At a glance
Mermaid Oyster Bar Times Square is an oyster-focused seafood restaurant and bar at 127 West 43rd Street in Midtown Manhattan. The venue brings a dedicated oyster-bar format to the Times Square area, with a menu style centred on oysters and a broader seafood offering. Drinks are also part of the experience, making the restaurant suitable for a seafood meal, a drink-led stop or a combination of both.
The setting is a practical choice for dining in central New York, particularly for visitors spending time around Times Square. Lunch and dinner service give the venue a place in daytime itineraries as well as evening plans, while the happy-hour offering adds another option for a shorter visit or an early start to dinner. The restaurant’s bar identity distinguishes it from a standard café or general dining room, while the food focus keeps oysters at the centre of its character.
Mermaid Oyster Bar Times Square can suit diners looking for a focused seafood experience in Midtown, groups planning a meal near Times Square and visitors who prefer a restaurant with both food and drinks. The reservation system includes options for larger parties, so the venue can also be considered for organised group dining. Its location makes advance planning useful when a meal needs to fit around other central Manhattan activities.
For a traveller from the Whitsundays, the venue offers a distinctly urban setting for an oyster-based meal rather than a coastal destination experience. The appeal lies in the clear identity: oysters, seafood, drinks and a Times Square address, presented through a restaurant-bar format. The venue is better suited to diners seeking seafood or an oyster-led menu than to those looking for a broad, all-purpose restaurant style.
Mermaid Oyster Bar Times Square provides a straightforward Midtown option for lunch, dinner, happy hour or a drinks stop with seafood on the menu. Reservations, menu details and arrangements for dietary needs or outdoor seating should be checked with the venue before arrival.
