Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar, Seafood restaurant with oyster bar in Glendale, Colorado.
Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant with an oyster bar located on a rooftop in Glendale, Colorado. It serves sustainably sourced fish dishes and fresh oysters alongside craft cocktails with views over the surrounding area.
The restaurant was founded in the 1990s and became one of the first in Colorado to commit to sustainable fishing practices. This dedication to responsible sourcing has defined it ever since.
The restaurant brings seafood culture to a landlocked region, introducing locals and visitors to fresh oysters and fish-focused cooking in a setting that feels removed from everyday dining. The rooftop space has become a gathering spot where people come for the maritime atmosphere.
The rooftop location means weather conditions matter, so wear appropriate footwear and check forecasts before visiting, especially during windy or rainy days. Booking ahead online is helpful, particularly on weekends when the space fills up quickly.
Skilled oyster shuckers work at the raw bar, showcasing different oyster varieties and sharing information about where each comes from. This hands-on interaction makes the bar feel like a learning experience rather than just a place to order food.
