Pearl Dive Oyster Palace is a buzzing seafood haven on 14th Street, serving up delicious oysters, Cajun comfort food, and vibrant drinks in a casual, beachy setting.
"Pearl Dive's buzzing happy hour is the place to be on Fridays, when deals start one hour early at 3 p.m. (and run 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. the rest of the work week). Score $2 local oysters (minimum of 12), a pound of Addie’s mussels (garlic, shallot, tomato, chicken stock, butter, lemon, and chili flakes) for $12, or chips and queso for $7 an order. Local drafts are $5, wines are $6, and martinis and Old Fashioneds are $8." - Tierney Plumb
"Though it’s all about Southern-inspired fare at Jeff and Barbara Black’s restaurant, with menu items including ricotta beignets, po’ boys and crawfish fritters, latkes are also up for grabs during brunch, and served with apple butter and chive crème fraîche."
"Cajun-leaning Pearl Dive continues to remain relevant over 10 years in, with a devoted fanbase that keeps coming back for gumbo, shrimp and grits, clam chowder, and oysters prepared plenty of ways. Day drinking and brunch are big here, too. Head upstairs for two more dressed-down drinking options (Tilt and Black Jack)." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"Oyster Oyster, serving up a plant-based tasting menu near Logan Circle, joined DC’s one-star Michelin guide last year." - ByLi Goldstein
"Enjoy oysters in royal fashion at Pearl Dive Oyster Palace for $1.40 a pop (12 max per person) during its popular happy hour. Available at the bar only from Monday to Thursday (4 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and Fridays starting an hour earlier at 3 p.m." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
