Come waste your money here only if you want to get your ass kicked as a "thank you" for your patronage. This review is sparked by a case of mistaken identity, fueled by the brainless brawn of the club thugs they call "bouncers." The security at this club are neither professional nor intelligent--they are nothing more than unchained, violence-crazed thugs who act more like bloodthirsty attack dogs than the type of professional security staff that you would expect at a distinguished Denver club. Their brute and barbarous actions will not be tolerated and are being reported to the authorities. This Saturday, my boyfriend and his two friends ("Group 1") were paying for their bar tab at the end of the evening, while next to them, another small group of men ("Group 2") began to bicker amongst themselves. Out of no where and without any kind of forewarning the club's entire security crew muscled Group 1, (the mannerly, civil patrons) out onto the street with such force and maliciousness that one of the men lost a shoe in the process, another man's belt was torn in half and all of them were brutally slammed onto the concrete by nearly a dozen large bouncers who then punched the men repeatedly in the face and pinned them to the ground by their necks as the bouncers choked the men until their breath began to escape them. All the while, not a single one of the men fought back. The bouncers were thankfully relieved of their torturous behavior when the police arrived, who had apparently been called prior to the bouncers sneak attack on the unsuspecting and respectful men. All three men were ticketed for "disorderly conduct" and the police explained that they "had to write tickets because they were called out," despite their apparent understanding that the wrong group of men had been kicked out and advised the men to dispute the tickets. The actions of this club's security were completely unwarranted and excessively ruthless, to say the least. Even if these bouncers had acted out on the men in Group 2 (the ones who were actually, barely, less than well mannered), their idea of an appropriate response to the situation is deranged and dangerous. This club's "security" can't possibly make anyone feel secure when they clearly crave any opportunity to savagely pounce on any patron who so much as smells the wrong way. They never stopped to question anyone, they never confirmed with the complainant that they were dealing with the right group of people, and they never provided anyone with an opportunity to freely and peacefully leave the club. They quite simply stormed and conquered. That is no way to conduct a respectful business. read more

Ok so I've been to these strip clubs all over the U.S. and I must say this supposed "best" club in Denver area is horrid. Let me count the ways: 1) I am not a lawyer but this seems illegal compare to other places in U.S....the entrance cover prices of this place varies...$3 in daytime, $10 during sunset time, $20 after 11pm, etc and price continues to rise up until closing time...$100, $200...who knows price goes up "to infinity!!!" as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story would say. Hmm...does this seem fair or shady?! Once you manage to get inside, you are met with worn out full body tattooed female dog version fascist Hitler himself. She dictate the cover price by sizing you up and what you can afford to pay...I knew I should have dress as homeless bum! lol. Mgmt just nod its head to whatever the junk yard female dog is barking about. So when you get past them there is 2 bars and regular liquor drink will cost you $15 plus gotta pay tips too. Then after you will see the Policia walking around looking at boobies for free....hmm this must be "work benefits" the local tax payers are paying their police department for. btw on a tangent but FYI: farmers have a much more important and dangerous job than cops; yet cops waste taxpayers money with goofy parades when one of them is fallen and hunt down the perpetrator like a dog and forget all the other victims cases...so a cop life is so much more valuable than citizens? Who is the boss and writing the cops checks? But I digress, this strip club sux eventhough it is the only game in town and you can drink past 2am. F. U. Willie ...where is my Shotgun.. lmao...get it.. "Shotgun Willie." read more

I HATE how this place treats their female employees. They exploit their dancers by forcing them to pay in order to work..! This particular location has been involved in a lawsuit since April for breaking labor laws and for being involved in wage exploitation. The sad thing is, this is pretty common at strip clubs in Denver. The dancers here are incredible and do NOT deserve they treatment they have been facing. Shotgun Willie's doesn't care about the well-being of their dancers. They will use any means possible to get people in the door, even if it means welcoming "toxic masculinity." Excuse me, Shotgun Willie's, but you clearly have no idea what toxic masculinity is. Toxic masculinity is the reason someone came to the Glendale location and opened fire with a handgun when he was denied entry. It's the reason why you think it's fine to steal wages from your dancers. The fact that you would then teasingly welcome toxic masculinity is horrific. The dancers are amazing and talented and deserve to be respected by their employers and their employers should look out for them. Welcoming toxic masculinity shows how little you care about their wellbeing AND the wellbeing of your customers. What a giant mess of a business. read more

Posting an advertisement on your "Shotgun Willies" sign that says "toxic masculinity welcome here" is the most dehumanizing and demoralizing sign you could put up for those who are in sex work. Sex work and sex workers matter, and this is a disgrace and embarrassments for your company and employees. Protect your employees. How dare this strip club care more about getting toxic masculine men through the door opposed to protecting their women employees who deserve to feel safe in their work environment. This is repulsive. Whoever wrote that sign should be reprimanded and fired for being such an insensitive and intentionally ignorant person for encouraging sexually predatory behavior. I digress, do not punish the women who work here. The dancers are amazing and deserve respect and their pay. I suggest supporting this club while still voicing your opinion that whoever was in charge of this marketing tactic should not be allowed to be working in an industry that should serve to better protect women. read more

