Dan & Louis Oyster Bar, Portland

Since the early 1900s, this fun, family-owned restaurant has been shucking oysters for Northwesterners. Seafood lovers will revel in the nautical environment decorated with sea artifacts and stein collections. Woods dominate the interiors and add to the feel of the place. Oysters are the specialty and are usually served on the half shell. Enjoy many varieties, including the Yaquina Bay oyster from Oregon and the Pearl Bay oyster from Vancouver, British Columbia. A tempting array of Northwest micro-brews will wash them down perfectly. If you prefer, enjoy one of the other delicacies such as shrimp stew or a chicken sandwich. Head to the Old Shucking Room after your binge for an extensive selection of spirits.
