Elm Square Oyster Co.

Elm Square Oyster Co. is a vibrant seafood restaurant nestled in the heart of downtown Andover, Massachusetts, on the corner of Main Street and Post Office Avenue in the historic Musgrove Building. This modern New England eatery has earned recognition as the Best Gastropub on the Northshore, thanks to its innovative approach to seafood and American cuisine. Chef Michael Sherman artfully blends local and seasonal ingredients to create what he describes as "New" New England cuisine, with every sauce, seasoning, and condiment made from scratch in their dedicated kitchen. The restaurant partners closely with local fishermen, farmers, distillers, and brewers to deliver an authentic dining experience that celebrates the region's culinary heritage. The bar features an extensive American bourbon selection, carefully curated wines from American and international vineyards, small-batch spirits, and locally crafted beers. Guests can enjoy oyster happy hour every Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 to 7 PM, featuring $1.49 chef's choice oysters on the half-shell with three house-made sauces. Live music performances, including appearances by Jim Felker, add to the lively atmosphere. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner, with the bar remaining open until 11 PM. Reservations are recommended and confirmed via email.
