My favorite for happy hour oysters and cocktails! Yes, you have to go to the strip but if you are down here for any other reason it is worthwhile! We come here as locals as a starter for our night. Happy hour oysters is from 4 till 6, it is their choice not the best ones of the bunch but we have never been disappointed. The oysters are always fresh and smooth in taste we prefer the Briny(Mild, sweet and salty) tasting oysters. Always seem to get lucky in getting them here! The other great thing is happy hour drink specials. When you come for happy hour you must sit at the bar sometimes you are neglected but the bartenders make the specialty martini or cosmos is my drink of choice and worth the extra money in this spot! This review is purely for the happy hour food and drinks I have yet to taste the main menu!

Wir waren jetzt schon 2. Mal da, innerhalb von 3. Jahren. Immer war das Essen von bester Qualität und sehr sorgfältig zubereitet. Eine Freude sind auch die gut geschulten und freundlichen Kellner. Der Laden ist auch optisch ganz nach unserem Geschmack. Super tolle Bar, wie im alten N.Y. und auch gemütliche Tische für kleine und große Zusammenkünfte. Wir lieben es !! p. s. das Preisniveau ist angemessen,(wie wir finden)

OK — For the first time in my life I simply could not wait to get on Unilocal and let this place have it because from STARTTOFINISH this was the most unbelievabe unmitigated dinner disaster in the last 10 years. Arrive check in 8 of us tonight and head to the bar. The first thing I notice is this place for Saturday Night when all the surrounding restaurants are packed is DEAD. First impression problem. 6 of us saddle up to the bar and order some drinks. NOBODY but 2 people at the bar and the bartender is more interested in carrying on a conversation with the two other guys there then serving or making our drinks. I am not kidding when I say he could care less we were ordering he was babbling to the two patrons checking his phone texts etc in short WESHOULDHAVELEFTTHEN. After finally gettting drinks we sit and are presented the specials etc. we order a very high end bottle of cabernet which takes forever to arrive and NOREDWINEGLASSES are available Are you kdding. Appears they have a small wedding in the private dining room monopolizeing all the staff. wine arrives we move to appetizers… Shrimp cocktail and oysters outstanding got to tive them that. From there everything else was a BURNTHEPLACE down situation. First bottle of wine completed we order a wine plus VINTAGE and the bartender who didn’t bother to care if we were there shows up with NOWINEGLASSESAND the wrong vintage. SENDITBACK… we wait 20 minutes for the replacement bottle… OKWTF are you kidding me… Finally can’t take it any longer and ask for the Manger who is EQUALLY inept from every point of view. Still No wine glasses wine take forever to arrive and well no food. Entrees. PRIMESTEAKS are advertised. I will bet anyone 1K per steak that what was served was nothing better then Horse meat where it still had marks from where the Jockey was hitting it… All 3 steaks go back. Along with 3 sides which were inedible. Fried Chicken 1 steak and a delmonico steak and lobster split for two were good but nothing special. OHYES other bottle of wine still missing when it finally arrives NOGLASSS I QUIT folks. No Deserts or coffee were wanted or tried. So Here is the review. Appetizers Oysters /shirmp very good fresh. Entrees aside from the Fried Chicken Sent back and inedible Sides HORRIBLE — Bake potatoes nuked rest of them simply not worth trying… Service In all my days /nights trips /travel I have never experienced service this bad in my entire life. UNBELIEVABLYBAD Gentlemen — You put the name of a NYC /Washington DC steak house on the place yet its a Bennigans in Disquise. Absolutely horrible from every facet of acceptability. This place will never last and I could care if the servers on down all go bankrupt. DISGUSTING. SAVEYOUR $$$$$$ DONT Spend a dollar here. A 100% disgrace.

