Quick post today. Catch Chef Dimitrios shucking some clams and oysters Friday nights this summer at the new raw bar on the patio of The City Beer Hall. The menu will be rotating to keep things fresh, with two different types of oysters, scrimp cocktail, clams and a little something else at the chef’s whim, from crudo to soft shell crabs to whatever else he can get his hands on. I stopped by with some friends last Friday for a quick bite:

Riptide and Summerside Oysters

Littleneck Clams on the Half Shell

Shrimp Cocktail

Red Snapper Crudo with Cured Raspberry and Pickled Hop Shoot

The City Beer Hall has one of the best patios in Albany and the raw bar is definitely worth checking out. Now only if I could sneak my dog in with me…
