We met for dinner and a drink before attending an event downtown at the Akins Arena. There was a little wait but it was not bad and gave us a chance to catch up. The food and drinks were delicious but the Crab Cakes were some of the best that I have had in years. I would totally return just for a drink and Crab Cakes. Great experience overall.

Everything was so tasty! Most flavorful dishes we have experienced in a while! The 4 tops inside fill up fast but there is bar & outdoor seating as well. Hosts, servers, & busers are always nearby if you need them. The oysters are smaller than what we are use to but the flavors vary so different state to state. I’m not as much of an oyster eater as my husband but they were delicious! Plus the bill wasn’t as much as we were expecting! Great people, food, & atmosphere! Definitely will be back!

Sea bear is a wonderful institution. It’s got a friendly, casual vibe, fantastic oysters, friendly bartenders, and a first class kitchen. Great beer and cocktail list, and a wonderful value.

Seabear Oyster Bar is an absolute standout in Athens. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the oyster selection is always top-notch with a great mix of flavors and textures. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.
The atmosphere is cozy and lively without feeling crowded, and it’s a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a drink or settling in for a full meal. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Seabear consistently delivers an excellent experience and is a must-visit for seafood lovers in Athens.

Oysters from a variety of locations, professional presentation. Small inside, so best enjoyed when the outdoor seating will be comfortable. Well-trained staff, deep in numbers, so patrons never want for anything. The lobster rolls were delicious.

Seabear is hands down the best of the best in Athens. A true gem for anyone who appreciates fresh seafood, top-tier cocktails, and a menu full of thoughtful, well-executed dishes.
The oysters are always impeccably fresh.
Small plates and entrees are clearly crafted with care — everything feels intentional, from flavor to presentation. It’s the kind of place where you want to try a little bit of everything, and you never regret it.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Seabear should be at the top of your list

A bustling spot with amazing food and drinks. The oysters are incredible and don’t miss out on the lobster rolls. They get crowded and don’t take reservations, so be patient (it’s worth it).

Delicious food, huge wine list, specials daily, and nice atmosphere. They got 4 instead of 5 stars from me, since it’s a fairly small space and they don’t take reservations. They still did a good job trying to accommodate our party and they do have an outdoor space as well, which might be helpful. I wished for more vegan options (there was only one–avocado toast) but the few vegetarian options they had were delicious.
