| - The Shore Club is beautiful. It's decorated with a dark, vintage feel with old movies playing on their TVs. This is a place of class and sophistication. It's where suited bankers and people over 40 come to talk about their trust funds. It's where my jean-cladded ass feels extremely out of place. Can't help it if my office is super casual and The Shore Club is the nearest source of buck a shuck oysters and happy hour alcohol.
Their happy hour deal is pretty legitimate. Monday to Friday from 4-7pm, no exceptions. You get $1 oysters, $2 prawns, $5 beer, and $7 wine. That's it, simple and easy to remember. Their oysters are on the smaller side but still good for $1. They come with the usual condiments. The beers and wines change frequently but the choices aren't bad. I think for awhile, their beer special was Sapporo. The only other non-happy hour food I've had were fries. Everything else is $20+ and I'm not down to pay that for an after-work snack.
Though I've shown up in jeans, and one time, god forbid, sweats, I've never felt discriminated against here. No matter if you're in a suit or look like a student, I've been provided great service by good-looking servers in a reasonable amount of time. The Shore Club is also technically connected by the Path, so you technically don't have to walk outside (technically, because the Path is horrendous and probably much better to walk above ground anyway).
Another specific mention has to be made for the bathrooms, which feel like they belong in a fancy hotel where they use towels instead of paper towels. If you want to feel high class without paying the high class price, go to The Shore Club for happy hour, take a trip to the loo, and leave feeling a little bit richer. Emotionally, of course, not physically.
