But I'm always hopeful. My second is typically something on a big cube. Pours are good. Service is friendly. The night we were there, karaoke was in play. As one might expect, some better than others. Overall, a good night as expected. Then we bounced over to Rock Bottom for live music.

This will be added to our repeat list . So,let me tell you about the food. This could possibly be the best shrimp po boy I've ever had, with sweet potato fries. YUM! Also enjoyed the smoked brisket quesadilla with some cold beers, complete with coozies. And, bonus, across the street is the super cool , Seaman's Memorial Tower, dedicated to the local shrimpers and sailors who lost their lives to the sea. Very inspirational, and worth checking out.

Leave your dogs at home if you don't want dog fights, if you have been beat up by the sun and wind all day, maybe fast food is a better choice for you and if you are in a hurry, again fast food may be the choice for you. We had an excellent experience. Our server, let's just call her Mari, provided us with excellent service. Our food was top notch and the atmosphere was excellent. We will definitely be back! Tommy W

We left saying we'll come back next time. Looking for a place for dinner? Stop scrolling and visit Coasters.

Definitely time for an update. Long story short, Go!…read more Shortys was opened in 1946 and is the oldest bar on the island. But those are just basic dry facts and the history of Shortys is far from basic and dry. Most recently,Shortys survived yet another drenching by a hurricane. This one was one of the worst in Texas history. Somehow,this little wooden structure survived when cement ones down the street were totaled. Somehow,the person that owned the ground below Shortys decided not to renew the lease. Believe me when I say, it was controversial on the island, is an understatement. So,the owner did the right thing. Found another spot and moved the building there After months of closure,repair,add on etc. Shortys next life began. This is my first trip down since it reopened so I just had to go. Walking in,you just can't believe it's exactly the same after surviving a hurricane and being moved. Wow! The old original floor boards are there as proof and a constant reminder to never loose faith and where there's a will there's a way Definite Big GO!
