Hank's Oyster Bar

Seafood restaurant · Old Town North

"This is our go-to spot for fresh-as-they-come oysters, lobster rolls, and Old Bay fries—there’s an overarching feeling of never-ending summer, even on a gray winter day. And while the oysters are the real stars of the menu, they also do some larger plates, like shrimp po'boys with cayenne remoulade, a fried chicken sandwich, and a double cheeseburger. Hank’s prides themselves on their local beer selection, and you’ll find a good variety of DC, Maryland, and Virginia brews on tap. The best time to come is during Happy Hour, which draws a loyal crowd thanks to their $2.50 oysters, $6 beers, $7 wines, and five-o’clock-somewhere vibes. " - madeline weinfield
