The best cocktails in Brooklyn. Amazing vibe for a date. $1 oyster happy hour . Get the absinthe colada or the Maison Jungle Bird with blackstrap rum . Or, just do a bartender's choice -- always great.

First We Feast

If you're not in the mood to splurge on an extravagant tower, there’s a dollar-an-oyster happy hour that runs Monday through Friday from 4-7pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 11am-1pm. Read more

Oyster happy hour on weekdays until 4-7pm must be one of the best in town . Huge selection of fantastic oysters priced $1.25-1.50. Cocktails here are also great.

Cole Kennedy

Clearly, this is the best date spot in town . The oyster selection is marvelous, and the vibe is swanky and confident. I skipped the absinthe drip, but the absinthe cocktails are wonderful.

Eater

After a sturdy night of drinking in Williamsburg, this New Orleans-themed restaurant and cocktail bar is where you go for more drinking – and oystering as they are served until 1 a.m on weeknights. Read more

Got a tip about this place from local Williamsburgers we met on the street. And it was top notch. Very popular 20s/30s style oyster bar with beautiful people and beer from a maison jar. Tres chic !

annlou

Best oysters I've ever had in my life. So fresh and tasty. Go for the happy hour and enjoy your oysters for less. I also had a cocktail to match the oysters . Very good bartender .

Crème de menthe and Mansinthe — a Swiss absinthe with minty elements — round out Maison Premiere's unblended Maison Absinthe Colada . Read more

Kate Furman

Come early for oyster happy hour . Lines start at 3:45. The absinthe drinks are delicious and they have a wide variety of oysters available for HH. Skip the uni tho.

Jazmine Hooisthis

Absinthe base drinks(TALENTED MIXOLOGIST ), amazing backyard , vintage vibes. Had our wedding here and it was the perfect vibe, from the decor ,to the waitresses , + the music . Check out their happy hour

Epicurious

With nearly 200 bottle selections, Maison Premiere has a larger wine list than many restaurants . Guests can score the type of geek-out-able wines that fill the dreams of sommeliers around town . Read more

Maria Riabtchenko

Great vibes in this bar/lounge/resto with an amazing raw selection. Grab a raw seafood platter and don't forget the beef tartar , one of the best ????

Daria Tryashina

favourite place in Williamsburg. Cocktails are magical, food is delicious - not only oysters , but go for mains (Hake ), crudo (salmon ) and appetizers (octopus !). The waiters and barmen are the best!

Ashley Chan

Adorable outdoor seating area and special cocktails . Be prepared for a long wait & reluctant service. Def go for the dollar oyster happy hour - otherwise, the meal is definitely on the pricey side.

The Corcoran Group

Take your date on a romantic journey to Paris and New Orleans at this stellar bar . Sip on Absinthe from their fountain while dining on Oysters .

Meg Farmer

Cannot beat this place during Sunday oyster happy hour . Great variety of east & west coast oysters , all were really large (no skimping here). Love sitting at the bar & taking in the scene.

Serious Eats

All the classics, from one of the best Hurricanes in the North to a modernized, cilantro-infused St. Regis Fizz, are available along with an impressive list of over two dozen absinthes by the drip.

Village Voice

Walcott Express; This mint-infused cocktail doubles down on freshness with Sapin 55. Reining in this earthy foundation are tart overtones of lime cordial and the lush, lingering sweep of Germain-Robin Read more

Russell Sinclair

The drinks list is 4 times the size of the menu. If you like absinthe , come here for drip or cocktails . Dollar oysters during happy hour also a winner.

Susan C.

My fave place to take visitors. A beautiful cocktail den in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that’s a throwback to the 19th century. They have an amazing oyster happy hour and table side martini service for 2.

Jonathan R

One of the best cocktail bars in NYC! Amazing bartenders , fantastic cocktail menu , so many delicious options! And the oysters are top notch.

Jesse Bagels

Really outstanding menu. I got the winter salad , warm scallops , and the lobster roll - all were great. Started with oysters and bread (I recommend the East Beach Blonde!) Try their stout too.

Kevin Skobac

hard to get a seat but leave your number & find a drink somewhere else first. Then return for very knowledgeable bar tenders, expertly made cocktails , and delicious oysters , all in a relaxed setting.

Rebecca Yi

Great oyster happy hour . Make sure to make reservations or get here early! Tried an absinthe drip for the first time and the taste wasn't for me. Would go for an absinthe cocktail instead!

