Showtown Bar & Grill - Bar in Gibsonton - 10902 US Hwy 41 S, USA

Fun place! Live music weekends. Karaoke, One Plastic tip dart boards a couple pool tables. $3.75 16 oz PBRs what more can you ask for? Maybe 50 cents cheaper. Really good food in the kitchen too at reasonable prices. You want a salad they have a couple offerings.

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.

The food was good. Nice and cool Inside. Our waitress was excellent.

Very good bar & grill place. They have a nice atmosphere both inside & outside. Very well recommended.

I love it. I’ll come all the way down here from Manatee County just to come and get a mushroom Swiss burger. Sure will cook the order you got it. Thank you show town.

This is by far one of the best places to go for karaoke, live music or just hanging out with friends. The food is amazing! My favorite is the loaded tots with fresh jalapeños. Prices on food and drinks are very reasonable. What makes Showtown amazing is the staff is friendly, attentive and welcoming. The other patrons are friendly and diverse.

I lived in Gibsonton for many years until we decided to sell our home and move a little south of there. I used to frequent show town when the original owner was still there. We still come through every chance we get as we still come to visit our friends. I will say some things are better since the bar has been passed on to a family member I don't hear about fighting as much but I will say some things are not. The past few times we stopped through there we ordered food we were not impressed. Normally show town has excellent food but this cook that they have back there it took her forever to get our order out and then it was overcooked. When the bartender who by the way was extremely nice said something to her about overcooking our food she gave us a dirty look as if it was our fault. Usually we go there and there's a man working but for some reason it's a really tall girl back there maybe she was filling in? I feel like maybe she didn't pay attention to what she was doing or maybe she just doesn't care and is there for a paycheck. We came back at night time a couple times and it's a good time don't get me wrong but I get a little uneasy when my wife goes to use the ladies room and there's residue from cocaine on the sink and pieces of plastic that probably belong to a baggie. Then we see the same girl that was cooking our food hanging out which is no big deal but why does she keep going to the car with some guy and all I can see was their heads going down so what does that tell you they were doing? One of two things right. They weren't the only ones there's a lot of drug activity there I think the new owners don't know about but I would think that an employee would represent their self better. I will say they've done a lot of upgrades to the place because at one time it was a pretty rowdy place that's just Gibsonton right haha we are a carny town known for partying.

Welcome to the world’s famous SHOWTIME, super friendly local crowd, very accommodating staff, good music, cold drinks, HOT food.
