Shooters not just for Strippin' but also Rockin'

In economic duress, businesses try new angles to both lighten the mood and generate revenue. Shooters Showgirls will open its basement this month to become a live music venue. On Saturday, April 24, jam rock band The Excellent Adventure will perform a set punctuated by 70s tunes. The bar, which is characterized by its female dancers five nights a week, restricts its patrons to the upstairs. Apparently, the lower level contains a full bar and is equally as spacious as the upper; Shooters has just “never utilized it before,” manager Troy Bowe explained. So they’re opening it up for all manner of events, from concerts to MMA fights. On the event evenings, dancers will still perform as usual in the upper level bar.
