Eat Fish. Live Longer.
Consistently voted one of the best restaurants in Boulder, Jax has served up the freshest, most sustainable seafood and fish the ocean has to offer since 1994. The cocktails are boozy, the oysters are briny, and the seafood is always fresh. Jax is noisy, vibrant, fun, smart and totally devoid of pretense.
Jax proudly supports Zero Foodprint, a James Beard Award-winning company that aids local farmers, sustainable agriculture, and working towards a zero carbon footprint.