My boyfriend and his family came here for dinner on a Wednesday night with reservations at 6:30pm. It was quite empty… maybe because happy hour was just over? The restaurant is very dim so this is definitely a great place to take someone on a date! We had a party of 5 and since we have some meat eaters and wine fans, we opted to get there prefix meal, which is a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine for two people for $ 99. Since there was 5 of us, we got 2 prefix meals and another entrée. What we ordered Appetizer –Field Greens Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette– very refreshing but a little heavy on the vinaigrette. ask for it on the side –Classic New England Clam Chowder– this is probably one of the best clam chowders ever! They definitely do not skimp out on the clams! Very rich, creamy, and chunky. Delicious with oyster crackers! Entrée –Colossal Sliced Prime Aged Porterhouse Steak(40oz) — I am not that big of a steak fan but some steaks can be really tasty. This steak was a little to dry for me, although it was still cooked medium rare, the cut of the meat was dry. –Broiled Aged Delmonico Steak(18oz) paired with Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cakes– Wow, the delmonico steak could not have tasted better! It was juicy, moist, and had some fatty parts(which i like). Perfect balanced with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes! Dessert –Warm Granny Smith Apple Cobbler– This was good but nothing memorable –NY Style Cheesecake with Warm Berry Compote– I love cheesecake so this was a bonus for me! The berry compote adds a different taste to a normal cheesecake. The cheesecake itself is creamy and the crust was soft. Sides –Grilled Jumbo Asparagus($ 9.15) — nothing special. just plain old asparagus. could make it myself(get any other sides besides this… ridiculous price for veggies) –Crispy Onion Strings– YUM! I love anything fried and anything thin! These are super delicious and perfectly seasoned! Since we ordered 2 prefix meals, we just opened one bottle of wine and they let us take the other one home. The staff here seems very professional and well put together. One server dropped their dishes right by us and the plates clattered and the first thing you notice is everyone gets to the scene and cleans up while others are asking us if we were okay, if we were hurt, and just showing concerns if there was anything they could do for us. STRONGEFFORT in showing customer service to you guys! I’d like to come back and try some other items as well. Maybe happy hour for the $ 1 oysters? NOTE: –Clean bathrooms –Happy Hour 3−6pm

REVIEW365OF2013!!! Unilocal365CHALLENGE(LA Style) — Crushed and DeMELished!!! Met up with a few close friends to celebrate the GF’s birthday. I’ve heard of the place, seen it, but never had the opportunity until now. Let’s start with the restaurant itself. I thought that the actual restaurant is clean and loved the ambiance because it wasn’t packed for a Holiday weekend. The menu is just a basic one pager with food on one side and wines on the other. The first thing to catch my eye with PJ Clarke’s menu is the sticker price. Here, you get your choices of different steaks, lobster, fish, burgers, and a few different appetizers. The prices are a bit high, but expected since it’s on the strip and in the Forum. This is a chophouse and their steak and seafood entrees are about what you expect to pay for on the strip. The portions looked just about right too. My gripe about the prices is on their other food outisde of steaks. Everything outside of their steaks were a bit over-priced. I wasn’t in the mood for steak on this visit, so I ended up with their Cadillac Burger(Over $ 20). No frills, above average taste, but not worth the price tag in my opinion. We had tater tots, calamari, and onion strings for appetizers and felt that all three were little on the salty side. Terri R had the Lobster Mac and I thought it was pretty good, but a touch on the salty side too. Service here wasn’t the best. From where we were at, you can hear the chef yelling at that the staff and our server wasn’t the most attentive. First, he took forever to take our order. When our orders finally came in, he just dropped off the food without even asking if we needed anything else. Yes sir, ketchup would be nice with our fries. Please, some dipping sauce for our onion strings would be great. A knife would be perfect with my meal, but I guess a butter knife is all I get. I also got an allergic reaction from my dessert(my fault). All I needed to hinder my nauseousness was some crackers. Our server was too busy chatting with his buds that I had to wave for another server to take care of us. The sad part… our group was big and the tip was automatically added. That means that our server got close to $ 100 for doing almost nothing. Overall, not the biggest fan of PJ’s. All is not lost though. I still had a great time with friends and the birthday girl, Terri R. Happy Birthday to my GP!!! If I could rate the restaurant based on the great time we all had during dinner, it would be 5+ Stars for sure. PS: Read the reviews… seems like Happy Hour is the way to go here. Maybe, I will be back. But for now, 3 stars is all you get, PJ Clarke.

