Clark's Oyster Bar

Clark’s Oyster Bar reflects the personality of Clarksville, the historic neighborhood where you’ll find this popular ode to bivalves. The crisp, white interior is elegant with white and black penny tile flooring and luncheonette-style seating in the bar. There’s a charming formality here, from the staff’s bowties and pressed aprons to the refined approach to the menu. You should always get the oysters: each of them with cute names (“black bear,” “lucky limes”) and origins on the East coast, West Coast and PEI. The crab cakes and lobster roll are winning picks for entrée, as is the mac and cheese with lump crab. The cocktail menu is a mix of martinis and modern classics, all of which are mixed with care. And good booze.
