White Oak Oyster Bar & Lounge

White Oak Oyster Bar in Hell’s Kitchen is known for its raw bar. The selection of oysters from both coasts changes seasonally, and the bar’s all day happy hour menu always includes $1 Bluepoint oysters. That’s not the only thing on the menu, though. The Maryland crab cakes, buttermilk-battered Asian rock shrimp or house “dirty chips” topped with pulled pork, barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese would be perfect for sharing with friends. Want to keep you meal all to yourself? Order the classic burger with cheddar and candied bacon or the flatbread topped with speck, arugula, fig preserves, ricotta and honey. Of course, you’ll need a few drinks to wash all of that down. In addition to a selection of wines and craft beers, White Oak also offers a few signature cocktails, like the Blackberries and Smoke, with pisco, single malt whiskey and pomegranate juice, and the Summer in the Winter, with mezcal, basil, cucumber juice and fresh lemon.