"TOXIC MASCULINITY WELCOME HERE" I came here for a bachelorette party last summer and had a great time. I was blown away by the dancers' athleticism, talent, work ethic, and charisma. You need all of these things to be a good stripper. So I was real disappointed to see Shotgun's sign this week, which essentially gives permission for guests at Shotgun's to assault female staff and dancers. Add this to the former dancers' lawsuit against the club over unpaid wages, and Shotgun's has proven itself to be an establishment that doesn't care about the safety or dignity of the people who work there. Take your money somewhere else. And I hope the dancers take their talents somewhere else. read more

Zero stars if that was an option. The house mom Jaelee made the environment feel hostile and unwelcoming. The way she spoke to people was condescending and judgmental, and it honestly felt like she was trying to embarrass customers instead of help run the place. It ruined what could've been a fun night. Definitely not worth the money. This place would be fine if it weren't for the house mom. I overheard her use the r-word to describe customers, and she also made politically charged, judgmental comments that were completely inappropriate for a business. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional. The vibe was hostile and it ruined the night. I won't be back. read more

As a dancer, there is nothing worse than to walk into a workplace where the manager talks at you instead of to you. Housemoms/dads are wonderful as well as makeup artist and dj, but that dude Matt has issues. Vegas-girls! If you are paying $63 to work (slow and busy days)before tipping the dj and makeup and have to put up with that, go to Vegas. No bullshit and more prosperity. You basically are diving for dollar bills at Shotgun Willie's. The few "higher rollers" that walk in are desperate dudes looking for young coke whores instead of tipping women that actually have skills and look HEALTHY. Save your money for Vegas. read more

i used to be a dancer at shotguns and i honestly have to say its the worst club i ever worked at. the fees range any where from 29-73 dollars a night and you have to tip the DJ and doormen even though they get paid 9 dollars an hour. the girls there are for a lack of better words "female dogs" they dont care about the costumers they only care about getting their money. they are dirty too most of the girls have drugs in their lockers. and the manager Matt he is the worst. he treats his girls like crap. just like he tells girls he don't need them, the girls don't need him. read more

I've been a patron here for many years and lately things have not been the same. I was there on September 29 Tuesday night and witnessed the staff drinking. The Hispanic girl who was bartender at front bar was extremely intoxicated and disappeared for an hour. I then watched as the bar back attempted to cover for her. I did try to approach the bald headed manager yet he was very belligerent and could barely walk. Most of the staff was drinking and service was extremely slow. Not sure who is running this place, but they need to get it together. read more

It's stupid and sad to post a sign welcoming Toxic Masculinity at a place where women work. I have good friends who've been dancers and strippers and who were treated with respect where they worked. This location obviously doesn't give a crap about the women who work there and cares more about getting men who feel threatened by women through the door. I hope the dancers stay safe until they can find a better club run by grown ups to work for. http://www.westword.com/news/shotgun-willies-strippers-say-club-ripped-them-off-in-new-lawsuit-9049435 read more

The "vallet" guys (mainly the huge obese bald one) are complete pieces of scum. I provide a sober ride home for their patrons. I never block traffic yet they proceed to scream at me over things that THEY or their PATRONS have control of, not me. I will no longer be providing this service for any customer or employee of shotgun willies. Your customers are going to have to wait around outside a little longer now, because that is one less available Uber driver. read more

You had to know people would respond to this ignorance, right? "Toxic masculinity welcome here" is trash. Now, (before you apologize and dismiss it as fun/jokes) you had to have understood the meaning of toxic masculinity on some level to even have advertised this problematic, careless and dangerous rhetoric. This posture is dangerous for the women who work at this establishment and for the women and men who patronize it as well. We KNOW you know better. read more

this was the worst club ever.. all the girls were high on drugs or drug dealing.. the dancers looked like a car hit them and they covered it with makeup... the drinks suck bad barley any alcohol which you will need to make them appear half way decent.. don't bring your girlfriend here she will not ever go with you again.. my girlfriend left madd as hell cause i brought her here.. go to diamond.. at least there not druggies... read more

White man here. "Toxic masculinity" is not some PC SJW fantasy. We're raising our sons with some truly evil ideas about how to treat other people that they share their community and nation with, and it has got to change. It's not funny, it's not a joke, it's real and makes the world a sadder, meaner, crueler place. There's nothing wrong with a strip club. There's a lot wrong with appealing to the worst among us. WWJD read more

Posting a sign that "toxic masculinity is welcome here" is despicable. Toxic masculinity isn't a joke. Saying you welcome it at your establishment is tantamount to saying you not only approve of, but *actively encourage*, sexism, abuse, and domestic and sexual violence against women, girls, and anyone who isn't a cisgender man. Be better. Grow up. You're hurting people. read more

Atmosphere my guys and I loved very relaxed everyone thats in there is high energy wanting to have a good time. Also the girls were killer hot and had dance skills. Will go back there! read more

Dirty club with super sleezy gistapo-esq staff. Horrible experience! Spend 2 extra buck and a 30 second drive up the street to penthouse. This place is a sad joke. You'll be lucky if you leave with only crabs. Such a degrading atmosphere and staff. The dancers are closer to sex slaves than independent women. How is this place legal???? read more
