The River Seafood & Oyster Bar

With a sleek and minimalist feel, The River Seafood & Oyster Bar is a neighborhood favorite—and for good reason. Located in the heart of Brickell for over 16 years, the River has a varied selection of oysters from both coasts and offers a modern twist on classic seafood. With fresh, quality ingredients at the top of mind, the key to its fresh success is whole fish purchasing and in-house slicing—a rare and often uncommon secret. However, if seafood isn’t your thing, no need to fret, as award-winning Executive Chef David Bracha says, there are plenty of non-seafood options to choose from. Referred to as a “neighborhood gem,” the River also serves as one of the top happy hour spots in Miami, making it a trendy go-to for busy professionals to unwind. Whether it’s a happy hour, an intimate dinner, or a business lunch, there is something for everyone. And, keep an eye out for the River’s new location expected to open in early 2020.
