If you're looking to "get shucked," there's a new oyster bar and casual seafood spot that's just opened on The Drive. Harbour Oyster + Bar has slid into the Commercial Drive address that was briefly one of Vancouver's many now-shuttered Bao Down outposts.

Harbour Oyster + Bar focuses on approachable eats, along with a seafood program that includes freshly-shucked oysters and a variety of shellfish like mussels and clams. They opened for business on Monday, April 29.
On the menu at Harbour are predominantly old school and tried-and-true seafood dishes like Oysters Rockefeller, chowders, fish and chips, surf and turf, lobster rolls, seafood linguine, crab cakes, and a classic prawn cocktail alongside landlubbers' delights like a burger and salads, and of course a loaded lobster poutine.

From the bar, look for beer from their 12 beer taps, wine, and cocktails with a bit of a party vibe (think tequila shots).
Harbour is kicking off with an all-day Happy Hour, running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily featuring deals on a few core menu items like the poutine, along with items like prawns, clams, or mussels, as well as oysters on the half-shell, for more daytime-friendly prices. Wash back the seafood with discounted beer, wine, and drink specials from the bar.
