Boat Bar has featured raw oysters on its menu, usually as part of a small raw bar selection focused on carefully sourced shellfish.[27][29] The distinguishing feature is the combination of oysters with a strong cocktail and wine program, which encourages guests to treat shellfish as an integral part of a night out rather than a standalone snack.[27][29] When the bar is operating, oysters are presented over ice with minimal garnishes, delivering clean brine and a pleasant chew in a compact space.[27][29] Guides mention Boat Bar among oyster-friendly spots with a notable beverage focus, though it has been temporarily closed at times.[27][29]
