For the rest of us, dash thru there so your clothes don't stink and head into the smoke-free indoors. It's nicely decorated.

We heard the Lynch Creek Band--worth the $5 cover. Bartenders took good care of us, even with the Saturday night crowd. DDs drink for free. Don't expect food on the menu, only beverages served from what I saw. They even have a rack of hooks for coats.

There's a decent selection of beers and some small snacks to purchase if that's what you are wanting. If you want more substantial food there is a grill inside too! They do have live bands on certain weekends so that's fun to attend as well. There's plenty of open space out front for parking too.

Highly Recommend Sharks & Shooters! As new residents of…read moreRocky Mount, we were looking for a place where we could relax, meet people, and feel welcome. At first glance, you would never guess Sharks & Shooters is a bar--it looks more like a local legion or community gathering spot. But don't let appearances fool you! After trying a few other bars in the area, Sharks & Shooters quickly became our go-to spot. The biggest reason is the amazing atmosphere. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with a warm welcome from Jess, Jen, Ang, and of course Quinn, depending on who's working. They are all fantastic, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like you're at home rather than just another customer. What really sets this place apart is not only the staff but also the people who come in. As newcomers to Rocky Mount, we weren't sure what to expect, but the regulars and locals have been incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's rare to find a place where both the staff and customers make you feel like part of the community from day one. One experience that truly shows how much they care was when we were having trouble getting an Uber home because the driver couldn't find where we lived (yes, lol!). Instead of just wishing us luck, the Sharks & Shooters team went above and beyond to make sure we got home safely. They helped us find a driver, Nick, who was absolutely fantastic. That level of kindness and customer care is hard to find these days and says a lot about the people who work there. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere, great service, friendly faces, and a place where everyone feels like family, Sharks & Shooters is the place to be. We're so glad we found it and look forward to many more visits. Thank you to Jess, Jen, Ang, Quinn, Nick, and everyone at Sharks & Shooters for making Rocky Mount feel a little more like home.

As a kid not thinking about bars I would pass this place and thought it was an indoor gun range. As an adult when I was back home a year or so ago, I was invited to meet up here and perplexed until I learned it was bar. Most recently I was home for the Thanksgiving holiday and after a few plates and family bonding, you want to hit a bar (I know it's not just me). Two or three other places weren't open so my friends and I settled on this place around midnight. I like that there's 2 separate areas with different playlists going on in each environment. You've got the bar and billiards hall up front for a bit of louder recreation. Then you also have the bar with the more lounge environment in the back room to relax and chat with your people over cheaply priced beers or cocktails (nice selection of non-bottom shelf liquors. The bartenders in the back are always pretty cool too. They enjoy being apart of the conversation which makes the atmosphere inviting. All in all it's a good spot. I see why they've been around for so long.

Very attractive overall. So I selected my toppings and paid $30 for what I thought was going to be a fantastic pizza. Instead, what I got was something akin to a frozen Tino's pizza from Food Lion, with fake cheese and barely any toppings. Each topping was about $3 extra. My total, starting at a $19 base pizza, was $29 plus tax. As I said, this pizza wasn't anywhere close to what was pictured, and the flavor was very bland due to the scarcity of the toppings I ordered. Technically, they were there, just not enough to give the thing any flavor in any way, shape, or form. I was very disappointed that I strayed from George's of Oxford for Pizza. I always get their family-size pizza for about the same price; it's always packed with toppings, and although the crust isn't that tall and bubbly, they make up for it with a shit ton of toppings and flavor. Wouldn't recommend; next time, I know just to count on this place for liquid refreshments only. Lesson learned.

I've never experienced this before but was happy that we at least got our beer. My husband ordered an IPA and I got a flight (per usual!) I had looked at the website prior and while they list their flagship beers, they do not have a list of their seasonal offerings until you get into the brewery. I must say that I was much more impressed with the selection once we got there. We went outside to sit (it was a BEAUTIFUL day!) and were lucky enough to get a seat in the shade. The view was absolutely spectacular. If you love Buggs Island Lake (or Kerr Lake as this North Carolinian calls it), you will love this view. It's honestly the best part of this place. You can plenty of water, the bridge coming into Clarksville, and the train trestle. I must point out that you couldn't go wrong sitting inside in the AC either. It's decorated very nicely! We finally got notified that we were now able to order our food. We went to the window and let them know what we wanted. We were then given another buzzer that would let us know when our food was ready. (I'm a bit baffled by this process to be honest.) We ordered another beer. My favorite was the S'mores Porter (this was a seasonal option). Very tasty and VERY reminiscent of a S'more. My husband really enjoyed the Hazy Lake Day IPA. Our food was ready in the middle of our second beer. I got the smash burger and the hubs got the catfish bites. My smash burger was pretty good but the fries were just okay...they were not crispy...at all. Very floppy. They were warm though so at least that. The real star was the catfish. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, it was delicious. We also got some pimento cheese to go. It came with 2 packets of Stacy's Pita chips but I thought it was a little pricey for $8. Overall I was satisfied with the food, I will just try a different side next time. When it came time to close our tab, it asked if we wanted to tip, 18, 20, or 25% on our total bill. I only tipped on the beer since I had to get up to order my food and then go retrieve it myself as well...I did not mind doing that, I just don't think that's a procedure worth tipping. All of the bartenders were very pleasant. This really was a wonderful afternoon with friends. I probably won't come during the summer since I imagine it being crowded, but I will definitely return in the fall or next spring. I wanted to purchase a pint glass but they didn't have them. They only had the 5 oz flight glasses. Hopefully they will get some in the future! Ps. They do have a designated parking lot but it seems to get full fast. Not sure if you're allowed to park at the hotel next door or not!
