This update is LONG overdue and I love it when I get to up my rating. Long story short, where else in The Valley can you get expertly crafted cocktails and eclectic beers for such great prices?
The bartenders here seriously turn out some AMAZING concoctions worthy of high end bars in Manhattan at a quarter of the price. The atmosphere and juke box remain highlights and in addition to their formidable skills, most of the bartenders here are great people persons who can carry on a good entertaining conversation while mixing their delightful potions.
I'm so glad I rediscovered Shady's but truth be told, I'm in there so much the bartenders are probably getting sick of my ugly mug. What can i say, at least the lighting is low.
