Denver might be landlocked, but this St. Patrick’s Day, seafood lovers have a reason to celebrate.
On Monday, March 16, Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood is serving up a festive twist on the holiday with 99-cent Shamrock Shells at both its Cherry Creek and Lone Tree locations. The one-day special features East Coast oysters for just under a dollar each — a rare treat for Mile High shellfish fans.
The pairing of oysters and stout has deep roots in Irish culinary culture. In the 19th century, British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli famously praised oysters with Guinness as the ultimate celebratory meal — a match made by the briny richness of fresh oysters and the roasted malt depth of the iconic stout.
Guests can experience the classic duo firsthand during the all-day dine-in special, pairing freshly shucked oysters with a pint for a St. Patrick’s Day moment that feels both indulgent and tradition-steeped.
What makes the deal even sweeter? The oysters are sourced daily from the restaurant’s own Blue Island Oyster Farms in Long Island, New York, ensuring some of the freshest seafood served in Denver. For oyster lovers and beer enthusiasts alike, it’s a festive excuse to raise a glass — and a shell — before the big day.
