  Stopped off here after reading the CATFISH FRIDAYS banner for the last few summers and finally made it to see what shivelys is all about. 37 Beers on tap, fried food, cowboys, and horse shoes, all in a small hangar looking sheet metal building. I am super impressed, dig the fried food, dig the epic beer selection, dig the location and more than anything, this place feels like central california. Super legit.

  The "bartendress" you all are referring to is a sweetheart.  The bartender gets the five stars!

  It is a tradition for me (and whomever I'm with) to stop at Shively's on the way to Pinecrest, which I do once or twice a year.  I stopped by for lunch last Friday.
  
  A bit of background on Shively's.  It is a rustic place from the outside but clean on the inside.  There are an impressive 40 beers on tap.  Grub is great but is is almost exclusively fried or grilled.  The locals are generally rural blue collar but they don't seem to mind urban folks like me stopping by on my way to the high Sierras.
  
  My favorite menu item is the Ortega Bacon Cheeseburger with onion rings.  Their fries are excellent as well.
  
  When at Shively's on Friday my wife and I encounted some major attitude from the bartendress.  She was putting on a major flirt with the guys at the end of the bar but took her time approach us to ask us what we wanted to order.  Fortunately, this has not been my experience here in the past so I won't let one employee on a Friday afternoon diminish my opinion of the place.
  
  A couple of things to be aware of.  The kitchen closes at 2:00 on Friday afternoons so they can prepare for their Friday evening catfish fry.  They also only serve beer and wine.  
  
  Check Shively's out.  It's a classic joint.

  OK so I have been back here like 3 times after the 5 star review and every time since they have been out of things. No jalepeno poppers, no Blue Moon, no Coors Light, no cider, OMG WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
  
  We went one time and there was no FOOD AT ALL! The bartender said, "I can make you a grilled cheese sandwich, cause the cook is not here." I am never going back it was just disappointment after disappointment.
