Shirby's Pub

I was a fan of Shirby's Rib Shack when I was young and have been a regular at Shirby's Pub ever sence I reached that glorious drinking age.  I'm going to keep it short and sweet here.  Shirby's Pub is a hometown community pub.  Every time I go in, I run into a handful of old friends, so I am always in good company.  Hell, I ran into an old childhood friend that I hadn't seen seen in 8 years one time.  I've grown to know and love all of the staff, and have a true sense of home when I am there.  The drinks are well priced, and everything on the menu is good.  Be sure to try the pork shanks, which aren't on the menu.  They are to die for.  There is plenty to do there inclucing: pool tables, table shuffleboard, and darts.  The bar is very open with plenty of space (that doesn't mean it doesn't fill up on the weekends), and being an Irish pub, has a dark green glow to the place which I have come to find pleasantly familiar.  Monday's are DJ trivia, Tuesday pool tournaments, Wednesday karaoke, and Thursday live bands.  Weekends are busy enough by themselves.  It is tucked away out of eyesight, which keeps it local and holds it to it's community feeling.  Everyone is there to have a good time, and I have never had a bad experience.  Trust me, I've been more times than I count.  It is always my first stop when I'm coming back into town, and my last stop when I leave.  Shirby's Pub is something I truly miss about my hometown, so I owe it the justice of adding it to Yelp and preaching the truth.
