What Laura A likes about Bubbly Mermaid Oyster Bar:
Apollo’s restaurant was more fun than we could’ve asked for! It was private seating which made the whole experience very intimate, allowing time to speak with the owner and pick his brain on anything and everything oysters. What was meant to be a one hour dinner turned into over three hours of amazing and innovate food, and even better conversations. I felt as though I’d left anchorage for a classy European ambiance... View all feedback. What Miguel Kerluke doesn't like about Bubbly Mermaid Oyster Bar:
I was really excited to try this place while in anchorage as the pictures looked great! Unfortunately, we did not get the chance to try as they are apparently on a reservation by text only status currently. It is unclear why and it is not stated on their Facebook page. We walked up to the door and were greeted by a somewhat rude man who opened the encounter with “I’m with a booking right now.” I was totally confused... View all feedback.

Bubbly Mermaid is a cozy gem located just off 4th street that offers a unique experience combining oysters and champagne. While the reservation process may be a bit disorganized, once you're in, you can expect a lovely evening. The private party bookings and pre-paid experience may have some kinks to work out, but the oyster shots are recommended. The atmosphere is unbeatable, the champagne selection is excellent, and the oysters are very tasty. The owner's knowledge is apparent, and it's a great spot for a romantic date night or to learn more about oysters. While there may have been some negative experiences shared by a few reviewers, overall, the general consensus is positive, with most patrons eager to return for more oysters and champagne at Bubbly Mermaid.
