The best oyster bars in Boston, according to the experts: AAA, The Infatuation, and The New York Times have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Neptune Oyster comes out on top.

Rank 1. Neptune Oyster
Oyster Bar
The shucker in a blue apron working the window display is a fixture at this North End seafood spot, where oysters rest on crushed ice behind the glass like a slow-motion invitation. Inside, mosaic tile, white marble, and red leather banquette make a narrow room feel considered rather than cramped. The day's oysters are listed on a small card; the wine list leans European coastal. The New York Times put it on their restaurant list, and the line outside most nights explains why.
