Shotgun Willie's is a fantastic club—one of the best I've ever patronized. Gorgeous dancers abound; an energetic party atmosphere prevails throughout; and the waitresses and staff are attentive and friendly. I cannot say enough good things about the place.

The layout at Shotgun Willie's is different from the typical club. Rather than having one main stage and a few satellite stages, there are (I believe) 7 stages, all of equal prominence. The dancers do not start at one stage and then rotate to the others. Instead, when a three-song set begins, 7 new dancers take to the various stages. And then when the set is finished, another 7 new dancers take their places, and so on. This creates a very fluid situation inside the club, as customers move from stage to stage depending upon which dancer holds the most appeal for them. Almost no one parks themselves in one seat and stays there the entire time. This dynamic within the club keeps things from ever getting stagnant.

The service is exemplary. If I needed a fresh drink, I never had to wait more than a minute or two before a waitress would come by to take my order. And there was never any pressure to buy anything. Plus, the waitresses were unfailingly polite and friendly.
