The editorial take
Shady's Corner runs a 12-drink cocktail list from $8 to $12, with a $30 pitcher built for four to six. The beer side is serious: 12 draft lines, coolers of cans and bottles, and boilermaker combos at $5-$7. Spirits lean on a $6 Bombs & Shots section and all-day $4 well shots. Wine is a $20 bottle in red, white, or rosé, and brunch adds coffee at $3.
- What should I order?

- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups ordering pitchers, beer drinkers working through 12 draft lines and boilermaker combos, and anyone who wants a $6 shot from a named list that includes Fernet + Coke Bomb and Lemon Drop.
