The Shot Cellar's three-tier shot wheel on the wall behind the bar, photographed from below against a painted mural

Fort Worth · West 7th · Since 2018

Over 400
Shots.
One Wheel.

Nobody can pick. That's fine. Tell the bartender you can't decide, they spin the wheel, and the wheel decides for you. Best nights in this place start exactly like that.

Kitchen 5pm to 11:30pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Food comes from ShipWreck, our sister bar.

When
Mon–Fri 4pm–2am · Sat–Sun 12pm–2am

What this place is

A bar built
around the shot.

Not a bar that happens to sell shots. Over 400 drinks on the list, most of them ours, most of them you will not find anywhere else. Built like cocktails. Served in one.

And if a shot sounds like too little, say so. Any shot on this menu gets poured full size for the same money. Yes, really. No, we won't charge you extra.

Read the menu
Five shots poured in a row along the bar with the wheel behind them
Close on The Shot Cellar's three-tier shot wheel: Flatliner, Motor Oil, 151 Ways to Die, Liquid Heroine and dozens more named around the rings

The wheel

Too many
to choose from.

That's the whole idea. Tell a bartender you can't pick, they spin, and that's your shot. Three rings, all spinning on their own.

Big ring is the crowd pleasers. Middle ring is drop shots and house favourites. The little one at the front is the Death Wheel, and everything on it is horrible on purpose. People queue up for it.
