Overview
Darlinghurst's The Strand Hotel reopened last year after a full-venue transformation. The ground floor had become a luxe French bistro, the accommodation had been given a boutique makeover and the rooftop is now a sunlit cocktail oasis. Not content with this swathe of exciting additions to William Street, the venue has now added one of Sydney's best happy hours to its menu.
The Strand is offering $1 oysters for 90 minutes every single day. The deal is available each afternoon Monday–Friday, 4–5.30pm, so swing by for a post-work or weekend afternoon dose of oysters.
There are a couple of caveats to consider. In order to claim the deal, you have to also order a full-priced drink. Plus, you have to order a minimum of six oysters — but who's complaining about a half-dozen oysters for just $6?
There are plenty of drinks to satisfy any oyster occasion. You can keep it simple with a beer on tap, or throw caution to the wind with one of the signature cocktails like the French Tart (which combines vodka, elderflower liqueur and rosemary syrup) or The Camus ( a peated whiskey, dark rum and chocolate bitters combo). There are also mocktails and non-alcoholic beers on offer for non-drinkers.
Head to The Strand's website if you want to make a booking during the happy hour times.
