replying to u/michaelcerasnose: Honestly if your standard is chambers for quality of BTG list you're going to be hard pressed to find spots with good glasses at that price. I think you should get a bottle and take it home. Or - try ten bells?
“Ten Bells is basically the only other place I can think of anywhere in the city approaching the QPR of the more affordable BTG stuff at Chambers thanks in large part to the carafe deals on the stuff they keep on tap. A carafe of their Domaine de la Patience house white on a hot day really hits.”

replying to u/IvenaDarcy: I eat them weekly for happy hour at places that advertise the price like Mermaid Inn and Ten Bells and never got sick.
“last time i went to ten bells they were really nasty (tiny, dry, and tasted funky), lots of floating shit in the water carafe too. felt lucky i didn't get sick, won't ever return for oysters.”
