"Self-proclaimed as “Center City’s best happy hour,” Oyster House hosts happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. with some really great deals. Oysters are only $2 and each day there are specials on bar snacks and drinks. No reservations are needed — just walk in and head to the bar." - Ernest Owens
"When: Tuesday-Friday, 4-6pm (available only at the bar) The Deal: $2 Oysters, $4 Drafts, And $7 Seasonal Punch You’ll probably see half of Center City at Oyster House during Happy Hour since this place has Happy Hour deals ($2 oysters) and a reliable, seafood-focused menu. The lobster roll is also great, in case you decide to stay for dinner after a few glasses of punch." - candis mclean
"Oyster House, one of the city’s best raw bars, is perfect for nearly any occasion. Come for post-work lobster rolls and oysters with a colleague or client. Walk in with a friend or two when you want to chow down on shellfish, split a bottle of wine, and people-watch near the picture windows. Or come with a big group and share the bluefish dip, roasted XO clams, and a couple of the huge lobster rolls. It's a loud and lively scene, and always worth the wait on Sansom Street.

"Shrimp Cobb Salad Whether you’re looking for a flavorful-but-not-too-heavy salad, or just prefer to eat dishes featuring every color of the rainbow, Oyster House’s grilled shrimp cobb salad is the way to go. Mixed greens layer with rows of cherry tomatoes, avocado, hard-boiled egg, delightfully stinky blue cheese, and crispy bacon, and red wine vinaigrette. It’s satisfying on its own, but you should probably get a dozen oysters, too." - candis mclean, alison kessler

Or come with a big group and get the New England-style clambake–buckets of clams, shrimp, lobsters, and corn dripping in garlic chive butter is dumped onto the table for everyone to share, family style.
