    Very local bar. Good service and good bands. Local brewery featured. Wait staff was very friendlyread more

    I approached the bar to order food but wasn't able to after being told I couldn't be in the bar…read morewithout ID. I told the young female bartender and the larger bald security guard that I forgot my ID at my house but why does this prevent me from being in an establishment to support their musical artist (Ian Foutz) and purchase food? Why are my children (9 and 5 years old) allowed but I'm not because I'm almost 40 without ID but not ordering a drink? Why did the young female bartender tell me if she knew me she would serve me (even though i never ordered anything) without ID when she also told me the policy was unwavering and police are serious about people without ID in the establishment? This occurred on Saturday June 24th 9pm, 2023. Again I never ordered a drink at all, told the bartender I had money to spend for the establishment on behalf of me and my friends, was told I can't be there without ID, my children were allowed, I explained in Virginia I never experienced this nor in Carolina since I lived here. My family and friends could not believe the situation and we all left. It was the single most offensive experience at a professional business I've ever had. 5 people of my party were witness to this and two of them hertford locals who have opted out of supporting the establishment. I've been in NC for two years now conducting business with residents and commercial entities and have never been treated like this by anyone or any establishment. I just wanted to see my friend play music and eat some food with my family. I'm not sure if this is typical of the establishment or if I was singled out but I do not recommend this business as they have a zero tolerance policy for having a meal with your family without ID.

    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.

    This is becoming my go-to spot when I'm back in my hometown...mainly because, they always seem to…read morebe open when nowhere else is. 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.
