The beach may not be your front yard, but that shouldn’t stop you from eating like it is! As the weather heats up, your body needs to cool down and many restaurants in the Arizona area are offering oyster and drink specials to help you do just that. Lovehappyhour.com has rounded up some fantastic oyster happy hours that will get you in the mood for seafood and save you some serious dough, too.
The Wildfish Seafood Grille (Scottsdale) is on the top of our list as they are serving $1 Louisiana oysters on ice with lemon and mignonette sauce. These treats will be available in the lounge nightly from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. as well as all night Sundays and Mondays. Whether you dine inside the contemporary dining room or sit outside on the patio, you are sure to enjoy delicious seafood or aged and broiled steaks.

This Scottsdale restaurant serves $1 Louisiana oysters during happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. nightly, and Sunday and Monday all night. Guests can enjoy $2 off drinks and wine by the glass during these hours as well. All of these amazing deals are available in the lounge area only. The “V” lounge is a comfortable setting where you can sit, drink, and eat while being serenaded by live jazz music. If you and your friends need a place to relax after work, this would be a wonderful spot to begin your evening.
Eddie V’s Prime Seafood - 15323 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85254 (480) 730-4800If you can’t make it to happy hour by 7 p.m., then The Salt Cellar (Scottsdale) may be a better place for you. They have twin happy hours daily. The first is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the second one begins at 10 p.m. and goes until 1 a.m. The Salt Cellar serves fresh Blue Point oysters for $1.50 each during happy hour. Besides the oysters, this restaurant has seafood selections from all over the world and their “market board” menu changes seasonally as they bring in different fish. No wonder The Salt Cellar has remained on the list of “Best of Seafood.” The restaurant’s dining area is located down three flights of antique wooden stairs, leading you away from the desert and into a beachfront vacation. These architectural details truly transform your happy hour experience into a seaside getaway.

Another place offering happy hour oysters for $1.50 is Bluewater Grill (Phoenix). Their happy hour is Monday through Friday 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Of course, there are select beers, house wine, well drinks, and cocktails all $5 or less which are available during happy hour.
Bluewater Grill - 1720 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016 (602) 277-3474One more popular happy hour spot is Casey Moore’s Oyster House (Tempe). This place is known as the most famous Irish pub in Arizona, and right now they are offering half a dozen oysters for $7 or a full dozen for $12. That means each oyster is about $1 each! Happy hour is available Monday through Friday 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. During these times, guests will receive $2 off any of the appetizers as well as $1 off wines, drafts, and well drinks.
Casey Moore’s Oyster House - 850 S Ash Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281 (480) 968-9935 Since these restaurants are not located near the ocean, the oysters and other seafood is flown in from different locations but that doesn’t stop them from still serving the freshest fish. So though you may not live near a beach, you can always pretend you do! With spring here and summer on the way, let these happy hour deals make you feel like you’re sitting on the beach enjoying delicious oysters and refreshing beverages. - March 26th, 2014 - By: Evyn Blair
