Showdown

No fuss bartenders. Good prices and almost all the bar games. Great outdoor beer garden. Bathroom for the men is sub par.

Love the prices, the atmosphere, and the service is amazing. Just wish the the bathrooms had locks on the doors so I don't have people walking in while dropping the Browns off at the Superbowl lol

My friend told me to find a dive bar and this is what I came up with. It is the best dive bar I've been in in a long time. I will be back. Have the regulars and they checked us out, decided we were ok, and it was grear. Love this place

THIS is a BAR. If you’re an old school drinker that misses the days of a goos ol’ fashioned neighborhood bar, or grew up watching Cheers and wanted a place where they knew your name. This is THAT bar. I’m saddened it took me 30 years to realize this existed.

Still the same as it was when I was in my 20's, good bar, good crowd, good staff, and steady customers.

Drinks are super affordable! Very friendly staff , and clean . They have a nice patio as well and pool super fun laid back atmosphere

Love this place! Great atmosphere to just chill and catch a game on T.V. Staff is awesome, except Ashley. My favorite watering hole in Arlington heights area. Love the cold beer!!!

An old dive bar, great for cold drinks & friendly conversation. My friends and I enjoy the back patio, & pool tables... this is a NO frills spot, simple..... parking I very limited

Great neighborhood saloon for young and old alike. Regulars are friendly and staff is attentive and efficient. Would not classify it as a cocktail bar, but that's just fine. Couple of pool tables and a back patio that makes it easier to talk (inside features a steady, joyous, low roar). Priced right too. Go check out Showdown!

I've been coming to the Down since it first opened, a lot of changes! John and Amanda are doing a fine job!

This place is awesome! Nice fun chill crowd! Gets super busy and fun later in the night. It's just an awesome bar to hang out at. Love it! Can't wait to go back!

Aside from this place being a smoking bar it is great! The music (although you are at the mercy of the patrons and the juke box) was great the night I was there. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders were great! As far as the food just expect your basic bar food.

Nice little neighborhood bar. Patio out back is nice. Monday and Thursday is 2.00 domestic beer from 7 to 11. Pool table also available.

Good family atmosphere dive bar. Alot of younger adults frequent this establishment in the weekend. The weekdays is usually an older crowd.

Classic dive bar. Friendly servers and inexpensive prices. Decent selection of mainstream liquors and good tap selection. Tons of regulars which is a great sign. Only complaint was door to smoking patio was left wide open and got a little stinky at times. Use the bathroom before you come. At least the men’s looks like something out a serial killer movie. Part of the charm. Multiple pool tables if you want to play. Easy parking.

Loved it. Seemed like a great little locals bar to have a drink or few...great specials! Only reason I didn't give 5 is smoking inside. But it wasn't too busy while we there so bearable. We will definitely be back.

I love hole in the wall bars. This particular one is a favorite of mine in the area. Cheap drinks and friendly people. Music plays all night, pool tables are usually available, outdoor seating available on nice nights. Use the restroom before you go though.

Great prices with friendly service.

Yes it is a local dive bar. The customers many of which are locals are the the best part. You are welcomed with open arms. The outdoor area is comfortable and allows you to talk to others. Not that the music indoors is to loud because it is not. I did notctry any food but that is not why I was there. Prices are reasonable as well

I have loved this bar for YEARS!! Will always love it and come back im sure… The blond bartender the other night was terrible! She was so very rude. I put money in the jukebox and she wouldn’t turn it up just to hear it! Not loud… I just wanted to slightly hear it, she said she didn’t want to have to raise her voice. To who? The other three people in the bar? That aren’t talking to you? It is silent! Except the game noise! Other than her, the place is the best!!!

Happy hour everyday from 2pm-7pm, place is chill, not too bright either. Good little patio out back. Bathrooms are a little small and tight.

Great local place for casual hangout. Smoky. Patrons are friendly, bar staff not so much. Jukebox is cash only but if you put in $5 the bar will match it. Pool tables, darts, Golden Tee, and sports on tv

The bartender is certainly a stand up guy. Not only is he hot he loves his regular customers. In a way that that any dive bar employee should be loyal Erratic Ft Worth natives will be put in their righrful place.as they ahould be. For outsisers, just don't possess any passion. Nod and agree. Great place to drink when hiding ceom life, spouses, deiends. Possibly a decent place to make new ones. Cheap cold beer for sure..

