Best bar in SMTX. The epitome of a dive, in all the right ways. Anything but polished, perfectly so. Staff is always welcoming. Burgers are the best around.

Dean is the man. The ladies behind the bar are super kind. Only place with reasonable prices on the square. Showdown burger is fire!

Horrible service!! Discriminatory and belittling. Bartender was horrible at making drinks and overcharged us twice purposefully. Don’t come here if you’re wanting a welcoming experience.

Asked for 2 lemon drop and was $15. The bar next to it was $6. When we questioned he made a deal out of it brought the other bartender into it. “I thought you wanted top shelf”…. No. I hate when bartenders assume top shelf especially in a college town.

You can't go wrong at Showdown. Great drinks, great food, great environment. All age groups go here
I was in town for work and popped in around 5 in the evening. Chill place, older crowd in the day time on a Tuesday, so do with that what you will. Don't have any further experience but I did meet some locals that invited me to chill next time I'm in town. Mature crowd when I went, plenty of other places to choose from if you are not feeling it. I'd say give it a try!

Local saloon with good food.

Very chill, laid back spot to grab a beer and play some pool. Staff is super friendly and hilarious. Chill atmosphere. Going to try the food next time

Pretty good bar food with really great people trying to accommodate you but just limited seating.

Went to Tap Room and the girl wouldn’t take my order so ended up over here where I was instantly swarmed with amazing service from Christina. She made me feel like family and really knows how to run a bar. Burger was amazing as usual and their new fries are killer.
