“They don't serve food but there a fried chicken truck which I think is overly priced. Atmosphere is great and so are the drinks. Nice to hang outside with a fire pit and listen to the bands. There's a pizzeria next door which smells like my Jersey pizza. I'm pretty sure you can bring that in to eat“

“The Bartender Patti is not only gorgeous and friendly shz hands down one of the greats here in SaTown🥰 she brings in the greatest local entertainment she makes the Best drinks and shots Hands Down🔥 They have pool, darts vegas games, sports and eats I think and a small outdoor patio area. But the dance area is muey small and the usual weekday crowd really not my vibe but picks up with rockin local bands on weekends so I DO recommend for weekends!😎🤘🍻🍷🍸🥂“

“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!

“I love this bar! Reed and May are the best bartenders! Friendly, professional and great memories! They always remember our(wife and I)cranberry and vodka and never fail to mention if anything is on special. I really enjoy the outside patio. Plenty of seating, fans and TV's. Restroom is always clean and I dig the live bands on Saturday.“

“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! ♥️“

“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 🤣“

I recently added this place as it was missing on Google maps. Alot of fond memories to those who has came and unfortunately has pass on. Will you leave a mark of history at this bar? Who knows?“

“had a good time there it was fun a lot of people friendly people I definitely go back again hope they have more car shows for bike show because I got both 🤘😎“

“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.“

“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!“
