Happy. Their Long Island $1 Oysters are hugely popularly. Also loved the clam chowder . Reasonable portions for the price paid & attentive + polite servers. I am a happy camper!
Can't go wrong with anything here, but three must-haves: happy hour oysters ($1!), the yellowfin tuna crudo (flavor bomb), and the lobster & corn fritters (yowza).
Hands down favorite oyster place in the city . Daily $1 happy hour is usually the Barcat which I recommend you pair with the fried calamari , old bay fries , and happy hour white wine .
Everyone comes here for the Happy Hour . You'll likely have a significant wait if you come anytime after 5:30. But you'll love it here, that's almost guaranteed (by me, anyways!).
Happy Hour Oysters ! Loved the "Washburns", sweet, salty, crisp, light, yet full of flavor, my favorite oyster there. The Charred Octopus was also delicious ???? ????????
1st time at this location, I love this company. No kids menu at this location so ordered off the sides. Best oyster happy hour in city . Quality of oysters and food is amazing!
One of my favorite places to get oysters . They always have about 12 different types and they mix it up pretty regularly (usually half East cost and half West coast). Dirty cheap during happy hour .
Seared calamari with frisée is by far the best salad I have had in ages. I could eat it for days. Absolutely amazing little seafood spot. ???? ???? ????????????????????
Of course, the happy hour . It gets pretty crowded , so get there right when the doors open at 5 pm.
Happy Hour is a fantastic deal. The lobster roll at regular price was not a good deal - skimpy, although tasty (and a TON of delicious fries ). Staff are great.
Delicious oyster happy hour special . Try a dozen mix of east and west coast for $1-$1.75 each. Cocktail happy hour specials are impeccable. Great service as well .
Excellent oysters and fantastic HH hour deals, but lobster hush puppies were the best thing I've eaten in the last week. Try for sure.
Cool informal semi-crowded place for really good Oysters , octopus , tuna tartare , and many others. Very good service . Very reasonably priced.
Eat at the beautiful bar if you can. Lobster roll is gorgeous. Opt for the side of asparagus . Skip the Mermaid Mary and get the Seaside Rendezvous to sip on beforehand.
Best lobster roll in nyc. Tuna taco not my fav. Grapefruit tequila paloma great starter drink. Delish dozen oysters !
All night happy hour on Mondays! The food is delicious - fried oyster slider is a fav - and the pink flamingo cocktail is good too.
$1 barcat oysters all night on Mondays and oyster happy hours , with hot & dirty martinis . The chocolate pudding at the end is always the best part.
Best happy hour in the city . Get great cocktails and $1.25 oysters . Great for a date or to catch up with a friend.
Great daily happy hour & Yelp/Foursquare deals, plus lovely touches such as complimentary multigrain crackers , pudding desserts , and a flappy "fortune fish ." Affordable and nautically charming.
Happy Hour (5-7pm) daily features $1.25 oysters (chef 's choice), $1 clams , and other tasty apps. Drinks are not cheap here though, and be prepared to queue.
The oysters are fresh and delicious, but the rest of the menu is great too. Pickled jalapeño in the fish taco adds some tangy kick!
Do not pass up happy hour 'till 7. It's a great excuse to order oysters by the dozen.
Check out the photos posted here re: oysters and the ppl who love them -- sure to make you smile. Bonus: caption the rando ones that were clearly not taken here.
The happy hour here is incredible. Nothing better after a long day than a giant platter of fresh oysters & an affordable cocktail .

Pro tip: they have a great happy hour every day (even on the weekends). Oysters and sliders are delicious.
Excellent oysters , lobster roll and fish tacos are to die for. You get a free chocolate pudding at the end!!!
Same fare and excellent HH like the EV location, but their Bloody Mary mix has celery salt in it, unlike the EV mix.
I didn't even know there was such a variety of oysters . And all at 1$ during 5-7 happy hour ! Favorite oysters in NYC
Lobster , shrimp , crab and oysters -- the raw is awesome! And don't miss the housemade Blood Mary.
great happy hour with snack specials. the tacos are fantastic, as are the sliders and lobster roll
The Tuesday lobster roll special is a must! Make sure your server brings you your complimentary beer ! Use the Foursquare special for a free side ????.
Chesapeake oysters & crab tostada was delicious. Happy hour Falanghina & bar seating made for a memorable early nibble. Tables open outside after 7.
Do NOT get the Hot&Dirty cocktail on the happy hour menu . It is basically cheap vodka with splashes if hot sauce . House wine is good though. Oysters are fresh, service is friendly .
NY. This place is one of our favorites and not just for the amazing seafood . Must try: the lobster & truffle mac & cheese side dish.
Definitely try the seared calamari salad - smokey grill marks on the squid and mushrooms pair beautifully with the salad and feta .
Great high tops by the street for people watching and of course, lovely oysters and good service
Fantastic! Had one of each oyster , the salmon , and chardonnay . Adorable spot :)
Great spot for a date. Not good for groups . They give you a fun fortune fish and complimentary chocolate mousse !
The most amazing amazing amazing happy hour specials ! The lobster Mac n cheese and the calamari salad are incomparably delicious, and you can't beat $1 oysters !
$1 raw oysters during happy hour were amazing! They were shucked so well ! I would pay more than $1 for them any day!
The happy hour offers an option of $1 East Coast oysters and $1.75 West Coast oysters , along with $1 raw clams .
Happy hour everyday 5-7pm - dollar oysters and clams !
$1 oysters and amazing fried clam/oyster sliders during happy hour
The Scallops are Divine! Served with roasted peaches and chanterelle mushrooms. Exquisite! - Cara Moccia
Best, freshest oysters in NYC. 20 varieties a night. And they are really nice. - Hillary Reinsberg
One of the best oyster places in the city. The staff here clearly cares about their oyster program and takes pride in their selections. Excellent variety as well as small plates. Will be back asap. - Melissa Rosenthal
Beautiful, European style park. Occasional live music and outdoor chess makes it a hit. - Gajtana Simonovska
Great tapas place, feel free to order everything on the menu. Especially the salmon and egg in a blanket! Cucumber sangria is amazing as well. - Jacin Lee
A nice decorated atmosphere. The black label burger lives up to the hype a very unctuous meaty burger. The bone marrow is a great start and don't forget to leave room for dessert. - Justin Ordoveza
