You can find oysters just about everywhere. The best of the bunch, however, are served at these top-notch places around Singapore

Powered by the summer sun and a vibrant energy, our city hums back to life after a brief, sheltered existence. Welcoming us back with open doors and a cool drink in hand are our favourite local establishments who beckon us to come out of our shells for some freshly-shucked oysters.

Here are seven bars and restaurants that serve up the best half-shells and libations to wash them down with.

Known for their tea-finished spirits and cocktails, the expansive rooftop bar fronted by the same crew behind FOC and The Other Room makes it worth heading out for some fresh air again. Pick from the expansive cocktail menu, and order oysters for S$1.50 each all day long on Sundays and Mondays.
