Brooklyn’s Best Oyster Happy Hours
The St. Austere: Despite rejecting traditional monikers like “restaurant,” “wine bar” or “gastropub,” this sibling-run spot isn’t trying to break new ground. Edibles are a self-proclaimed “mixed bag” of dependable favorites, like steamed mussels, meatballs, charcuterie and cheeses, and $1 oysters are available every day but Sunday from 6-8pm. But instead of Bluepoints, they frequently feature Virginia Sewansecotts, hefty and full-flavored with an appealing, lingering sweetness.
