We came here during their Monday happy hour from 11AM-5PM and gorged ourselves in seafood. The food: Oysters of the Day - these were fresh and delicious. They were served with fresh grated horseradish which I rarely see. There were also a few sauces to try with the oysters if you want to get a little more variety We ordered Garlic Prawns in a tomato sauce, Steamed Clams in a wine sauce, and a ton of garlic bread to dip. I could have just eaten that and been happy. Fried Oysters are massive and come fully loaded with sauce and garnish Po-boys are almost like a half Po-Boy on that same garlic bread 1 lb bucket of crab - snow crab served with butter - we even dipped this in the tomato and wine sauces This was just a fun experience using our hands and making our way through the pile of seafood delivered to us. It was quite hot the day we went, so we had to survive the outdoors and partial sun. But overall, really good time for everyone in my family. They gave us a few wet wipes, but there was no way they would get the job done. I needed a sink to handle what my hands had become by the end of the meal. My family scores: Brendan - 4.4 Charlotte - 4.5 Shanying - 5.0 Winston - 4.5 read more

First time in Canada and my friends and I found this really nice restaurant! We were interested in getting oysters for lunch and they had HH oysters and buckets of crab legs on Monday! It wasn't super busy so everything came out within 10 minutes so service is really fast. We were seated outside for a party of 7! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Oysters were extremely tasty and I loved all the sauces that were offered. I loved the ponzu sauce the most! The crab legs were so sweet that I almost wanted to order another lb but the lobster rolls and chowder were the perfect amount for everyone. read more

Went on a weekend for their happy hour. Pretty busy and had to wait for about 45minutes We ordered some happy hour oysters, their happy hour cajun clams and fried oysters. It was a sunday and their caesar cocktail was on sale too. Their oysters were good, just not my preferred type. they were a bit dry. But the fried oysters were great! Right amount of batter and the oysters were still very nice after the frying process. Their cajun clams were alright We discovered that they have a secret menu QR code posted and we ordered the oyster shooters from the secret menu. Very well made!!! just unsure why these oyster shooters took more than 20min to prepare. ‍ read more

A wonderful place for fresh, delish, reasonable oysters and delish fish & chip. Went here for lunch upon entered to Vancouver. Been here long time ago but still have the great vibe of it therefore got to go back for another great vibe, especially on Easter Day and your birthday. The place was packed both inside and out (small place but a very cool place) but counter had several opened seats, sat there and hoping some table outside will be open soon since it's abit loud plus sat right nearby the speaker so was blasting cool oldies music. Great but small of excellent choices menu, got a bottle of white wine, a dozen oyster, fish & chip, claims, and chowder. Just say that we finished it all. Yup it's that good. Service can be slow but once he got the rhythm going, it smooth sailing from there. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Great service and delicious oysters! They were super fresh, creamy, and no sour/fishy taste to it. We also ordered the beef tartare, crab legs, pasta, etc. All choices were great! Prices were a little steep considering the portion sizes, but overall a great place for food and drinks. Our server was great, she was funny and had great recommendations. read more

Wanted to highly recommend Harbour Oyster and Bar again as I have visited several times since my last review with boyfriend, mother and cousins on separate occasions. Love their raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller (boyfriend loved their burger), and love that they support local brewers and beverage producers. They have a wholesome friendly vibe, and I've had quick bites as well as happy hour and full meals here. Come for the food, stay for the chatter. Thank you Harbour! read more

Stopped in for their daytime happy hour. The mussels are good but the portions are on the smaller side. The oysters on the other hand where huge, but a bit more on the milky side. The fries are super solid (hard to go wrong here) and the shrimp Poboy was the surprise stand out. I would skip the shellfish and just get more poboys. Service was fine, nothibh more nothing less. And the vibe is a little confusing. read more

Oysters are shucked properly , never any little shell pieces for me, they are super quick with their shucking too! I'd like to try one of their boils one of these nights read more

We came here around 12:30pm, the guy from the bar gave us the menu and the water, then walked away, we asked for a table outside, he said it was not available, would give it to us when it became available, we sat inside for 15 mins waiting, a party from outside left, the other waiter gave our table to someone else without checking to see whether we were waiting, the guy at the bar has a big time attitude, it became annoying and rude, after 30 mins of waiting with no service, we decided to get up and leave. I will NEVER come back to this place since they seem no care for the customers, and there are several other restaurants around for better service. read more

