| - Have you ever watched an 80s movie set in Miami and thought "wow that looks just like Cleveland!" Me neither. Although the vibe of the place is certainly a bit outdated, there are a lot of things I liked about it. I have been here three times and each time got a worse.
The first time I went in, it was a beautiful summer afternoon with a band playing. There were about 7 of us and we were standing at a table by the water and getting our own drinks from the bar. The Margaritas were good as well as the bloody Mary's. Everyone was friendly and bar staff seemed very happy. On top of that the band was great.
The second time I was there was for some late-night fun. There were 2 bars open on the deck, but both were moving really slow. The male bartenders were a little preoccupied talking to the pretty girls at the bar, which I expected, but I still would like a drink every once in a while.
The third time I went was the worst. It was again another late night, but there was a private party. The place was packed, but I didn't feel I was waiting too long to get a drink. My problem this night was the crowd and lack of security. Although apparently drug use isn't a big deal for many, I don't want an entire bar to smell like Cheech and Chongs van from Up in Smoke.
Overall, Shooters is a great spot for summer afternoons. Apparently when the night crowd starts rolling in, you can't expect much. The drinks are a bit pricey for the area, but I think it goes along with the fact that you can pull your boat up to the dock and drink by the water. So, if you want to feel like Tony Montana at the Babylon Club in 2016 Cleveland, head to Shooters!
