The bar was hosting a college country music night on Wednesday, according to its website.
There were reports of pools of blood in the area, and responders shifted the injured to the hospital for medical treatment.
A witness said that a man fired several shots before tossing smoke bombs into a crowded bar.
It is the latest shooting incident in the United States, where gunmen regularly cause mass casualties and firearms are linked to more than 30,000 deaths annually.
