Where to find dollar oyster deals in and around Boston

Nothing says warm weather quite like devouring oysters while drinking something refreshing. Updated for summer 2019, here's the Eater Boston guide to dollar oysters.

A few notes:

This map is limited to restaurants and bars in Boston proper, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Brookline, Quincy, Newton, and Chelsea in order to keep it to a manageable number of listings. Something missing within that radius? Email boston@eater.com to let us know. Want to share your favorite dollar oyster deals beyond the radius? Feel free to leave a comment on this map to clue in readers to the best deals further outside the city, or head over to the Eater Boston Facebook group to discuss all things oyster.

The deals on this map are strictly limited to a dollar per oyster (or in rare cases, less), so some favorites that have previously appeared here are now omitted due to increased pricing. No $1.25 oysters here! (One exception: If a restaurant has $1 oysters sometimes and slightly pricier but still discounted oysters other times, both deals are included here.)

Each listing includes every day of the week that the deal is available, written out fully ("Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday" rather than "Monday through Wednesday"), so if you're on a computer, you can hit control-F or command-F, depending on your system, to quickly scan through all the listings for a particular day of the week.

While this map is kept as up-to-date as possible, there are no guarantees in the world of dollar oysters; restaurants might change their offerings at any time. Email boston@eater.com if a deal needs to be removed from this map.

A version of this map first appeared in 2012 and has been updated periodically since then. The date of the latest major update appears above; smaller updates occur frequently during the summer and less frequently during the rest of the year.

Note: Restaurants on this map are listed geographically.
