Where to get cheap oysters in Melbourne
Oyster Bar: South Melbourne Market
The oyster bar at South Melbourne Market offers the freshest oysters straight from the ocean. It's not a happy hour situation, either – they're serving those $1.80 oysters from the early hours right into the evening. And the bar offers lemon, hot sauce, vinegar and other sauces to dress up those briny morsels.
The Atlantic
You can get oysters for $2 apiece Monday-Wednesday throughout winter. And really, winter is the only time you should be eating oysters anyway.
The Woolshed
Head to this Docklands venue for $2 oysters all day on Tuesdays. You can also get a $12 glass of bubbles to wash it down, which seems like an excellent prospect to us.
Panama Dining Room and Bar
Every night of the week, Panama in Fitzroy puts on a $1 oyster offer from 6-7pm. When the clock strikes, they're back to $4.50 each.
Fitzroy Social
You can get $2 oysters and $12 cocktails Wednesday-Saturday from 5-7pm, and all day on Sundays. That's a Sunday session done right.
