Small, but very good local beer selection on draft . The entrees are delicious, inexpensive and properly portioned. No reservations ; put your name in and grab a drink at a nearby bar . Great oysters .
Neighborhood gem . Awesome rotating beer selection , happy hour from 5-7 on weekdays and incredible oysters . Some of the biggest I've ever eaten! Go immediately. Love the staff too.
Amazing food married with terrific service (at the bar !). Truly a rare combination now a days. Fettuccine is as amazing as all tips note, in addition to the squid salad and cured salmon . Salmon shown.
These guys rock! The bubblegum beer is delicious and only $6 and the food is awesome(scallops!). The whiskey cake at the end is perfect (they also gave us complimentary champagne so...)
Every neighborhood in the world should aspire to hosting a place like this. Friendly service at the bar that’ll make you feel like a regular on your first visit, and a simple but perfect seafood menu .
Upstate has 6 oysters & a beer for $12 on M-F for happy hour . These aren't just Bluepoints, either. Great staff and a solid beer selection . Most importantly, an impressive selection of oysters .
For the quality and price, definitely the best oyster happy hour in the city . Seriously good clam pasta and crab cakes . Whisky cake on the house at the end of every meal.
Best grilled salmon , best scallops , best oysters to be found in the East Village . Killer $12 oysters & beers happy hour too. Nothing on the menu disappoints.
Awesome happy hour . $12 gets you 6 oysters and a craft draft . The dinner dishes looked and smelled incredible. Must go back for dinner . Small spot though so you may need reservations if you're +3.
This place has the best oyster selection I've ever seen. They had 23 different varieties to choose from.
Holy Mary Mother of all that is good in this world, this place is legit. Amazing oysters and happy hour special , killer crab cakes . Everything.
Oyster happy hour is 5:30-7pm on weeknights. Super cozy for a winter date--I recommend the bar to a table if you can snag a seat because you will have constant service from the friendly bartenders .
Yummy Food. Excellent Restaurant for Sea Food Lovers. Service is very helpful and kind. Quality of Food is excellent and mouth watering.This place has best oyster selection I've ever seen. Happy!
I dk if the craft beer is anything to rave about but oysters were great, salty as I like ‘em, and the scallop main was good for substance. The bottles of wine are super cheap and round out the meal.
Best oyster happy hour in the city . $12 for a beer and 6 oysters of your choosing. 5-7 pm. Feel free to ask to taste a few beers if you're on the fence.
Possible largest selection of oysters in NYC--there are often like, 20 kinds a night. But Upstate is also stocked with excellent wines and beers , an amazing pasta , and crazy friendly service .
The clams are as good as the oysters . I don't care about the response, raw seafood deserves French fries and I wish they them, or croquettes ... But I am happy to go back, what is on the menu is good
Get alll the oysters . More east coast than west, in my opinion. Then get the fettuccine with clams . It's like getting an egg mcgriddle on a Saturday morning. I'm going to need to be rolled home to BK.
get there early because it tends to get crowded quickly. the happy hour deal (half dozen oyster and beer ) from 5-7pm is a steal. get the scallop risotto !
Incredible place. Go oyster mad and wash them down with good craft beer . I just wish it opened earlier than 5pm on the weekends.
Visit Upstate on 1st ave for a great happy hour offered everyday from 5-7pm, $12 for 6 oysters and a beer , you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!
If you like seafood , this is your spot! The clams are great, the service is exceptional and the prices are fair . I recommend trying this place is your a seafood enthusiast!
Almost always a long wait , unless you are open to the bar . Just about everything was great - and I'm not a seafood lover. You won't be disappointed.
Worth a visit for their extensive beer selection or hearty seafood . Or both! Friendly servers gave us extras to round out our meal. Definitely going back. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
One of the best oyster happy hour in NYC - $12 for 6 oysters and beer , even on week-ends. Choose from a selection of 3-4 oyster choices and a nice beer list .
Sit at the bar for amazing service. Every night between 5 and 7, $12 will get you half a dozen oysters and a great beer .
Oysters were fantastic, but apps were better than the mains. Snapper is particularly unimpressive. Solid value though. Dinner , drinks, apps, and oysters for five people came to $311.
Great oyster happy hour 5:30-7pm. $12 for 6 oysters and a craft pint (equates to $1 oysters ). Oysters in bold on the menu are eligible for the deal. Seating for groups up to 4.
Amazing oysters and craft beers ! 12 bucks for half dozen oyster+one beer ???? ???? & steamed mussel is a must!
Oysters are the freshest in the city . The Grilled Tuna is also good. They have a great beer selection to choose from.
Awesome service!!! The happy hour is great too and they have some really great beers on tap which are rotated as soon as the tap is finished so make sure you try them all.
This place continues to exceed expectations. Go go go. Get the tuna and whatever crudo is available.
Must try their fantastic oyster selection , the clams , scallops on risotto is excellent. There's a wait so come early and put your name on the list.
$12 oysters and beer is a great deal! food was incredible. try to make it here early enough to be the traditional dinner crowd or else you will have to wait a while
Got a dozen by picking through the list 2 at a time. Was blown away by the variety and quality of these oysters . Try their bespoke hot sauce , and be nice to the staff - they rule.
A small seafood-centric restaurant in East Village , Upstate serves up a compact but tempting menu. Order the Seared Scallop special, and opt for the Crab Cakes if available.
$1 oyster happy hour here is on point. The uni and tartare appetizers were both great.
Everything was delicious! Crab cake and oysters are amazing. Liked the craft beers a lot. Definitely worth trying the whiskey cake at the end.
Start with a ceviche and the crab cakes , then definitely end with the clam fettuccine (trust me) and scallops ! Absolutely wonder.
Fluke ceviche , fettuccine with clams , oysters are fantastic. My favorite happy hour in the EV.
House-cured salmon , clams fettuccine , grilled tuna - all delicious!! 1$ St.Simon oysters outstanding too. A go-to place for sure.
Super fresh oysters , must try the fettuccine with clams and grab a beer with that. Frindly staff will def return!
They text you when your table is ready! Oysters are fresh. Scallops mushroom risotto was SO good. Do that over the clams fettuccini !
Amazingly fresh, delicious seafood paired with craft beer . The staff was friendly and attentive, and every minute here was a delight. We will be back!
Oysters (duh, but let your server guide you!) and an order or two (or three, depending on how many people you're with) of fettuccine with clams and you're good to go.
Upstate: please take unsustainable items off your menu! Serving endangered mako sharks is irresponsible and cruel to both the ocean (you're killing the planet) and your customers (mercury poisoning)
Amaze date night spot ..perfect portion sizes for sharing and leaving room for delicious craft beers all night. Get at least one order of crabcakes .
Holy shit this place is perfect. The best oysters , perfect wines , and the fettuccine with clams is actually heaven.
$1 oysters, lobster roll sliders & fish tacos = perfect happy hour - Jess S
Get the 1/2 lb of lobster and draft beers! The staff are fun and attentive. Energetic, relaxed date night. - Tom Adams
The fried clams and lobster sandwich might be one of the best dishes in the city. Clam spaghetti was very good as well. - Chris Pollone
Just pure awesomeness.. got a Mezcal Old Fashioned and a regular. Both were amazing! Be there early if you want to get in without a wait! - Michael Reibel Boesen
Love this spot. Great introduction to Amaros by very knowledgeable bartenders. Get here early, as Soave is limited. - Candice DSouza
Incredible beer selection. Cool backyard, but it closes early. Try St. Peter's Organic English Ale. - Laura Vitaro
