If I could leave zero stars I would. Don't ever go to this bar. I've grown up in this town and decide 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 were 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.

Awesome Club with super cool vibe. Great DJ’s and the service was fantastic. There something for everyone and it’s 2 stories with upstairs overlooking the dance floor and stage. The Sound is phenomenal (lots of thump) and they have fun dancing “cages” over the dance floor. Big city cool right on Monkey Island surrounded by Grand Lake and right up the road from Shangri La and across the road from great food at The SheBang.. I highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and even better drinks! A great place to go for drinks, a dance, karaoke, or a good time! The best party place on the island. Ask for Kimberly or Harley at the bar for great service and don't forget to check out the VIP area!

What used to be exciting and upscale has turned into the one thing it did not want: just another high-priced bar that's not on the lake.

I asked if I could step a toe in to listen to the music. The host instructed security to go push me off. I let him know that was not necessary, and I was happy to step back myself. I can’t believe a teenager instructed someone to push me ?go to shebangs tho. They’re kind and a lot of fun! And there is no cover!

This club is usually a fantastic club to go to, it’s always fun the live music is always good the taco truck that sometimes goes out there is great the pool tables aren’t bad either…. Sadly tho, it’s not a place I feel comfortable or safe drinking anymore , they have a bouncer/security guard who I will not name names who they know is a felon who beats on women and has multiple cases of assault not to mention was in or trained to try for MMA and that’s even SCARIER I would NEVER feel comfortable drinking or even asking that man to walk me to my car I wanna feel comfortable and safe drinking and I feel like it tells on the bars morals for hiring a person who abused women and allowing him near intoxicated/inebriated people

The Old Bulldog Band played a charity event to raise money for children and families in the area who need so much help with with food and bills in the area. There was a great turnout with all the money going to needy families. It was alot of fun too.

Great, friendly staff and cool place to dance and party with your friends.
It’s the perfect definition of a lake bar. Loud music, dark, and watered down cocktails. It is what it is.
Awesome
Straight up club on the lake.
Way fun and way crowded!
