When someone goes to the bar to order a drink but also orders a shot to take quickly and secretly. Often the person doesn't think other people notice but they do. They order the shot and take it at the bar leaving behind the shot glass evidence that the shot ever occurred.

Formerly: a place to go to buy "a shot" of liquor if you are underage, or if the area is a devoid of bars.
Recently: a place to buy liquor or drugs, and if things go badly, you could get shot.
The locations are usually at "holes-in-the-wall" or is on a "back road". You are generally allowed in if someone knows you as an acquaintance (or "friend"), otherwise you are watched suspiciously and it could end badly. They do not have a license to sell open containers nor to sell alcohol to-go so participants generally avoid police, State Alcohol Beverage Control Department, and ATF (and DEA). Participants also may come and go high or intoxicated, much like at an actual bar.

Kelly: The shot-house has too many cars halfway in the narrow street now that it is payday.
Ken: There is as much scrap metal on the ground from beer cans as there are shell casings at that shot-house.

A type of small alcoholic beverage, taken as a shot with a 'back' to chase it, named for a conspiracy theory which posits that the U.S. government invented it as part of a health trend to get people to buy more vodka and pay more excise tax on liquors. The shot is usually taken as follows: 1-2 ounces of Vodka (usually Tito's gluten free) taken as a shooter, followed by a chaser mixing olive oil, turmeric, and Bragg's liquid amino. The sourness of the amino sometimes causes people to gag after the vodka, but if one can keep it down, the olive oil is supposed to help coat the stomach against the acidity and soak up some of the alcohol, preventing hangovers.
I went to Erewhon this morning with Tabither, and afterwards we went out on the Strip and took Government Shots all night- I mean, I've got a shoot tomorrow. I've gotta be fresh in the mornings, but I've gotta party, too. The Government is underrated.