Always a shitty attitude accepting ppl with lots of tables open 50%+ put u on a "wait list" .. quick tips tables need to be filled if you wanna make money and have ppl come back don't play hard to get or hire better ppl who don't act like a dick read more

The server tended to us immediately and was very helpful in giving recommendations. He also ensured to do last call for happy hour which is quite rare as I find most places would prefer for you to miss the happy hour specials. However, when it comes to the food it is "bar quality" which I define as it's better to be there for the drinks rather than the food. The nice part about this place are the extremely fresh oysters of course and that they are only $2 for the daily oyster during happy hour. The shrimp po boys could use cajun flavouring as they are quite basic. Whereas the cajun broth mussels are not what I would define as cajun as they added oregano to it...enough said. It is a small space with not a ton of seating and the music if pub volume but the service and the oysters are fantastic. read more

It was my first time coming here. My brother recommended this place for fresh oysters. They have a fantastic happy hour, with oysters or about $2 a pop. My brother and I each ordered a dozen, and chowed down. We also ordered some white wine and garlic white wine clams. The wine was good and the clams were very tasty. He came with a piece of toasted bread, which we took to dunk in the broth. Yum! The next time I'm back in town, I will definitely be heading here for another dozen of fresh oysters. There are two really cool, young guys who run the joint. They are also servers, which is very impressive because this place can get pretty busy and quickly. Overall, I'm impressed with the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I want to come back to try some other items on the menu. read more

Harbour Oyster + Bar - Over a dozen fresh oysters. Yum! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Recently revisited Harbour and enjoyed it as much as my first time there! We came during happy hour as well and there was a good selection. Amongst the hair hour menu we ordered the crisp fried oyster, steamed mussels on white wine sauce, and shrimp po boys. And we added a lobster roll as well. The fried oyster was one of my favourite. The poster was much larger than I expected and fried nicely. For the mussels it was cooked really well but I would choose a different sauce next time as it was slightly too lemony in the flavour. We got to dine in the patio which was really nice to enjoy the last bit of summer and the servers were just as attentative inside and outside the patio. read more

Amazing place on the drive!!! They have multiple seafood choices to choose from, Even mussels, crab, or lobster boil for 2-4 people. We tried the lobster linguini and the blackened fish tacos and half doz oysters. Lobster pasta was a hit. Pasta was fresh and had a hint of lobster oil. Although i wish they put more lobster chunks. But the cream Lobster sauce was so good. It can easily rival a fine dining restaurant. The fish tacos were awesome as well. Made and tasted fresh. Good size fish portions and the salsa mix was perfect. Too bad it didnt come With fries, so i ordered a half order of the fresh garlic fries. So yummy and crunchy. Twice fried and so good. The oysters were amazing as well. They do have limited options,Depending on whats available. Usually 2-3 Varieties only. Beer is cold but mojito was a bit weak and watery and had too much ice. Prices too are a bit higher than most places. 2 people after happy hr can easily cost $100. But service was outstanding. Servers always in a jolly mood ready to answer any questions and provide informative solutions on what to order. Ambiance very lively and upbeat. Feels like you are eating in a fishing village. I would repeat for sure. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

Loved this place. Just found it while scrolling yelp. The most important thing after the food, which I'll get to, was the staff. Our service was top notch, friendly and helpful. Loved it. We had PEI oysters and west coast oysters to share. Both were delicious and distinctive. I had halibut and fries, and it was week bettered. The fish was flaky and was excellent. The bar is a little snug but totally comfortable with nostalgic decor. I'd highly recommend. read more

When you are in Vancouver you must eat oysters and we found this hidden gem that offered Happy Hour from 11am - 5pm. We are still thinking about the oysters and wish we had another dozen. Service was so nice and quick even when the place got a little busy after we arrived. Everything tasted fresh and yummy! Would come back again the next time we are back in BC. read more

