Shooter's: Give it a shot
By Jack Hunter, Special to The Post and Courier
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Two weeks ago, '80s hair band "The Bulletboys" played the Windjammer and on Tuesday, a much more successful group of that same genre, RATT, were at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach.
On Friday, I wanted something in that vein to tide me over between the two shows, so I decided to go see local band Rip n' Tear at Shooter's Food and Spirits in Summerville.
if you go
what: Shooter's Food and Spirits
where: 1704 Old Trolley Road
phone: 873-2002
happy Hour: 4-7 p.m. weekdays
hours: 11-2 a.m. daily
website: myspace.com/shootersofsummerville
Not to be confused with a shooting range or small amounts of liquor in tiny cups, Shooter's specializes in billiards but is better described as a biker bar that features live music on a regular basis.
That night, Rip n' Tear certainly did both, ripping through Motley Crue's "Looks That Kill" and tearing up "Round and Round" by RATT, something enjoyed by the crowd that night, and me.
Located in a strip mall on Old Trolley Road, Shooter's is a long bar, taking up two or three storefronts. The setting is comfortable and very clean, and the crowd laid back, even if the music that night was not.
The staff was friendly and quick, where customers never have to wait long for a drink, all served with a smile.
Friday is live band night, but Wednesday is reserved for karaoke and Shooter's brings a DJ in on Saturday.
If you're in Summerville and you like bikes, rock bands and billiards, Shooter's is your place.
