Bar Crudo

Chef Melissa is the shit. Sit at the back bar and just keep ordering. Everything is amazing. Bring a shitty Tinder date here. The food is so good the bad date is worth it.

For the price you pay here, I’d expect it to be a somewhat upscale place in terms of both service and food.
The food is ok.
The service however is atrocious. My friend and I both selected some 12 dollar /​glass wine called «Toscante» (most likely only worth $ 10 /​a bottle at most). They did not let either of us try it before bringing out our filled glasses, but we shrugged it off and resumed talking about nothing. I took a few sips of my wine and noticed that the glass was completely covered with dust on the inside and there was a thin film of dust on the wine with three very noticeable large specks. I called the server over to let her know there was a lot of dust in my glass and in the wine and she said «Let me take care of that for you.»
A few seconds later they bring me a clean glass WITH THE SAME FUCKING THREE PIECES OF DUST IN MY WINE. They simply poured the trashed wine into a new glass and served it right back to me.
Avoid this place unless you want to pay $ 65+ /​person and be delighted when you find out the chef marinates your seafood in the toilet.

Wonderful happy hour. Get there early though. Went on a weeknight and line was already almost around the corner at 4:40. We got a nice table upstairs luckily. People standing farther back in line were eating standing along the walls near the bar which looked uncomfortable. Oysters and chowder were outstanding (didn’t try anything else). Decent draft selection. Service was quick (probably because they were trying to turn tables but who cares?!).

Excellent place. So friendly and clean I’m from out of town and stumbled upon it.
I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

My favorite spot in my neighborhood. Fantastic happy hour fish tacos, oysters, seafood chowder, wine and beer. And hands down the best lobster beet burrata salad I’ve ever had. Yes yes yes yes yes.

We came for happy hour on a Friday. The place was pretty packed and the only spot immediately available was a standing table across from the bar. We ordered ½ dozen muscles, chowder, and tacos. Plus beer and red wine from the HH menu.
I’m taking one star off for the muscles. I love muscles but these were small, cold and the dressing on them was very oily. The flavor profile didn’t really work for me. But the tacos and chowder were amazing. My boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about the soup after we left. Beer and wine were respectively good as well. It was a great place for a quick early bite to start off the weekend. Would recommend preparing ahead for happy hour or dinner since the space is small and popular.

I enjoyed a very quick meal at the bar here with my partner, before catching a show last night across the street at The Independent. The Gruner was just the right complement to the melt-​in-​your-​mouth scallops crudo and perfectly-​seared trout — we will be back!

ok, I was skeptical when we sat down. i was very hungry, and these bites of raw food seemed questionable to me as words on the menu. however our waitress was very knowledgable and passionate about the menu so that made me loosen up and get excited to try some things. we started off with some very large beers and a bottle of champagne to celebrate my bf’s mom in town & my new job (he’s the best).
then we got several different oysters that were all really good and flavorful without any sauce — but they did offer a delicious vinaigrette. on to no shellfish for his mom, we got a crudo sampler i think? they were all incredible.
for entrees, his mom had the whole fish, which was unreal. a bit tedious with the bones, but worth it. i had the roasted crab. the sauce that it’s in with bread is to diiieeee for. and my bf got the trout. also amazing.
ended dinner with a nice port. and our waitress brought us some incredible truffles after the check to finish off our meal. we will totally be back. im a super fan now. and from other reviews i read, ill have to try and snag a happy hour spot one day too!

This place is a really good seafood bar. This is a trendy place to get seafood and as such it is a bit cramped. The oysters at happy hour are of course not the highest quality but they are only $ 1 each. They do offer the higher end options on the regular menu as well.
The crudo sampler is amazing! It is truly the star dish I tried. I only wish it was offered as a dinner portion.
I did not try any main courses as we only stopped in for appetizers.

One of my favorite happy hour places to get your seafood on. I came here for happy hour on a weekend and at ten minutes before it opened there was already people standing in line waiting! Luckily, my boyfriend and I got seats right away.
They are a wide range of selection of seafood and their happy hour is super worth the buck! $ 1 oysters definitely caught my eye! We ordered:
Dozen Oysters and Mussels: Fresh! So worth it also.
Uni Toast: LOVED IT! Can’t go wrong with uni and avocado spread
Steam Clams: Fresh and delicious, great with bread.
Crudo Sampler: Had Arctic Char, Scallop, Tombo Tuna and Butterfish. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Arctic Char, it was topped with cream cheese and wasabi roe, we ordered a separate plate of these. Scallops were decent, topped with a pea sauce and citrus peel. Tombo tuna was good, the sauce was even better. Butterfish was very smooth and creamy!
Overall, LOVE this place, would definitely come again soon!

