I had a great experience at this beach bar! The bartender's skill and attentiveness, even with a packed bar, were impressive. The venue itself is well-designed, both indoors and outdoors, with a lively band from Corpus adding to the fun ambiance on the patio that night. What truly stood out was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by both the staff and fellow patrons. As travelers passing through, my wife and I felt genuinely embraced by the friendly crowd, making it the highlight of our night after encountering less welcoming spots elsewhere in town.

Ah, Shorty's Place, the quintessential dive bar where the locals and tourists alike flock for that final nightcap fix. As you step through the weathered doors, you're greeted not only by the scent of stale beer but also by a sight to behold - a ceiling adorned with a kaleidoscope of baseball caps, each one telling its own story of nights gone by. Now, let's talk drinks. If stiff is what you're after, then stiff is what you'll get! Shorty's doesn't mess around when it comes to pouring a potent potion to soothe your soul. But alas, beyond the libations, there's not much to write home about. Sure, the atmosphere has that charmingly grungy appeal that we dive bar aficionados adore, but let's be real - there's nothing particularly thrilling about this joint. It's your run-of-the-mill dive, with its worn-out bar stools and dimly lit corners where secrets are whispered and memories are made. So, if you find yourself in Port Aransas craving a drink and a dose of local flavor, by all means, swing by Shorty's. Just don't expect any fireworks - unless, of course, you count the occasional burst of laughter echoing off the walls.

Not busy at the time of sitting down belly up at the bar no welcome and chose to serve others that arrived after us so we got up and left. No thanks don’t need it.

Met up with some friends who also happened to be in town at the same time as us. Love this place! Has the atmosphere of your local dive bar with a HUGE selection of very cold beers. SO much fun!

The owner of our RV park suggested this stop. "If you like to drink (we do), if you love finding whole in the wall places (which we do), and if dive bars are on your list of where the locals drink..... Shorty's is your place. It's worth the stop just to see the hats that have been hanging from the ceiling for 20 years!!
