Once again this never lets me down. The cocktails are well made, yummy food and great portions too. Lots of fun great for /, 4 or more to have a forest time. Also great if u want to be alone.

Happy hour prices have increased a bit compared to 2014: drinks for $5 and oysters for $1.25/each. Anyway, oysters are more than awesome, and Chesapeake are the best here!

Really nice bar with many adventurous cocktails . If you are looking forward to try some new tastes in your cocktail a great place to hit up! Fun place to hangout with friends.

Great atmosphere, staff very friendly make you feel that they really care. Food great. Parking a challenge. Expensive. Def will go again. Great 4 a night out with friends or your significant other.

We ate like it was the last supper. Started with a dozen is oysters then ordered another half dozen and also the friend oysters plate - delicious. Delicious broccoli and pea pods came too. Get Nicole

Daily changing menu a bit much to take in but great three course specials, especially for the value. Fresh oysters , barrel aged cocktails , and lobster deviled eggs definitely worth a try

"Hit up The Eddy Bar inside Hank’s Oyster Bar on the Hill , where a glass of crisp Soave ($5) pairs well with $1 oysters (Monday-Thursday, 5-7 p.m. and Friday, 3-7 p.m.)."-via Daily Candy

Yes, this Q Street spot has a Yacht Room. It's where you slide oysters (seriously, D.C., what's with all the subtle aphrodisiacs as of late?) & sip the house-specialty Chuch Lady Punch. Read more

My favorites are the raw oysters from the west coast, the lobster roll with no unnecessary fillers, the decadent Mac & Cheesy, the perfectly cooked scallops and the amazingly friendly staff .

Happy hour from 5 to 7 pm and from 10 pm to midnight features great discounts for raw bar items (oysters , mussels , shrimps ) and a selection of beer and wines .

Apps and small plates here are incredible. Try something unique like the Brussels Sprouts w/ Maple & Pecans !

Tucked into a quiet corner of the busy Dupont Circle neighborhood , Hank's Oyster Bar is a local standby for its fresh seafood and laid-back atmosphere. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Their small seafood platter was perfect for two with two extra sides. If you like bivalves, get another half dozen , the platter only comes with two oysters

Oysters should obviously be the first thing on your to-try list - especially chef Jamie Leeds own varietal of oyster , the Hayden's Reef. Try the lobster rolls , po' boys , and crab cakes too..

Oysters and Sancerre are always a safe combo. And they start you with a bowl of goldfish crackers and end with a few chunks of dark chocolate !

Happy hour until 7PM at the bar and lounge area : $5 wine and daily drink, selection of three $1.25 oysters .

One of my favorite happy hour places in DC. Good drink and food options on happy hour including local oysters !

Wish I had come during oyster happy hour . Otherwise it’s $30 for a dozen.

Have to try the fried oysters , even better than the best of New Orleans! Dribble some hot sauce and squeeze the lemon to top them off. They almost melt in your mouth with a kick!

Lobster Roll was plentiful and was filled with tons if meat! Oysters on the half-shell were delicious...definitely would recommend this place!

I would strongly recommend The oysters from british Columbia and Virginia, in addition to the delicious small grilled octopus , fried oysters and the lobster roll !

The crab cakes were good but really expensive . The Caesar salad had real dressing and the coleslaw was pretty great. For $29 plus tax, I'm not sure they were worth it.

Best oysters in town . Easy , fun atmosphere .

Went last night. Oysters , fried clams abd the soft shell crabs . All were excellent. If you live in the area and haven't been, you are missing out.

It’s an amazing seafood restaurant , but Don’t sleep on the burger .

$1 oysters at happy hour , what more do you want?

Well get the oysters of course…comes with a cute side of oyster crackers !

Super fun and clean place with cute decor and deliciously fresh oysters . Must go!

Antonio Burrell, chef of Agua 301, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Hog Island barbecued oysters . Read more

They won't seat you till your party has arrived, which is dumb. So tell them you're alone but may have a few friends join you.

Got raw and fried oysters , lobster roll , steamed mussels & mac and cheese . Everything was awesome, my boyfriend (an avid oyster hater) has officially changed his mind.

Great seafood . Try to go for happy hour for oysters . Crowded & parking sucks. ????

Marvelous! Outstanding dishes, and great variety of oysters

Great fresh oysters . Grilled sablefish is a must. Amazing!

Great place for late night oysters . No clams . No hot food after 11:00 pm.

Order a plate of half shells from the blackboard. Then, have the bartender pull you anything from Allagash (a brewer in Maine). and suck those little guys down with some horseradish and Tabasco .

Surprisingly quiet place with amazing oysters - the perfect Sunday afternoon spot

Try one of their signature cocktails — the Old Tom and Almonds and Hawaii to Martinique are both excellent!

Great seafood options and (obviously) great oysters !

Oysters for Happy Hour . Perfect! Took a while to get them, but were on the house because. Great service!

House-smoked trout dip not to be missed. And ask about the day's punch.

Very knowledgeable staff . Follow their recommendations.

The cocktails are awesome!

Go upstairs and try Andre's "a lighter perspective" whiskey cocktail . So good!

Amazing oysters . Delicious small plates . Wonderful outside space .

Best oysters ever! Outstanding management & wait staff , with Eric & Matt being 1st rate.

Get the trout dip and go at happy hour for oysters !

Happy Hour 5-7pm, Monday - Friday…$4 drinks and snacks !

Food was excellent! Crab cakes are definitely good as everyone says they are. Love this place!