I really wanted this place to be good. Came in for the happy hour and I ordered:
The seafood chowder — good. I felt like it got better with every bite. But I think is also depends what kind of sea creatures you eat as that will determine the flavor and texture of each bite. It is rich (a lot of butter) but tasty.
6 oysters — okay. The oysters were fresh and sweet, but felt the sauces were a little too acidic. Maybe I needed 1 sauce at a time. Very possible, but felt the sauces over powered the oyster itself.
Uni toast — okay. To be honest I didn’t know what to expect. The bread was good, uni was very good, and guacamole was good all separately, but not together. The guacamole was too acidic (too much lime) and strong in flavor. I couldn’t taste the uni at all. The bread was toasted but could have had a nicer crisp. The uni was wonderfully fresh, sweet, and nutty. But when I bit into it together, everything was mushy and all I could taste was guacamole. Then the salad that came with it was way over salted and limed! Blah! What a waste of good piece of uni.
I love the concept of it all, but I think they wasted the delicate seafood by drenching it with salt and lime. I wouldn’t go back.

5 stars for their happy hours from 5 – 6:30 pm! I loved their $ 1 oysters and mussels. Surprisingly there was no wait on a Sunday around 5:30 pm. There were several open tables on the second floor.
The oysters are large and fresh but my favorite was actually the herb and jalapeño marinated mussels. They were so flavorful and delicious, definitely try those! We tried the seafood chowder ($ 7) which was good but didn’t stand out to me like the mussels. The serving size was also on the smaller side.
Overall check out this place for happy hour!

A great happy hour with fresh seafood. Tried everything on the HH menu and the mussels are out of this world. It gets very busy so get there early to secure a spot! Love the hustle and bustle while munching down in delicious food and cheap cocktails!

Bar Crudo is great place for a first date. It is clean and hipster, and with alcohol. It is, however, not a good place to go for dinner, as all plates are tiny. We ordered Crudo Sampler, Uni Avocado Toast, Seafood Chowder, and Branzino. All dishes were decent, but left still us somewhat hungry. We ended up heading over to Bi-​Rite Market to pick up more food.
1 star off: Plates are tiny. You will feel like a giant on a diet.
1 star off: The bread was terrible (stale and cold). Bar Crudo should work on its carbs, especially to go with the chowder.

This was pretty good. I don’t know if it’s a must try in SF, but I enjoyed the meal. I love raw fish, I love seafood — so worked for me! All the ingredients used were fresh/​quality items and prepared well.
We tried the crudo (which means raw) sampler. My favorite was the butterfish. The fish was very good quality, but not all the other ones combo-​ed with the fish as well as the butterfish. The seafood chowder was actually probably the best seafood chowder I’ve had. There were so many pieces of seafood in it and they were not overcooked (as you would think it would be stewing in a chowder). Very heavy though so I can’t have a ton of it. We got a couple other items that were all great quality wise, but not omg I have to get it again: Roasted Crab, Tuna confit. Total for two came out to be around $ 130 with tax and tip.

I’m not sure why it took me so long to discover this gem of a place tucked in Nopa right on Divis.
The $ 1 Oysters and Marinated Mussels were a steal, and we barely even scratched the surface with the happy hour menu.
The mussels ended up being my favorite dish from the happy hour menu, bathed in a chili jalapeño marinate that was fresh and unexpected. Spritzed with a dash of lemon, the spice was accentuated and divine.
We opted for the Tuna Crudo after HH ended, which paired well with the bread which we used for dipping. As a salty-​tooth, I’m always up for fresh fish eggs on my tuna, and the sauce made the perfect dipping sauce.
Come here for an intimate date night, or for a post-​work HH from 5 – 6:30.

Came here for the uni avocado toast! They’re so good. only complaint is that I wish they were bigger. Oysters were very good, fresh and tasty. Lobster beet salad had burrata mixed into it and I would highly recommend this dish as one of the starters as well. After cold we had to have the hot. the clam chowder was very flavorful and has a kick of spiciness which I really liked. Clam chowder was just okay in my opinion, overall great dinner!

