    They close at 9pm on Saturdays. If you come later than 8:30, it's too late to grab a table. No worries, order take out & have a tamarind margarita while u wait. Get smoked tuna fries to go too :)

    TJ Oyster Bar fancy huh?!?There is a tv! Bar staff here are super friendly. Same yummy food with more of a sit down restaurant feel. I prefer the bar over the tables because of the quicker service.
