The newly designed Oyster Bar in St. Pete, ready to welcome guests with an expanded menu.
The long-awaited reopening of the Oyster Bar is just around the corner! Set to debut in May at its new location in the Grand Central District, this beloved seafood spot promises to enchant diners with an expanded menu, featuring dry-aged steaks and unique dishes like cured fish. With its spacious design and commitment to community, the Oyster Bar is ready to make waves once again. Don’t miss out on this culinary delight at 2245 Central Ave!
Hey there, St. Pete! If you love a good seafood feast, you’re in for a *real treat*. The beloved Oyster Bar is set to reopen its doors this May at its new location in the bustling Grand Central District. Yes, you heard that right! The restaurant will be making its grand entrance at 2245 Central Ave, bringing in a fresh vibe along with an exciting expanded menu.
This shiny new spot is taking over what used to be Zoey’s, and let me tell you, owner Josh Cameron has really outdone himself. The previous Oyster Bar location was nestled somewhere on the 200 block in downtown St. Pete, but this 3,000 square foot space is a game changer! With a whole lot of elbow room, diners can expect a more comfortable experience.
The new design features three distinct areas, ensuring there’s something for everyone. First up is a cozy raw bar with six comfy seats. This is the perfect spot for you to get up-close and personal with the shucking action going on right in front of you! Then, there’s the family-style dining room with booth and table seating, ideal for sharing good food and great company.
And let’s not forget about the bar area, which features some snazzy liquor and wine cages. You can look forward to a fantastic selection of drinks to complement all that delectable food coming out of the kitchen!
The star of the show, however, is going to be the new menu that will delight your taste buds in ways you never imagined. Thanks to a state-of-the-art kitchen, diners will now have the opportunity to indulge in dry-aged steaks—a treat that was simply not feasible in the previous location due to space restrictions. These steaks are sure to be a big hit, and the family-style Pacana, a luscious cut of beef from Brazil, is designed to serve between 2-4 people. Perfect for the whole family!
But wait, there’s more! Cameron is even toying with the idea of offering aged seafood options, like cured fish, inspired by a popular dish from Iceland. Imagine sinking your teeth into some of these new creations—yum!
For over 20 years, the Oyster Bar team has been hard at work, shucking well over a million oysters—averaging more than *two tons of oysters* each week! That’s a lot of delicious bivalves! In addition to satisfying your seafood cravings, the restaurant partners with Tampa Bay Watch, a fantastic non-profit that focuses on environmental conservation. They donate their shucked shells for reef restoration projects, making a meaningful impact on the local ecosystem.
As we look forward to the reopening in May, anticipation is building in the community. With its expanded menu, eco-friendly initiatives, and charming new layout, the Oyster Bar promises to be a delightful destination once again. So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and get ready to enjoy the delicious flavors at St. Pete’s very own Oyster Bar!
