The Salty Oyster

The Salty Oyster, or the Salty Oyster Bar, is a bistro located in Grand Central Depot of Emporia. It was one of the places for the wealthy upper class of Columbia to get a drink and relax after a long day of work or shopping.
==BioShock Infinite==
When Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth first arrive the doors are locked and needs three lockpicks to open. Once inside, they find a few Founder Soldiers hiding inside from the chaos taking over the district.
===Bar===
The bar is directly on the left of the entrance with several bar stools and the cash register. Behind the counter is two tables and a shelf, containing a large supply of alcohol among which one will find a bottle of Salt and a gramophone. The kitchen door is locked.
===Dining Floor===
The dining area is on the right of the entrance on a lower level. There's a total of four tables and all of them contains some food/alcohol and/or Silver Eagles. Two tables have some supplies under them, and one of them has a Gear. In one of the corners are some trunks and a lockpick and in the other a Minuteman's Armory vending machine.
===Bathrooms===
Some stairs from the dining floor leads to the bathrooms. A Kinetoscope is set up in the hall, between the doors to the separate bathrooms, about Robert Lutece arriving in Columbia. The men's bathroom is in a bad condition, with a leaky sink and garbage on the floor. The women's bathroom is in much better condition and someone has stocked some supplies in the corner, containing; A RPG and its ammo, a Pistol, some Silver Eagles and even a Silver Bar.
===Kitchen===
After visiting Founders Books, they learn that the owner of the bistro "kidnapped" a girl called Sally from Ronald Frank, locked her up in the Oyster's kitchen and that the door will unlock by pressing a button found under the register. Booker and Elizabeth, intending to rescue the woman, follow the instructions and enter the kitchen only to find that the "girl" is just a piece of erotica. Elizabeth will comment on how they risked their lives for a piece of paper, while Booker jokingly mentions how he might know the girl in the poster, to which Elizabeth gives a sarcastic "of course" reply.
But their journey was not pointless: The Kitchen is filled with goods for the player: A Lockpicking Kit, an Infusion, a Voxophone and a new Vigor with the name Return to Sender.

==Behind the Scenes==
*The secret button underneath the cash register will only appear after the player has picked up Ronald Frank's Voxophone "Sally!" in Founders Books.
*The song heard on the gramophone is "Makin' Whoopee" by Rudy Vallée.Makin' Whoopee on Wikipedia
*"Sally" is based off an advertising programme for the Alhambra Theatre.
*Inside the Ladies' Room there is a toilet that contains two edible potatoes. This was placed in there by developer Shawn Elliott as sort of a meta commentary about things like food being found in absurd places in video games.What virtual toilets can teach us about the art of game design on PC Gamer
