Fresh, briny, perfectly shuckable oysters are brought in just for you—and we’re serving them up at our cost: only $1.75 each (an incredible deal)! Pair them with a crisp County wine or a cold local craft beer, and take in the waterfront views while you slurp, sip, and savour. It’s the perfect midweek ritual: oysters, drinks, and vibes that feel like summer—no matter the season. The Local Social House – Waterfront dining, local pours, and your new Tuesday tradition.

Join us every Wednesday evening for Midweek Mussels at The Local Social House, overlooking the Moira River in Downtown Belleville. We feature fresh, East Coast mussels, served by the pound with your choice of three house-made sauces: a classic Garlic & White Wine, a warm and aromatic Thai Coconut Curry, or a bright and comforting Pomodoro. Each order comes with grilled bread for dipping and a small arugula side, making it a cozy, satisfying midweek meal. Add a glass of wine or a side of frites to make it the perfect night out. Midweek Mussels is designed to feel welcoming and relaxed — a chance to slow down, share good food, and enjoy great company by the river. Whether you’re catching up with friends, planning a date night, or simply treating yourself, we’d love to have you.
