To continue my day visiting Peru, NE, if you haven't read my review on Cotty's Place...let me put…read moreyou up to speed.... Yes, I went to Peru, NE...here is the story...I was born in Lima, Peru (South America) and a documentary was filmed in Peru, Nebraska last year in order to promote Peru as a brand where all sales will go back to the country, not individuals. Here is the link from YouTube video filmed http://youtu.be/nFtmSE... To make the story short, I traveled to Kansas City, Mo to meet LG and we drove under 2hrs to Peru, Nebraska. You should had seen me taking so manny pictures, super excited, until I was called "Japanese Tourist!!! I wanted it all, the sights, the signs to Peru, NE, the people...Fellow Peruvians!!! So, after our super-long lunch at Cotty's place (3+hrs) we crossed the street into Shooter's Bar. What an awesome crowd, hugeeee....considering it was Peru State University's graduation day party...So we came in and spotted Logan right away (He was featured on the video, and is an AMAZING SINGER...check him out on Itunes Logan Merz!!) ...so we met him, his girlfriend, the bartenders, the owner, the residents of Peru...they all welcomed us with hugs and smiles. We shared some of my Peruvian hot sauce and brought another bottle of Pisco. The ambiance was great! The music was a mix of alternative rock and upbeat tunes, not country music as they featured on the video. We met so many people and we had an absolute awesome time. As we were hanging with the locals...Peruvians just like us, we moved to the patio and it has a ledge that overlooks the main street....yup...we were the cool kids! Many, many pictures later...LG had enough of the Free Beers and I was the DD...We left at midnight. Shooter's also had a wall displaying Dina Paucar's poster from the video. We had such a great time, we returned the next day. we played foosball, had another drink, Michael was bartending, and we continue meeting the locals. We left considering coming back to Peru, NE. The people makes the town amazing and definitely never knew Peruvians were so cool! Before leaving LG added a small piece of black tape we bought at the convenience store and added the TILDE over the word PERU. Amazing times, great bar, awesome warm people. Thank you all!

Shooters is great. Having spent an entire summer living in Brownville NE after coming from several…read moremuch bigger cities, myself and my company members always had a blast at Shooter's.

When we got here there were not very many people, When we left there was a waiting line. We were seated and did not have a long wait for lunch. We had a variety of foods.

This was an interesting spot to spend a Saturday night in downtown St. Joseph. First up: Cheap…read moredrinks. I tried to spend a lot of money. Had a few drinks for my wife and me plus a round for our group on my tab. Total was only $25. I've spent more on two drinks before. Second: The pool tables, shuffleboard, and jukebox. We enjoyed using them all. The shuffleboard needed a little TLC to get the pucks gliding right, but it was a good time. I didn't play pool, but our group had no complaints. The jukebox tended to eat a few quarters here or there, but whatever, we where having a good time. We rolled in at about 9pm and the place was practically empty. By the time we left a couple hours later, it was starting to fill up. Downtown St. Joseph has a lot of potential. Give it a few more years, and it'll be a great spot for dinner and drinks on the weekend.

Very nice and updated look and they usually have complementary popcorn. They have a large area on the other side from the main bar area that can be rented for events, activities or any other sort of gatherings. There is a small separate bar on that side too. Sometimes they have live music, bands, DJ's and Karaoke.

Hello there. I enjoyed my visit here at the First Ward House. The wings here were recommended to…read moreme by another local business in downtown Saint Joseph. It was a good recommendation of some flavorful smoked wings. The place itself presented a cool atmosphere with an inside corner bar or sports bar vibe and a big patio with options to turn into a backyard bbq, sports party or chill hangout. Very cool versatility. The service was very typical of the friendly, chill vibe of the Midwest area. This place (and it's cat) makes happiness.

I came in around 12:30 a.m., even though the bar doesn't close until 2:00 a.m. As soon as I walked…read morein, who I assume was the bartender yelled, "We're done," then proceeded to call me a "btch" and told me to "get the fck out." I was honestly shocked by how I was treated. I live in this neighborhood and work in the service industry myself, so l understand that busy nights and difficult situations happen. That said, there is never an excuse to speak to a customer that way. I've never experienced such hostile and unprofessional behavior from someone while they were working. It was completely unacceptable, and I won't be returning.

My group reserved a room for karaoke and when we walked in the bartender- Ali Lux- started yelling…read moreat us immediately. She refused to serve any of us because she said that one of us was "too intoxicated", even though she clearly wasn't. She then stated she wouldn't serve our whole group and we stated that was fine, we just wanted water because it was so hot (102 degrees) further more we just wanted to use the karaoke room reserved that we had prepaid for. She then preceded to yell at all of us infront of everyone there and called us very derogatory names. She also told us we had to leave. We asked why and she kept calling us names and forced us out and made a scene to lock the door behind us while still yelling at us. We were also warned by bartenders at another bar that she was "awful and extremely rude" and that he "hoped she didn't kill our vibe". 0/10 recommend. I am extremely disappointed in this unprofessional behavior.
