On Monday, March 16, Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood in Denver is serving up 99-cent "Shamrock Shells" - East Coast oysters - at both its Cherry Creek and Lone Tree locations. The one-day special pairs the briny richness of fresh oysters with the roasted malt depth of Guinness stout, a classic Irish culinary duo.

Why it matters

As a landlocked city, Denver doesn't have easy access to fresh seafood, making this a rare and affordable treat for Mile High oyster lovers. The special also taps into the tradition of pairing oysters with stout, which has deep roots in Irish culinary culture.

The details

The 99-cent oysters are sourced daily from Blue Island Oyster Farms, the restaurant's own oyster farm in Long Island, New York, ensuring some of the freshest seafood served in Denver. Guests can experience the classic oyster and stout pairing firsthand during the all-day dine-in special.

  • The 99-cent "Shamrock Shells" special will be available on Monday, March 16, 2026.
