We sat at the bar and got to enjoy the happy hour menu which was nice. My fiancé said the oysters were fantastic. Brent was the bartender and he was absolutely fantastic! Shuckers is a great upscale bar with great food and cocktails! Will definitely be back when we’re in town.

Great small cocktails. Good food with flavours a little unusual for me, so enjoyable. The steak is OK, but rather go for the pork belly if you’re in the mood for meat.
