List of oyster bars

Oyster Bar in New York City, 2006

This is a list of oyster bars. An oyster bar is a restaurant specializing in serving oysters, or a section of a restaurant which serves oysters buffet-style. In France, the oyster bar is known as bar à huîtres.^[1] Oysters have been consumed since ancient times and were common tavern food in Europe, but the oyster bar as a distinct restaurant began making an appearance in the 1700s. Oyster bars usually strive to offer only the freshest, tastiest oysters available.
