Independent bars and restaurants with oysters specials during happy hour in Austin, TX. 40 venues found.
Buck-a-shuck is one of the best deals in the happy hour world. Venues with raw bar specials drop $24-36/dozen oysters down to $12 or less on the right night. Gulf Coast cities have strong oyster scenes year-round thanks to nearby coastal farms. Tuesday and Thursday are the most common dollar oyster days, typically running 3-6 PM. Some venues cap how many you can order. Others let you go deep. The top-scoring oyster happy hours combine buck-a-shuck pricing with discounted wine, champagne, or cocktails. A few places run "oysters and bubbles" pairings that bring a $60+ experience under $30. Check for day-specific restrictions before showing up — most dollar oyster deals only run one or two nights a week.
