The Urban Oyster has announced it is closing its 1,400 sq. ft. restaurant at McHenry Row in Locust Point. The fast-casual seafood restaurant opened in 2019.

The company, which is owned by its chef Jasmine Norton, posted the following message to Facebook and Instagram:

It has come with extreme difficulty to announce that The Urban Oyster will be closing our doors at McHenry Row on July 26th. We have shared and created great memories from drag brunch shows, karaoke nights, @forestpark_culinary pop up, sip and paint night, fundraisers to trivia night and so many more.

We thank all of our customers new and old for always supporting us. Traveling near and far to partake in the U.S. 1st female black owned oyster bar. This is by far not the end of The Urban Oyster but a chance for us to reset, regroup and return better than ever. We will be posting various dates and locations where we will be conducting pop ups until our new permanent location is determined. Thank you again for your unwavering love and support! We love you B’more.
