- From my guide, updated September 2026.
Ama Raw Bar is an Asian-inspired raw bar serving some of the best happy hour oyster deals in the West Village ($1.25 a pop!). As far as drinks go, you’ll find $11 cocktails (don’t sleep on the lychee martini) and a handful of beers and wine. There’s also $11 champagne, which is the perfect accompaniment to the oysters in my book.
My adviceAsk about their daily specials. They rotate frequently and are usually some of the best things on the menu.
