Shooters Billards

We have lived in Crescent City off and on for over 45 years and witnessed many changes to this once sleepy, safe, friendly little town. I believe the changes to town this can be summarized by a review of this bar.
Meth mouthed tweakers, toothless muttering hillbillies with horrible BO. This smelly, funky, dirty dive is one the all time worst bars locally. Full of sketchy people who are mostly dressed like the homeless. Very obvious and flagrant drug dealing in and outside the bar. We witnessed two fights, which the «security» people mostly just watched. WTF??? If you can get past all that, they do have a decent tap list, a few full size pool tables for rent and one or two coin machines. On our most recent visit the bartender was definitely wired to the gills on God knows what.
Our hosts, old family friends, were overcharged on their credit card bill, they changed a 4 to 14. How this place stays in business is beyond me, unless of course the owners are getting a cut of all the dealing going on.
If you go don’t go alone, there is a sense of a pack mentality to the trashy local clientele. For sure don’t bring your girlfriends or wives, unless you enjoy listing to obscene salacious remarks. We will never set foot in this hole again.

3.5 Stars
Aww.. . poor guy, these reviews have been hittin’ ya pretty hard. Okay, I’ll talk you up a bit.
The Place: is a little dingy and kind of redneck, yes.. . but look at where you are. Crescent City isn’t exactly a metropolis. They have cold beer, a decent amount of pool tables, a juke box with a pretty good selection of music and a stage for dancing and the occasional local talent.
Depending the time of day, and whether or not it’s a weekend, you’re going to see a rather interesting mix of people. Either way, you can have a good time– I did. Just have fun with it.
Honestly? You should be able to tell from the outside this isn’t the BEST establishment in the world. Go into it with a realistic idea of what you’re going to expect, and you’ll have a good time.

I previously gave this bar a perfect rating, but on a subsequent visit, someone roofied an entire pitcher of beer that was purchased by our party. Seriously, who does that? Not cool at all. The guy who drank directly from the pitcher became very ill, but luckily none of the girls got hit.
Watch your drinks!

How high can one’s expectations for a bar be in a town such as Crescent City?
My friends and I were on a bar crawl of the area and Shooters proved to be the highlight of the night. As soon as we walked in the door, the bartender pleasantly greeted us. They had a decent selection of beers, all of which were served in chilled glasses. The bar is loaded with pool tables and a solid dance area. Furthermore, the place is clean (bathrooms included) and provides plenty of space for casual conversation with each other and the eccentric locals.
Albeit a patron known as Darlene was overly feisty with my friend, it was all-​in-​all a great time.

Come on in… the dress code is sweats and no teeth. This place is incredibly trashy as well as the scooches who hang out in there. Please don’t even waste your time here, this place is nasty and nothing but trouble.

Ghetto-​hillbilly-​ish!
GREAT IF YOU’RE BAREFOOT AND WEARING A NASCAR T-​SHIRT!
If you have any type of college education or have dental coverage DON’T go, you’ll feel totally out of place. I’m from out of town, it was more disgusting that I could have ever imagined.
So I already had a bad taste in my mouth when I pulled up and saw a big primered cadillac-​boat car parked right in front. Usually the valet spot is reserved for Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s, well in this case it’s reserved for a big primered boat!
They don’t even have a full bar, I sat next to a guy wearing a flannel that reeked of BO who of course was fitting the perfect stereotype, he was also drinking a full glass of Busch beer. Not to mention it’s very bright, it was 12:30 and all the lights were on full blast, it just doesn’t feel like a proper bar /​nightlife place.
It was odd, I felt like I was the only literate person there, surely other people could read but it felt really backwards and gross, almost all the women there were overweight, it was pretty disgusting. After a final glance around to see if there was anything worth talking to, there wasn’t, so I didn’t even finish my beer and left. It’s a shame really, because it’s not entirely Shooter’s fault, it’s the clientele that they cater to. A lot of WT, so I don’t blame Shooter’s, they’re a business trying to make money, it’s not their fault that they’re in a backwards town.
I GIVE SHOOTERS 3 STARS, Great for the people of Crescent City, but horrible for visitors like myself.
