Big Shotz

This review might make me show my liberal progressive hippieish uppity roots. I couldn't find a decent bar or think of one at least so yelp provides this place as around the corner. Why not?

I may as well give up because two places in our area have spoiled me. One is the Black Star co-op which is my favorite all around pub for food and drink. The Westside Alehouse is second due to friendly staff, decent food and a great beer selection in Round Rock.

Big Shotz is a clean, hole in the wall with a pool table in back. I don't like sports, don't watch sports and I also don't care for flavored vodka. That might skew my review. Drink prices are cheap but I usually just have a beer. The pool table in back is fine. It's a bar, what else do you say?

Here's where I turn irritable. I noticed people smoking. I didn't mind the smoke at first. The fans seem to be pulling the air up so not so bad. When I left, I wreaked of it. I haven't had that happen in so long I forgot what it's like when someone smokes inside a building.

I'd consider going here again but it's only if other places I enjoy more aren't open.

Ive been here at least 2x. Once we came in and were playing pool when we noticed there was a tiny tv outside that had the spurs game on. b/c my fiancee loves me despite my love for the SPURS he asked the bartender to put that game on to the bigscreen in the pool table area. Love love loved that.

2nd time we came in here was a few weekends ago. We had the shot of the day. whatever thatwas on saturday. They were having their 1 year anniversary party and they were having an 80's party. They were cutting cake or something but I guess that was just for the regulars b/c we were never offered any which is fine, it was a liquid kinda diet that day.

We had a few drinks, great waitress/bartender girl, very sweet. Too bad she was leaving for Chicago b/c she was very nice without being too "so what are you ordering next kinda vibe" Loved her!. And she didnt charge me for a drink I ordered that was gross. . not her fault a vodka tonic with lime tasted like an air freshner sitting in my car mixed with pine sol .. .but the fact that she didnt charge me for it without even asking will have me returning for sure.

DIdnt like that the only guy in the bar smoking decided to sit next to me after I just straighted my hair that morning. . I hate smelling like an ash tray. My only wish is that this place not allow smoking indoors and it would be absolute chill.  

Love the music too: 80s music and sounds like they just plugged in my ipod.

Wasn't a good experience this time!! Not many people here...boring....too smoky, even though the ceiling fans were on....boring...mainly guys hanging out, hardly any women to chat with...boring...and did I say it was too smoky, where it seemed as if I smoked and I don't!! Hopefully if I go back it'll be much better!!