I came here support friend Terri R on her birthday! Along with couple other friends/yelpers. Most part think it was all of our first time here so let the Unilocaling begin. Lol! Honestly one of the first impressions got was had total New York vibe from first step walk into the restaurant too even the exterior design. I felt like I was going into basement or someplace dark for dinner because at times felt like needed more lighting just too read the menu. The whole service staff had the traditional white collar shirts, black tie, and black apron. Really style you see at high end steak house in New York. Too all the pictures hanging on the walls from different perspectives of the city, and the the white paper instead of tablecloth. Too daily specials written on different parts of the walls chalkboard style. If want be in New York State of mind this restaurant has the vibe. The food since big party ordered few different apps so got too try the parmesan potatoes(sure not the exact name), and calamari(one with hot peppers and one without). The parmesan potatoes were really good! I like the balance between the cheese and potatoes neither one dominated the other flavor wise. Nice crispy outside and hot moist inside! The presentation got give props for small cast iron skillet enough too fit six perfectly. The calamari enjoyed both of them. I enjoy spicy food so prefer the ones with the hot peppers. Spice level nothing but still like little extra something added too the depth of flavor. It nice size portion, golden crispy outside, and nice tartar sauce came as compliment dipping sauce. I had clam chowder too start meal. It was solid nothing too brag about but soup that order again in heart beat. My entrée I ordered the fish and chips. I LOVED the batter that the fish was fried in. It was beer batter but also they used nice IPA beer. It had nice golden crispy slightly on the darker side thinking maybe the IPA just cheap beer. Yet it not heavy heavy batter still light and once break the crust the fish steaming hot and moist. The fish size in one monster piece. It covers the plate on top of bed of skinny fries. The shoe strings fries were nothing special. It lot of food. Bargain. Most people come here for HH. I noticed on the menu dollar oysters star of the show but other things on the HH menu too. If look at the regular menu prices the HH might be the best route too go. I could see myself coming back for HH.

I am saving a star until I come for dinner. This is a great oasis for me in the insane flow of a second day in Vegas. I come here and reestablish that I am on vacation and have a bit of time to just enjoy myself. No need to crush in a thousand things. Just relax and have a drink. Slurp an oyster and enjoy some lunch. Be a master of the universe. Conquer a moment as if it were a billion dollar deal. Hit this rare find and know that you did something special.

This is a review of the happy hour. The Skinny: poor execution of American Classics but still edible… I guess(3) service: it’s okay at the bar — we had to get our bartender’s attention quite a few times though(2.5) value: for the price we paid, you’d do a lot better elsewhere(2.5) The hubs and I had to schlep it down to Forum Shops because of a shopping errand for my mom. While we were at it, we decided to hit P.J. Clarke’s for their happy hour. Just to preface, we don’t indulge in oysters so if you’re interested in the $ 1 oyster thing, this review might not apply to you. We ordered the buffalo chicken lettuce wraps($ 7.90), crispy cod pieces($ 9.50), a slider($ 1.50), and the baked macaroni and cheese($ 6.10). I’d say definitely pass on the slider. Too little meat in the burger and of what was there, it was under seasoned. The bun, unfortunately, was hard and had an unpleasant texture. After one bite, we left the remaining bread alone. The buffalo chicken lettuce wraps were odd. I guess if you are looking for a lighter alternative to buffalo chicken wings then perhaps this might appeal. However if you throw in the blue cheese dressing, it might be a wash. The buffalo chicken wraps were essentially diced up pieces of chicken breast — either grilled or sauteed — drenched in buffalo wing sauce and then served with lettuce and pickled cucumber and some carrot curls. Decidedly meh… if you’re craving buffalo chicken wings, these are a poor substitute. The texture of the chicken was overly firm despite the dicing. Although the pickled cucumbers were okay, the whole plate needed more of the carrot and the addition of celery to cut through the heat. The blue cheese dressing was not overly«blue cheesy» and was solid. Baked macaroni and cheese with bacon and peas was okay. The cheese sauce was overly thick, gumming the pasta shells together to make an unpleasant texture. The flavor balance of the dish wasn’t quite right either — there was a little too much bacon and not enough cheese. For the serving size and the cost, I’d skip this one too. The best thing was definitely the fried cod pieces. The batter was light and held well together with the fish. The tartar sauce was good but not spectacular — requiring perhaps a little more acidity to make it more interesting. That being said, you could probably get something like this at a much better price elsewhere. Of note, we did sit next a couple who ordered the chef’s happy hour special of the day which were the ahi tuna tacos. I have to say, it was embarrassing. The tuna tacos were about the size of a taco made for a Smurf(FYI — smurfs are 3 apples tall). I think I could have fit all six tacos in the palm of my hand and consumed it in one bite. Although I did not try this item myself, given the portion size, I would highly recommend against ordering this.(Unless you are a high roller Smurf with money to burn in.) All in all, this meal set us back about $ 30 which is expensive for happy hour specials. Although the food is indeed edible — probably between a level of 2.5 to a 3 star — the value for your money just isn’t there. So overall, I’d say 2.5 stars rounded down to a 2 when you factor in the cost. Avoid if you’re not interested in oysters or drink specials. 2 starred review.

