Exterior of Shot Bar.
Maybe one of those worst ideas to hit Midtown since someone decided to pop their collar, Shot Bar is a one-stop-shop for getting absurdly bent and making an fool of yourself in front of whoever it is you were trying to sleep with when you showed up. Shot Bar is a lot like a frat house with a liquor license, simply put, and exists for one reason: Shots. Fruity shots for the girls; energy drink shots for the boys. The name is not some kind of misnomer, folks. The clientele is comprised of young, fashionable people, the majority of which have a year or two (or an arrest) before they learn how to hold their booze. If you do not typically high-five people with whom you do shots, you’re probably not the target demographic. If your dad sent a larger-than-usual check to cover the rent on your Downtown loft, this is probably where you’ll spend it.

I enjoyed it so much I planned for it to be one of my stops for my 24th birthday party bus tour. I called on the 18th I know that I spoke with a man name TONY. I was told that the table in the left corner could be reserved with my name on it. He stated that he had my name down and that it would be on reserve for the night of 3-3-2011. When we got there it was a whole different story, it was my actually birthday I had taking the time to do research called ahead and plan so I could have a great time, I was hurt, embarrassed, sad, and judged at the front door, it was one thing to not have the table reserved but for SHOT BAR not to even let me or any of my guest in was WRONG. It was clearly not packed the door man was letting us in until “owner” stopped him! I really feel in my heart that we were not let in because most of my guests were not white!!!!!!!!! That’s not how you run a place of business in 2011, you would be better of putting a WHITE ONLY sign up! So us colored folks would know to stay out.
So enclosing Thanks for ruining my Birthday
Don't fret, you will have another birfday next year. For what it's worth it's not a racist place, they just forgot about your Birfday. There is no reason to throw some proverbial gas on the fire, as there is no fire. Be well, happy b-day.
This place has a wheel that the bartenders spin, then whichever shot it lands on is the one you drink, and PAY for. Seriously.... why the hell would I pay for a drink that I did not choose?
You don't have to spin the wheel, genius! You choose to spin it and choose to take your chances by doing so.
That might be the most accurate review of a bar that was ever written...hard to really add to it. Well done.
