Philadelphia
At a glance
Pearl and Mary Oyster Bar is an oyster bar and seafood restaurant serving raw-bar selections, crudo and ceviche alongside cooked dishes, sandwiches and cocktails. Located at 114 S 13th Street in Philadelphia’s Midtown Village, the restaurant places seafood at the center of its menu while allowing room for guests who prefer meat or more substantial cooked plates.
The raw-bar offering gives the restaurant its clearest identity. Oysters and other chilled seafood preparations are joined by crudo and ceviche, creating a menu shaped by fresh, ocean-focused flavors. The broader selection includes sandwiches and dishes featuring both fish and meat, so the experience is not limited to uncooked seafood. This range makes Pearl and Mary suitable for an oyster-focused meal, a mixed seafood dinner or a more casual sandwich stop.
The drinks program follows the same contemporary approach. Cocktails reinterpret familiar classics with an emphasis on refreshing combinations, while the wine selection leans toward crisp flavors that pair naturally with oysters, raw seafood and other lighter dishes. Happy hour is offered throughout the week at the bar and oyster bar, providing a separate way to enjoy the restaurant’s drinks and seafood-focused setting.
Weekend mornings bring brunch service, adding a daytime option to a restaurant otherwise associated with afternoon and evening dining. Brunch gives the menu a different rhythm while keeping Pearl and Mary’s food-and-drink focus in place. The restaurant’s combination of oysters, raw seafood, cooked plates, sandwiches, cocktails and wine can suit diners looking for a dedicated seafood meal as well as groups with varied preferences.
Pearl and Mary works best for guests drawn to oyster-bar dining, chilled seafood preparations and drinks designed for pairing. The setting also suits a relaxed meal centered on sharing seafood selections, although the menu includes enough variety for individual orders. With its Midtown Village address and seafood-led menu, the restaurant offers a focused destination for raw-bar dining, evening drinks, weekend brunch and casual meals built around fish, shellfish or meat.
