Shortstop Lounge

Ohh Shorties. I cannot say enough about this bar. It is a great dive bar. Probably the only true dive left on the Street Of Dreams (Madison Street) since Horan's turned into duckfat.

My uncle showed me this bar a few years ago..I usually stuck to the bars where everyone goes...Osullivans, Doc Ryans....etc. I got sick of them, and he showed me the glorious blue awning of shortstop. They have good bartenders, and the best deal on the street of dreams, the mason jar of beer. $3.75 will get you a mason jar of pretty much any of the domestic beers on tap (I suggest Schlitz or Pabst to ensure dive greatness), but you can also get stuff like blue moon or whatever.

Even when the place has a population of 4, you can still have a great time. They have a bunch of tvs playing all of the sports games, and they have a good juke box.

I highly recommend checking out this place.

My first ever bar crawl down Madison ended here, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.  Because if your last drink of the night isn't a Bud Light out of a mason jar, you live a life of deprivation.  Especially for the incredibly low prices they have.

Be here at the end of the night. It's only right.

Shortstop is a complete and total dive bar. It's dark, sort of dingy, smells funny and there is almost always only dudes in here ranging from the very young (possibly underage) to the very old (on death's doorstep) but HEY it works out for us ladies in the end! lol

If getting your drinks purchased by creeps isn't your go to move you'll be pleased with their super reasonable beer prices.  I was pleasantly surprised by the range of beers they serve here and was thrilled when I noticed they carry Wild Turkey Honey (only true dive bars have the Turkey on hand!). My gf is also a huge fan and has taken to drinking from mason jars ever since she was served her Blue Moon in one.

This bar is definitely not the worst place on Madison Street to get silly at.

And if you are into pool or darts they host league nights that appear to be pretty popular.
