Shooters II

So this is the SEQUEL? I can't imagine what the original Shooters was...

Let me start with the plusses, because they will be short, brief, and the rest can be endlessly enumerated:
-large space
-two floors (2nd sort of a mezzanine area for anthropological types who prefer to observe buffoonery)
-cheap beers

The rest, which will become immediately obvious should you choose to visit:
-$5 cover charge
-bottleneck near the bar (and I'm not talking about beer)
-difficult parking situations
-undergrads who swamp the place around midnight

It's a giant dance club. For some, that is their scene. De gustibus non est disputandem.

Also, there is a giant cage to dance in and a mechanical bull. You can decide which column each belongs to, plus or minus.

Shooters will forever remind me of my college years. This was the dirty place everyone would go to on so many weekends for so many years. As bars go, the place is what you'd expect, but maybe a bit bigger. You'll see tons of Duke kids, plenty of them dancing on the bars...or in the cage on the ceiling...or against the glass.

There's an upstairs with it's own bar that's a nice place to chill if you want to get away from the crowd and people watch. Oh - I forgot to mention there's also a mechanical bull if you're adventurous. Shooters' best night, in my opinion, is Wednesday. When i went there, it was an older, smaller crowd comprised of late junior and a bunch of seniors so you really know everyone you're with. And then super cheap pitchers ($3 when I was there) and beer pong? Let's go!

Shooters will forever hold a place in my heart as a Duke alum, but if you don't go to the school, I wouldn't recommend it. My only issue with it was really the lines - so avoid them at all costs!

This place was.. interesting. To review this place, I am taking out of my mind every club experience I've ever had.

There is a cheap cover charge of $5 if you're over 21. If you're under 21, you must enter through the back door and pay a higher cover. Inside, you'll find a mechanical bull and a cage, if you're feeling a little crazy. Music was typical stuff you hear on the radio, plus some songs more on the country-ish side. Consider your surroundings, okay? Haha. There were a lot of nice boys who were more than willing to booze you up, so I have no idea how much the drinks go for.

The lower floor gets SUPER JAM PACKED, even on slower nights (i.e. right before finals). Remember to take a breather every once in a while upstairs or outside.

If you're actually on here reading reviews about this place, I wouldn't be too mindful about the ones talking about age. There are a TON of Duke grad students that go, too, as well as the men's basketball team. In the end, it's all about having fun, right?
