Shaw's Crab House Chicago

Supposedly, legendary lover Casanova ate 50 raw oysters every morning as an aphrodisiac. Shaw's Crab House has been the authority on the briny bivalves with the sexy rep for years with its annual Oyster Festival - the best shucking time of the year. Shaw's celebrates it's 31st Annual Oyster Fest from Oct. 1-31, 2019 at both the Chicago and Schaumburg locations. It's a month filled with new oyster-centric dishes, fried chicken and oyster roast dinners, oyster happy hours, and roaming shuckers. During October on Wednesdays In the Oyster Bar, enjoy rare boutique oysters presented and shucked tableside. Shaw's offers plenty of other choices when you open the menu: lobster, sushi, King crab, and a boatload of seasonal swimmers from Atlantic Yellowfin tuna to Ecuadorian Mahi Mahi. Enjoy bubbles by the glass, a sturdy Manhattan and desserts big enough to share. The ambiance is warm, woody and retro.
