The bartenders are my favorite in town: knowledgable and friendly, happy to chat (or not chat if you prefer), and with almost no turnover in the 10 years I’ve been coming here.
If I’m not checking out a new spot downtown, I’ll usually post up at the bar at Jax and order a refreshing Cucumber Lemon Press and some oysters.
They have $2 oysters during happy hour, as well as some of the best gumbo in town (or gumbo fries).
The deals: $6 cocktails, $8 wine, $1 off draft beers, $4 Odell Colorado Lager, $2 oysters, $5 cup of gumbo, and lots of other bites under $14
