Mike Bates, a former star baseball player at Apollo High School and Phoenix College, didnât want his love for sports to wane. He joined an adult softball team and, naturally, after each game they headed to sports bars to reminisce.Â
Unexpectedly, he bought a sports bar, Six Shooters, in 2008 and rebranded it Bull Shooters Billiards & Sports Bar. However, the battle to obtain a liquor license turned into a fight to save the neighborhood.Â
In its last three months, Six Shooters had 23 calls for police service before Bates took it over, he said. Last year, Bull Shooters didnât require police to visit once.Â

You can get an old school burger at Bull Shooters.
That may not seem so astonishing until you think about how the classic American sandwich has been trending of late. Chefs are keen to pile as much as they can on top of the patty – pickles, onion and cheese, of course, but also gently poached eggs, sliced Granny Smith apples, mac and cheese, soft shell crab, toasted ravioli and the like.
And the folks at Bull Shooters can keep up with the times – sorta. The “buck’n bacon tot burger” with a tumble of tater tots over the patty is about as far as they go.
Bull Shooters has 44 pool tables, 18 dartboards, pingpong and shuffleboard, plus horse racing and karaoke.Â
Bull Shooters owner Mike Bates is known to regulars as âCoachâ or âMaster Mike.â
âEveryone here has big hearts,â Bates said. âThe customers always pitch in for charities and have helped raise over $250,000 through our fundraisers.â
Bull Shooters supports St. Maryâs Food Bank Drives and Toys For Tots.
This is a family affair: Julie, Mikeâs wife, makes home-cooked holiday meals along with other favorites, while their daughter, Jamie, is one of the managers.Â
Bates is offering the 3,000-square-foot banquet hall for free for holiday events.
