Deux Chats runs a daily happy hour until 6pm — $1 oysters and its $13 house martini — at a candlelit, Belle Époque cocktail and seafood bar under the Williamsburg Bridge.
The deal runs daily until 6pm (Sundays from 3pm): $1 oysters and the house “Deux Chats” martini for $13 (the rest of the cocktail list runs $17–21), plus a beer-and-shot combo. The martinis are the headline — clean, well-balanced, even gin skeptics come around — and the oysters are properly briny with a better-than-average mignonette. It’s a genuinely good seafood-and-cocktails happy hour in a beautiful room.
Deux Chats: $1 Oysters and Perfect Martinis in Williamsburg
Deux Chats is the candlelit, Belle Époque cocktail bar under the Williamsburg Bridge — “a neighborhood bar serving perfect martinis and oysters,” and it means it. The daily happy hour until 6pm is the play: $1 oysters and a $13 house martini in a vaulted room of distressed mirrors, tiger-print couches, and a hand-painted mural of two cats under the moon.
About Deux Chats
From Golden Age Hospitality (the Le Dive and The Nines crew), Deux Chats takes its cues from Parisian lobby bars and cafes — emerald motifs, antique couches, a long wooden bar, and a centerpiece tile mural of two cats playing under a full moon framed by the Williamsburg Bridge. The menu splits into Fruits de Mer and Les Petits Plats: East and West Coast oysters, seafood plateaus, salmon crudo, shrimp cocktail, escargot, and a lobster roll, alongside martinis built every which way (dry, dirty, extra dirty) and a few inventive cocktails.
The Happy Hour in Detail
Daily until 6pm (Sundays from 3pm):
- $1 oysters — briny, with a better-than-most mignonette
- House “Deux Chats” martini, $13 (vs. $17–21 for the rest of the list)
- A beer-and-shot combo (Kronenbourg + Fernet)
It’s a daily deal, which is rare for oysters this good, and the martini alone is worth the trip.
What to Order
The house martini — a clean, brine-forward gin build — and a dozen $1 oysters to start. From there, the celery-brine dirty martini with sherry and vermouth is a standout, and the salmon crudo (cut thick) and cheese fries are the snacks people come back for. Going bigger? The seafood plateau makes a statement.
The Space & Vibe
Dark, intimate, and classically NYC — candlelight after dark, a living-room feel, and a soundtrack that keeps it warm. It’s a date-night room first (every date feels like a first date, per the bar’s own line), and it fills up fast even on weeknights, getting loud when packed. Walk-ins are welcome, but a reservation is smart for a table.
The Williamsburg Angle
27 Broadway in South Williamsburg, right by the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge. The J/M/Z at Marcy Avenue is closest, with the L at Bedford a longer walk. It sits a touch off the main Bedford drag — a little less sceney than its sister bars — and pairs naturally with a walk along the South Side waterfront or Domino Park.
