A little pricey and I hate lines, beat that by going just after they open as it is the lunch crowd who tend to line up here, but very good Oysters & crab cocktails.
I refer happy hour at Maye's a few blocks down Polk, its much easier on my wallet also.

This place rocks, apart from the lines that is. You may be waiting for a while but the end results are worth it.
I suppose that's why people line up in the first place which of course is always a good sign.

Best & only oyster bar of its kind that I know off in the city.
The only draw back is the lines out the door but thats due to the size of the place & the fact the food is so good. It's a little pricey but well worth the cost & effort.
Go early if you can to avoid the lines.

A beacon in San Francisco, this is the best seafood bar in the city hands down, I'm just lucky enough to live a block from it.
The Shrimp Cocktail is a favorite of mine as are the Oysters on a half shell. Its a little pricey but you get what you pay for, also be prepared to line up, since there is only 19 seats along the bar & its a narrow interior with no standing room never mind extra tables.
But then again, standing in line is a tradition here so go with the flow.
