it’s more of a bar that serves oysters and other happy hour type stuff, kinda hipstery. I don’t care for all that much. You aren’t missing anything Oysters at Luke are fantastic and they have a pretty varied menu otherwise. It’s a John Besh restaurant, but casual
Gotcha. Thanks

It’s of the most overpriced restaurants in the city. Spare yourself.

Its much more upscale and hip for someone like yourself. You've laid out your preferences in here, and Seaworthy would not fit that criteria at all. Luke might be too nice for you as well. Drago's is definitely more your self-described wheel house This is not a criticism, everyone likes what they like, you've made it very apparent you prefer hole in the wall type of places
Nah, I get it. No criticism or offense taken. We hit some upscale places some, then some dives some. This trip is more of a dive mood but Luke looks interesting so may hit that. Been to Dragos too, along w/ Acme, Commanders, etc. Just looking for something different. Culinary wise we are all over the board. Just depends on what we feel like. Thanks.

I'm typically rather sensitive about steering people to places that obviously wouldn't "fit" them for how they come across in their requests. I sort of roll my eyes when I see people do that.
Guy specifically asked for an oyster bar and seemed to indicate he sort of looking for a rather "hole in the wall" type places that he might not otherwise know about, within walking distance of where he is.
Seaworthy's oyster happy hour would seem to fit the bill there.
Is it a bit "hipsterish"? Sure. If he wants to grab a dozen oysters and a drink close to where he's staying, and at least get the feel of eating at a "hole in the wall" it's sort of hard to argue it's not the best option available for him. The hipsterish bartender is not gonna bite. Maybe he will give an eyroll. Who knows? Just chuckle, enjoy the oysters, and move on.

i think you should go to Luke. its very good and close to you. i wouldn't call it a hole in the wall vibe or dive vibe though. Its casual, but nice casual.

Please explain the hate. It's a spot where I can get raw oysters from across the US and I've been there a handful of times.
