āThe feeling of not belonging, of not being entirely worthy, of being sometimes hostage to your own sensibilities. Those things speak to me very personally.ā ā Anthony Minghella little background: I loved to Bloomingdale about 11 years ago and recently moved into a home in Eckington. I fit the āhipsterā kind of vibe that Show Time is going for. Show Time for the past 11 years has been that place where Iād pop in for a cheap Natty Boh and converse with some local neighbor. However, last night I came in (completely sober), paid the troll troll at the ATM, and sat down in an open chair. Iāve had a tough time dealing with some IT issues at my company this week, Iāve got a baby on the way in a couple months, and damn it I just needed to be in a welcoming place and leave the worries behind for a few minutes by chatting with some local neighbors and maybe even the bartender. However, Immidialaty when I sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. The bartender pointed at me with and angrily asked the everyone at the bar if they know who I was, I came in by myself and didnāt know anyone. I usually order the cheap beer option but this time I just really wanted an aperol spritz. Iām not sure if it was the drink order or what, but he yelled at me and told me that I was not welcome at the bar. He told me to leave immediately. What an amazing experience, right? Is this how you treat 11+ year customer? It was really rude and hurtful. Curious to see if this is just how the culture is generally now and how the management level handles this complaint. Happy to work things out, but I will sadly never support you all again and push for a more welcoming bar or restaurant to replace you after last night. It was that bad. Sucks all around. You shouldnāt ever make a customer feel like that both on a business level but on a human level.

It's one thing to not care about customer service, but it's another to have staff that abuse, threaten and insult paying customers. I think the owner of Showtime Lounge is trying to get sued. Unless you enjoy being treated like trash while ordering and having a beer, I would suggest that you avoid this godawful place. Directly across the street, there is a bar with professional, courteous staff.

Want a good first experience: JUST AVOID SATURDAY, a bartender there is on a power trip and has a short fuse. If you see a tall guy with glasses, and a retired skater aesthetic hope he doesnāt ruin your night :)P.S Heās only allowed to work Saturdays haha

Disgusting place with rude and careless staff. We waited over fifteen minutes just to get beer from a bartender who was acting like he was doing us a favor by serving us. Hard to believe that this wannabe trash heap of a "dive bar" is still in business, especially given that in the time that we were there, we did not see a single person get ID'd - even people who looked very young.
