Shooters

To continue my day visiting Peru, NE, if you haven't read my review on Cotty's Place...let me put you 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 much bigger cities, myself and my company members always had a blast at Shooter's. The bartenders were always wonderful and on any given night we would probably run into the owner. Karaoke nights were some of the best times we had.
