About this venue

Strange Delight is contemporary take on the classic oyster bar, located in Fort Greene in Brooklyn. Strange Delight takes its influence from the cuisine of New Orleans and is also inspired by the rich history of oysters in New York. Its menu, from Chef Ham El-Waylly, consists of regional seafood prepared in a variety of styles: Charbroiled Oysters and Shrimp Remoulade share the stage with classic seafood towers and Oysters Rockefeller. To drink, Strange Delight updates New Orleans classics, serving a festive Hurricane and Ramos Gin Fizz service for two, alongside your standbys - Martinis and Sazeracs. Our wine and beer lists feature our favorite American producers. Strange Delight is a unique venue, ideal for a number of types of events: from cocktail hours to rehearsal dinners, birthday parties to record releases, we're here for your parties to come.

    I love to recommend Strange Delight to couples for various wedding-related events. Engagement parties, bridal showers, wedding welcome parties, micro-weddings, after parties, and farewell brunches, just to name a few. Their space is thoughtfully designed, adorned with unique fine art that nods to it's New Orleans roots. It's colorful in a way that offers a decorative backdrop to the ever-so-cool minimal event. The bar and food programs are creative, fairly priced, plentiful, and so delicious. It's conveniently located to many Brooklyn landmarks and transportation, making it a true Brooklyn restaurant wedding venue. Their team is wonderful to work with, offering genuine hospitality - there's no doubt your events at Strange Delight will be unforgettable!
