Culver City, we’ve loved getting to know you!

As a project that originated in 2018, we couldn’t ever have anticipated how COVID would change all aspects of this industry. We turned the lights on and opened this location with no indoor/outdoor dining options, pivoting to a to-go only model for a product that is best enjoyed on site. 

We are proud to have made it through these challenging years, always putting the well-being of our team and guests first. We’ve always championed quality sourcing, and committed ourselves to the best output we could manage in just under 300 square feet. We’ve had a good run and A Jolly Good Time. 

Our last service will be May 26th, 2024, so come raise a glass with us before we go. We’d love to see you back with us once more to slurp oysters, stock up on tinned seafood, sip wine, and experience everything we have to offer. The specials board will still be rotating and the sake will be cold!

-The Jolly Crew ❤️

We’re headed back to this Sunday! Serving up Peruvian purple scallops, Mount Lassen Trout Tiradito and of course, oysters! Come say hi! Sunday February 4th 1-5pm 🍷 🦪 🐟 wine🥂

Culver City’s menu is always rotating! With constant inspiration from the farmer’s market next door, ask the team what’s new!

An update from us on the Norovirus cases. As always, guest safety is our number one priority.

Working with a sustainable natural product is our greatest joy but it comes with hurdles! We will keep you updated as always. It’s a great time to come support our beverage program and additional menu items. Ventura will be open this weekend. We love our guests so much. You’ve seen us through a pandemic, opening a restaurant with no indoor or outdoor dining options, invited us to cater your weddings and birthdays. This too shall pass. Thank you for your concern and support!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Don’t forget that The Jolly Oyster is available for all of your 2024 event needs! Dates are already getting snapped up fast.

Last year we were so honored to be a part of weddings, milestone birthdays, engagements, music festivals, activations, intimate plated dinners, and more!
