Friendly, attentive service, even though we had a large group. Pool tables, TVs, beer, and good food....pizza, wings, and burgers specifically. I happened to be in West County for a 2 day training class, and Hotshots was the lunch spot both days...very good impression, and the chain (maybe this location) will definitely be a stop from here on out.
Review Source:The first Mizzou football game of the season was Pay Per View only and not that many bars were showing the game. After arriving at Corner Pub to find there were no tables, some friends and I ended up at Hotshots. Sure, there were plenty of places to sit but they quickly became full. We were just happy to be able to watch the game. But when the table behind us became chain-smokers we were all pretty shocked as this place was serving a lot of food - guess they've paid their way out of participating in the smoking ban. What became unbearable was the table of old men with beer bellies that lit up some huge stanky cigars - yup, Hotshots allows cigar smoking, as well.
With the Tigers pummeling Southeastern Lousiana big time, my friends and I were fed up with the smoke and left soon after half-time. I'd rather miss watching a football game than ever come back to this place.
Also, I really dislike any establishment that makes it's waitresses dress in such tight skimpy clothing. Hotshots seems to be the place for hoosiery smokers to watch a game.
Terrible experience on a busy Saturday night. Was able to witness bartenders to do multiple shots, stumbling around the bar and slurring her words. On top of that the guy cooking the food was smoking over the food. As for the other bartende I'm pretty sure she hasn't slept in seven days.
Review Source:Hi All,
I went to this unimpressive appearing bar with clients.  The unimpressive appearance was only the outside..inside there are absolutely beautiful bar game section...like 10-20 soft/hard tip dart boards...pool tables...plenty of space.  Oh...also...forgot to mention...the waitresses and bartenders are dressed slightly more classy than Hooter's employees.  Most of the servers were quite pretty, but had very pleasant attitude.  The 'queen' bar tender was amazing..remembering my drink of choice the following day.  And for an elder lady, her appearance shines over the others.  But I am not a big fan of sex appeal sales at bars..however, she rose above the typical bartender regardless of impressive  cleavage.
Only one thing I didn't like...smoking is allowed. Â Can't blame the bar, they do have a good ventilation system...and it never bothered me during eating ...I guess that is more the State's incompetence for still allowing smoking in public places...
The food was above average for bar food. Â
Anyway...would probably only return to this establishment if I am onsite at my client's...but if I lived near here, I would go often (I like darts and pool)

They have really good happy hour prices on their food. They have tiered beer pricing, the later it gets the higher the prices go, which is interesting. Â Their hot wings are pretty nice, their pizza is good too.
Several games, including pool, darts, Â and video games.
The place can get pretty busy during sports games and on weekends.
I am a little ashamed to admit that I actually kinda like this place.
The place is big, spacious, well-lit, and not very smokey. Makes the place actually pretty cheery. Did you know a sports bar could be cheery? Now you know.
Music can get pretty loud on busy nights but nothing that will make your eardrums explode. Unless you're my 62 year old "turn that racket down!" father.
Service can be a little slow when it's super busy, but it's generally really quite good. No standing at the bar getting ignored for several minutes before you can put your order in, and the waitresses, I have to admit, are attentive and very friendly. This is the sort of place a woman might dread going, as it appears to be a total meat market, and the waitresses are all wearing cleavage-exposing tight referee shirts and skimpy booty shorts and ugh. Gag me. But they are always very sweet to me, which is enough right there that makes this an enjoyable place for me to hang out. Like the most popular girl in high school that you just WANT to hate but you can't because she's sooo sweet and perky and everyone loves her? Yeah, kind of like that.
Food has always been pretty good. Things that are supposed to be hot come out hot, things that are supposed to be crispy are crispy, things that are supposed to be full of flavor are. It's just all around good.
Not hard to get a pool table, and there's foosball, darts, shuffleboard. Plenty to do. Lots of televisions with all different games on. Lots of great drink specials every night. They DO have things like "school girl night" and "bikini top night"....can't say that I've been there on those nights and I don't exactly plan to.
BUT I will say that I actually met my boyfriend (now one of my best friends) here. And he came up and sat at my table and looked me in the eye as we talked about healthcare reform while there was some wet t-shirt event going on behind him (yeah, didn't know that was going on that night or I probably wouldn't have come...glad I did though). Just goes to show that not everyone here is a meatheaded white trash frat boy. My ex-bf/friend is an awesome, super sweet, wonderful guy. And I like to think I'm a pretty classy lady!
If you want to kick back and grab a beer, and you're in the area, go here. 'Nuff said.
This is a fun place to go if you just want to hang out and have a couple of beers while watching a sports game. They have quite a few televisions all around the bar. Also, they have pool tables, a Foosball table, shuffleboard, and darts. It seems there's something for everyone. Their food is decent. I'm a big fan of their buffalo fries. They have constant drink specials. The reason I give it 3 stars is that it's mainly just guys that frequent the bar. There's not a good mix of people. But overall, it's a fun place.
Review Source:This place is a joke yet is always doing business. Go figure.
The place is just  full of the meat-headed idiots that I normally can't stand to be around. Plus, it's always loud due to some moron playing some horrible music over the jukebox.
The only redeeming quality about this place is the fact that there are some good pool tables and quite a few televisions for watching sports and whatnot.
When I do find myself at bars, it's never at this place.
In general, this is not my kind of bar.
It's this big cavernous sports bar, with no decor to speak of except TV's and neon beer signs. And it's not even dim and smoky like a good dive. The high ceilings make the smoke less bothersome, and the place is surprisingly well lit. The waitresses are all running around in cleavage-baring "referee shirts", and some guy gets on the PA periodically announcing specials on gimmicky drinks like "red headed sluts" (I know some of you are reading this thinking, right on! sounds great! - good for you, have fun, I won't be there hanging out with you.)
So why am I giving it more than one star? They have a generous number of coin-op pool tables that were actually kept in decent shape. And our group didn't have to wait a long time to get a table. A good experience shooting pool makes up for a lot of shortcomings at a bar.
Also, they keep the fryer open late in the kitchen, so I was able to get french fries around midnight. I hate when bars close their kitchens early.
Unfortunately, it has one of those weird expensive high-tech jukeboxes. You know, the ones that have a whole ton of songs, but no complete albums (which sucks since often the b-sides off an album are better from the big singles) and the songs are like $1/song, and you can pay to get your songs to play in front of other people's song. What the hell happened to real jukeboxes? Seriously, these damn things are like a plague! Bring back the real jukeboxes, damnit!
