“It is a good place to relax and visit until the bands show up. Then you can't hear each other. The Crispy Chicken is the BEST in San Antonio area! It would be nice if they had more draft choices. Usually only have 4, but they have several varieties in cans and bottles. Park early or else park across the tracks.“

“Owner is a good person, the experience is phenomenal, the food, company, and environment is phenomenal. Owner isn’t about most profit but caring for the good people out there. Highly recommend“

“Main St. is my favorite bar by a long shot. With cheap drinks, great bartenders, and daily specials, it never disappoints. The bartenders are what really keep me coming back; I never have to wait long for a drink, and they often ask if I want another before I’ve even finished my current one.“

“First time there so we will see“

“Great karaoke talent at this bar.“

“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 🤣“

“Awesome bar with great people, friendly staff, and unbeatable prices! Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good vibes. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Baker is the best she always has great drink recommendations and over all great service! I recommend visiting baker to who ever I can!

We stopped by on the way home for a couple drinks, and I thought the plant needed some water, so they watered it for us. Absolute heroes.“

“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! ♥️“

“Chelsea was the best ever. She was quick, efficient, worked her butt off, was very nice, professional, and made a first time at a new bar very nice.“

“This place is outstanding, me and my Son went for our first time and I have to say that this Billbard’s place is awesome. We played pool for 3 hours, we had the fried mushrooms and the pizza pockets that come with fries and I have to say that the food was delicious. For me and my son to play pool for hours and to eat everything came out to exactly $45.00 which is outstanding. Had a great time and I will definitely go again and will be recommending this place to my family and friends. The only thing that I wish they had was a price list of how much they charge to play pool on their website; for example I found out that day that on Monday’s active duty or retired Military personnel get to play pool for free all day, oh and another great thing, you can bring in food from a different establishment but no drinks. That’s amazing where else can you do that? Again, me and my Son had a blast and I definitely tell people go and visit you will not regret it.“

“Tasty drinks, great service (even when busy). Lots of spots to lounge and enjoy a drink. Please note, no food here, people seemed to be confused about that. Probably from the food pics on here, but they don't have food at the bar (at least not when we were there and people were asking for it). It does close a little early, so that's the only bummer.“

“Down to earth staff 🍻🍺👍🏻👍🏻🌹“

“If you are Boricua and you think it is Puerto Rican style, it is not. The music is not bad, but it lacks the Latin touch. They don't have anything to eat, you have to go shopping outside at the nearest fast food. Nope, they don't have drinks that are from PR. Only the name of the business is from PR. I will definitely come back because the atmosphere is very good and I think you have to give it a chance.“

“This place was place was okay, the seafood boil was great, was pretty full when we got there first time eating here, parking was also a bit tight.

Parking: Parting was a bit tight.

Kid-friendliness: We did have our children with us, it was kid friendly“

“Wonderful service! Something for everyone on the menu.“

“We had so much fun at Whiskey Girls celebrating my sister in law 50 birthday! The owner was super nice and helpful with our ideas. We also hosted an open mic night AGAIN another great night. The bar tenders were super friendly and helpful as well. I will definitely go back.“

“Very very cool bar that’s for sure highly recommend checking it out good people who run bar that’s for sure“

“I heard about this place and finally went and let me say Wow !!! again Wow!! I enjoyed myself the customers were friendly and the drinks was great . I felt like I was at home thank you to Julie the Bartender she was very friendly and professional. I will be visiting this place again and will bring all of my friends here . you guys rock 🙂“

“Mission Accomplished: An Unforgettable Tour at Ranger Creek Brewstillery Our visit to Ranger Creek Brewstillery was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, their team welcomed us like old friends, sharing their passion for craft beer and spirits with a hospitality leaving a lasting impression and craving to return. As military veterans ourselves, we were blown away how this veteran-owned brewstillery supports service members and veterans through employment and education opportunities. It’s clear they’re not just crafting beverages—they’re brewing impact. Every single staff member was engaging, down-to-earth, and made us feel like part of the Ranger Creek family. Their enthusiasm for what they do was contagious, and their innovative approach to both beer and distilling left us beyond impressed. We only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. Ranger Creek has earned its spot as a must-visit rendezvous whenever we’re in San Antonio. If you’re looking for top-notch brews, smooth spirits, and even better company, report to Ranger Creek!“