I dined here for my birthday and was glad I chose this spot. The ambiance was charming and intimate, perfect for date night. I highly suggest you make a reservation before coming here.
Portions are very small, but they focus on quality and flavor. We started out with the Miyagi Oysters from Tomales Bay. Ask for a side of horseradish. They’ll hand you a ramekin of grated dry horseradish which pairs well with your oysters. We also had the seafood chowder. SO GOOD! It had chunks of fish, mussels, squid and shrimp. The chowder was very creamy and flavorful. Make sure you ask for bread so you could dip it into your soup.
The uni toast was okay. The uni could’ve paired well with other accompaniments. They used sourdough for the toast topped with avocado. Whatever sauce they used, it was too sour and overpowered the buttery taste of the uni. The upside was that the uni pieces were big and fresh.
Now onto the crudo. We tried every crudo on the menu.
Scallops with soubise, pickled corn, chili and chive blossom — Good, but the toppings kept falling off when picking up the scallops.
Kampachi with salmorejo, castelvetrano olives and orange oil — My least favorite. I’m a huge fan of kampachi, but the accompaniments didn’t enhance the flavor of the fish. If anything, I’d switch out the olives and the rock salt.
Tombo Tuna with citrus, fennel, picked peppers and black tobiko — Refreshing combo. It was served in a small bowl, allowing the fish to soak up the citrus sauce.
Arctic Char with horseradish crème fraiche, wasabi tobiko oil and dil — My favorite crudo. It tasted like lox, minus the bagel and capers
Butterfish with gala apple, pink pepper and rosemary oil — My second favorite. The butterfish was delicate and delicious.
They also have a great happy hour!
$ 1 oysters and mussels,
$ 6 clams, seafood chowder and pan seared shishito peppers & boquerones
$ 10 rock cod tacos
$ 4 beer
$ 6 wine

My girlfriend Melissa took me here for my birthday dinner. This place is very small so don’t be bringing large groups of people but for 2 or 4 people it’s fine. The parking is pretty hard but that’s to be expected in the city. The prices are definitely on a higher side. We ordered cup of chowder — great flavor. Oysters — very fresh and great tasting mignonette. Sample appetizer and everything tasted very good and fresh.
I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves seafood.

Cheap Happy Hour.
Came right at 5 for the happy hour specials. Got the $ 1 oysters, seafood bisque, as well as a platter of crudos and the fish tacos. Oysters were good, per usual, but found some shell remains within the flesh. Soup was super flavorful but a bit on the salty side. Crudos were good, tasty, slightly pricey. Fish in the tacos were extremely charred, which I didn’t mind. Overall, tasty.
I felt like I spent much more than intended because I was lured in here for the $ 1 oysters but felt obligated to fill up on other things as well. Anyways, would still recommend for cheap oysters in the area.

As a Bostonian, I’m all about a raw seafood bar. We came here yesterday evening for some $ 1 oysters and wine. Both were fantastic!
What a concept! I’m so happy that somewhere in history, a person decided to crack open these suckers and decide we should make them into a fine delicacy. I must say, the oysters aren’t very meaty, so I would definitely be liberal with how much you order.
I love the little nooks where you can stand and enjoy happy hour. It would be a fun place to go on a date I would say!

So, a few months ago, i FINALLYYY convinced my boyfriend to try raw oysters so he wouldnt think theyre slimy and disgusting anymore. And he ended up absolutely loving them! BUT, after that, he went on a manhunt for some damn good happy hour $ 1 oysters so he could eat to his heart’s content.
After this recommendation from lots of his friends, we decided to come try it out after a knocking back a few cold ones at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. We ALMOST didnt make it to happy hour because parking is horrendous, but we slid in 15 minutes before it ended.
We gotttt:
–A dozen oysters: gives you a good amount of small and big oysters. These are a bit sweeter than the ones weve had before. fresh and sooo good
–Half doze marinated mussels: i liked these because it had a very asian-​y flavor to it. Had a slight kick from the jalapenos, which i loved. I also added a little lemon on top. These are also served cold.
–Manila clams: MMMMmm these were delicious and warm! They are soaked in their white-​wine goodness, kind of salty but amaazing. you can smell and taste rosemary and sage.
–Seafood chowder: Creamyyy and had a great aroma. I loved this because it was hot and soupy and a great contrast from all the shellfish. Dip the bread they give you into the soup! also really good. My boyfriend and i did notice that the little chunks of fish are a bit dry, and has a huge ratio compared to the tiny amount of squid/​mussels/​shrimp though. He actually only got fish in his.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! The vibe upstairs (only about 6 small tables) is romantic and date-​y. It has dim lights and a really cool lamp hanging from the ceiling. Downstairs is more of a mingling vibe, with a bar that you can eat at, a couple tables when you walk in, and these little nooks that you can stand at and order food. It may look like just a stand for plants and décor, but ive seen people have menus and food brought there.
This place is a must try for Happy hour. And if youre done eating, the neighborhood is cute and has lots of places to walk around.

