They have $1 oysters and $4 bubbly on Wednesday nights. Most romantic (and economical) Wednesdays ever!

Oysters = love, and I love the oysters at Hog Island. It's the next best thing to sitting at their outpost in Marshall and shuckin' those badboys yourself. The grilled cheese sandwich makes for a great addition to a dozen of their fine oysters. And you can enjoy it all while basking in the glory of our beautiful Bay.

At your finger tips, add BBQ, the fact that you can bring whatever you want.. no charge & they offer champagne...
Fresh, $1 oysters, Tuesdays and Thursdays
Unbeatable, fresh, delicious oysters, which is why there is usually a huge crowd outside waiting for one of the (fewer than 10?) tables. Now, the best way to get oysters is really drive up to Tomales Bay and have them fish 'em out of the water for you, but for some reason I couldn't put that on my list here.

Although it doesn't have the draw of a dollar oyster night, this Castro institution has been "shucking for 34 years" for a reason.

Mongol General: WRONG! Conan, what is best in life?
Conan: Getting a $4.00 oyster for $1 at Waterbar's Happy Hour, drinking a delicious $5 cocktail special, overlooking the supreme views of the Bay Bridge, feeling classy as shit.
Mongol General: GOOD! That is good.

What's there to say? These oysters are delicious and local. So much the better! Head down to the Embarcadero and park yourself around 10:00am for some fresh Hog Island oysters. You won't regret it!

Unfortunately many purveyors of dollar oysters have upped their prices, and offer offensively subpar mollusks hardly worth your buck. How dare they. Nevermind, come here, they have the best happy hour oysters and the wait staff wont even bat an eye at how, erm, fiscally responsible you are.

Come here for a true San Francisco experience- the Sancimino family, (owner's since 1946) will shuck hundreds of the the freshest oysters right before your eyes. Be prepared to wait as there are only 19 bar seats! Enjoy!

It's no coincidence that the oldest restaurant in SF is home to the best oysters in the city, they got dibs. Tadich Grill is exemplary in all things seafood, and should be emulated by their competitors competitors.
Anchor & Hope has the best $1 Oyster Happy Hour ever! Succulent Sweetwaters when I went! Suu Fat Seafood Co in the Mission is great if you wanna shuck 'em at home. Always fresh and inexpensive.
Woodhouse Fish Company - $1 on Tuesdays at the Fillmore location!

Waterfront Restaurant and Cafe has an awesome oyster happy hour and a bar with one of the best views in SF. You can get 4 oysters for 5 bucks and they are out of this world. I ordered mine baked with some kind of cheese on top. They were delicious!
McCormick & Kuleto's boasts a "famous" happy hour complemented by a view and a stacked menu. Wonder whose view is better?

On a sunny Weekend afternoon, nothing is better than an outdoor table at Hog Island Oysters at the Ferry Building, a bottle of bubbly and a variety of their freshly shucked oysters as well as the baked varieties. The Harrissa baked oysters are especially good but I also like the casino style baked oysters.
I also have heard Hog and rocks is a great spot, although I have not yet had the pleasure.

Fish and farm also has a great oyster appetizer with Miyagi's and Pearl points shucked fresh to order and they offer $3 oyster shooters on their happy hour menu. The really awesome thing is Happy Hour is from 4-6 and then late night happy hour starts at 9 pm.
