The background of National AJ Day

In 2019, A.J.’s Seafood and Oyster Bar established National A.J. Day. Since 1984, they have been serving chilled oysters from the Gulf of Mexico.

A.J.’s Seafood and Oyster Bar was originally a popular gathering place in the Destin Harbor. They were renowned for their fresh oysters and lager. The restaurant has since become an iconic “hot spot.” They have expanded to four locations along the Emerald Coast of Florida, offering the freshest seafood, best live music, and most thrilling water activities in the Destin region.

The four venues reflect the neighborly atmosphere of their locations. Each has its own atmosphere and personality, but they all strive to provide the finest live music, the freshest seafood, the tastiest raw oysters, and the coldest beer along the Florida coast.

Destin Harbor was the original location. A.J’s Oyster Shanty is located on Okaloosa Island, A.J’s on the Bayou is at the base of the Cinco Bayou Bridge in Fort Walton Beach, and A.J’s Grayton Beach is located in Grayton Beach. A.J’s Grayton Beach is the newest member of the A.J family and was voted one of 30A’s Best Live Music Venues.

A.J.’s Seafood and Oyster Bar also conducts tournaments like the Annual Destin Fishing Rodeo and operates A.J.’s Water Adventures, which provides daytime dolphin cruises, sunset dolphin cruises, sunset sailing cruises, snorkeling, and more.
