About
This whole thing got started with Oyster Wednesdays at Absolutely Fresh Seafood Market. Every Wednesday night we would offer a variety of oysters on the half-shell and a very small menu to our regulars of the store. Apparently word got out, we began running out of seats!
Shucks Downtown opened in 2012 and is located at 19th & Leavenworth. In addition to indoor seating, it features a wonderful patio out back.
