New York City oyster lovers, consider this your official invitation to start drinking earlier. Marseille, the popular French brasserie in Hell’s Kitchen, is offering a $1.50 oyster happy hour that makes indulging in one of the city’s favorite seafood treats considerably easier on the wallet.
At a time when restaurant prices seem to climb faster than Manhattan rents, finding oysters for $1.50 each is reason enough to make a reservation — or at least reconsider your after-work plans.
A Little Taste of the French Riviera on Ninth Avenue
Located at 630 Ninth Avenue, Marseille brings a distinctly French Mediterranean atmosphere to the Theater District. The restaurant has built a following for its classic French cooking, seafood selections and lively brasserie setting.
Think moules frites, steak frites, French onion soup and, naturally, plenty of wine. It’s the kind of place where a quick drink can easily turn into a full evening over dinner.
But during happy hour, the oysters are the real headliners.
The $1.50 Oyster Happy Hour
For seafood fans, Marseille’s $1.50 oysters offer an affordable way to enjoy fresh oysters without committing to a full seafood tower or an expensive raw-bar bill.
Whether you’re meeting friends after work, grabbing a pre-theater drink or simply craving something briny and delicious, the deal makes a compelling case for stopping by.
Pair them with a glass of crisp white wine, a martini or a French-inspired cocktail, and suddenly an ordinary weekday feels a little more like a vacation in the South of France.
Put Marseille on Your NYC Happy Hour List
Between its French brasserie atmosphere, Mediterranean-inspired menu and wallet-friendly oyster special, Marseille offers a welcome alternative to the usual Midtown happy hour routine.
At just $1.50 per oyster, there’s really only one question: How many can you comfortably fit on the table?
For New Yorkers who love a good oyster deal, Marseille is definitely worth knowing about.
