Hank's Oyster Bar is a multi-decade DC institution with multiple locations. The Dupont Circle outpost is a neighborhood anchor with consistent press attention in Washington Post, Washingtonian, and Eater DC as the go-to raw bar in the area. The best oyster happy hour deal in Dupont Circle — $2.50 East Coast oysters at a genuine raw bar institution, not a gimmick, in a neighborhood that otherwise has few dedicated seafood spots.
