The $1 oysters
Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook lists $1 oysters, but the page we read is its spring and summer menu, so confirm it is still running before you go in the cold months.
The Ten Bells in Bushwick and Valerie in Midtown both list $1 oysters, as do John Doe Craft Bar & Kitchen in Midtown and Bayridge Sushi in Bay Ridge.
$1.50 to $2, and closer to the action
Ten Bells on the Lower East Side and Amelia’s in Midtown are at $1.50; Mayfield in Crown Heights at $1.75. At $2 the list grows: Blue Fin by Times Square, Bar Francis, Layla, Legasea and The Bar Room.
Before you order
An oyster deal can come with a minimum order or apply only at the bar, and some name the oyster ("market oyster", "East Coast"). Where a bar states a condition or a variety, it is on the bar’s page; where it does not, we do not guess, so ask when you order.

How we put this together
Each bar’s happy hour was read from its own website or menu on September 1 to 3, 2026. On October 14 we fetched every page again: where the same prices still appear in the page text, the table says so; most menus are images, PDFs or load with JavaScript, so they could not be re-confirmed automatically and keep their September date. Prices are menu prices before NYC sales tax (8.875%) and tip.
