What People Are Saying About Cheap Shots Inc
The Editor
Erin Behan
Citysearch
In Short – This divey neighborhood bar is true to its name, serving up cheap shots of kamikazes, Red-Headed Sluts and Coco Puffs. Those who prefer suds to shots find equally cheap pints and pitchers. The amenities--air hockey, an MP3 jukebox, Golden Tee, darts, Big Buck Hunter, Monopoly--attract a more adult crowd during the day and a much younger student set at night. The plasma screen offerings rotate wildly between movies, sports and the news.

Used to be good, but now I'll never go back
by JR32285
Today I went there to celebrate my brothers 21st birthday. I'd gone here before the week OF my birthday, never on my actual birthday because it fell during the week. Never had a problem before going that weekend. So we go the Friday night of that week and get told "No, its only on the day of your birthday" after we buy 3 rounds of drinks and notice the price is higher then it should be. The same guy who served me drinks after my birthday says "On days I work here its always been that way" so b*llsh*t. On top of that my brother had moved away from the bar slightly to put the drinks away because crowding had led to people spilling drinks and the bar tender curses up a storm and then says its however much AND tip, demanding it. Afterwards both tenders were being crass and moody. After finding out my brother wasnt drinking free left. You're better off going to any other place in the area then this dump. Pourhouse just a few blocks away.
- Pros: Used to have cheap drinks, has gone up.
- Cons: Small space, horrible bathrooms, WORST TENDERS EVER.

Just Avoid the Grossness of Cheap Shots
by 1GoodSpanker
This place is synonomous to a latrine, it is disgusting, filthy, gross, a total crapper. I'm sure the Dept of Health would have a field day with this place. The Blondie barmaid always has a stick up her butt, always complaining about the "non-whites". The drinks are terrible, they are watered down and the work area is filthy. has anyone ever looked behind the bar to see where they wash the glasses out? Go ahead..have a gander. They demand tips, or you will not continued to be served. I wonder what the Better Buisness Dept will have to say about this? Hmm. ? I have witnessed small child in the place, the Dad was drinking while the little girl ran around.why ? I dont know, but they allow it. Hmm. what about that?
- Pros: There are no pros the place is the bottom of the barrel
- Cons: The blonde Bar maid who cannot make a drink to save a life

by rebel1978
This place is re-opening this weekend under new ownership (Tom McNeil). This is the same owner as Yogi's(which closed last year), The Patriot, and The Duck. Hopefully it will turn out to be another great country music dive bar, just like Yogi's aka bear bar used to be.
- Pros: dive bar, and the rest I'll update after it re-opens
