What People Are Saying About Shady Tavern

Featured Review

In Short – Built with plywood and corrugated aluminum, this shack sits obscured beneath gargantuan sugarberry trees. With the shutters raised on all sides, a backyard filled with tiki torches and chaise lounges reveals itself. Local Texas brews Shiner and Lone Star--along with that perennial favorite, Jack Daniel's--are the drinks of choice for this sports lovin' bunch. Bottles of water are complimentary, as are the bottomless bowls of peanuts and tortilla chips. –

Has its moments.

Not a bad neighborhood spot. Much better when the sleazy owner is not around.

Best Place to just hang out and relax.

Great place to kick back have a beer and just relax, good music on the juke box, shady tress to sit under. What more can you ask for? Ok the bathroom is a bit odd, but you can get past that if you try.
