Mermaid Oyster Bar

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


If you're craving a plate of oysters and don't mind a crowd, head to this West Village favorite. Happy hour is until 7pm daily (all night Monday) when you'll find young professionals crammed into the small restaurant unwinding over $8.50 glasses of champagne and $1.25 chef's-choice oysters. Squeeze yourself into a spot at the bar and enjoy.

The small plates during regular dining hours are also worth coming for. Go with a group and share the escargot-style lobster knuckles and tuna tartare tacos with frisée, radish and cilantro.
