Shorty's Place

Reviews & Tips

  Shorty's Place was a great spot.  We go to Port A every year and have never missed hitting up Shorty's nearly every night.  The owner, Ms Rose, past away in 2011 and the place is now owned by family.  I don't know if Shorty's is open anymore.  =(

  You like dive bars with character out the a**?  This is the real damn deal.  A must for those seeking off the beaten path!

  (note: I accidentally posted this for the wrong yet near by place with the same name. Trying to fix as this was a great place!)
  
  My first impression was this place is owned by an organized hoarder.  The ceiling is covered in dingy caps and there is a wall with everything pig (stuffed animals, ceramics, spam cans etc).
  
  This bar is pretty small inside. The doors and windows are opened in the evening, making the live music on the patio more than audible.  They didn't charge a cover at the door and had an awesome band playing.  There is one employee and they stick behind the bar so if you want to order, you will have to get off your happy butt and order it from the bar.
  
  With cheap drinks, relaxed vibe and good music, this was easily my favorite bar in Port A so far.
  
  Tip: Bring cash, it's the only form of payment excepted.

  This bar is like something you would see on Travel channel.Oldest and friendliest the sign reads. It is exactly that established in 1946. Down to earth casual neighbor bar. There are Koozies above the bar for the regulars. When you look up your amazed to see tons of hats hanging from the ceiling. I had to ask how it all got started. The story goes when the owner died someone hung there hat beside her picture. Then from that time forward people have Hung there hats out of respect. The Bartender said they have people come in looking for their Grandpa or Dads hat they hung years ago. It is only a beer bar and only excepts cash. A place ya got to see for yourself.

  Shorty's is a great old family run dive bar right off the marina in Port A. Cheap beer, a great jukebox, cheap pool tables, and quirky regulars -need I say more......
  warning - cash only and doesn't have a full bar
