Raw oyster bar & cocktail hub with daily happy hour specials
"The Atlantic on Pacific is a quick walk from the Boardwalk, and their raw bar is one of the best in town. They have a rotating list of about seven different types of oysters to order, so you can sample mollusks from different regions, including from the nearby Lynnhaven river, as well as shrimp cocktail, raw or steamed clams, and cold water lobster tail. If oysters aren’t your thing, they have a great selection of bar food like Nashville-inspired hot chicken sandwiches and cheddar jalapeño cornbread to go with their excellent cocktails." - anne cruz
"Located just off the boardwalk, The Atlantic on Pacific is a refuge for cocktails and oysters served in a variety of preparations. A riff on classic oysters Rockefeller, Oyster Rock comes loaded with bacon, Parmesan, cream cheese, bread crumbs, and spinach. For a non-seafood option, try snacking on the hummus, root vegetable risotto, or the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It’s worth planning a happy hour visit, too. Specials run daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., including $1 oysters, $6 double griddle burgers, and $2 cans of Narragansett, $3 well drinks, and $5-$8 cocktails." - Travis Mitchell

"Atlantic continues to impress oyster aficionados with bivalves prepared all sorts of ways. A namesake seafood platter ($95) showcases oysters, clams, snow crab clusters, shrimp, and lobster tail. The nautical-styled stalwart also offers caviar and blinis, shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs with salmon pastrami, and a lobster roll." - Adele Chapin
"For happy hour locals know to show up at 3 p.m. sharp for an insanely good daily deal of $1 oysters and clams across six preparations—ranging from a hefty, spicy chorizo version to a richly cheesy take on Rockefeller." - Robey Martin
