Shorty’s GoodTimes Bar is a laid-back spot with an old school vibe. At Shorty's -- retro games, such as darts, shuffleboard, giant connect four, foosball and pinball, are mixed with more modern elements, like a vintage style but ‘social ready’ photo booth, a digital train station split-flap sign of a busy schedule of “arriving and departing” beer selections and house made craft-draft cocktails, PLUS an epic 1970’s basement inspired karaoke room. Our open kitchen turns out scrumptious comfort food like Fried Chicken, Short Rib Mac & Cheese + Big Sammies. Outside, our camp-style fire pits are the perfect place to kick back and cozy up. This whole place is designed to relax and enjoy with old friends and new.
