    If I could leave zero stars I would. Don't ever go to this bar. I've grown up in this town and…read moredecide to bring friends for a 23rd birthday weekend. So excited to spend it at Big Shots and celebrate the town I've grown up in. The second we walk in we are immediately bombarded for identification. We all provide the necessary identification to proceed to enter the premises of the building. Once all accepted, we proceed to go to the bar and order drinks. They single out a member of our party and confiscate multiple IDs (mind you we are all 23+). They hold our cards for 10+ minutes and claim that they are testing to see if they are real or false identification. We ask if we can call the police to confirm that they are real. These are 100% real card identification cards. They claim that the police would not know if they were real or fake and the bar could not tell if they were real or fake and we asked if we could leave. They held are identification cards hostage until we show them are Apple IDs on our phones in Instagram usernames. This used to be a favorite bar of ours and we will never ever return. If it was legal, I would burn this place to the ground (but I won't). They lost out on an at least $1000 plus a night with a group of 20 people.

    Absolutely terrible, never want to go again, they were the most discriminating towards people that…read morewere of age even though we had the police come. They did not believe us even once the police confirmed our ages. I will never come back again. They had terrible drinks and I didn't even drink here.

    I've been going to this place for 6+ years now, and there's always been room for improvement…read more With the newest owners, Shadow Lake is finally living up to its full and best potential! They are having theme nights every weekend, different live DJs bringing the house down with incredible jams, running nightly shuttles to and from multiple campgrounds in and around Noel, and actually having a presence on social media to keep the public informed about events! For non-dancers, they have corn hole boards and pool tables too! The fish bowls are back to being delicious as ever. Makes my heart happy to see Shadow Lake thriving Please visit if you're in town and looking for a good time, I promise you won't be disappointed!

    They have the base too loud. If you complain they tell you off and turn it up. No consideration for…read moreresidents. When leaving and going down the street it sounds like a bad car stereo. They only care about money.To add..apparently they told my neighbor that because they have a noise variance they can be as loud as they want and if residents don't like it they can move or go get a hotel room for the weekend (which would be every weekend during the season) like people have that kind of money or luxury to do so. It is worthy to note that this year they have been louder than previous years, also something they have admitted. They have no care or concern for the health of its surrounding residents and the impacts to that health with the increase in volume. Higher blood pressure and migraines and anxiety just to name a few. Raising the volume was and is completely unnecessary. We should not hear raves near Park and Jeannie inside our homes like it's outside our windows. Not everything needs to be turned into a rave.

    Line dancers don't even bother. They don't allow any sort of song swap even when the floor is…read moreempty. They barely play any line dance songs and even then it's simple ones because they barely take any requests. I understand not wanting everything to be a line dance but when nobody's on the floor at all I don't see how it's a hazard. All requests were on a playlist and you can't request anything outside of that. If you like to swing and two step then this place is for you but if you enjoy line dancing I wouldn't bother at all. They kick you off the floor if you even try to. We went on a Friday so maybe another night is better but overall not a great time. The floor is also very small and for the amount of people they should expand. I will say the lights and atmosphere was cute though.

    July 2025. Very pleased after reading so many poor reviews. This place must have really turned…read morearound! Everything about this place was great. We go to great bars in Houston every weekend and 101 really stands up! The front door guy was friendly. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. Great drink specials and regular prices. The dance floor was a little small but excellent. The DJ was super friendly and played multiple requests very quickly. The crowd was very very young but friendly and polite!!! We're old LOL. We have a little different dancing style but everyone on the floor was courteous. OK the bathrooms could use a little attention. Non smoking was a pleasant surprise. We can't wait to come back.
