The Oyster Bar at Peter Havens

We made a late afternoon stop here on a Friday. There was a local arts festival going on and the street was closed. The venue is rather small with seating for twenty at best. They mixed their Martinis strong. On the second round our server suggested the i mix it up with some special olives. One was stuffed with an anchovie, another with blue cheese and the third with a picled garlic clove.

There were two oysters to choose from that day. One was from Massachussettes and the other from PEI. Bother were very enjoyable albeit a little twords the small end of the spectrum..We had enjoyable conversation with our server regarding the number of oysters they sell per week and what becomes of the used shells. Apparently they are put to good use as part of an organic compost. This place is well worth a stop if you enjoy cocktails and oysters.

Always love going to the Oyster Bar! Great food, service, and atmosphere. Ernest makes a great martini and is very knowledgeable with mixology. Definitely a spot to check out in Brattleboro!

The oyster bar at Peter Havens is such a great spot in Brattleboro. They offer a good selection of fresh oysters and cold seafood along with tinned fish. Really good cocktails and draft beer poured by a skilled and friendly bartender. We love walking to downtown and having drinks and some shrimp cocktail and a dozen oysters. The Ahi Tuna and the Lobster rolls are great too!

Not only an amazing small selection of the perfect delicacies for sitting at a high-end bar table or standing at one of a small number of tall circular bar tables (there may also be tall chairs), including oysters, but the gentleman who runs the place is outstanding while being unobtrusive.

High-end food with no reservation required for a quick (or leisurely) dinner. No need to eat at the restaurant adjoining; this little place is enough on its own, if you wish.

Stopped in last week on a whim. My husband and I ate a bunch of small plates and oysters for dinner. We had some amazing cocktails too! All of the seafood was fresh and delicious. The bartender was super kind.

Both the drink and food options were superb. My scallops were amazing and our tuna tartare appetizer was one of the best I’ve had outside of Hawaii. Highly recommend (very expensive)

Perfect place for a wee bite and fabulous cocktails. We love oysters-as-dessert here!
