Oysters, Wagyu and Whiskey in Polk Gulch


What's old is new again. Which is why you'll want to get reacquainted with Mayes, the newly resurrected oyster house from 1867, opening in Polk Gulch on Wednesday.

Today, Mayes is all spit-shined-up for you and your date—stop in for $1 oyster happy hour, or make an entire night of it. Take over the high-backed chairs by the fireplace and unwind with a few old-fashioneds and a spread of Seafood Louie or oysters or from the raw bar. If this is all a little too old school, you can enjoy some modern-day touches like sashimi and late-night dining, when the lights dim at 10pm and a DJ starts to spin.
