It's a very small place with a classic "U" shaped bar. Like most dives the seating revolves around bar seating, with a few tables in the back for a more social setting. Full bar, and some of the coldest beer I've ever had. They also have some decent bar food. Burgers, nachos, pizza, pork sandwiches, and pretzels. The good- drinks are extremely reasonable, and the food was great for bar food. Nice outside seating, plenty of parking. The Bad- Smoking, I know these small towns at till allow it, but yuck especially in a small place. Cell phone service can be nonexistent for some providers, and finally it took over an hour to get my food. I understand there's only one tender who makes drinks and food, but an hour is too long.

Best bar for 34 miles. Went on a motorcycle ride and ended up stopping here because a friend of…read moremine suggested it. This place is my new favorite dive bar. It has great atmosphere and they really know how to treat you. Rick the owner was there and never once mentioned he owned the joint. He just sat there and had a few drinks with me and chatted. Dan the karaoke man is about the friendliest there is. Oh and by the way they have wifi. That's right people a biker bar with a homey feeling to that welcomes everyone has good food, great beer (they will now have Guinness) awesome bar staff. The bar tender never let me sit with an empty beer. If you are on a ride and need a stop this is the place, if you are needing a drink at a place that judges no one and accepts everyone this is the place. If you have just had a long day and need a cold beer and a laugh this is the place. On the weekends they also have the wet tshirt contest and jello wrestling.

Bought tickets online and it stated the doors opened at 6 pm and show starts at 7 pm. Got there at 6:15 pm and were about 150 -200 ft from the entrance in line. It took till 7:15 to get to the door, in the rain. When we got to the door, we asked why the line was moving so ridiculously slow. They stated they were checking ID's. Its an all ages show. Instead of scanning tickets (the ones with the barcode), they were looking it up by name. Then, they stated anyone under 21 had to pay a $5 minor charge! No mention of this on the website, tickets or venue info. Just an outright money grab. Could have made some points up by foregoing the $5 and saying sorry we made you wait in the rain for an hour and miss the beginning of the show. Instead, we got attitude from the meat head working the counter. Be aware that this was a Christian music concert, so between sets the venue blared gangster rap with vulgar lyrics, knowing full well there were children in the crowd. Just absolutely classless. Won't be returning to this venue.

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.
