Seabear Oyster Bar

We met for dinner and a drink before attending an event downtown at the Akins Arena. There was a little wait but it was not bad and gave us a chance to catch up. The food and drinks were delicious but the Crab Cakes were some of the best that I have had in years. I would totally return just for a drink and Crab Cakes. Great experience overall.

Worth the visit for good atmosphere and drinks. Food was tasty but a little salty for our palette. Place packed immediately within an hour after opening on a Saturday when we visited.

Everything was so tasty! Most flavorful dishes we have experienced in a while! The 4 tops inside fill up fast but there is bar & outdoor seating as well. Hosts, servers, & busers are always nearby if you need them. The oysters are smaller than what we are use to but the flavors vary so different state to state. I'm not as much of an oyster eater as my husband but they were delicious! Plus the bill wasn't as much as we were expecting! Great people, food, & atmosphere! Definitely will be back!

Sea bear is a wonderful institution. It’s got a friendly, casual vibe, fantastic oysters, friendly bartenders, and a first class kitchen. Great beer and cocktail list, and a wonderful value.

Seabear Oyster Bar is an absolute standout in Athens. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the oyster selection is always top-notch with a great mix of flavors and textures. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy and lively without feeling crowded, and it’s a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a drink or settling in for a full meal. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Seabear consistently delivers an excellent experience and is a must-visit for seafood lovers in Athens.
