The Dog & Oyster is closed today, Sunday, October 11, based on the earlier forecast of heavy rain and strong winds. The safety and convenience of our guests are our top priorities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend for oysters, w**e, and good company! We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another relaxing afternoon in Irvington.

A rainy day in Irvington calls for two things: a delicious bottle of w**e and a great plate of oysters.

Oyster Week VA continues at The Dog & Oyster through today, Sunday, October 4, celebrating the remarkable oysters grown in Virginia and giving back to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation with 15% of oyster sales donated during the event.

Come try our two special additions to the oyster menu: “The Dog and Oyster,” a Nathan’s Famous Colossal Quarter Pound Beef Frank topped with apple butter-Dijon sauce, fried oysters, and Chesapeake remoulade, plus the “Dessert Oyster,” featuring a Sewansecott “Ole Salt” oyster on the half shell with house-made fresh lemon and Petit Manseng sorbet made from grapes grown right here at our micro-vineyard.

The forecast may be damp, but when it rains, we pour. Our large tent is ready, the oysters are waiting, and the w**e will be chilled. See you soon 🥂

Oyster Week VA is here, and The Dog & Oyster is celebrating all weekend long.

We’ll be open October 2–4 as part of Oyster Week VA, with 15% of our oyster sales during the event benefiting the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

And to celebrate, we’re debuting two new oyster dishes that are every bit as memorable as their names:

First, meet “The Dog and Oyster”: a Nathan’s Famous Colossal Quarter Pound Beef Frank topped with apple butter-Dijon sauce, then finished with fried oysters and Chesapeake remoulade. Sweet, tangy, savory, and a little unexpected, it’s a bite with plenty of personality.

Then, enjoy a sweet ending with our “Dessert Oyster.” A Sewansecott “Ole Salt” oyster on the half shell is crowned with house-made fresh lemon and Petit Manseng sorbet, lovingly made with grapes grown right here at The Dog & Oyster Micro-Vineyard. Briny, bright, refreshing, and completely unexpected.

Make October 2–4 an Irvington escape. Sip our Dog & Oyster w**es, savor Virginia oysters, and enjoy a weekend by the water while supporting a great cause.