I organized my UYE here and got to hang out with fellow Unilocalers Jade, her boyfriend Scott, Kevin, Molly, Julia, and briefly Anthony. The company was definitely great. We were here for their HH which offered $ 1 Oysters from 3pm-6pm, reduced prices on appetizers and beer, and buy one — get one cocktail of the day. Since it was an organized event we were able to take advantage of the HH items at a table instead of the bar. I started off with half a dozen Crystal Pointe oysters. They tasted incredibly fresh and I knew six would not be enough. Next dozen of oysters were California oysters but I don’t remember the variety name. These were large, meaty and filling. Very delicious and fresh. We were provided with Tabasco sauce in addition to mignonette, cocktail and horseradish sauces. I also had their Cod Bites(picture provided) which were $ 9.50 for two decently sized pieces of battered cod. It was perfectly cooked with great flavor. They also offered $ 1.50 sliders as well. The food and the oysters were fantastic. This is such an amazing deal for FRESH, high quality oysters. The server was friendly and accommodating. The only bummer was their cocktail of the day… it was just vodka cranberry.

I came for Dana’s Happy Hour UYE. Happy Hour is normally served at the raw bar or the alcohol bar from 3 – 6 daily. The main draw is the $ 1 fresh shucked oysters, but there are other treats as well. They have their other bites that are on their happy hour menu(which you can see online on their site, all various prices $ 6 – 9), 2 for 1 cocktail of the day, $ 3 draft beer, $ 6 prosecco. While I knew from signs it was at the bar, we were able to sit at a table. The BF and I chose Lagunitas IPA and Tenaya Creek Hefeweizen to drink since they were included in the $ 3 choices, which is nice as we only drink craft beers. We started off with a dozen oysters which were Crystal Pointe and they were delicious. Lovely, fresh and creamy. We got another 8 and those ones were a different breed, I cannot remember the name but it was double the size and a bit more briny. I know it was a Ca one. Also very fresh and good, but I preferred the first kind. They give you migionette, cocktail and horseradish. They pick the oyster for the HH, but depending on availability I guess it changes. We also got the cod bites which were really delicious. It was 3 small fish filets, but very fresh and fried to a crisp with a solid sauce. Also got a slider each which were good, but standard. They are a decent deal at $ 1.50 each though so I would get some to fill up if you’re making a meal out of the happy hour. Service was pretty good. We got a waiter who was all worried since he found out we were Unilocalers and he was the new guy who just started, but he was good and attentive so nothing to worry there. What he didn’t know, he went to go find out for us. While it was happy hour and a good deal considering the quality, it racked up fast! For top notch oysters this is on the shortlist.

