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!

We decided to have a 60th birthday celebration at Rusty Rooster's Ice House b/c we frequently stop in when we are in town b/c of the service and great atmosphere. We made the right choice. Owners, Issabelle and Joe went above and beyond accommodating our request. Their staff were pleasant and friendly and the prices were great. We had food catered however they always have local food trucks to accommodate the late night hunger. If you're in town you MUST stop by. They always have the games on their TV's for football, baseball or basketball. One thing I have to say about Issabelle and Joe, is they are BIG on giving back to their community and I support that all day everyday! Thank you Rusty Rooster, until next time!

Its a small dive-y bar with a pool tables in the back, some dart boards, a decent sized dance floor and karaoke and juke boxes. Drinks are affordable and they have damned good waitresses who always have a smile and whose service is quick and friendly. Its a suburban corpus melting pot with everyone from cowboys, trailer trash, locals, and passer throughs, neighbors, friends and family. Open pretty much all the time and I can say with an assurance you can always find a good time at Buddy's place. Every time I go I always get caught up in a conversation with a friendly patron, kick back a few beers, dance with a yesteryear beauty queen and pick up a few laughs on the way out. Side note - the lady who does the karaoke isn't your run of the mill Karaoke queen, she actually pays attention to the audio and will augment the sound so your voice comes in a clear as possible and mixed with the music! Just sayin! So If you are into small town country bars then buddy's is gonna find a small place in your heart. . Tip the waitresses because they work hard and just have a good time.

Inside it is medium sized with primarily high top seating and a bar with a pool table and TVs. We seated ourselves, and the waitress came by and took orders. We had the Smash Burgers and Wings (hot and garlic parm). The burgers were excellent, large and juicy with several toppings available. The wings were ok, I would have preferred more sauce, but they were big and plentiful. The service was very good, the waitress stopped by frequently and other helpers kept up with drink refills. Overall, a very good place to grab a drink and a bite.

Apparently Ty Dietz and Tumble Dry Low both play here, so we're watching for their upcoming dates. Couldn't decide what I wanted to drink so the sweetheart bartender, JP, told me about some new liquors they had and gave us a taste of Twisted Tea Whiskey, which was surprisingly good! (Dangerously good for day-drinking tho, so we both went w/ice cold beer instead. Ha.) There were some friendly locals sitting at the bar with us who were happy to chat and tell us what's up in town. The jukebox was super easy to play from my phone and I really liked the entire setup of this bar. Several TVs to check out and a huge screen in the corner, which I assume is popular for game day. Lots of seating around the stage, pool tables and darts. The women's restroom was clean too which I really appreciated. The prices are badass too- I think our beers were only $3 each?? Sadly, we only stayed a few hours. Can't wait to check out this place on the weekend when it's hoppin.
