Local Love: Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar | High West Oyster Fest

National Oyster Day is August 5th and as a way to celebrate, Boulder’s Jax Fish Bar & Oyster House is celebrating in style. It also happens to be the establishments 30 year anniversary, and they’re making it an event to remember. This National Oyster Day, August 5th, join them for their 1994 Oyster Happy Hour from 4-6pm with throwback prices. That means $0.50 CrackerJax Oysters, $10 Jax 30th Anniversary Martinis, and more! Since opening their doors, they’ve shucked over 7 million oysters, and on Monday August 5th, they’ll shuck 700 oysters at each Jax location, at 1994 prices to honor this milestone.

Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar in Boulder is the first one to open, operating on Pearl Street since 1994. Consistently voted "Best Seafood" wherever they land, Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar has been serving up the freshest, most sustainable seafood in Boulder and beyond. They're not just a fish house—they’re your spot for a good time, where you can always find fresh, creative dishes and a fun vibe. Inspired by the classic fish houses of the East, West, and Gulf coasts, Jax brings the coast and its delicious menu offerings to the coastless. They were the first to be certified by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, a leader in the global sustainable seafood movement- that a huge honor! If you haven’t been, you need to change that quickly. It’s truly one of the best places in the city to get high quality seafood and spirits.
