The Steamhouse Lounge

"Oysters are the main attraction on the menu at Steamhouse Lounge, but don’t skip the lobster roll served on a poppy seed bun. The best seats in the house are found on the second-story patio in front the restaurant flanking West Peachtree Street." - Eater Staff, Henna Bakshi

"Festival offering raw, roasted, and stewed oysters, oyster sliders, gumbo, bloody Maria shooters with mezcal, and unlimited beer, wine, and cocktails." - Henna Bakshi

"Every inch of available wall space at this multilevel Midtown seafood institution has bits and baubles you’d find at a flea market (old license plates, random black and white photos, large fish statues etc.). The pub charm makes cracking a pile of crab legs all the more appealing. Delicious fried seafood baskets, an unmissable lobster bisque, and low-salinity oysters are their seafood triple threat. But what really keeps us coming back is the massive patio and small-town atmosphere we seldom find in the busy city center. Regulars who’ve been coming here for decades swap stories with their favorite bartenders, while first-timers join the club with a sip of a fruity Goombay Smash. " - nina reeder, juli horsford

"Every inch of available wall space at this multilevel Midtown seafood institution has bits and baubles you’d find at a flea market (old license plates, random black and white photos, large fish statues etc.). The neighborhood pub charm makes cracking a pile of crab legs all the more appealing. But before the main course, it’s essential to get the hearty lobster bisque. The creamy bisque with massive chunks of lobster outshines all other bisques in the city—in price and taste. We prefer to be outside on their massive patio or balcony where we can sip a Goombay Smash, slurp oysters, and turn strangers from nearby tables into friends. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman" - Juli Horsford

"While oysters are a attraction on the menu here, Steamhouse Lounge in Midtown offers bivalve deals on Wednesdays. Get a dozen raw oysters for $15 or a half-dozen chargrilled oysters for $10." - Beth McKibben
