Don’t go there unless you want to drink and feel worse than whenya walked in.The bartender had the personality of a wall clock……….It was almost depressing……….The music was like being sucked into a bad 80’s dream……….It looked like a good spot, NOPE………

It's sad to see what Bar MA has become, as it started as a rather refined, quiet and well-bartended experience. Now, the drinks are off, the music is loud and the crowd are embarrassing drunks who are better off yelling at an icehouse in Southtown. Last visit saw a bartender who couldn't make a good martini to save his life. Switched to what was once a tried-and-true there (an aviation) and it tasted off as well. Bartender said he was missing an ingredient, but made it anyway. No bueno. Shoulda said something before you (incorrectly) made the drink.

I was surprised coming here based on the name and the menu. I was expecting a typical cocktail “lounge”. While there are certainly cocktails, and well made ones at that, this place manages to also be a very comfortable divey bar. Well priced, stellar bartenders, comfy digs, cool regulars. This place is on my favorites list for San Antonio.

This review is long overdue. My buddy Drew took me to his favorite bar in San Antonio and it was Bar Mon Ami. After my first visit I completely understand why it's his favorite bar. The place is just cool and very welcoming. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. Carlos and Rachel were there that night. Carlos made great drinks for us and he even remembered my name from the week before. This place is a hidden gem in the truest sense. It's hidden away on Broadway street and you will miss it if you don't know what to look for. The people that go there are cool and are willing to engage in good conversation with you. They have plenty of parking available as well. This is my favorite bar now. You definitely need to check it out if you want a fantastic experience with excellent customer service.

The staff is amazing. Mixologist's experts for sure. My favorite place to join friends out on the patio after work :)

Located just off Broadway, near the Central Market, this bar is a charming French-style establishment with a dimly lit, intimate ambiance. The impressive drink menu immediately caught our attention. My wife and I chose to sit at the bar, where we were treated to some exceptionally tasty mixed drinks. The prices were quite fair, considering the quality. What really stood out was the bar staff's remarkable service. We particularly recommend trying 'The Rachel.' Additionally, their selection of tequila and whiskey is noteworthy and impressive. This bar is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a cozy, sophisticated drinking experience

Cute bar off Broadway with plenty of parking. It's a bit hidden in the plaza and you could easily miss it. My friend recommended this place and I really enjoyed it! Sometimes there's a lively crowd and other times it's more laid back. It just seems to depend on the day. Really nice drink menu and the bartenders are super accommodating and helpful to recommend drinks you may enjoy.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bar du Mon Ami, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The cozy, dimly lit ambiance exudes charm, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening out.My boyfriend and I decided to stop by for drinks, and we were not disappointed. I ordered one of their craft cocktails from the menu, and it was a true work of art. The bartenders here are top-notch mixologists, and my cocktail was expertly crafted, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor.The staff at Bar du Mon Ami are a true highlight. Joel, Rachel, and Carlos, the bartenders on duty during our visit, were not only skilled at their craft but also incredibly welcoming. Joel, in particular, added a touch of humor and jest to our evening, making our time at the bar even more enjoyable.What I appreciate most about Bar du Mon Ami is its authenticity. It's a local gem that prioritizes creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere for its patrons. Whether you're looking for a casual night out with friends or a romantic date spot, this bar has you covered.I can't recommend Bar du Mon Ami enough. The combination of great drinks, a charming ambiance, and a friendly staff make it a must-visit in the area. I'll certainly be returning for more memorable evenings in the future. Cheers! ??
Not your typical double A bar. A romantic for the couples and chill for the friends. Great music. Great atmosphere. Great service. Excellent choice of drinks.

The ambiance was nice with the bar being tucked away, the dimmer lighting, and the wall long bar stocked with alcohol. They had a lot of different and unique drinks. I did feel like their seating and decor lacked some cohesiveness. But the drinks we had were great! I'd go back to try some of their funky specials.

Bartenders is not rude nor friendly, they seems to rather not making any conversations or drink suggestions. One of the bartender borderline unprofessional with vaping behind the bar, blowing it towards the patrons, cursing out loud her personal drama, and hanging at the end of the bar with her friends. This is like a fancy dive bar.

I like the vibe at this place but I'm suspicious of their price transparency and honesty. Web site and table menu state $8 for my wine. I walked up to the bar (before looking at these price statements) and paid cash, not questioning the $9 quoted. I tipped.
