Jax proves you can get excellent seafood 1,000 miles from any ocean. Fresh oysters flown in daily, a raw bar that rivals coastal spots, and a happy hour that packs the house. It's been a Boulder favorite since 1994.
Jax Fish House
Rocky Mountain Oyster Bar
The Raw Bar
Oysters from both coasts, changed daily based on what's freshest. The shuckers know their stuff and can guide you through the selection. Start with a dozen and work your way through the crudo and ceviche options.
The Kitchen
Beyond the raw bar, Jax serves excellent cooked seafood. The fish of the day is always well-executed, and the classics (lobster rolls, fish tacos, cioppino) are reliable crowd-pleasers.
Happy Hour
The happy hour (4-6pm daily) is legendary. Dollar oysters, discounted drinks, and a lively bar scene. Arrive early—it gets crowded fast.
Pro Tip: The bar seats are first-come, first-served and put you right in front of the shucking action. Dollar oyster happy hour fills up fast—arrive by 4pm for a seat. Ask your server for the freshest catch.
