The event calendar at the SLU Whole Foods. Beer vendors don’t lie.

On Tuesday, November 18, the Westlake Whole Foods resurrects its oyster happy hour—a screaming deal that’s actually worth standing in the inevitable long line to attain it.

From 5 to 7pm, freshly shucked Barron Points go for $0.69 apiece. The bar in the front corner of the store does a few beer specials, and you can grab a bottle from the wine section and drink it without a corkage fee.

The combination of labor-intensive oyster shucking and that 69-cent price tag means people start queueing up at 4:30, and the crowds are akin to what might happen if Paseo reopened and dispensed free sandwiches via salmon cannon. So come prepared and bring a friend to lay claim on a table while you wait.

Oyster happy hour will return on the third Tuesday of each month for the duration of oyster season.
