Shorty's Place — Restaurant in Punta Gorda

Awesome time good staff lots of fun..... You want a hike in the wall dive bar scene Shorty's is the place. There's a cool little room with two pool tables in it. Free pool by the way. And there is another area with kareoki. There is a curling game and darts to. The parking lot has a big stage for live bands and music. They are a full service liquor is quicker or beer and wine. Grab a seat at the bar and write on a dollar bill they have that to 😂. Basically everything you want from a Dive Bar except dive bar food. It's in downtown Punta Gorda and you can have a great time by starting your PG bar crawl at Shorty's. Parking is kinda limited but that's downtown life. There is a parking garage in the area. Maybe see you there sometime. But all in all Shorty's is a fun place to have a good time with a few friends or by yourself. It is unique for its own particulars but at the end of the day it's a dive bar. I would give it five stars...

This was second time trying to go. First time no kitchen open Could not go in front door. Been doing some work. Seems like no rush to finish. Try get a bite to eat again today. No food on weekend I guess?? The bar tender not friendly at all. It was like we (my family)£ were a bother to her!!She had no smile no info just no , yes , no. Answers.

Maybe try again when in season?? Maybe not We definitely have been to fun bars and pubs on weekends in Punta Gorda this was not one of them. These were fun places to get drink and bite (Deans back patio, Celtic ray out side back area, bars at fisherman's village, tiki bar at stage, Even Hurricane Charlies sitting out on water...

Apparently, don’t look at their menu…”they aren’t serving food today” and there is no info anywhere. You also, order at the bar…at the CORNER of the bar, where they have a special sign and mat. Don’t mind that there are only 3 people in the bar so she could have yelled from the parking lot to hear my order. So after she rudely told me to walk FIVE feet from where I was to where SHE was, I tried to order food, receiving that response. The menu sounded good, we didn’t want a bar but figured it was still a nice spot to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the open air restaurant. But due to the (blonde/older) bartender I won’t be back, not with my husband, not with my adult kid. We instead we instead went next door to the hibachi restaurant, where several...