Party of 6, no reservations allowed for happy hour, which is understandable. We were going to go down the street to grab another table but the host said a table was almost ready to leave. We ended up waiting an hour because that party ended up chatting longer before settling the bill. Not the restaurant 's fault but it deserves mentioning. Waiter was a bit rough, slamming our condiment tray onto the table. 3 out of 6 plates still has visible food residue on them and had to be exchanged. There were no apologies. Food and beverage options were just alright. Nothing special and limited options. Just one variety of oyster on special for $2. The rest of the oysters were $4/each, pretty expensive given that it's pretty casual, and not fine dining or Michelin starred or anything. The real kicker is when they automatically charged us 20% tip on top of liquor taxes, but we only noticed this when we saw the bill (the waiter didn't tell us). So when the payment machine came, the waiter allowed the tip function to still come up on the machine, and he didn't say anything, so if we weren't looking, they would have allowed us to tip on top of the tip they already charged us! Not exactly transparent or honest. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Finally made it out to Harbour Oyster + Bar for their $2.00 happy hour oysters. It's located between Marcello Ristorante & Pizzeria and Sake Maki. We dropped in on an early Monday afternoon (around 3:30pm) and put our names down on the waitlist. Took about 15 minutes to get seated. Service is friendly and the waiters were all very chill. Overheard the main shucker saying he's been doing it for over 10 years. There's a regular menu but our focus was mainly on the happy hour menu (11:00am to 5:00pm everyday). - Lobster poutine ($19.00) - we asked for the poutine on the side, which kept the fries crisp. Interestingly, our waiter compared these to Costco fries. You get about three small chunks of lobster. The "poutine" was one of the better versions I've had in the city so far. Not too heavy and a couple chunks of cheese. - Happy hour clams ($14.00) - opted for the red wine 'nduja. The clams came with one piece of buttered garlic toast. Standard fare. - 12x Oysters ($1.50 each) - oysters of the day were Chef Creek. Slightly briny but overall mild in flavour. Decent spot to grab happy hour oysters. 3.5 stars. read more

We stopped by spur of the moment while waiting for check in and we instantly fell in love with this place. Their food is delicious and they have an awesome HH! Wine is good with what they have on HH and oysters are amazing paired together! Their service is also excellent but what made us come back was Spencer that works behind the bar and shucks the oysters. He's so personable and made our time so enjoyable. We recently went back again just because of him! He's so awesome and happy to see there are amazing people in the restaurant industry still. read more

Harbour Oyster + Bar - 2 dozen oysters on HH - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Oysters, lobsters, prawn, hamburger and fries, plus crafted beer! What not to love?! Absolutely amazing food! This was back in June 2021 right before the heat wave. The servers were very friendly. The COVID protocols were followed such as servers wearing mask, contact tracing and hand sanitizer at entrance. - Fresh Oysters on the halfshell $1.50 per - perfect size, so fresh and delicious! (Oyster of the day - Lighthouse from Denman Island) - Oyster Rockefeller - with cheese, bacon, shallots and spinach, etc. Absolutely scrumptious! - Lobster Prawn Rolls - so fresh and light. Yummy! - BC Burger - very delicious according to my friend I tried some of the fries. So good! - Pale ale - very refreshing crafted beer The only "problem" for me was having a hard time deciding whether to order more fresh oyster or more oyster Rockefeller! It's such a great place to hang out with friends while enjoying the great food. read more

Great little bar. We had clam chowder, Cajun spiced shrimp and a couple of drinks! Staff was great! Fun place!

11am-5pm Happy Hour everyday! That was pretty much the highlight of this spot. It's been getting harder and harder to find a sweet oyster happy hour spot, thanks inflation and the red tide for $2 oysters, but Harbour does a pretty good job. Food was decent, definitely go for their lobster poutine! It's a cool little spot with great service. Only caveat, if you see it that way, is that you can only order 1 dozen fresh oysters at a time! My favorite thing about this spot is the selection of sauces and hot sauces available at your table! read more

Unfortunately my girlfriends and I couldn't make it in time for happy hour. There wasn't enough seats for the five of us as we were so cramped we went from patio to indoor which was too loud for us to talk and just as cramped. I wish they could've moved another table for us but they didn't. Oysters were $3.00 and the only highlight of my meal. One of my gfs and I were curious as to what the crab mac and cheese would taste like and now we understand why nobody orders it or takes a pic. It's pretty bad. Very little crab and you couldn't even taste the crab cause of the overly salty cheese sauce. I've had microwaveable Mac and cheese that tasted better. The Boston chowder was okay.. it wasn't anything special. The service also wasn't that great as we kept trying to get the server's attention every time we needed something. We were ignored throughout the middle of dining and the end. He also didn't explain anything whenever someone was asking a question. Most likely wouldn't come back here. read more

