What is a Raw Bar?
In simple terms, a raw bar is a counter that serves raw shellfish. However, a raw bar is so much more than a counter. The purpose of a raw bar is to offer the customer an experience where live shellfish are shucked and served straight to you. We all know that farm-to-table revolves around fresh produce, so a raw bar is our version catering to shellfish.
What's on the Menu
Raw bars typically offer a variety of raw and cooked seafood and shellfish that is served cold. Here are a few options that Summer Shack has to offer at our raw bars across the various locations.
Raw Bar
Our raw bars offer jumbo shrimp cocktails, tuna sashimi, various select oysters, and the tower of power which includes eight oysters, eight littlenecks, four shrimp, and two oyster-tuna sashimi. Get the most out of your raw bar experience by visiting for weekly specials such as Maki Mondays, BOGO Oyster Tuesdays, and Date Night Thursdays!
