About

Bar: Full bar

Oyster House is an LGBTQ-owned Philadelphia institution that has been serving East Coast-style seafood for over 40 years. Expect lots of lobster and a menu blending American, European, and fusion influences in a lively, upscale setting that appeals to a mixed gay-straight crowd. The full bar and craft beer list complement the seafood, and happy hour makes it more accessible. The atmosphere balances romance with group-friendly energy, thanks to confirmed outdoor seating and the ability to reserve a table. For a pre-dinner stroll or post-meal treat, nearby Reading Terminal Market offers another iconic Philly food stop. Tuesday through Saturday hours let you plan a relaxed evening or a weekend splurge.
