50 Best Bars near Live Oak

“These daiquiris are dangerous! Went out for ice cream and found this place on a whim! Got a liquid marijuana and boy she was rude asf! One moment you’re sitting there enjoying the great flavor and then you stand up to go grab a water and you can’t feel your legs! I can’t stress enough how great everything is!“

“My father in law had dinner there tonight, used to be my mother in law and his fav place to eat. She passed a few weeks ago. Manager came up to him and offered his condolences and paid for his meal. So classy and thoughtful. They really made it a special night for him ❤️“

“Gave it a four only because of Monica the bartender she’s amazing. Doorman Gonzo however is a power tripping joke. A group of us came in 8 to be exact 7 females one male, we came in from the monthly truck meet. All but 3 females were mid to late 40’s including myself (49) the male my boyfriend is 51 we walk in go to the bar and Gonzo shows up out of no where (wasn’t at the door) and starts telling me I need your ID, the younger ones had theirs mine was in my truck, I told him my date of birth clearly I’m way over 21 but then he starts power tripping, Monica told him no it’s fine they’re of age and he proceeds to repeat over and over obnoxiously “I need to see ID” what a joke normally I’d be flattered however he was just being a j**** we go in there frequently during our truck meets and I’ve never experienced a doorman abusing his pseudo authority they way he did, I’ll make sure when going there next month we send a scout in to make sure that j*** isn’t “manning” the place. I will say that I’ve always had really great experiences with all other bartenders and doormen there.“

“The best cocktails and bartenders around!“

“Worst traveling experience ever! Being stuck in San Antonio airport for a day and I was at my wits end until I came across this restaurant. The lady at the front desk, Laronza greeted us with welcome to beer code!. She had to have read my facial expressions becase as we walked up she was smiling and very cheerful to be working in a airport. There were only a few people ahead of us and she was like a captain or somewhat on a ship. Laronza asked our name and how many and wrote it down. She let us know that she would get us all sat down in a few minutes and went to cleaning tables very quickly. We sat up front near the bar area, the food was great, a bit too warm but this place was very inviting and the food was amazing!“

“We LOVE this cool, local, family-owned one of a kind, San Antonio treasure! So, so, So many choices in beers, ciders, mead, ipas, Lambics, mixed drinks and wine. The drink menu is 10 pages!
On top of the unbelievablely gigantic number of drinks choices the food is excellent. Try the Pork Bao Buns, best I've had since leaving Hawaii, definitely the best I've had in San Antonio. Even the fries are excellent!
In addition to the phenomenal drink selection and creatively tasty food selections, those place has grass atmosphere. They often have fun themed events, like tiki weekends, octoberfest, IPA fests and live music. The building itself reminds we of some of the German beer halls I've been in with its high ceilings and dark wood, while the outside patio are is a great place when the weather is nice or for a large loud group.
I believe the reason this place has some of the best servers with knowledge on everything offered is because it us a private, family owned place. They really want their customers to have the best experience possible and are so friendly and helpful.
Everybtimecwe have friends or family visiting we take them here.
Go, support a local family's business and drink up!“

“This place is a local’s dive that invites anyone in. Unlike most dives, where if you’re not “in” you get poor service or feel like an outsider, it’s universally welcoming. The bartender Sam makes sure you are taken care of. This isn’t a cocktail bar, but if you want a cold beer and a shot of whiskey, this is the place for you. It’s a place where nobody knows your name, nobody cares who you are or where you’re from, but everyone would give you the short off your back to help you. Sam is a driving force behind this.“

“Great band playing. Fun atmosphere“

“My first visit to Eden will absolutely not be my last. The entire experience was fantastic!“

“I had a few hours to kill while waiting for a flight to arrive. Figured I’d check the place out and i was SO happy i did! Barflys has everything! Great drinks, fun trivia, friendly regulars, and most importantly, Lorrie! I’m fairly certain she can bartend other bartenders out the (fire)water. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience ☺️ I will most certainly visit next time I’m in the area! 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I recommend you go there because you see all the girls there all of them that say they don't go there they go there lol“

“The Hollow Bar In San Antonio Tx.💯🙏“

“Nothing! The bar owners, especially Heather is extremely unprofessional and makes up stories and lies about patrons. Bar is far too loud to enjoy, very unsavory atmosphere of high school meets a gossip girls. Would NEVER recommend! Used to be forced to go now I'm thankful to have found more authentic, reliable places where the owners don't bother their patrons. Thanks but no thanks 😽 I expect a lovely, hateful response from...how did she put it 🤔, the "friendliest and kindest person"...I'd hate to see a bad day if that's true 🤣“
