72 Market Street Oyster Bar and Grill was a popular Venice, California restaurant founded in 1983 and launched by Tony Bill and Dudley Moore.

[1] The small restaurant was a celebrity hot spot which received attention for its food as well as an in house radio talk show and lecture series.

The concept for 72 Market Street originated in Bill and Moore's desire for a casual fine dining eatery in the beachside neighborhood where they both lived.

[4] A lectures series began in 1985,[5] which featured guests including Spalding Gray,[6] Bill Irwin,[6] Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko,[7] John Hammond Jr.,[8] and sleight-of-hand artist Ricky Jay.

[2] In a 2017 post on a Venice Beach community forum, Tony Bill was cited as saying that the restaurant will open in its original place following the closing of Nikkis.
