O-Bar at Oyster House - Oyster bar restaurant in Charleston - 70 State St, USA

We stopped by the Oyster Bar during Happy Hour and enjoyed a very pleasant dining experience with Nailia. We started with a few Fire-Grilled Oysters, a Baja Fish Taco, and a couple of 1/2 priced drinks. Those items were good, but the items from the main menu were definitely better. We shared the Coastal Seafood Trio and ordered an Old Fashioned and a Pomegranate Martini. The Scallops and Brussel Sprouts were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the drinks were delicious and make with just the right balance of flavor and alcohol. The atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant is located steps away from the Charleston City Market. Overall we were very pleased, and will visit again the next time we are in town.

We stopped here at the bar for happy hour and it did not disappoint! Chris was working at the bar and shucking oysters and he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable of the variety of oysters and gave us a lot of good information. Brittany was our bar server and she was fantastic. We highly recommend this place!!!

Absolutely wonderful place to sample the oysters. The oysters were fresh. The atmosphere is pleasant. And our waiter was quick and nice. We will definitely come back again

I walked in here during the weekend of the 4th of July, and surprisingly, the place was not crowded. I was blown away by the fresh oysters (raw and grilled are both amazing); they were reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The catch of the day was exceptional as well, and the purple rice was a delightful surprise. The service was attentive, and the overall experience was fantastic.

Fantastic oyster bar. The shuckers and bartender were awesome. We had a mix of the oysters on a half shell, the baja fish tacos and the shrimp roll.

Our waitress was great, but the food was just ok. The oysters are much better at 167 Bar, and a much better price. The Brussels sprouts were pretty good. Late fall is a tough season for seafood, as it’s all from frozen, so we weren’t very impressed with the whole snapper dish.

To be completely fair, the only reason I came here was a Bulldog Food Tour. I'm not a huge seafood fan. However, I ended up trying the she crab soup and shrimp and grits. I loved both of them! I was sad that we didn't get bigger portions and our time was limited there. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy.

The bartender was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and helped me pick great options for food and drinks since I’m from out of town. Oysters were great.
