Ours is the Oldest Pub in the county. The Ugly Oyster was built in Yorkshire England by Traditional English Craftsman. It was disassembled, transported and reconstructed by those same craftsman at it's current location. The authentic Celtic atmosphere projects feelings of warmth and welcome.

Savor our kitchen's brilliant grilling recipes for USDA Prime Steak and the freshest catch of the day. Our chef's unique flare is a pleasure not to be missed. The bar, of course, is stocked with more than 80 beers from all around the world. And the Guinness is always tapped to the strict specifications of Arthur Guinness Himself.

Filled with the life of an easy spirit, The Ugly Oyster is like no place else. It's a unique dining and social experience.
