Hello and welcome back to another episode of Shotgun programming.

Sorry we went away for a bit there. The horse post overwhelmed us and we needed a breather.

Up next, a series of photos shot in venues that are not Shotgun Willie's but definitely photos of your friendly Shotgun beverage tenders (not to be confused with chicken tenders).

We played a game of "let's make up a bag of props and take some lovely photos of the staff on tour with some disposable cameras over a feed at Africola and some wholesome bowls at a bowling alley that lets you bowl bowls and take photos on disposable cameras with a bag of props after a dinner at Africola".

But it's back to business time and as you know, we are serious about our business.

Two for one tacos tonight. We do pork tacos with pork in them now also. There are drink specials tonight too, I just can't remember what.

$10 cheeseburgers on Wednesday + some live music from a musician that plays live country music. Not sure which one.

Line dancing on Thursday + cheap chicken tenders (not to be confused with beverage tenders).

Weekend.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

LISTEN UP!

We have a terrible idea but do not have the capacity to bring it to life ourselves so we’re putting an offer on the table…

First person to bring a horse to Shotgun Willie’s (horse must fit through the front door or the horse will be told to take a hike) gets a year long all you can eat and drink pass for Shotgun. Enquire within. Bring horse = cheeseburgers and beer.

Anyway, here is a song called Beer For My Horses that is about cowboys serving justice accompanied by some photos of the Shotgun Sheriffs reporting for duty.

Disclaimer: Horse must be real

Secondary disclaimer: Horse must also be alive…

Third disclaimer: Shotgun Willie’s will not be held responsible for any horse/horses that fall through the floor into Memphis.

Fourth disclaimer: Horse must provide consent to be filmed

Fifth disclaimer: Horse must provide consent by splitting the G

Seriously though, someone bring us a horse. We’ve been simmering on this for years.

In the spirit of the delightful weather currently being bestowed upon us, we are introducing a new menu item for you (but not Uber Eats because the dogs take too big of a cut).

Welcoming to Shotgun Willie's for the first time - the grilled chicken taco.

It's innovative, it's flavourful, it's a culinary masterpiece, it's chicken. Just in time for the Michelan Star to make its way to Adelaide.

Here is a photo gallery of the same 3 tacos shot at different angles because photographers are expensive and we haven't had this in the venue to get enough content yet.

1- side profile - sexy, yet sleek. Nothing left to the imagination. You can see it all.
2- 45 degrees - I sense you, I'm turning to you, I want you
3- slightly less than 45 degrees - I have found you. Look at me. Love me.
4- help
5- bonus - asher making bechamel sauce for a new drink concept (his drink concepts are atrocious)

We've decided to do yet another revolutionary thing that you've never heard of. Taco Tuesdays. 3 tacos, for $9. Out of control. We know.

Starting from tonight. Come say "hey, whoever does your social media needs to shut the f**k up and get to the point, but can I also get 3 tacos"

FYI when Taylor sang "this night is sparkling, don't you let it go. I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home", this is what she was talking about.

Hi.

We here at Shotgun Willie's are all about the finer things in life. And as a dedication to our admiration and love for you, the punter, the patron, the pain in the ass at 1.45am on a Friday night, we have made it our life's (yes lifes) mission to provide those fine things to you.

We're talkin burgers with real plastic cheese. We're talkin wagyu beef leather seating, we're talkin hand crafted from start to finish bourbon and cokes. And what's next? Never seen before, never done in house, not once ever in the history of bars or Shotgun Willie's, warm drinks.

What's on the menu, you ask? Well thanks for asking. It's a drink... that is warm. In fact there are two of them.

What's in those warm drinks you ask? Fantastic question. You got alcohol. You got other stuff. And the other one also has different alcohol and other stuff.

So don't be a stranger. Get on down to your local Shotgun and experience a nice fresh cup of never seen before warm yum, courtesy of the team at Shotgun (charged at RRP).

Shotgun Willie's, you ask for it, we might do it (a lot of your ideas are rancid though so we probably won't). Giddy up.

“Team are going to f**king kill me for saying this, but it has to be said...

We just sold more spirits in one weekend than we have ever sold, and it was a bunch of Victorian toffs that took the trophy. I’m f**king livid. Like don’t get me wrong, we love cracking records over here, but at the cost of a bunch of Melbournians taking it away from the home grown die hards (hats of to the locals that braved the imports and came anyway) makes me want to eat 2 large supreme pizzas and be sick on myself.

For the love of God, I am begging you all to rally together as one community, one body, one power, and take back what should be rightfully yours, one tequila shot at a time (responsibly though, RSA and whatnot).

Disclaimer: Victoria, we don’t actually think you’re toffs that much. It’s all for the love of Shotgun Theatre.

PS. Sorry team, I know its been a rough few weeks. Hang in there. We’ll shut the doors and have bonfire somewhere soon.

PPS. If anyone knows anywhere we can legally have a bonfire, please inform us immediately, as I have just publicly promised our team a bonfire staff party...

PPPS. If anyone wants to host a Shotgun Bonfire Party, also please inform us. I think I have an idea.”

Hi. Shotgun here from Shotgun Willie’s restaurant and wellness retreat. We’re presenting to you today to say “hey, thanks for drinking enough gas to keep the lights on for 5 big years of something that somewhat resembles a moderately professional business that is somehow walking the line well enough to not get shut down and help me (Shotgun) pay my rent on time and feed my dog”

I (Shotgun of Shotgun Willie’s) have decided to write you an acrostic poem to celebrate our 5th birthday:

S is for Shotgun (me, Shotgun of Shotgun Willie’s)
H is for how do I tell my mother I will sell p**s for a living until the day I die
O is for Old Greg who has nothing to do with us whatsoever but is my favourite Mighty Boosh character
T is for Tomatoes, which we don’t put in our burger because we are legit and make classic cheeseburgers like we should because we are legit. Also tomatoes are gross, unless they are sauce, which we do put on burgers.
G is for gun, a word that is hidden in Shotgun Willie’s (and also in my name, Shotgun)
U is for Unbelievable that ACC haven’t closed off the road yet. It’d be such a party down here if they did
N is for Nimrita, who is the heart and soul of our venue (eat rocks, Nick, you left us)

W is an upside down M which stands for Miranda who loves beers and darts
I is for I cant believe we’re doing so many 2 for 1s tonight. We’re going to run at a loss
L is for Lights, which we have lots of in the venue
L is for Lights, which we have lots of in the venue
I is for I am getting over this, my brain is exhausted
E is Eagle Rare, which is like my 34th favourite whiskey we sell (sorry other Nick)
S is for Shotgun. That’s me. Im Shotgun of Shotgun Willie’s

Thank f**k that is over. Celebrating tonight (but also it kinda feels like that every night so I guess see you then or tomorrow or never)