Cute little restaurant on busy Commercial drive. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Music played in the background, not too noisy when we were there. We ordered lobster poutine, which I thought had a generous amount of lobster on it, clam chowder, fish and chips, and the shrimp in garlic sauce. If you love garlic, definitely recommend it! We dipped the fish in the sauce and was great! The fish was nice and crispy. The fries were not plain fries, maybe lightly battered? I would have preferred plain fries but didn't know exactly what kind I was getting. Staff were friendly and freely gave suggestions when asked, which was much appreciated! I would say most people come for the wide variety of raw oysters. They have a great selection! Metered parking on the street, be prepared to add coins. read more

Legit place to hang out on Commercial for drinks and order shareable plates! Tapa style selection with the quality of west coast seafood. We had a bit of everything but I want to comment on the freshness of the raw oysters - succulent! Seafood is just one of those things that has to be extremely fresh. You could order 1 meal per person... but trust me one won't do, you will want to sample everything. read more

Happy hour is quite the steal. It's too bad it's only 11-5. This mama needs the food happy hour to extend into late night after the babies go to bed! Alas I had my dozen oysters. They have a good variety that rivals Blue Water Cafe but prices were almost on par despite the more casual, less refined atmosphere. I had 12 Chef Creek which were fresh and tasty. They provide horseradish, some sauces which I never use so can't comment. Friends order the scallop with bacon and the lobster roll which they enjoyed. One day I hop to make it to the 1.50 shuck. read more

A warm welcome from the staffs is a good sign for a meal. I went here for happy hour oysters but ended up order too much. Happy hour is from 11 to 5. The $1.5 oyster is good but I recommend getting the $2 ones because they are a bit bigger but a lot more flavorful. Clams with white wine and garlic sauce is ok but kinda salty for me. Crab cake is juicy and packed with real crab. Highlight: there is no limit of the happy hour oyster (but minimum 6) read more

The weather called for a patio and happy hour. Located on The Drive, Harbour Oyster + Bar offers up an awesome happy hour. We took advantage of their $1.50 oysters, happy hour mussels in white wine and garlic, and topped it off with their fried oysters. I love caesars and was happy to find that their creation had not only a prawn, but an olive and a pickled baby corn. The highlight of the drink was the rimmed glass. The mix of spices was absolutely delightful. Everything was well prepared and perfect for sharing while enjoying the sunshine. The server was attentive even though they were understaffed. I'd highly recommend this joint if your looking for some casual eats over a beer or cocktail. read more

Came here for happy hour with my husband on a weekday and they did not disappoint. We each had a dozen oysters and shared the white wine mussels and fried oysters. The oysters were fresh and sweet and came with a fun selection of sauces to use on top. The sauces ranged from a mild vinaigrette to a spicy jalapeno. The mussels were perfectly cooked, my only wish was that we had more bread to soak up the remaining sauce on the plate. The fried oysters were a perfect texture, not chewy, and not too soft and squishy. We enjoyed our food out on their patio. Even though the tables were close to each other, each table was separated by plexiglass, making the space feel safe and spacious. This is definitely a place to go for happy hour. read more

Excellent spot on Commercial Drive. I've been waiting to check this place out and finally did yesterday. It's bright and got that marine vibe about it. It was also super lively for a mid-afternoon Friday afternoon of a short work week. We tried their Lobster Poutine, Fresh Oysters, Fried Oysters & Steamed Clams & Mussels. Food was served hot and there were chunks of lobster & oysters were shucked well. Their service is solid!! Our server was fantastic - she was so good to my baby and many of the other staff came by to teach him how to high five. Food was served piping hot and drinks nice and cold. They have an extensive collection of beer on tap and their menu was decently priced. I highly recommend this place! **Note that the path through the restaurant is quite tight - most of their seating is high tops or bar seating so it is not the most kid-friendly - we held on to my baby the entire time and were made to feel quite welcome! read more
