In the world of gastronomy, there are places that do not just serve delicious food — they create mood, culture, atmosphere that you'd want to experience again and again. The Hourly Oyster House is exactly such an establishment. This restaurant and bar has become a true gastronomic symbol of Massachusetts, where seafood, especially oysters, are served with impeccable flavor, style, and soul.
The main pride of The Hourly Oyster House is, of course, oysters. Every day, the freshest specimens are delivered here from the Atlantic coast and other regions of the world, carefully selected for quality, taste, and texture. You can taste oysters in different variations:
raw on ice — with classic lemon, mignonette, or jalapeño sauces;
baked with cheese, garlic, or tartar sauce;
signature options — oysters in a champagne sauce, with fried bacon, or even in a cocktail.
Each bite is a journey into the world of marine freshness, where the taste of the ocean is complemented by sophisticated notes of spices, citrus, and wine.
Besides oysters, the menu of The Hourly Oyster House is a true festival of seafood dishes. Here you can enjoy:
juicy shrimp in spicy sauces;
delicate
aromatic mussels in white wine;
crispy calamari with lime aioli;
signature dishes with fresh fish, prepared according to exclusive recipes.
In addition to seafood, the menu includes light appetizers, salads with seasonal vegetables, dishes from local farm products, reflecting the latest trends in healthy and balanced nutrition.
One of the secrets of the popularity of The Hourly Oyster House is its interior and atmosphere. The design of the establishment combines stylish modern approach with the warmth of traditional hospitality. Every guest feels comfortable — whether it's a business meeting, dinner with friends, or a romantic event.
In the spacious main hall, there is soft lighting, wooden details add warmth, and open kitchen areas allow you to see the cooking process.
On the outdoor terrace, you can enjoy the view of the city or the waterfront, savoring oysters with a glass of sparkling wine.
The Hourly Oyster House is famous not only for its cuisine but also for its bar culture. The bartenders here are true artisans who create signature cocktails that can enhance the flavor of each dish:
classics: Martini, Negroni, Old Fashioned;
original drinks with maritime notes: cocktails with seaweed, citrus, and white vermouth;
wine selection, specially curated for seafood;
local beer and craft drinks, allowing you to get acquainted with regional producers.
Additionally, the restaurant regularly organizes mixology masterclasses, where you can learn the secrets of cocktail art and try creating your own drink.
The Hourly Oyster House is the taste of the ocean in every dish, mastery in every movement, atmosphere in every touch.
It’s a place where gourmetness combines with warmth, where tradition meets innovation, and where every guest becomes part of a grand story written against the sounds of the sea and the aroma of fresh oysters.
