  This is my favorite bar in Cheney and I've never actually been to trivia night.  It's a good bar to catch a drink, hang out with friends, and meet other people.  On a full night you can always have a good time watching people try and sing karaoke or even try yourself.  On a passive night you can have a brew and play some pool.

  Friday night is Trivia night.
  
  I come to Cheney at least once a month and I usually stop by here when I'm in town. It's a nice little bar with pool, air hockey, darts, arcade games, a dance floor and a stage for Karaoke. I always have a good time here because this place has a good atmosphere and friendly waitresses.
  
  They have a nice selection of beer and they even have their own beer, Eagles Pub Brew, which is not to bad. The food looks pretty good but I can't really comment as I've never actually eaten here. I usually just stop by to see my old friend who comes here for the trivia. Note that the place is jam packed during trivia but once that's over the place thins out pretty quick.
  
  If you ever find yourself in the little college town of Cheney this is not a bad spot to stop in and have a drink. I know I'll be here at least once a month like clock work.

  I own one of the other bars in town the Basement.  I agree I used to spend my time at eagles pub when it was Showies.  This is still a nice spot for some karaoke or for great real bar food.  The staff is nice and as a perceived competitor they have always been friendly to us.

  Showies (how I will always know it) used to be the happening spot way back when I used to go to school at Eastern. First and Last Thursday everyone was there. And, many of us were there every Thursday in between. So many happy, drunken memories were made at and around this bar. We couldn't wait for Thursday to roll around, so we could plan our trek to Showies. For some reason, everyone seemed to pile into my car and we would drive the mile from our apartments at 800 West One, then end up walking the mile back, because we had too much beer.
  
  But, last September I went back to Washington for a friend's wedding. The only way I could get a $5 plane ticket was to leave on Thursday morning and fly back Monday afternoon, leaving me enough time to take a roundtrip driving tour down memory lane.
  
  My first night, I drove from Seattle to Cheney with just enough time to watch the sun set behind me. After settling into my room at the Willows and taking a shower, I found out that the Willows no longer ran their bar. I drove down the street to where Showies was, and took a peek inside. There was no sound and only a couple old men. Sure, it was the Thursday before the weekend/week everyone started moving in on campus, so it was to be expected. But, there will always be the college kids who end up sticking around over the summer because they scored a sweet deal on an apartment (the 1 bedroom I had cost me $475, but would cost me at least $1200 in the Bay Area).
  
  Instead of going in, I went across the street and noticed something that appeared to be a new bar. I walked in and realized I had to walk down the stairs. Oddly enough, the place was called The Basement. "Strange," I thought to myself, "this looks exactly like the place I partied at so many nights while going to school here. And, we used to call it The Basement." Turns out that one of the people who used to hang out there with the regular crew who lived and partied there. He ended up buying the place and converting it into a bar.
  
  Anyway, I was the first patron, and as I was about to leave, the bartender started chatting. We had a great conversation about how much Cheney has changed... And that The Basement is now the place to go every First and Last Thursday.
  
  After a couple beers, I went and nabbed my camera, and went snap happy. By 11.30pm, The Basement was full of college students, and I felt right at home.
  
  Point of the story? Showies is no longer the place it once was. It is amazing how things change and how traditions move on to bigger and better things. But, if I have kids and take them on a tour of my life before children, I will make sure to take them to Showies and tell them the stories of how big a part it played in my life. Weep, tears in my eyes...

  AKA: Showie's
  
  I must say this was the spot when I was in college. I had many fun nights at this bar. The service was always excellent and the drinks always flowed. Aside from the boozing and dancing the night away, they serve food!! And some darn good food at that. They are know for their burger baskets and I hear the pizza is fantastic, but I love their potato munchies and ranch (that they make in house).  They have tons of games, pool, air hockey, darts, arcade... dancing and dj's. Showie's will always be a fun memory from college.
