• Oyster bar • East Village

Upstate Craft Beer & Oyster Bar puts what it does right in its name. This is a place custom designed for fans of local small-batch brews and a well-stocked raw bar. The inside of the restaurant is as cozy and comfortable as one would expect, as it is a relaxed atmosphere similar to a sports bar in the off-season. One of the keys to Upstate's success is its commitment to freshness. So much so that there isn't even a freezer in the building as everything is brought in fresh daily.Obviously, the oysters and clams are what most patrons come for, and Upstate's selection of west and east coast varieties changes every day, depending on what is available. That's certainly not the only thing on the menu, though. Guests can try out shared plates of house cured salmon, crab cakes, squid salad and even sea urchin.

The Charboiled oysters are a favorite! They are so so good. The bread was also delicious. The shrimp loaf is a must. The crab dip is so so and the bbq shrimp is pretty good, I’ve had better. The staff was amazing, our waiter was amazing I believe his name was Paul.

Overall an awesome experience - the food was great, the waitress was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was wonderful. It was a nice restaurant and people were there, but it was not overly packed like some others can be. We will definitely be going back because there are so many more things we want to try.

Celebrated our 65 wedding anniversary. Have eaten here before. Staff was so kind. Treated us to a glass of champagne. Helped us choose what to order. Shared razor clams, clam chowder, clams and shrimp. All very good. A surprise cheesecake ended our lunch. Would highly recommend.
