Nothing says warm weather quite like devouring oysters while drinking something refreshing and lounging on a patio. Updated for spring 2022, here's the Eater Boston guide to dollar oysters in Boston (and very close by).

A few notes:

  • While this map is kept as up-to-date as possible, there are no guarantees in the world of dollar oysters; restaurants might change their offerings at any time, and readers are encouraged to confirm with a restaurant directly before making a special trip for the sole purpose of eating dollar oysters. Please email boston@eater.com if a deal needs to be updated or removed from this map.
  • Each listing includes every day of the week that the deal is available, written out fully ("Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday" rather than "Monday through Wednesday"), so if you're on a computer, you can hit control-F or command-F, depending on your system, to quickly scan through all the listings for a particular day of the week.
  • Feel free to head over to the Eater Boston Facebook group to discuss all things oyster and clue other readers in on your favorite deals.

A version of this map first appeared in 2012 and has been updated periodically since then. The date of the latest major update appears above; smaller updates occur frequently during the spring and summer and less frequently during the rest of the year.
