Meet Shirley
The woman behind the name, the pour, the smoke, and the atmosphere.
Dirty Shirley's was created with one idea in mind: a space where culture, class, and community come together --- a place that feels like home, but elevated.
Shirley enjoys meeting guests, hearing their stories, celebrating their special occasions, and watching new friendships develop inside Dirty Shirley's. She believes hospitality is personal. People should be acknowledged when they walk through the door, treated with respect while they are there, and leave feeling that they are always welcome to return.
Shirley believes the best rooms have personality. The music feels right, the cocktails have character, the cigars invite you to stay awhile, and somewhere between the first pour and the last laugh, strangers start feeling like family.
Her taste leans toward the bold, the smooth, and the unforgettable. That spirit lives throughout Dirty Shirley's, from the atmosphere and events to the little recommendations scattered across the menu.
Around here, Shirley isn't just the name on the door. She's the point of view behind the experience.

A few of her favorites.
Bourbon, whiskey or a crafted cocktail. Shirley appreciates quality spirits, a proper pour, and cocktails made to be savored rather than rushed. Sometimes the occasion calls for wine. Shirley likes something smooth and full-bodied, especially a cabernet sauvignon.
A house favorite is coming soon. In the interim, Shirley appreciates a well-made Maduro cigar with character.

Good cigars, good drinks, good music, good conversation, good people, no pretense, no pressure.
Every woman is allowed a few secrets ... but Shirley will admit to two: champagne and desserts. A little bubbly, something decadently sweet, and absolutely no apologizes,
“Your vibe should introduce you before you say a word.”
