Known mostly for its extensive draft beer selection, this longtime Riverbend college decompression zone and sports hangout also serves up well-sized sweet Louisiana oysters. On Tuesdays, Cooter Brown’s has half price oysters from 3 p.m until closing. Plus, there are plenty of TV screens to catch whatever game is on.

The new seafood-oriented restaurant from the chef/owners of Marjie’s Grill doesn’t disappoint when it comes to oyster happy hour — the Buck a Shuck happy hour, as the name would imply, serves up $1 oysters, along with $5 bar snacks, $6 cocktails, and $5 glasses of wine. Running daily from 4 to 6 p.m., it’s best enjoyed on the funky patio or courtyard out front.

Parlay’s is back in Lakeview, and so are the neighborhood pub’s raw oyster specials — slurp P&J oysters for $8 a dozen, Monday through Saturday, from 3 to 7 p.m.

This friendly Mid-City spot is run with plenty of Clesi family pride, and it shows in the quality of seafood on the plate. Raw oysters are always on the menu at Clesi’s Seafood but come on a Wednesday and those bivalve beauties are a bargain at $.25 with the purchase of a beer bucket or a bottle of wine.

Popular among tourists for its prime corner location on St. Charles Avenue, the locals know that this sprawling spot is anchored by its marble oyster bar. They also know that the heart of that oyster bar is the stellar daily happy hour, which brings $1 oysters to the table from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., daily. Along with that comes deals on house wine, draft beer, and large frozen drinks for the price of a small, including the favorite frozen French 75.

Unlike most spots on this list, and in New Orleans broadly, Seaworthy sources oysters from beyond the Gulf, including denser, brinier varieties from the East and West coasts. The famed oyster happy hour runs daily, from 4 to 6 p.m. Slurp select oysters for half off, and choose from wine, cocktails, and beer and shot combos.

Along with expert, delicious preparations of vegetables and seafood, downtown’s new Le Chat Noir also boasts a strong drinks and wine program — and an oyster happy hour to go along with it. From 2:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, the upscale-casual restaurant from the owner of Bearcat is offering a special shucker’s selection of oysters on the half shell along with deals on a daily punch, beer, and glasses of wine. This is without a doubt the best new spot for oysters in town.

Luke, the lovely brasserie located in the downtown Hilton hotel, has long been known for its fresh raw seafood — including being one of few spots in town to splurge on a seafood tower. No need to splurge at happy hour, however — the restaurant’s beloved special offers $1 oysters on the half shell from 3 to 6 p.m. daily, as well as half-priced cocktails, wine by the glass, and draft beer.

At Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar on Constance Street, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the vast oyster selection, which includes varieties from the Gulf, West Coast, and East Coast. The choice is easier on Wednesdays, when select oysters (for instance Murder Points, Grand Battures, or a mix of the shucker’s selection) are half off from open to close, 5 to 10 p.m.

Buck a shuck at the Four Seasons? Yes indeed, during Oyster Hour at Chemin à la Mer, Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. Enjoy river views on the terrace or belly up to the bar for $1 select oysters paired with a $10 glass of wine selected by Chemin’s sommelier, Emily Kitzmiller.
