40 Best Dive Bars in San Antonio

“The Mix Bar In San Antonio Texas.💯🙏“

“Nostalgic venue with great music but some drink prices are a bit extreme. I'm a big spender with a $100+ average bar tab, but $11 tequila shots with no other options is a bit excessive. It's just tequila guys, not fuckin' cocaine.“

“Texas T Pub In San Antonio.💯🙏“

“Excellence place to hang out and enjoy great music and dancing. Comfortable atmosphere around amazing interesting people to chat with. Always fun!“

“Now this is a one of a kind great bar! Has a hometown feel with super friendly staff and cool regulars that make you feel super welcome. Everyone's laughing and having a great time. Music is great and the mixed drinks are on point. It's rare to find bartenders that takes pride in there drinks! Will definitely be back again.“

“This is my go to bar, I love the atmosphere and how friendly and welcoming the staff are!! They make great drinks and they have fun karaoke nights (I think on fridays and sundays). If you are looking for a bar with great drinks and great people you should come here!!“

“Always a great time , staff is friendly and atmosphere is great!! Love all the dart 🎯 players that play out of this bar they are stellar players!! Love you guys!“

“Amazing hospitality to us outsiders. Carol was a great bartender and the regulars were open to sharing stories. Wish we lived closer. From the one regular saying I hope you didn’t come up here trying to turn us blue(we are from NY) my response is we are from the real NY- upstate. Let’s turn all the states red! ♥️“

“UPDATE : got into contact with the owners and they completely rectified the situation I am pleasantly surprised and impressed with the owners ability to amend the impression my former review left on me

ORIGINAL REVIEW :Bartenders are great the service is the only reason I’m giving any stars the service was great but it’s a karaoke bar on Saturday so we come for karaoke but the DJ does t have a very big mic of songs came twice and doesn’t have the stuff we want to sing , if rock is your vibe only they’ll have your song for sure KJ’s group of friends came in and kinda hogged the queue KJ is kinda rude and came after us in facebook comments will likely never be back our first time bartender told us this is their normal KJ for karaoke and suggested we come back in 2 weeks we return and it’s the same guy so I ask on Facebook for suggestions and he ( the guy running karaoke at baseline) immediately comments how he has all the fun songs weird to be in my comments while you’re supposed to be working“

“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 🤣“

“Best bar in town! The bartenders are ALL amazing! So nice and fun to hang out with! 10/10 recommend!!“

“bartenders are what make the place“

“pitcher Miller lite and double shot of jack is my drink, jukebox blisters out Slayer, lamb Of god while the pool leagues rack away. Good place to throw darts and watch some Spurs, Nascar or Football. The bartenders are attentive and they even have a outside smoking area. Good place to meet new people and you can bring your pet.“

“Great atmosphere! Good music“

“Big shout out to Alex! He was the only bartender/server on board last night (Saturday March 21st) and slayed it! I thought he was toast when a wedding party came in, but no! He did it all! IDK where the rest of the staff were but Alex is a beast!“

“Cullums Attagirl In San Antonio Texas.💯🙏“

“As soon as you drive up, we were greeted and offered a sample. Staff was very friendly and helpful with giving us a paper menu. They do have a barcode to scan as well. Their recommendations did not disappoint. I actually went 2 days in a row. Really nice treat since I wasn't from the area. Again, staff was very nice, courteous and friendly.“

“A cool nostalgic southside joint with an ode to lucha libre. An easy going welcoming staff with decor that reminds me of some bars in Nuevo Laredo Mex. The beers r ice cold n they host a variety of bands n Djs from heavy metal to goth and indie music.“

“don't know where it at but would diffinently wish I could Ms Melissa“

“I remembered this place. It is a great place to be. I played billiards, I got along with people, I remembered Buddy, I knew the the owner Alice. She made feel welcome, the next time when I get there, I will go and visit. Hopefully, I hope Alice remembered me.This is Wayne.“

“Sydney is a fantastic bartender and the atmosphere of the bar is great! it's super chill and a fun place to hang with friends.“

“We played a tournament and spent a good 9 hours here. This place exceeded our expectations. No it’s not fancy, yes there can be improvements but it was cozy for the day. Same for the fields, not fancy but playable. Plenty of seating, more than enough shade, food, and a very caring owner/manager. They provided water for the players, handed out ice pops to the little kids watching the games, even walking around periodically to ask if your okay. There are bleachers as well as tables and chairs/picnic tables. 2 fields. Yes you can bring wagons and your own chairs too. Recommend a fan during the hot months. Plenty of room to play around for kids that get restless. For food it ranges from what we saw about $4-$8, they offer hamburger, fries, nachos, Dino nuggets. We paid $6 for Dino nuggets and fries. In the morning they offered breakfast tacos- chorizo/egg and bacon/egg. The only downside to this place is the restrooms. In the women’s some doors did not have locks and the toilet paper rolls were sitting on the back of the toilet. The upside for parents that want to drink during the game, they let it happen!“

“Great place, people really truly express themselves in so many different ways that I didn’t know was possible.“

“Every time I come here the bartenders are always so nice“

“Kaitlyn (sp?) served my partner and I on Thursday night and she was just lovely. The drinks were fantastic and she was so friendly and sweet.

The pickle shots are INCREDIBLE and I bought a bottle of their special Sirius Salt because of how tasty it was.

Will def be back next time I’m in San An ❤️“

“Lots of great staff and fun place to drink!“
