“Hot Shots is definitely a dive bar, but if you’re like me, that’s what you are looking for sometimes. They got a few pool tables and it’s a smoking environment. Like I said, pure dive bar. If you’re a smoker, you’ll probably enjoy this bar. If not, expect to leave smelling like an ash tray. The only reason I took a star off is because the service there is super slow. Talking to some regulars there, it seems to be a normal thing to expect.”

“This is a great dive bar. Have been coming here for years. They have live music on the weekends, pool tables/shuffleboard, and plenty of seating. There are plenty of TVs to choose from and you can tell they are constantly doing little things to update the bar here and there. They have a few selections of draft beer but primarily the main ones you would expect. Miller light, Bud Light, and Coors light. The mixed drinks are good and they also have a bottled beer selection.”

“Yea yea this was a cool bar. Vibes were cool. You can play shuffle board or pool. Drinks are ok priced a little expensive tbh. Karaoke was super fun and the DJ was awesome, good place to dance.”

“It was the lowest place for a drink in west Texas. It took an average of 30min of waiting in line for a drink of just a beer nothing just a fancy. The bartenders were busy making there own drinks to put on somebody else. Taking drinks in front of customers while they were waiting and trying to get there attention. Was told to just wait and not be so hasty and they wanted to have a drink like the other paying patrians. Don't complain unless you would want to get kicked out for asking for customer service expectancy. Will never go back into the establishment unless it was under new ownership”

“It was a vibrant atmosphere. The karaoke platform is fantastic. Definitely a ideal spot to chill with friends or family. Or even colleagues or coworkers. It's decent.”

“The owner is excellent to his patrons. This is a great place to join the pool league. The drinks are good and the beer is cold. The music selection could use updating but it's okay, I suppose. Pretty friendly crowds.”

“We were looking for a place to go have some fun,and boy did we have fun. If you are in the mood for playing pool and to have some driks,and maybe some dancing hot shots is the place to go to. It can get busy and the service can then get slow but the bartender really tries to get to everyone's oder. Have been there a few times,when it's dead quiet and when it's hectic busy,great place.”

“Staff and ambiance are incredible! Very friendly and safe family-owned bar with the best karaoke and friendliest folks in Midland. Consistently my favorite bar in town!”

“Definitely the cheers of Midland! Great place to have a drink & hang out with friends. super laid-back & casual and yes once you become a regular everybody knows your name 🤷🙂 doesn't seem like much but don't let that fool you guarantee you'll be coming back for more”

“So nice here the bar and staff very friendly and the prices are so affordable. Highly recommend.”

“Watch out for Dave!! Rumple mint, is owned by this guy, run, run, fast as you can! This guy is a great guy and the people are top notch!!”

“Cozy bar. Smoking inside. But the owner is awesome and the karaoke is pretty enjoyable. Love this place.”

“Excellent service..nice pool tables. Karaoke and awesome tournaments..friendly staff customers. And just an all around nice place to chill and have a beer.”

“The bar is a little dark and grungy but dont let it fool you. The owners and employees of this bar are super friendly. Makes you feel like your with family every time your there.”

“The service was ok, especially a lady named Jennie but the manager Dave Chin is horrible and harasses his employees! Just the other night, a few of us were buying some shots for the waitress and as she went to take the shot, Dave says, "Don't buy her shots. She doesn't need the calories." He degrades her a lot and tells her she is fat and that "there are no fat waitresses that work at Hot Shots." This place would be WAY better with more respectable managers/owners who don't discriminate against its employees. P.S. The bartender (Ashley I think is her name) needs an attitude adjustment. She thinks she runs the place and she treats the other staff as if they are beneath her.”

“From the second you walk in it's so fun !! They have a mixed croud they have an awsome Dj and pool tables 😎 definitely a place to be”