Une carte de vins vraiment très sympa. Des produits frais. De l’eau parfumée au concombre. Une sorte de bouillabaisse locale délicieuse.
Une super petite adresse décontractée et très branchée.
Attention aux prix qui tapent !

Cute little spot for your seafood fix! They have a really great happy hour from 5 to 6:30pm. $ 4 beers and $ 1 fresh oysters! YUM!!!
I made an online dinner reservation for a weekday which was super easy. I got to the restaurant early to try out their happy hour and luckily my friend was able to make to the restaurant before the happy hour ended so we both got to take advantage of the good deals.
We shared the following off the happy hour menu:
2 dz oysters, ½ dz mussels, a cup of seafood chowder and rock cod tacos
The best were of course the oysters. The mussels were drenched in butter which is normally a good thing but I thought it was just ok. The seafood chowder was good. It had a lot of good chunks of seafood in it. It was a bit on the heavier side so its definitely nice to have a lot of bread to soak this up. The rock cod were tasty. I appreciated the fish to be grilled and not battered. These were kind of expensive though and it was $ 10 on the happy hour menu for 2 tacos.
We also shared some items from there regular dinner menu:
uni-​avocado toast and crudo sampler for 2 which consisted of artic char, butterfish, tombo tuna and scallops.
The uni avocado toast was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting a whole piece of toast but we had two small pcs of toasted bread with the avocado smear with uni. All the flavors were very distinct. The uni was pretty fresh but the avocado tasted more like guacamole. It was tasty but I wouldn’t order this again. The sampler was a great way to try all their fresh fish bites. All of the bites were ok, the tastiest crudo has to be the scallops. Soo fresh and it had bits of fresh corn on it. Yum!
All in all, it’s a great spot if you are craving seafood. I highly recommend this spot for $ 1 happy hour oysters!

Heard about Bar Crudo’s happy hour and was excited to finally get to check it out before a concert nearby. Arriving at 6pm, we were able to score a table in the upstairs dining section. The happy hour menu is good between 5 –6:30pm and consists of six food items, a beer and a red and white wine choice.
Oysters on a half shell (order by half dozen/​dozen) ($ 1/​ea) — the Hama Hama oysters from Washington are a smaller oyster with a slight briny taste. Paired with either their vinaigrette or cocktail sauce, they were delicious. They are $ 3.50/ea on the regular menu, what a deal!
Manila Clams with red pepper flakes, sage and white wine ($ 6) — the clams were perfectly cooked and the white wine sauce was delicious. Perfect for sopping up the house French baguette.
Cup of Seafood Chowder ($ 6) — consists of fish, mussels, squid, shrimp, potatoes, bacon and cream. It was tasty and had a little spice to it. Wished it was a little thicker.
Rock Cod Tacos ($ 10) — with salsa, guacamole, pickled onions, and cotija cheese. Cod was nicely grilled and with the accompaniments, it was delicious.
What a great happy hour at Bar Crudo! Great food and friendly service. Glad I was finally was able to try it and I’ll be back.

Großartiges modernes Seafood Restaurant in SF. Das Prinzip ist ähnlich einer Tapas-​Bar man bestellt zu zweit ungefähr 5 – 6 unterschiedliche Gerichte. Zur Auswahl stehen warme und kalte Speisen aber auch Suppen und Salate.
Austern gibt es schon für einen Dollar ;-)
Die Weinkarte ist sehr gut und bietet auch preiswerte aber sehr gute Tropfen.
