Do your eyes light up every time you see oysters on a menu. Mine do. And it’s even better when they are featured on happy hour.
This guide was created to navigate all the deals currently going on at some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. There are just two simple but important requirements to make it on the rundown: 1) oysters need to be under $3 a piece and 2) the quality absolutely has to be on point. Nothing sloppy. Nothing suspicious. Just the best value in town. And that’s what I’ve compiled below.

Rappahannock Oyster Bar (DTLA)
ROW DTLA’s Rappahannock Oyster Bar hosts happy hour Monday through Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. Oysters are $2 a piece and include two types from the Chesapeake Bay, Rappahannock and Olde Salts. Order a mix of both, they taste completely different. Ask for the restaurant’s signature awesome sauce and kimchi mignonette. They make the perfect accompaniment to a plate of ice cold oysters.
