Eat the Rich is an oyster bar created by James Beard Award nominee Derek Brown and award-winning oysterman Travis Croxton of Rappahannock River Oysters. Featuring both local oysters and a Chesapeake Bay-centric menu, Eat the Rich is a tribute to the great oyster houses of Washington, D.C. and Mid-atlantic cuisine. We also serve pitcher cocktails and oyster shooters alongside a playlist of rock–the place is named after a Mötorhead song after all.
Eat the Rich focuses on local oysters and seafood. We are, of course, only a short distance from the largest estuary in North America. The kitchen is helmed by chef Andrew Clark and features great Mid-Atlantic dishes. The bar serves an array of classic cocktails, as well our signature pitcher cocktails and oyster shooters.
We are a great place to bring groups of people, eat, drink and listen to great rock music. This isn't your typical oyster bar.
Come on, baby, Eat the Rich.
