A fews years back stopped for brunch place was packed with fun&good food!Good luck!!Was also was plenty of bikinis:cheer:

Well, on the whole that is possible, but that area isn't close to Las Olas or the Galleria areas that draw the money. Also, Bokampers does a very diverse food and drink menu. They even have a 12 seat glass sushi bar smack in the middle with seats inside and patio side.

Will definitely be interesting to see if Shooters can draw well on name for starters.

I do hope they both make it, only 300 yard idle to change parties. :daz:

Of coarse they reopened the week after I leave. Thats my luck.

Better call the airlines and hotel. :daz:

Well I stopped in at Shooters tonight, and the did a nice job redoing the place over, but guys I don't think you will see any bikini contest anytime, they went more upscale. We didn't stay for a drink Just was not the old place I new.

Just make sure to stay away from Flip Flops north of Shooters. We stopped in there during the Lauderdale show because I forgot that Shooters was closed. They could at least put rainbow flags out front so people know what they are getting themselves into.:gfight:

Shooting at Shooters this weekend: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/fl-shoot...,3277812.story

FORT LAUDERDALE —
Prior to reopening the remodeled Shooters Waterfront six days ago, new owner Meghan Leckey explained the decision to retain the name of the landmark restaurant this way "Everyone has a Shooters story."

Police investigate Shooters shooting as accidental

An off-duty Miami-Dade corrections officer reaching into his pocket for a valet ticket Saturday evening accidentally triggered his concealed handgun, firing a round that sent ricocheting shrapnel into six or more patrons people, according to police.

A shooting already I guess that's why they call it Shooters???:lolhit:I guess if they do $80k a month it will just float it bad press won't help??:whistle:Tough business this day&age they need a little hush hush $$$$:eekdrop:

Wow....where to start?

Shooters, Bootleggers, Aunt Charlie's......all part of my DNA.

I even tried to impress a skank (or 2) with the quasi- uppity joint next door (1 property south) before skanks don't matter.....enough to impress....

Aunt Charlie's was great for a beer (or 10) for lunch along with calamari during the week.....

But if the seas weren't stupid requiring a weekend in the Bahamas, I was all weekend dockside at Shooters.....usually first or second to tha wood with 8-10 past me.

Aside from athletes foot and a broken ankle from a douche trying to dock his Trojan with no experience on the end of the cruiser raft north end....via schrapnel fiberglass.....I have nothing but the fondest of memories for my tutelage gained there courtesy of my weekend excursions.

The bikini contests were a paramount inclusion.

From a money-making position, it seems as though the new owners want the fame of the name, but wish to reinvent the fortune. The fortune is in the bar....not the kitchen.

Smokers, more than any other casual drinker, DRINK. Eaters, regardless of the quality of food, eat....and drink....get full....and leave.

Shooters has the luxury of being an outdoor (not completely) venue, so the Fl. Clean Air Act does not apply.

Old shooters had the luxury of being and outdoor venue for boaters....some smoke and drink, others drink.....but both watched. Smoke or not, I'm having a jack and coke until the bikinis leave....no interest in a sword fight....I'm not French.

Nice as you like, or old shooters decor, food.......drink......and azz within a few feet of your boat....smoker or not...it is a magical formula for success like no other.

Add in the clientele the venue screams for.....20-30-40 and on something's with a boat? We all know, as passionate as we are about our disease, we have expendable income......albeit not always prudent, but happy to spend. Shooters is the playground of the rich and the wannabes.

If I want fine dinning on the water....I'll go to Yesterday's and hang out for a while in the plum room doin blow.....

Nevermind.....they went out of business too.....and then I lost a lot of customers...
