Cocktails and Iced Oysters at a Brooklyn Raw Bar
Order oysters on crushed ice and cocktails at a low-lit Brooklyn bar.
🦪 Oysters and a Serious Drink List
Grand Army runs a proper raw bar along one side and a cocktail counter along the other, and the two meet in the middle of a dark, low-lit room on State Street in Brooklyn.
Oysters arrive on crushed ice with a small cup of mignonette, lined up by the dozen for the table to share. The drinks lean stirred and spirit-forward, poured at a stone-topped bar backed by a wall of bottles. The kitchen keeps the half-shell list shifting with whatever arrives fresh, and the lineup rewards regulars who ask what is freshest.
Reviewers give it 4.4 across nearly 800 visits, a strong mark for a neighborhood bar that fills up after dark. Come with a small group, claim a stretch of the counter, and work through a round of oysters before the cocktails start arriving.
