We have our first review submitted for Gators Wing Shack Grill & Pizzeria in Palatine IL.

Thank you LouSStools hope this is the first of many.

  Like a lot of kids I had one of those cheap dart boards with the baseball field on one side, and the numbers on the other. I never did know how to actually play darts I just throw them at the board and was happy when I hit it.

  Fast forward a number of years, and I found myself stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville North Carolina. I started hanging out in a bar called the Bayou Lounge right outside the main gate. It had everything a young 20 year old boy that had never been anywhere would want. 

  There was about 7 or 8 pool tables, topless dancers and a lonely electronic dart board over at the back side. Didn’t think much about the dart board till I noticed a young pretty waitress playing dart over there one night. I really wanted to get to know her so I asked her how it worked and how to play. I wound up getting pretty good not great, but good enough I played on their bar team for a few years till I got out.

  Fast forward 3 more years I met the woman that will become my wife on a blind date. I introduced her to the joy of darts. Bought her first set of her own darts while we were on our honeymoon near Rock City  just outside of Chattanooga Tennessee. We have been throwing darts every chance we get for over 23 years now. Still not great but we have a great time.

 I have started this web page because I am tired of not finding decent places to play some darts and have a few beers when we travel. I have spent hours trying to find places ahead of time using google and checking for local dart leagues. Allot of the dart leagues haven’t updated their pages in years or they do not have a list of the places they play. I have found some bars, and they are either private, dart boards are gone, or a band / karaoke is right in front of the boards. Some times its all of the above.

We have found some good places in our searching, and I plan to list them all here. I am hoping this place will get some traction and get others to submit their reviews of the good the bad and the ugly of any place some one can throw some darts and have a few beers.

If you would like please use the contact us page, and submit a review. If i do not have a listing for a place I will create it, and post your review. I will add reviews to any that are already listed.
