| - I'm a dive bar fan, and Shifty's fits the bill. It's a Raider bar on Sundays, so that's mostly when I go in, but they have a great steak dinner during the week for $9.75. Very tasty, and a good deal. For you Raider fans, it's a great spot to watch the game. They have plenty of TVs all around the place, some really good food specials (sandwiches, chicken wings, and chicken fingers for $6.00 each), and GREAT drink specials (buckets of 5 domestic beers for $12, and cinnamon whiskey shots for $3.00 apiece). And despite what the haters will always say about Raider fans...there are no thugs here. Lots of women were here...;-)
While they show only Raider games there on Sundays, it's not a spot with an "official" booster club there--and that can make a big difference. There's no "booster club" to join, no "booster club fee" to pay, (nor are there raffles to win Raider gear) and as such, there are seats available right up to kickoff. In my experience around the valley in other bars that had booster clubs, if you weren't in tight with the booster club officers, then there was NO WAY you were EVER going to find a place to sit down unless you showed up at least an hour or two before game time--and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay some "booster club fee" and not have seats!
Btw, for some of you that haven't been there in awhile...they have come into the 21st century, and now accept debit / credit cards...;-)
