Seamore's Lobster Shack
7.7
Seamore’s Lobster Shack inside The Hungry Pearl food hall is a bar-anchored counter where East Coast oysters, shrimp cocktails, and lobster rolls pair with a short list of beach-leaning snacks and cocktails. It functions as the seafood and drinks hub of the hall, turning post-work trivia nights and casual meet-ups into something closer to a low-key seafood happy hour.
