Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is a renowned family-owned and operated seafood restaurant located in Portland, Oregon. With a rich history spanning five generations, this establishment is a must-visit destination for both seafood enthusiasts and history buffs. The story begins in 1907 when Louis C.

Wachsmuth, a seasoned seafarer, established the restaurant. Growing up working on their family oyster farm in Oysterville, Washington, Louis and his brothers developed a deep passion for seafood. After retiring from the oyster business, Louis opened a seafood store and later acquired the food bar from the famous Merchant's Saloon, renaming it Louis' Oyster Bar.

Over time, to accommodate the growing number of patrons, Louis expanded the restaurant, adding dining rooms with distinctive sailing ship interiors. Today, the restaurant continues to preserve its maritime heritage while offering a delectable menu. From piping hot oyster stew to fresh oysters, shrimp, lobsters, and a variety of fish, Dan & Louis Oyster Bar serves up the finest seafood delicacies.
