I always forget about Shady's because it's a little far from my house, but every time I go I'm reminded how much I like it!
Drink prices are amazing... You're definitely not in Scottsdale anymore! I got a martini on the rocks and a shot for $11. Can't beat it.
This isn't your typical Bud Light, vodka/soda type bar. I'm not a big beer drinker but I noticed they have a good selection of unique beers on tap. And the bartender made me my version of a French 75 (standard recipe + a float of Chamboard, it's delicious, try it) without any huff and puff.
Shady's also has a pool table, juke box with nice eclectic selection, and smoking patio. Wee!
