"Straddling the edge of Old Town since the early 1900s, Dan and Louis Oyster Bar is exactly what it says on the sign: a place to eat Pacific oysters in every form imaginable—on the half shell, bobbing in creamy stew, or as a briny shooter. The walls are packed with sepia-toned family photos, maritime paintings, and enough nautical knick-knacks to make you feel like the Gorton's fisherman. Grab a stool at one of the weathered bars, order a dozen oysters and a pale ale from Buoy Beer Co., and soak up a little Portland history with every slurp." - Krista Garcia
