No. 12 Thirteen oysters and two drinks for $33. Daily 5-7 PM.
Bad Luck Bar
Bed-Stuy. 492 Nostrand Ave.
Works out to roughly a dollar an oyster with the drinks effectively free. Red lighting, horseshoe marble bar, fills fast. The Infatuation calls it the best oyster happy hour in the city, though that verdict is about the whole package rather than the oysters specifically. When the deal ends at 7, the pan pizza is the move.
Two blocks from Selune.

Fish Cheeks
Thai seafood, NoHo. 55 Bond St.
Five hours, seven days, starting at noon. Longest window in the city. Priced by the dozen rather than the piece, so it doesn't read as a dollar deal, but per-oyster it lands near $1.85. Bond Street is dead in the afternoon, so the wait is far shorter than it will be at 7. The surrounding Thai food is the real reason the room is good.

Blue Points, which is a Long Island oyster already on the standouts list. The Infatuation reports both East and West Coast on the happy hour board, which is more choice than anything else at this price. Cash only, though there's an ATM inside.
This is the only entry between Bedford and Jefferson, so it fills the middle of the L on its own.
