"A 6th Street dive bar and DJ spot that closed after eight years in 2017, the original Showdown lent its name to the new North Beach bar — Pour Guys partner and executive chef Stephen Crawford and original Showdown owner Johnny Venetti are friends, Crawford and partner Tony Cooney always loved the name, and the new North Beach location even bears some of the old Showdown’s lanterns in its honor." - Caleb Pershan