I’m new to the area for the next 2 yrs. Tonight was my 2nd visit to this bar as it is 2 mins from my new home. My first visit was great (wished I could remember the bartender’s name -male ) and I was surprised to be treated soo rudely by a bar tender by the name HEATHER. She would never make eye contact with me and ignored me a few times when trying to reorder a simple beer (in the bottle) as I’m sitting at the bar. Now the other bartender, AMANDA, on the other hand, was a NICE DELIGHT soo I hope to see AMANDA again.

It's alright for a dive bar. The place was kinda crowded and the bar is small. And the music was too loud. Would only recommend if you enjoy bad karaoke or cheep drinks.

Bad news for those waiting to hear—Amanda still works here as of 8/21/21. Just roll the dice like I do. She gave me a lifetime ban and I have been in about 10 times since and missed her. It adds to the excitement.

First off the female got rude with me when she realized that nobody's going to take her over pretentious taking her position out of line we're playing pool in our own vicinity and we can't continue because she keeps on going to put our mask on we're not bothering nobody else they're bringing us our drinks with their masks and we're six feet apart I suggested nobody goes here rude. 🐥

If I could give less than one star I would. I live on Pershing a couple streets away and have been coming for years. However tonight a short brown headed bartender “Amanda” freaked out on a group of 5. Took our unfinished beers out of our hands and said we needed to leave. My recommendation for the bar would be to fire this horrific person who is clearly losing you customers.

Service service service. These are three words that none of the bartenders understand. Expect to be ignored for long periods of time. When you are finally allowed to order, you'll receive disdain. If the entire staff and ownership were replaced with quality people, this place could be a cool hole-in-the-wall.

I've been a "regular" @ this place for about 6-8 months,love the people and the bartendresses, ONE exception (HINT she's blond w/ MAJOR attitude) Not sure if she THINKS she owns the bar, but she acts like she owns the customers and treats most of us like 5 year olds or worse. I've spent on average $500.00-$650.00 since I've been going in buying rounds for the bar, etc, etc, etc. Blondie (for God knows whatever reason) has determined that I'm some sort of a RISK despite none of the others EVER having any problems and being handsomely rewarded for their service and smiles. We had a blowout and the "Manager" decided to "BAN" me for 30 days after 1 beer and once again Blondie Copping attitude with me. Not sure how many bars ban $600.00+ PER MONTH customers who ALL the customers and ALL the bartendresses like, laugh with and LOVE my Service Dog Scout (I'm a disabled Vet). Only one who doesn't like me... the WITCHIE bartendress from HELL. Go here and enjoy, but if you see a blonde behind the bar, RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stopped in tonight after a Christmas party for one drink before we went home. We were not served because they believed we were slurring our words. We weren’t. It is loud in the bar and we had to repeat ourselves to the bartender and she said she wouldn’t serve us. We had two drinks at the party then came over and are way over the drinking age. It was my first and last attempt at a local bar.

Terrible crowd control. The place clearly cant keep from overserving day drinkers or keep rowdy guests in-check. Located right by a family burger joint and the back patio guests cat-call and yell obscenities at people passing by. I live right by the place and I see this happen often. It gets pretty tacky early afternoon when you can hear it from your bedroom window.

The bartender was rude. The regulars at the bar were rude. Felt very uncomfortable. Will never spend my money here. Still tipped her 50% because she should never judge a book by it's cover. Plus I was a bartender myself. I always treated my guests the way I would want to be treated.

I signed my credit card slip and the girl took an extra five dollars for herself that I didn't authorize., update I stopped in to buy a lighter and the old man working the door for the night lies to me and tells me they do not sell lighters

Absolutely horrible. Bartender "Amanda" Don't even bother wasting your money here

I’m a firefighter from Arizona. This bar denied me service because they only accept Texas IDs, I’ve never encountered that before in my life and I’ve had no issues using my Arizona drivers licenses in every state west of the rockies. I guess the rumors about them selling to minors are true and they’re probably on their last straw with TABC. If you’re a first responder or a Non-Texas resident, I recommend you take your business elsewhere. Shame because this otherwise is a great dive bar.

Went there on a Friday night was so full of college KIDS that we could not even get service at the bar, much less play pool. Went in to enjoy an after dinner drink like we have many times before, and it's not the same place . So sad ....
