Dan & Louis Oyster Bar

"Take a trip to the early days of Portland inside the iconic Dan & Louis Oyster Bar, a bedrock of downtown Portland since 1907. The walls are packed with nautical paraphernalia, and the menu is packed with so-old-it’s-new seafood dishes like Louie salad and oysters Rockefeller. This is no mere novelty magnet for tourists, however — the seafood is fresh, well-sourced, and prepared with confidence. Oyster happy hours are particularly recommended, with amiable bartenders pouring generous drinks alongside cold plates of briny half-shell oysters." - Dianne de Guzman

"North Williams oyster bar Eat is running food and drink specials for Election Night: $10 for a half-dozen oysters, $18 for a dozen oysters, 20 percent off bottles of champagne, and $1 off draft beer and glasses of wine." - Janey Wong

"Since the early 1900s, the Wachsmuth family has run this Ankeny seafood restaurant, selling raw oysters, oyster stew, and shellfish cocktails in a space covered in family photos and antiques. The menu has grown since its early days, now encompassing po’boys, gumbo, steamed mussels, and cioppino, served alongside beers and cocktails from the restaurant’s bar." - Heather Arndt Anderson, Krista Garcia, Rebecca Roland

"Considering this Portland institution has been shucking oysters near the waterfront since 1907, it’s fair to say they know what they’re doing. The family-owned landmark is an ideal spot for sampling oysters, often from Washington state like the sweet and tiny Kumamotos and meaty Hammersleys. Oysters are also available in baked preparations like classic oysters Rockefeller and the oyster stew in a milky broth. As an added bonus, oysters are happy hour-priced all day Mondays." - Krista Garcia