Nabil

The attention to detail makes you travel through time and georgraphy, to 19th century Louisiana. An excellent experience for eyes and mouths????????

Josephine Son

My happy place! Best oyster happy hour in NYC and the cocktails are all divine. You'll feel like you're transported to NOLA...love that feeling!

Fati Hussain

Hands down the best oysters I've had in NY. They have a happy hour from 4-7 Monday-Friday on their entire oyster selection . People literally camp out a good 30 minutes before to get in.

Anthony Rogers

Heaven! Can't wait to return. I love my oysters less than $1.50 and my drinks made with eye droppers. This place has the loveliest garden area in the back. Top notch!

Jen Shin

go for the weekend oyster happy hour . and don't forget to try their absinthe cocktails ! loved the maison absinthe colada .

Eitan Lidergot

The oyster happy hour has a good selection. Gets busy fast. Not as awesome as it used to be. Took forever to get a table even at 4:30 pm on a Tuesday. Also took 10 minutes before they got us our 2 bee

The drinks are outstanding; the cocktails are expertly crafted and absolutely delicious. Each of the selection of oysters they serve are quality. Read more

Simran Jaising

romantic . aphrodisiac. milky absinthe--the st. george is flavorful yet not overpowering. try to steal a seat at the oyster bar and watch the pros shuck and sniff 100s of oysters/minute.

Peter R

Incredible cocktails . And re the oysters , unless you know the difference between a dozen types, ask the staff what a nice selection would be.

Kevin V

Fresh and prime quality seafood at dinner time! Had 3x dozens of excellent oysters . The cocktails are impressive but go for the well curated list of white wines .

Dina

A MUST. Heaven for oysters and absinthe lovers. Beautiful, vintage looking space. About 20 kinds of oysters , $1 options Mon-Thurs, 4-7pm. Great cocktails . A nice (expensive ) menu of small plates .

Marc Schneeberger

Oyesters on happy hour is a great value and the truffle cauliflower toast is amazing. Beautiful terrace and atmosphere :)

Andrew Landry

The cocktails here are insane. The Snakebite is insane and their Moscow Mule is the best I've had anywhere and is served in a copper mug.

Inspired by vintage hotel lobbies and French cafes , this Brooklyn cocktail mecca also happens to house New York City 's largest absinthe collection. Read more

If you're in Bedford you should try this place. Delicious cocktails & good place for late night . And different kind of oysters yummy!

Adam May

Oysters have gotten so popular that places are getting away with serving complete garbage as long as they are cheap . This is not one of them, best oysters in the city .

Lutz L

Great for a start into the weekend. Great oyster selection and top notch cocktails . If you are not so much into oysters don't worry, the great staff guides you through.

Jen

Don't be a doofus and try the absinthe menu! Go for the Imperial Opal! It is like a giant fancy absinthe slushie and you've never seen anything like it. Fantastic. Love Tenneyson absinthe !

Andrew Ross

Oysters and clams are great. Cocktails are also good, if a little precious in some cases. If you do eat here, avoid Brendan the server--he speaks far too quickly and comes off as smarmy.

Ece C

It's a corner from New Orleans in Brooklyn. Absinthe cocktails and oysters are making a good couple, try to get there during the happy hour . Love this place.

PUNCH

Maison Premiere is equal parts Belle Epoque Paris and old French Quarter NOLA. In addition to an oyster bar , Maison offers absinthe cocktails , juleps, and a well-curated wine list . Read more

Erik Diehl

Fantastic Drinks, Super Hipster , Great 20's Era Vibe that the Staff Obviously Has Respect for, Get the Creole Cocktail , Oysters looked good but we got there too late, Wear your Mustache

Mike McBryan

Always packed but worth the wait (or make a rex on OpenTable). The bar most others in Williamsburg try to copy, but they do it without any pretentious and the drinks live up to the hype.

Tasting Table

The feel of an old New Orleans bar and one of the finest oyster selections in town—over 30 varieties ($2.50 to 3.25), and the staff is committed to fast and careful shucking at the elegant bar . Read more

Maya Jimenez ????

Though the staff may seem pretentious and intimidating, they're very friendly and knowledgeable - ask them anything! The $1 oyster happy hour is a great way to feel classy .

Kinjil Mathur

No line on Thursdays for the oyster happy hour . On Fridays, the line starts at 3ish. For vegetarians , the fresh bread plate is satisfying and worth the $4 for the butter alone.
