Brand overview
Founded in 1990 by Dan and Julie Volmert, Hotshots Bar and Grill set out to bring great food, beers, and times to St. Louis. That fun party atmosphere quickly took off, establishing a winning concept that became a leader in the sports bar industry. Today, the second generation of Volmerts, led by their oldest son Matt, is taking the family-owned brand to the next level and expanding into new neighborhoods across the country.
