Places to go and things to do when living in Brookland, DC.

There are tons of really great restaurants in DC, and plenty of places where you can also get great deals. But both together? Not usually. But that’s what you can expect at King Street Oyster Bar. Fresh seafood, expertly prepared, is what they do every day, in an airy, modern space that’s as inviting as the menu. 

Choose from East and West Coast oysters (of course!), plus ceviche, crab cakes, and more. For a true seafood sampler, try the Ivy City Smokehouse fish board. It has salmon prepared four ways, plus whitefish salad, served with bagels and all the little extras to make countless delicious bites. The fish board preparation serves two, and is only $26. Amazed? Wait until you hear about half-priced Hog Island oysters at happy hour, chop house burgers for $10, and tons of sides for just $5. You’ll fall in love with King Street Oyster Bar long before the check arrives, but then be planning on a return visit once you see the reasonable bill.
