Shorty's Place - Punta Gorda

I love this place, my favorite dive bar. Cheap drinks and free pool!

Good people good entertainment and friendly helpful staff

What an amazing place! Kim, who works behind the bar, is fantastic! We initially thought it was just a quick stop for a beer, but the experience was so much more. I tried the Fort Myers and the lobster roll, and both were absolutely awesome! We will definitely come back when we're in the area!

I can't comment on the food since we didn't stay long. We entered with our dog, and while smoking is allowed, the environment was unfriendly for our pet, so we decided to leave, which was no big deal. We sat outside waiting for service, but after about 10 minutes, I went to check if they offered table service, and they did not. My husband eventually brought out the menus himself. I ordered a cheese steak along with either a Corona Lite or Stella, but my husband was informed that they didn't have several items listed on the menu, with one choice being a "molten ice" (which sounded unappealing). He asked for a Corona but was told they didn't have it either, so he opted for a Stella after discovering they were out of that as well. We're definitely not returning. I wish I could give them negative stars.

Bartender (2 women) are rude and evil. Whether they are slow or busy, these two have a speed. SLOW And if you finally get your order, they literally complain about the tip they receive. Friend before me typed 20% and when he left, they complained about the tip. Later, when another friend ordered a **** Mary, she said it was the only one she got because “they are too hard to make” which was ironic because it tasted evil. They have good bands there and I like to feel the diver, but they need new employees who know how to run a bar and appreciate people who come to spend their money in their facility.
