This has become a staple for us every time we visit San Francisco. Their daily happy hour (which includes weekends) has 1.55 oysters, you really can’t find that good of a deal on a weekend anywhere else - or at least we haven’t been able to!
Highly recommend

I’ve been coming to Waterbar for over seven years, and moments like today remind me why this place is truly special.

Every Friday, Waterbar offers their iconic lobster roll, and today I experienced something that went far beyond the menu. I don’t eat bread or pasta, and Fred — one of the bartenders — immediately suggested creating a healthier version for me.

Fred is someone I genuinely recommend looking for when you sit at the bar....

This spot holds a special place for me. The team really knows their stuff, especially when it comes to oysters—they’re great at explaining flavors and helping you choose the perfect ones, even if you’re new to them. Whenever friends visit me in San Francisco, this is always a must-stop. Each area has its own charm: the patio is perfect during the day, the bar is ideal for happy hour, and the dining room feels elegant and cozy for a refined evening. It’s a memorable experience...
