In Short
The inside of this popular joint features a funky collection of signs, statues, stuffed animal heads, and assorted kitsch--a Chili's on hallucinogens. The clientele is as eclectic as the decor: UT frat boys, tree huggers, blue-collar beer drinkers and a few leftovers from when it was the punk rock bar, Raul's. Regulars get their own mugs whenever they come in for a beer. When not in use, the mugs hang on hooks behind the bar.

I've been going to the Texas Showdown for many years now. Long enough to join the prestigious Stein Club (basically my own mug to call my own which will always be there waiting for me.) This bar is well known for three things: 1. Great atmosphere 2. Great regulars 3. Great bartenders Never will you walk into any other bar and be welcomed the first time like you have been going there for years. The people are friendly and the beer is plentiful! So come on down and pick up a conversation, throw some darts, shoot some pool or grab any of the great bar games and have a blast.

I loved this bar back in the day. By all recent accounts men are still men and women still shoot pool at the Showdown.