This review is for their happy hour only. Everyday from 2:45 pm to 6 pm, P.J. Clarke’s has a happy hour that is all about the oysters. Available only when seated at the raw bar or drink bar, oysters of the day are freshly shucked for $ 1 a piece! Yes, you heard me right — get your fill of these ocean jewels for a $ 1 a piece! They are served with horseradish, mignonette, and cocktail sauce. Most recently, their happy hour has expanded to include $ 1.50 sliders(that are pretty tasty and decent size) and discounted drinks. On the day we went(01.15), they also offered cod bites($ 9.50), baked mac n cheese($ 6.10), steak satays($ 8.80), buffalo chicken lettuce wraps($ 7.90), and the snack of the day($ 8.40). The snack for that day were bite-size ahi tuna tartare tacos. There were about 7 in an order — again, fits-in-your-mouth-perfectly-size. Drink specials were domestic drafts($ 3) and proseco($ 6). Oyster expert Erick is manning the oyster bar and he knows a lot about the oysters. Chef JB(not BJ) can also be seen there getting his hands dirty with the oysters. On our very last visit, we had a great time with other diners enjoying happy hour and the staff. Good times! When the raw bar gets full, you can sit at the drink bar but it’s just not the same. I’ve tried their serious Bloody Mary’s and it’s a stiff drink that’s filled with lots of goodness. Oyster specials vary each day — I’ve been there for Watch House Point, VA oysters and James River, VA oysters. I can’t remember what the other ones I’ve had were. If I could have it my way, I’d be there everyday!

I stumbled upon another Happy Hour spot on the Las Vegas Strip over at P.J. Clarke’s which is daily from 3pm to 6pm. Their headliners are their $ 1 freshly shucked oysters and their $ 1.50 burger«sliders.» You’ll see why I put quotations there on sliders. I ordered a half dozen of their $ 1 oysters. It really doesn’t get any better than $ 1 oysters at Happy Hour. Who cares what oyster farm they came from because they’re $ 1 each! Nicely sized and pretty good! Now check out PJ’s Famous Sliders Now you know why I put quotations. Sliders? Are you kidding me? To me, sliders are little burgers that you can stuff in your mouth with one or two bites. These suckers were huuuuge! Very tasty and also complimented the oysters very well. It’s almost a steal at $ 1.50 each. Washed it all down with a $ 3 Blue Moon which is another great Happy Hour deal. So all together, half dozen oysters, two sliders, and a Blue Moon came to a whopping $ 12 before tax and tip. Awesome!!! I’d say next to the Prime-time Bites at Palm Restaurant, this is probably one of the best Happy Hour deals on the Strip. I’ll definitely be back for this deal again!

Good food but lost stars for bad service. $ 1 oysters for happy hour, omgah Vegas really is paradise lol. Our table got 53 all together, they were good but some were kinda small. No biggie, I’m still satisfied My friends ordered the calamari, it’s pretty bomb. But it should be for $ 12.00 hahah the sauce is amazing ! We ordered 3 $ 1.50 beef sliders and the waiter brought out four. We told him we only ordered three and our server Amanda came out and gave us SOO much attitude saying«you only ordered three? I could’ve sworn you said four» rolled her eyes and walked away. Our friend coming out from the bathroom said she saw her throwing the dish down in the back all angry and stuff. Total turn off. Like seriously? How unprofessional. Buzz kill for sure.

$ 1 happy hour deals! :) I came here two nights in a row for their happy hour oyster deals. Super fresh, delish & best of all… dirt cheap! The first night we sat at the oyster bar which I highly recommend only because they will put your order ahead of everyone else’s! There were about 15 orders ahead of us(that’s how busy they get!) and we were able to get our oysters within 2 minutes. The second night we decided to sit at the bar where they served alcohol so we can watch the football game on the big screen. Our oysters took up to 15 minutes for each order! I didn’t have a problem with the wait at all since my hubby and I were just chilling and drinking for the night. The oysters are medium sized and shucked once your order is in. It comes with a few side sauces that you can top your oysters with as well. I ordered their crab cakes(which is not on the happy hour menu) and they tasted okay. It wasn’t as meaty as I expected it to be. I probably wouldn’t recommend anyone to order this! If you’re ever in Las Vegas, I highly recommend you come here for their oysters!

