Literally a hot spot
by Bekki659
I went to Shooters this past Saturday night, and I gotta say, its literally the hottest place around. After waiting in line forever my friend was told that she would not be able to get in without an ID (that she had actually forgotten). They were looking pretty carefully- apparently there is a pretty high percentage of under aged people trying to get in. I went and dropped her off and came back alone. On the bright side, I felt safe doing that. So when I actually got in, the first place I tried to go was the bathrooms, as I had been waiting outside for a long time. They were overcrowded and kinda... gross. I managed to get to the dance floor a few minutes later, after shoving through a pretty huge crowd of people. Also another plus, there were a lot of (mostly?) college students there, so most of the people there were my age. The dance floor its self.... was REALLY... REALLY hot. Not as in "awesome".... as in they need to get a ventilation system in here before somebody dies. I've done my fair share of clubbing, and I have to say Ive never left the dance floor so soon, and never for a reason such as heat. The music was good, and I danced with a few guys, but I couldn't stand it- I think it was more humidity than anything, in addition to the heat (it felt like a tropical jungle in there). I ended up spending a record breaking SHORT time at Shooters because of the dance floor. I wouldn't mind going back as a last resort, as I'm sure its always going to be packed, but it isn't my first choice. I'm a person, not a tropical frog.
- Pros: Good parking, good looking crowd, big facility, cheap cover
- Cons: Too hot, very poor bathrooms, long line outside with people constantly cutting to the front

The best hospitality!
by lindak54
I have always been treated with the upmost respect from the owner and staff. Brian Davis is my cousin and I am so proud of him. When you need a place to have a special function, I truly recommend booking it at Shooters! They did an outstanding job for the fundraiser we had for my loving mother. Thank you all for a job well done! And thanks to Brian & Uncle Ron for performing under such difficult circumstances.
- Pros: Best music, live!
- Cons: Not close enough to Raleigh

I have only been here to see Brian Davis twice but both times I had a blast. I never had to wait for a drink and didn't get run over on the dance floor. So far, so good.
- Pros: Booths/Tables, Two Bars
- Cons: Small Dance Floor, Limited Parking
