Oysters, lobster rolls, crudo, and a large patio
"The Deal: Half-price burgers and martinis, 50 cents off oysters, $5 oyster shooter With a patio practically built for pre-gaming, Clark’s Oyster Bar in Montrose has a concise happy hour of martinis and oysters, because, well, what else do you need? With a wide selection of raw oysters and a loose definition of martinis (the menu includes Manhattan and a Martinez cocktail), leaving the office early to hit up Clark’s makes a few extra emails the next morning worth it." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The two-part covered patio at this lauded Austin-born seafood restaurant screams spring. Settle in at one of its outdoor tables with dishes like its wedge salad and signature sourdough, followed by a buttery lobster roll or plate of comforting linguine and clams." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Austin import Clark’s Oyster Bar screams coastal, as though a chic, sweater-clad clambake could break out at any moment. It also has a patio built for cruise-ship-level lounging. Folks cram into Clark’s for crisp east and rare-to-find west coast oysters, overstuffed $40 lobster rolls, and lime-doused red snapper ceviche. Dinner can get expensive quickly, but Happy Hour offers 50-cent-per-oyster discounts and $1 house martinis, making it a great spot for a Montrose evening pre-game." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The answer to the Shakespearian mystery of, “What’s in a name?” is easily answered at Clark’s: an oyster bar. This Austin-import-turned-Montrose-resident offers up a long list of Gulf, East, and even West coast oysters with a classic mignonette and cocktail sauce topped with a real primo ingredient: freshly shaved horseradish. Nine out of ten oyster enthusiasts agree that fresh horseradish trumps any other kind (this is not a legitimate poll), and Clark’s aims to please. Slug down some shucked shellfish on the massive patio or take down a couple dozen for the 50-cent-per-oyster discount during Happy Hour. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"One of Austin’s favorite seafood hangouts brought its allure and solid oyster preparations to Houston. Explore its raw oyster offerings — 10 types from six different regions served with classic accompaniments — for $4 each, or opt for its oven-roasted Gulf oysters, topped with bechamel, spinach, bacon, and sourdough bread crumbs. Happy hour from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays yields 50 cents of oysters, $5 oyster shooters, and half-priced burgers and martinis for a well-rounded meal." - Brittany Britto Garley