Thanks Elisa C. for the tip on $ 1 happy hour oysters. 3−6pm every day, umm YEAH, not bad at all. At $ 1/oyster, you are getting quality stuff. Fresh oysters with a new type of oyster every day. I don’t know what we had, Washington Shuckums or something like that? Either way, they were amazing and worth every penny. I’d skip out on the food and drinks and just get oysters here. I also ordered Parmesan Tater Tots and they weren’t that special – not worth the money. We had 8 people in our party and were given just 8 tater tots dividing it up to $ 1/person for one tater tot, that could’ve been 8 more oysters! Elisa C. raved about the mussels, which I didn’t see on the menu so that’s a shame since she REALLY, REALLY raved about them. Our servers were kind of herp derp. The one who seated us and took our drink orders was nervous as it was his first day, but he did fine. We just wanted water and didn’t make things hard for him. Our main server seemed fluster most of the time and all over the place. Still a good dining experience though, just get the oysters and be happy.

I wished I didn’t have to take two stars away from this place. Just because of their AMAZING daily oyster specials from 2:45pm-6:00pm, I’ll stick with some stars. Service sucked and slow. They should have thought about how many people would come to this place when it’s the freakin’ three day weekend! Yes, maybe some people don’t have their day off for Veterans day, but think about the people who DOES! Ugh Came here with my coworkers and we thought it’ll be nice to eat some daily $ 1 oysters after eating a small dish. The hell with the wait when we ordered our food. The server with short hair that puts it in a bun on the side sucked at serving us. I mean, we know it’s busy, but she did not say much about sorry for the wait or what so ever. Waited 40 mins for our food, then another 40 for our dozens of oysters. I looked over to the oyster bar, only one person was shucking. maybe they’ll make more money if they have more than one or two people shucking??? What the freak man, more customers = more employees should be working! Come on now! At the end, we let the waitress know we just want half a dozen because it’s taking forever. She goes on and tells us ‘Oh i’ll go check on them to see if they already put in the dozens or start yet. There is a line of orders they are working on. Bare with us, we’re busy today’ what the freak lady… more like how about you try to make your customer happy and not wait this long. Because of that, co-worker already said sorry, i’m leaving no tip. Boy did the co-worker made it obvious. Took the bill to a worker and said ‘bring this to your manager’s attention.’ Got our oysters, but didn’t get good service. Bleh

This place has the cheapest happy hour oysters in the city. It’s from 3 – 6 pm everyday I think and they are $ 1 each! They have different types depending on what’s available. Certain drinks are also half off. There aren’t any other happy hour food specials, but there is some other bar food you can order. We got the beef dip sliders(came two per order) and the calamari. With a dozen oysters and a Newcastle each we were actually really full. The serving of the calamari is huge, we couldn’t finish it. The oysters come with cocktail sauce, straight horseradish, and an mignonette sauce. I glanced at the rest of the menu and it’s kinda pricey. Overall we were satisfied. The only thing is this place is all the way at the end of the Forum Shops, so if you’re wearing heels it’s a long walk. It’s by the end of the mall with the curved escalators. If you are walking, there is an entrance directly from the Strip, but if you parked in the structure, be prepared to walk. ETA: Thanks for Nik O. for the tip, there is a valet on that side by Joe’s Stone Crab if you don’t wanna walk.

My latest visit here began inauspiciously as I noticed a little gunk on my appetizer plate. And, although it didn’t strike me until I saw neighboring diners enjoying a basket of bread and butter, we were never offered any. In retrospect my party of four probably had no room for another starch anyway. But I believe we should have been offered the opportunity to decide this for ourselves. Service was otherwise good, except I had to ask for Sweet & Low for my Iced Tea twice. We began with two appetizers: excellent hot Parmesan Tater Tots and a dozen superb-tasting East Coast Oysters on the Half Shell. I made the blunder of mistaking horseradish for garlic, so the delicious cold oysters became quite hot very quickly in my mouth, but I still enjoyed downing several light oysters as a prelude to the hearty meal to follow. This time the Onion Soup Gratinee wasn’t perfect, because the cheesy top was sunk in a bit on one side of the crock. But, with rich beefy broth and well caramelized onions it was nearly so. And, my Iceberg Lettuce Wedge with tasty bacon, tomatoes, and Bleu Cheese Dressing was very good and refreshing. My Surf & Turf consisted of an 8 oz. Filet Mignon accompanied by Red Wine Sauce paired with a Maine Lobster Tail that had been lightly breaded, likely with Old Bay Seasoning. The lobster was good with Drawn Butter but almost overcooked. And the Filet, prepared medium rare as ordered, nicely seasoned, and enhanced by the Wine Sauce, was very good in both texture and taste. My three dining companions all enjoyed their entrees as well. Shared Shoestring Potatoes, Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes, and a generous side of Sauteed Mushrooms just added to a fine repast. For dessert we were going to split a Chocolate Crème Brulee among us, but I soon thought better of it, and privately sought out our server to tell him to charge me for TWO Chocolate Crème Brulees: one for me and one for my dining mates to share. And, at meal’s end, after enjoying the best Chocolate Crème Brulee I have ever experienced, while the rest of my table struggled to finish another, I certainly had no regrets at hogging one for myself. Creamy, smooth, and cool, it was a magnificent close to a fine 2−½ hour dinner.
4−½ stars overall!

