Oyster Crawl 2025 Menu
Stop 1: 4:00 - 5:30 PM - Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum
2401 Atlantic Avenue We will ease into the evening on the front porch of the charming and historic Coast Guard Station, now home to the Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum. Stop 1 will feature the LOC raw bar and a new mignonette making its debut. We will see you on the front porch. Enjoy the Lynnhaven's finest as you take in views of the boardwalk, beach and ocean. Ask our hosts for a tower tour! ($10 per person additional cost) We have organized a van service to shuttle guests between stops. A 30-minute transition is built into the schedule. Please pay attention to the time. We recommend catching the shuttle on the front end of the 30-minute transition window. We have two 15-passenger vans which will make two round trips each between stops.
Lynnhaven Legend Oysters*
Enjoy your oysters with tonight's featured mignonette and a complimentary beverage. This season is very unique for Lynnhaven oysters. Today's oysters will start off salty on the palate and have a complex mineral finish.
Lemon-Cilantro Mignonette
This lemon based mignonette will pair extremely well with today's salty oysters.

Stop 2: 6:00 - 7:30 - The Shack
712 Atlantic Ave At Stop 2, find us in the N.East corner of the open-air restaurant in an area called "The Bus Stop" where we will have a private area reserved.
Oyster Shooter
We will continue the raw bar with a special oyster shooter presentation. Presented in either shot glasses or chirirenge spoons, raw oysters are paired with LOC's highly prized homemade ponzu and chopped green onion. Even though this is called a shooter, this is not something you just want to toss back. Chew and let the flavors unfold!

Butter-Bacon Compound
We will be leaning on the kitchen at the Shack to bring you a baked oyster topped with a classic butter compound including bacon and chives.
Stop 3: 8:00 - 9:00 - Murphy's Irish Pub
2914 Pacific Ave As we finish out the evening, we complete the crawl with oysters from Murphy's raw bar. Guests are welcome to stay past the end time of 9:00 and enjoy the evening further. NOTE: The van service at this point in the evening will no longer be available and will not be available to transport members home. The van service is only active between the stops and will discontinue after members transition to stop 3.
Back to the Raw Bar!*
Close out the evening how it started: raw. We will have some of the mignonette from Stop 1 and a selection of hot sauces.
Stewed Oysters
A classic comfort food, look for the self-serve oyster stew station and serve yourself a bowl. Garnish with oyster crackers and a few dashes of hot sauce.
