Atlanta’s dining scene is about to get a taste of the Big Easy with the highly anticipated grand opening of Blake’s Oyster Bar.
This new seafood and Creole restaurant, inspired by the vibrant flavors and swampy atmosphere of New Orleans, promises to be a standout addition to the city’s culinary landscape.
When Is Blake’s Oyster Bar Opening in Atlanta?
Blake’s Oyster Bar is set to open on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, according to the restaurant’s post on social media.
Located in the heart of Atlanta, Blake’s Oyster Bar is the latest venture from the owner of D’Juan’s New Orleans Bistro, which we wrote about when it opened in 2023. The Vinings eatery brings authentic Louisiana cuisine to local food lovers.
The new Atlanta restaurant aims to capture the essence of New Orleans with its menu, ambiance, and hospitality, offering a unique dining experience that blends Southern charm with coastal flair.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Blake’s Oyster Bar to Atlanta,” said the restaurant’s owner in a recent statement. “Our goal is to transport guests to the bayous of Louisiana with every bite, whether it’s our fresh oysters, Creole-inspired dishes, or the lively atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in New Orleans.”
What’s On The Menu at Blake’s Oyster Bar?
The menu at Blake’s Oyster Bar will feature a variety of seafood dishes, with a focus on fresh oysters sourced from regional waters, alongside classic Creole and Cajun staples. Diners can expect offerings such as oysters on the half shell, hearty gumbo, jambalaya, and other dishes that highlight the bold flavors of Louisiana cuisine.
The restaurant’s “swampy” aesthetic, complete with New Orleans-inspired decor, aims to create an immersive dining experience that pairs perfectly with its menu.
The grand opening event on September 17 is set to be a festive affair, kicking off at 5:00 p.m. with live music, special menu tastings, and signature cocktails that reflect the spirit of the Crescent City. Guests are encouraged to come early to secure a spot, as the event is expected to draw a crowd eager to sample the restaurant’s offerings and soak in the lively atmosphere.
Blake’s Oyster Bar is poised to join Atlanta’s growing roster of seafood destinations, following in the footsteps of establishments like Alici Oyster Bar and The Optimist, which have helped cement the city’s reputation as a hub for oyster lovers. With its unique New Orleans-inspired concept, Blake’s is expected to attract both locals and visitors looking for a fresh take on Southern seafood.
The restaurant is located at 510 Fairburn Rd SW Atlanta, GA 30331. Here’s a map to help you find it.
