A candlelit cocktail bar with an oyster habit
Hotel Delmano is the antique-mirror, marble-bar cocktail lounge that helped set the template for Williamsburg date-night drinking. Tucked on a corner of Berry Street, it’s all flickering candlelight, vintage fixtures, and a serious raw bar — a room built for martinis and conversation rather than a scene.
The draw at happy hour is the raw bar: $2 half-shell oysters alongside $2 off cocktails and beer, in the early-evening window before the room fills. Pair a dozen with a martini and you’ve found one of the better-value date nights in the neighborhood.
The Happy Hour
The happy hour centers on the raw bar and a discount on drinks:
- $2 half-shell oysters — à la carte, from the seasonal raw bar
- $2 off cocktails and beer — knocked off the early-evening pours
- Weekday, early evening — the quiet window before the candlelit room fills (times have shifted, so confirm)
- Martini + oysters — the classic Delmano pairing, and the reason to come early
Times have moved around over the years, but the $2 oysters and the drink discount are the dependable part.
The Drinks
Delmano is a cocktail bar first — a thoughtful, classics-leaning list built around well-made martinis and stirred drinks, plus wine and beer. The bartenders take the craft seriously, and the room rewards lingering over a couple of rounds.
The Raw Bar & Food
An exceptional raw bar specializing in seasonal oysters anchors the food, alongside a short menu of small plates and bar snacks meant for sharing over drinks. At happy hour, the $2 oysters are the headline.
The Room
Antique mirrors, marble, candlelight and vintage fixtures make Delmano one of the most atmospheric rooms in Williamsburg — it photographs beautifully and feels like a hidden parlor. It sits at 82 Berry Street near North 9th, a few minutes from the Bedford Av L.
