Our oldest downtown dive bar. Best Bloody Mary's in town! Opens early and closes late!

Quintessential dive bar. Must try their bacon egg and cheese sandwich (kitchen closes by 1AM) while you listen to tunes you pick out on the touch tunes jukebox. Also has pool table and darts.

Another SanMarcos institution, which is saying something in the fastest-growing city in the US. We have friends who went to school here several (okay, many) years ago, and when they can manage a night away from the kids, they'll hit The Showdown for old time's sake. The exterior was recently zazzed up with a fancy neon sign,but our friends assure us that it's the same ol' Showdown with its vintage decor and piled-high burgers. (Actually, a burger sounds pretty good right now...)
