Cajun/Creole Cookin’
Formed from French roots, livened with Spanish spices, inspired by African vegetables, caribbeanized by West Indian hands, laced with black pepper and pork by the Germans, infiltered with potatoes by the Irish, blasted by garlic and tomatoes by the Italians.
New Orleans cuisine is a rich melting pot of influences and ingredients, and Pearl’s embraces the roots of both Cajun (rural) and Creole (city) styles of cooking. We offer authentic and enduring southern specialties like Etouffé, Jambalaya, Oysters Rockefeller and Fried Green Tomatoes, alongside crawfish, shrimp and other fresh seafood. Learn the right way to eat a crawfish, enjoy a New Orleans style Po’ Boy sandwich, or step out and try some blackened alligator!

In April of 2004 we opened the doors to Short’s Brewing Company in the quaint Village of Bellaire. Beer was the mission, and liberation was the movement. With a lot of elbow grease, blind ambition and a little luck, the quest to create a community pub in Northwest Lower Michigan began to take shape. The philosophy was to bring an appreciation of craft beer to the north with product education and creativity. The process of appreciation through education we call beer liberation.
The Pub has been hand crafted just as much as the food and beer. We are a non smoking family fun place. We take pride in the warmth and friendliness of our pub and all the goods it bears. We encourage you to come out any time and get a real Bellaire experience.
Learn about the beer and the company from our fantastic crew or just kick back and relax. The pub has free WiFi so you can bring your computer to do some work or do a little beer rating with a sampler on the side. We believe the pub to be a place of community and local activity just as the pubs had been during colonial times. It’s sort of the hub of the Village. We host live music, dance lessons and various other events throughout the year. If you don’t have time to stay, you can always get beer, food and SBC gear to go.
