Best oyster happy hours
Fritz Hahn | Updated 04/06/2012
Sweet, briny and fun to eat, these shimmering beauties are more seductive appetizers than, say, chicken wings. No matter your tastes, these raw bar happy hours deliver.
Oyster Happy Hour
Washington, DC
If there's another place where you can start your night with a dozen oysters and a Rob Roy before heading upstairs for grooving to a DJ and watching old movies, well, I haven't heard of it. But that's what awaits most nights at Blackbyrd Warehouse. Happy hour, with selected $1 oysters, lasts from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Oysters and other raw bar items are half-price every night from 11 p.m. to midnight at the breezy Hank's Oyster Bar and Lounge in Dupont Circle.
Raw Bar Happy Hour
Washington, DC | Daily
Senart's daily Raw Bar Happy Hour -- offered from 4 to 6 p.m. and again from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. -- includes fresh oysters at $12 a dozen (instead of the usual $24) and a dozen cherry stone clams for $10.
Oyster Happy Hour
Washington, DC
At Old Ebbitt's legendary late-night raw bar happy hour, which runs from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, everything is half-price, whether you want a couple of oysters or the full-blown Orca Platter: a one-pound lobster, a dozen crab claws, a dozen oysters, a dozen clams and a dozen shrimp.
Happy Hour at Black's Bar and Kitchen
Bethesda, MD | Monday-Friday
The crowd at happy hour at Black's is a little older than at some other Bethesda bars, and the deals are a little more refined: From 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays, the raw bar offers $1 Chesapeake Bay oysters, 50-cent spiced shrimp and large $6.50 bowls of mussels. Wash them down with $5 glasses of wine, $6 martinis and cosmos, and $3.75 draft beers.
