Shoot Taproom (enter from back alley)
About
Shoot Taproom is a nightlife and entertainment bar in Johor Bahru known for its craft beer selection on tap and speakeasy-like, hidden entrance. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as chill and unpretentious, with a staff that is knowledgeable about both beer and coffee. The venue serves as a coffee shop by day and transforms into a taproom by night, attracting beer enthusiasts and casual patrons alike.
While guests enjoy the tap selection, note that the price point is noted as higher, which patrons attribute to the cost of importing craft kegs. Because the location can be somewhat challenging to find, first-time visitors might want to look for directions or ask for guidance on accessing the back alley entrance.

Nice place to chill and have a beer. This place has a good vibe and the bartenders are friendly. The price is on the high side but worth it as not many places in JB sell craft beer on taps. They allow the customer to order food from the outside.

This place is amazing!! The first craft beer place in JB. Jane took such good care of me ❤️ apparently it’s a coffee shop by day and taproom by night.

This is the best beer bar in JB, hands down. I travel here from the US and I’m an occasional volunteer assistant brewer for a West Coast brewery I’ve been praying for a place like this to open in JB. On this trip my prayers were answered. Found it on Google Maps. The tap selection is amazing. Pretty much every style is represented but you can turn to the bottle/can selection if they are out of your thing in the draft lineup. The vibe is killer too. These are my people. The whole neighborhood is actually really chill, it turns out. But the owners of Shoot (caveat, I only met Ben and Jane) are super freaking cool and they set the atmosphere that brings in a great crowd. They are laid back, unpretentious, AND knowledgeable about beer (and coffee). I can’t say enough good things about this place. The only hitch is that it’s not exactly cheap,but it’s gotta cost a fortune to import kegs of beer from around the world. Anyone who has spent any time in JB can tell that there is no craft beer distribution channel. It’s non-existent. So these guys must have to beg, borrow, and steal to get their hands on the good stuff. Anyway, if you are a beer lover, brewer, home brewer, or brewery hound…this is your place. Good luck finding it though. It’s kind of Speakeasy-like. Enjoy the adventure though. You’re welcome.

An interesting experience for sure! You gotta order 2 at a time tactically to enjoy the second as 50% off and they are very chill about how you get the 50% so it’s been quite a fun experience. We enjoyed no1 and no12 as the tastiest beer on the menu and it sure did. Only small gripe is that the beer snacks is served like 20mins into our sessions haha. Will be back again to try more ◡̈

Very cool and nice looking place to get your drinks with friends. The beer is really good and smooth to drink🍺 There’s coffee as well if you visit in the morning. Definitely worth the “SHOOT”
