"Bar Crudo pulls double duty as both a great place to get seafood and a bar ideal for casual dates of all kinds. We usually come here for the oysters and marinated mussels, as well as their incredible smoky seafood chowder that’s full of shrimp, squid, different types of fish, mussels, and bacon. Bar Crudo’s phenomenal seafood happy hour (5-6:30pm) also never fails to draw us in with $2 oysters, $6 beers, and $9 wine when we’re not trying to blow out our bank account." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
