Cheap Shots:
Your furniture just got repossessed, and your credit cards have been declined more than William Hung at the Playboy Mansion. But that’s okay, because you can probably still afford a spirit-lifting drink at the aptly named Cheap Shots. Shots go for just $2 here, and for $7 you can have a pitcher of anything from Bud Light to Yuengling. If you can still squeeze a few quarters out of the couch, there’s air hockey—more patrons have probably been felled by flying pucks than too many shots—a jukebox, and videogames, plus darts in the back. Though this place would seem to attract its share of Animal House buffoons, the crowd is more or less well-behaved. In fact, the only thing that really makes Cheap Shots a dive is the toe-curling sketchy bathroom.
You can't help but to love a place that serves $2 shots, and if that's not cheap enough, Friday nights they offer them for $1!! You drink free on your birthday, no catches, no exceptions no kidding! The atmosphere is friendly, the bartenders are great and the air hockey table is soo much fun!

Me and my boyfriend walked across this place on a rainy afternoon and decided to go for it. Good decision, we ended up having a great time with dirt cheap drinks and our own choice of music; they have a jukebox. This place have daily great deals and if it happens to be your birthday,you drink for free.

Everything in Cheap Shots is exactly what the name implies: cheap. Cheap drinks, a cheap looking table(yes, it's singular) and a cheap crowd (that includes me, I guess)...
Pay $2 for a shot, and you will get the world's tiniest plastic shot container. However, the shot was alright.
The $7 pitcher is not a bad deal. In fact, it is a pretty good deal if you can find a place to sit and put that pitcher on.
