Description

For eaters who fancy themselves above the tourist fray, Elliott's Oyster House's enviable waterfront location, location, location are the three biggest problems afflicting the seafood institution. Prospective diners have to navigate through a scrum of pleasure-boat ticket holders just to reach the front door, but serious bivalve lovers shouldn't be deterred. While the kitchen's uninspired fare is sadly compatible with the soft jazz soundtrack, the oyster selection -- and happy hour pricing -- is outstanding. And, when the tourists get out of the way, so's the view.

2010 | Best Oyster Happy Hour

Best to belly up to the bar early at Elliott's Oyster House for the best deal on the half-shell. At 3 p.m. each weekday, a featured bivalve from Elliott's spectacular selection goes for 50 cents. The price rises 50 cents every half hour after that until happy hour's over at 6. Just like a crack dealer wanting to get you hooked, Elliott's also offers the first oyster free to anyone who has never slurped one. --Leslie Kelly 1201 Alaskan Way, 623-4340 More »

Looking part rec room and part wooden boat, the back bar at Elliott's showcases over two dozen varieties of oysters. The service is unfailingly friendly, and the absurd cheapness of the progressive oyster happy hour, with oysters... More »