I reeeally love oysters on a half shell. When I walked by this place and saw their sign for Happy Hour, I knew I had to come back for their $ 1 oysters on a half shell. Chilled Iced Oysters on the Half Shell for one dollar everyday from 3−6PM.They also have other bar food at HH prices like their Crisp Point Judith Calamari, Tuna Tartare Tacos, Ribeye Steak Sliders… but I just decided to stuff myself with the oysters. I walked around the forum shops and headed back over at 3pm when their happy hour had started. I ordered a dozen and a Fear and Loathing cocktail. The oysters were really fresh and delicious, a light snack… I had actually just eaten at Max Brenner and was still full but I just couldn’t resist the $ 1 oysters. I LOVE happy hour! Everytime I feel like I’m getting a good deal, I just have to get it! Since I only had the oysters and cocktail, this review isn’t that representative of the rest of the food that they serve. Our server was nice, he was shucking our oysters. The Fear and Loathing was a tough cocktail to drink. It was one of those types of cocktails that are so strong and not so easy on the palate. To finish it, I had to take it gulps at a time. It wasn’t that pleasant. The Fear and Loathing was PJ Clarke’s version of the classic long island iced tea spiked with absinthe and energy. I guess I was more intrigued with the absinthe and energy, but I was pretty dissappointed. It wasn’t that pleasant. What made it even more dissappointing was that it was $ 15. I would have rather spent those $ 15 at Fat Tuesdays or any other beverage for that matter. You live and you learn I guess!

$ 1 oysters from 2:45PM — 6PM everyday! After making my huge list for happy hours in Las Vegas, my boyfriend and I picked a few and this one made the list. I’m glad it did and I wish we didn’t order the sliders and the tater tots because I would have given this place 5 stars. The oysters were fresh(one thing that bothered me were the tiny shells in the oysters I had to constantly pick it out of my mouth w/my fingers… bleh gross lol) and with the cocktail sauce and the horseradish it cured my oyster fix. The beers were $ 3(warning it’s in a tiny mug… so I’m not sure if you’re really getting your money worth, but hey it goes well with oysters). The service is also great, we sat at the oyster bar and chatted it up with they employees are they were so friendly: D The sliders and tater tots… ugh it wasn’t great… I would have rather ordered another dozen oysters… all it did was fill us up and not in an appetizing way. Stick to the oysters and beer… trust me.

*Happy Hour Review Only* As if Vegas visitors weren’t SEXED up enough, here comes $ 1 oysters for your aphrodisiacstic pleasure(so good it deserves a new word)! Every day happy hour from 2:45−6pm features a different oyster on rotation. Been here a few times and every bite has always been deliciously fresh. It comes with creamy horseradish, vinegar-shallot or cocktail sauces for your choosing. PJ Clarke’s also offers $ 3 beers and 2 for 1 drink specials for their cocktail of the day, but neither is as good of a deal as the oysters. The beer comes in a mug the size of your hand. Bottom line. When you’re done shopping, take a seat at the bar(oyster or regular) and order a dozen happy hour oysters. Then turn around and say hi to me, because I’m likely camped out there. Added as a MUSTVISIT for my Vegas trips!
