So you love oysters, but you don’t love paying around $3 for each of those little bivalves? If you’re looking for a bargain, and you’re not concerned about a lot of variety, then happy hour at [Grand Central Oyster Bar Brooklyn](http://oysterbarbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) is where you should be slurping.

The new outpost, which [opened in December](/blog/food/now-open-grand-central-oyster-bar-brooklyn) at 256 5th Avenue, is particularly fun to visit if you want to try all sorts of oysters — they regularly have well over a dozen varieties available, representing both coasts. But while picking and choosing can be a wonderful way to find out just the kinds of oysters you prefer, it can get pricey pretty quickly. One or two oysters may be priced below $2 a piece, but the rest go up from there. If you don’t mind sticking to one type, the $1 oyster during happy hour is a great way to go.

Happy hour runs from 5-7pm Monday through Friday, and 10-11pm on Saturday and Sunday. Ask your server what the specials are — on a recent visit, a draft beer and the house red and white wines were $5 and $6, respectively, and the $1 oyster of the day was the Holy Grail out of Chesapeake Bay. A little briny and sweet, they were well worth the dollar, and we liked them best with just a little bit of lemon juice.

Oysters are one of those foods that are just plain weird — god bless the first person to think, “Yeah, I’ll eat that!” — and they’re definitely subjective. One person may prefer a hulking Bluepoint, another may go for the delicate Kumamoto. If you pretty much like them all, take the gamble on the happy hour here, and you can’t go wrong.
