Overview
One of the most charismatic and unique openings of the year, The Hook, is a quirky, kitsch ode to the oyster bars of the US, complete with retro, nautical decor, live jazz piano performances and a yesteryear menu of cocktail classics. With an enticing blend of dive bar cool and shucking sophistication, this venue (from the team behind Piccolo Bar and Vermuteria) is now launching a bottomless bubbles and oysters offer, available every Saturday from 4—6pm.
Kicking off on October 26, this deal delivers the ultimate opportunity to elevate your weekend plans with a cozzie-livs-defying night of bargain bivalves and free-flowing fizz. For $99 per head, punters can enjoy two hours of unlimited Chandon Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine, a dozen oysters per head plus olives and beer nuts. Those who really want to make a night of it should opt for the premium package. For $149 per head, you can up the ante with two hours of bottomless French champagne, a dozen oysters per head and a selection of top-quality cheeses, curated by the legendary Penny's Cheese Shop.
Either enjoy your oysters au naturale, with a classic shallot mignonette, or (and trust us, you need to try it) dressed with a few drops of 10-year-aged Scotch whisky. You can also request some or all of your oysters grilled Kilpatrick style, with crispy hunks of bacon and a punch of tabasco.
