The best bar food and cold drinks. This is the original carny bar of america. After the carnies and freaks toured the country they came back home here to eat and party. Very fun part of gibtown history. The home of the world's tallest man and smallest woman started this town. Another reminder the bar food here is great. Live music and bike nights are fun too read more

Y'all, the burgers are soooo good! I just had the Classic Burger with cheese and tots on the side( you can get fries or onion rings instead). I also tried their Buffalo Chicken Dip with chips (you can get celery instead). I really enjoyed it! It was tasty. The service was on point. They are really friendly and accommodating. This was my second time here. Last time I had a burger and tried the wings. The wings are really good too! I definitely will be back! read more

Good food but very slow in preparing food even when they are not busy. Prefer delivery as dining area is nothing fancy and table service very slow due to short staffing. Live entertainment was nice but acoustically poor. Reasonable prices and adequate parking availability. read more

The food is fantastic! Way above and beyond bar food! They had an incredible live entertainer! We had the best night!!

Hands down the best dive bar in the area. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with really good food and unbeatable prices, this is it. The vibe is exactly what a great dive bar should be--unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character. Whether you're grabbing a burger, wings, or just a cold drink, everything hits the spot. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor and check this place out--you won't regret it! read more

Cheap drinks, biker dive bar feel with friendly service. I got wrecked, be safe getting home lmao

Simply the best bar food I've had. Their wings, onion rings, and loaded tots are the best. I come here with the neighborhood guys every once in a while and always look forward to it. It's a great little bar. Don't be intimidated by it, the customers and the wait staff have always been good and friendly. Need to mention the wait staff again. They are just a happy bunch of girls happy to see us. I've had lots of wings in my life, and I think these are the best. read more

We had such a blast at this bar! Great atmosphere, the food is amazing and delicious! Nicole was amazing, she was so friendly from the moment she came over to our table! Great customer service with a smile! I had the most delicious bacon cheeseburger I ever had in my life! The philly cheesesteak, fries and fried mushrooms were amazing as well! They have Karaoke Friday nights which is really fun! Thank you Nicole! You are a gem! read more

"Was" the best wing spot give is some time to figure out the cook in the kitchen. Ordered my usual 2 dozen wings blackened and they came out black alright but nothing to do with seasoning. Barmaid was accommodating and apologized and took a order for something else as we sent back those. Man I used to swear to everyone and talk about how great wings were here they literally were the best wings. I hope this comes back. What has happened is they expanded their menu and added flatbreads, salads, tacos and a variety sandwiches. Those are good as are the flatbreads and salads. So def a up and coming dive bar turned sports bar. They have live music on Saturdays and karaoke on Fridays and a couple of other things going on in place of but always entertainment on Friday and Saturdays read more

Cheap beer and good food. Kinda miss the old carnie vibe that was so related to the town, but all in all still a nice place to grab a beer

Always a great time here. It's bar food but good food. Good drinks. Great service. It's a nice laid back atmosphere.

They call it a dive bar but looks can be deceiving. Great bar food, with weekly Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, and a really tasty grilled cheese. Been in business 40 years. Two pool tables and a large bar. Servers are friendly and the drinks are generous. read more

Only went there for drinks, but the wait staff was very nice and friendly. The women's room was very updated and nice. Drink prices were great. Would high recommend if you want a place with good drink prices, friendly atmosphere, pool tables, and music. read more

I don't even want to review this place because I love it so much and I want it kept as a hidden gem. But in all fairness, it needs the 5 star review it deserves. Absolute fabulous dive off of 41 in Gibtown. My full shadoozie when I seek a place to escape to for whatever reason: super cheap/strong drinks, a great menu of really good food items, sports coverage, lively & friendly crowd, PHENOMENAL bar staff and easy parking. Clean, dark and handsome. I love going here. read more

So m just going to apologize up front. I don't have any photos of this place. We went here on an invitation from the owner which we met at another bar. So showtime is a dive var that has been in the area for decades. The owner I met inherited the business from her grandparents who had built the place back in the 80s. The space is nice with a decent amount of seating. The beer was cold and the food was warm. The staff took good care of us and the place was clean. We enjoyed ourselves and would go again if invited. read more

Our favorite hidden gem. Most may think this is a dive bar but we are fortunate enough to have this close by. Always super cold inside and the beers match the coldness. Bring a jacket but preferably a motorcycle one. Fun people inside no matter what time of day. Whenever we have out of town visitors, this is a must stop for the experience along with Beer Shed. Service is always super friendly. read more

I have been goin here since I was a kid. Has had amazing food the WHOLE time. The black and blue burger is my favorite. They will make anything you want if they have it in the kitchen. Great service and great food. Bottom line. read more

Things started off good.. server gave a few recommendations and things she didn't like and seemed pleasant. Food was very good, I ordered patty melt with the tater tots. Problem was when I received bill. First I just got the credit card total receipt and not the itemized. I had a feeling the bill was a little high and asked for the itemized receipt. I then saw I was charged $1.50 for the side of tater tots in addition to the $12.99 for the sandwich but the tip of the menu says all burgers, sandwiches come with choice of fresh cut fries, regular fries or tots. I brought it to the servers attention that there was an overcharge and she said "No I did it right there's an upcharge for the tots" I then showed her the menu and the manager came over. The manager said "well, I'm going to go ahead and give you your $1.50 back but there is an up charge for the tater tots" I again showed her the menu. She then stated that the option for tots as a side was a misprint. I asked and how am I suppose to know that and how is that my problem? How many people do you charge for tots as a side and they don't even know it? What could have been a good experience ruined by lack of common sense and complete stupidity. read more

Oh. My. God! Get the Philly cheesesteak! And don't miss the fries! They are fresh cut and fried! Great place! read more

Don't let the outside fool you. They play great music. The bartender and locals are super friendly. Downside is they allow you to smoke in the bar. If you're not a smoker, this can be annoying. Great, friendly local place to visit. read more

We came to town from California to close on a new home. We were looking for a local karaoke place before we went back home and found Showtown. It looked a little shady from the outside at night but when we stepped inside the atmosphere was AWESOME!!! The drinks were top notch, the food was to die for and the staff was super friendly. The KJ has an awesome selection of songs to choose from and the sound system is great. We would highly recommend this place if you are looking to have fun accompanied by great food, top notch drinks and friendly staff. We're looking forward to finally making Showtown our regular neighborhood karaoke spot. read more

We love eating here! It's a little scary to enter but once you get over that it's great! The waitresses are friendly. The bar food is GREAT! We haven't had anything we didn't like, from breakfast to wings - everything has been good! We'll definitely return! read more
