Here’s the thing about oyster happy hours in San Francisco right now: most of them got more expensive. The $1 oyster used to be a reliable weekday fixture, the kind of deal you could count on at a dozen places around the city.
Then came inflation and rising wages and supply chain headaches, and most spots quietly nudged their prices to $1.50, $2, or just dropped the deal entirely. But a handful of places are still holding the line.
What follows is not just a dollar, but every oyster happy hour and deal I could confirm in San Francisco, organized by price. And this is all online sleuthing, so always call ahead before you go. These cheap ones are really just there to get you to buy other things, which means the food quality can be sus, and the supposed deal really may not be there when you go. It’s happened to me.
