B & T Oyster Bar Late Night Happy Hour [CLOSED]

[UPDATE: B & T Oyster Bar is now closed]

It's dark so early now, isn't it? These chilly, wind-whipped, rain-soaked winter days can really get you down and make holiday errand-running somewhat of a challenge.

If you're out and about, be sure to tuck into Block & Tackle Oyster Bar (B & T Oyster Bar), a cozy spot on SE Division that's nestled among some of Portland's trendiest new restaurants, cafes, and local boutiques.

B & T Oyster Bar is long, narrow, low-light restaurant that transports you to the coast, with its fishnet globe lighting, oceanic-themed chalkboard drawing and quotes. It's the kind of place you go with good friends after a long work day to unwind, sit back, and just relax.

Recently, I was invited to check out their new late night happy hour menu, which is a FABULOUS deal and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Chef de Cuisine Robert Lucas was on hand to help us shuck oysters, which was a fun challenge, but don't worry, they'll be pre-shucked for you when you visit! :) 

B & T Oyster Bar Late Night Happy Hour

Here's a look at what you can find on the late night happy hour.

Raw Oysters on the Half Shell - $2 each

Oyster shooters: $1.50 each 

Crab Hand Roll $6

This was a crowd favorite on the evening I visited. The crab rolls are delicate yet filling, and contain King and red crab, glass noodles, nuoc cham mayonnaise, yuzu tobiko, wrapped in soy paper.

Urban Bliss Pick: Tempura Rock Shrimp ($9)

My favorite dish on the late night happy hour is the tempura rock shrimp, which comes with two different dressings: spicy mayo and wasabi mayo, and a side of white soy ponzu, daikon and herb salad. I'm a spice wimp, and I didn't find these to be too spicy. They were fried and dressed up just right, in my opinion. So delicious!

Fish Sandwich (late night HH only) $11

This is a hefty, delectable, two-handed fish sandwich. It's beer battered mahi mahi filet (note: the exact fish may change), old bay mayo, house pickle relish, shaved red onion, iceburg.

You can also get a Squid Salad for $8 on the late night happy hour menu.

I did want to share a photo of B & T Oyster Bar's Beet Salad ($10) which is on their regular menu. I'm normally not a fan of beets but they're definitely having their moment in restaurants right now, and B & T does a great job with this one.

This inventive salad features heirloom beets, wasabi ranch, belgian endive, arugula, green apple, pumpkin seeds

Happy Hour Drinks

$6 Oyster pairing wine glass (5-7pm only)
