"Oysters and absinthe rule at this popular Williamsburg bar and restaurant." Full review

"Absinthe and oysters are the draw at this immaculately-executed, old world charmer from La Barricou’s Joshua Boissy." Full review

"At every level, and at almost any time of the day, we love the simplicity of the raw bar. We like to see oysters, always, but we know how to enjoy the hell out humbler seafood, like mussels or whelks." Full review

" It’s still an adult fun house of raw seafood and absinthe, but it’s added other elements as well. There’s now a full menu of cooked food, a sleeper brunch situation, and an amazing patio out back." Full review

"Recently, a small hand-painted sign—“Bar/Oysters”—appeared above a weathered verdigris door in Williamsburg, discreetly marking the arrival of a French Quarter-inspired speakeasy." Full review

"The tight room is astonishingly loud, verging on raucous, but still the waiters murmur, hands behind their backs." Full review

"This ultra-retro tavern may feel dark and old-timey, like a watering hole where the Founding Fathers would have stopped for fortification before fending off the British." Full review

"This old-fashioned oyster bar serves Creole-inspired dishes and is furnished with an absinthe fountain, reminiscent of turn-of-the-last-century New Orleans. D (nightly). " Full review

"First impression? The little round marble bar and a whiff of New Orleanian dishabille catch your attention first" Full review
