Food Scene

Primarily an excellent cocktail bar, Bearded Lady also serves a some light snacks and has one of the best oyster selections in the area, with great prices to match. With outside seating and never too crowded, it's a great place to have "a drink and a dozen." For the late night crowd, all oysters on the menu are $1 after midnight.
