Short's Brewing Company Bellaire Pub

Terrible. Just plain terrible experience. Told one wait time, wait an hour more. Hostesses are completely disconnected from what is going on. Ridiculous. Then the ONE appetizer my wife can eat is out for the night. Completely disenchanted with Short's. I've been coming to bellaire for 38 years. Step your game up shorts.

We love eating and drinking beer at Shorts, we go there frequently. The food isn't fancy, but it is tasty and interesting. Beer menu is always changing, and there's always something new and fun to try! Also, we always go when May Erliwine is playing! ❤

Location / Atmosphere - Very roomy place with good seating.  Love the different level's / sections. We sat in what I would call the dining room. Looked like they had a larger section for what I would consider a 'beer garden'. Food / Beverage - Good menu of 'out of the ordinary' bar food.  It was a cooler day when we were there and I had a bowl of the 'roasted red pepper' bisque and the 'Old Man Thunder' which was a nice change of pace. Both soup and sandwich were excellent. My wife had 'The Rift' which is basically a Ruben.  Nothing special but good none the less. Others in our party had the 'Someday' and 'Cruise Control'. All good food... And a nice selection of beers and ciders... Service - Very quick and friendly service.  I did have to go to the bar to ask for silverware for our table as somehow it was left off when we sat down. Not very friendly bartender at the smaller 'service bar'. Kind of annoyed with me. In summary - Overall a very nice place in Northern Michigan. It would be nicer to see a bigger menu. I'm sure that it's hard to do this given the very 'seasonal' business that you get. Changing up the menu in busier months might be an option. Like that you are using a more 'modern' way of seating tables. Nice to have a text message sent to my phone when a table opened up. Didn't expect this type of service in Northern MI. Will be back if were in the area again.

My wife's words "I think this is the best pizza I ever had! " I have to agree, we selected our own toppings but the freshness of them and the crust, and sauce came together perfectly! Along with excellent beer choices, (Hefeweizen, and Double Magician(yum)) We couldn't ask for a better place to visit! Thanks Shorts!

Really cool atmosphere, definitely worth the drive out here if you are Traverse City, really cool place in the summer! Highly recommend giving this place a shot!
