Shortt’s Bar

Don’t be fooled by the sober greyish blue exterior of this corner bar near the top of St James’ St. Inside it’s open plan, warm wood and brick — and live music and fun till late, seven days a week. There’s a pretty decking seating area out the back — and a menu which includes meaty and cheesy sharing boards,  some mighty burger options and full roast lunches on Sundays. If you’re curious about performers, there’s usually a weekly, handwritten list of who’s playing when  taped to the front door — and you can check out video clips of some of their popular artists on their Facebook page
