Hello!

I am looking for a Restaurant/Oyster Bar that I was in about a year ago that I believe was on Illinois dircectly across the street from the Hampton Inn (33 W. Illinois). It was an old restaurant and when you walked in, the restaurant was on the left and the bar was down the hallway on the right. It has been in operation for many years. They had the best bloody mary’s and you could watch them shuck oyster right at the bar. They had old-fashioned bar stools like those you would find in an ice cream parlor and the decor was dated back to the 60’s. Very cool place that I would love to visit again, if I could only remember the name of it.

Please help

Thank you in advance! Celeste Szymanski
