The Sho-Boat Lounge or Bachelor's Showboat was a Morris Avenue nightclub owned by Al Rocco and Robert Pappas, two of the founding members of The Bachelors musical group.

On the evening of August 18, 1977 Chicago businessman Nigel Harlan was abducted shortly after leaving the club and later found dead in Shelby County. The sensational nature of the crime imperiled the fledgling Morris Avenue entertainment district.
