Great vibes, friendly staff, feels very local. Also love that the bar will make just about any drink you want. It's a small place, but they have a small patio as well! read more

This is a nice bar tucked into a quiet area. There were times where a lot of people came in, but the bartenders were excellent. We sat at the bar and customer service was great. Nice and clean and well taken care of. The drinks were great, and I would recommend trying Bar Mon Ami. read more

Bar Mon Ami - Menu!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Truly one of San Antonio's hidden Gems. Here's why: Freaking place still makes some of fhe best drinks. Vibes hasn't changed in 10 years and neither has the mood lighting which I love. Even the staff, while not the same, has maintained that same level of quality service which also kept me coming back when i lived in San Antonio. We had the You Got another Thing Comin, Nothin But A Good Time, and 2 Killed by Death. All were super Kudos to the owners and bar manager for keeping this spot as cool as ever through the years. read more

Very chill vibes. Ordered a cute cocktail and then went to sit on their cozy couch. It seems like they have a lot of regulars every one seemed to know each other. They have a good mix of the classics and some special made drinks too. read more

We've been going to Bar Mon Ami for years due to the excellent cocktails and service. This classy neighborhood bar has a quieter ambiance compared to other bars. You order at the bar as there is no table service. Carlos did a wonderful job with the Bohemian Rhapsody and Charity cocktail (part of proceeds donated to a local charity) we ordered. All of the ingredients are fresh and the flavor combinations in the drinks complemented each other. There are few bartenders (shout out to Joel) that I trust to make me any cocktail of their choice, but I have never been disappointed at Bar Mon Ami. read more

This is an easy going neighborhood bar. Stopped by after dinner nearby for some drinks and conversation. We sat at the bar and enjoyed conversation with the bar tender and fellow patron. Was a nice time talking with new people and having laughs. Bar was kept clean all throughout! This bar has a charity drink. They pick a local charity and craft a drink around it. It was nice to be charitable while drinking. Good things can happen at a bar! read more

10/10 recommend! Has such a nice ambience and very chill local vibe to it! They make the best drinks I've had in San Antonio and can make you whatever concoction you like! Love their manhattans and dirty martinis!! read more

I like the location being that it's hidden but I under the impression that it was somewhat a Speakeasy Bar until 10 pm came around it got packed. Old Fashions were ok but strong I tried both bourbon and rye and liked the the rye better. No fancy ice cube or maraschino cherry for this old fashion but at least the drink prices are decent. Tom Collins suck ass! I'll try this place on a week night being the ambiance was cool and the bartenders were two nice guys wearing their cool shades. See y'all soon again fellas. read more

It's hit the level of institution. A comfortable place with great service and well-prepared drinks. While nothing can compare to the coolness of the old days when it was behind the phone booth, it is still a great go-to place. read more

Great neighborhood bar with fantastic bartenders. Tell them what you like and they can make a special drink just for you.

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. read more

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. read more

I had a great time at this chill, hidden neighborhood spot. There's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Restrooms were clean and gender neutral. The bartender was friendly, took the time to chat with everyone, and clearly knew the locals. The evening my party visited, our bartender in particular was extremely knowledgeable about a wide variety of spirits and even crafted an excellent off-menu drink for me. While table service isn't available, it's easy enough to go to the bar to place your order. Each drink was well crafted with fresh ingredients, and tasted great. Selections were Killed By Death, a simple old fashion, followed by a paper plane and Smokin In The Boys Room. This was my first visit, and I look forward to coming back. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that many of the drinks had a bit too much lemon for my taste. Still, it was a solid experience overall! read more

Bar Mon Ami - Paper plane & Smokin In The Boys Room - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The decor is cozy but not as fancy as other speakeasy bars and the bartender doesn't wear a uniform but the drinks are creative and excellently crafted. I had a concoction that had multiple liquors and an absinthe rinse. The bartender cautioned me the she only would make one an hour for the customer. She was absolutely right! Very strong, very delicious, so strong I forgot to take a picture or write down it's name. She made another creation she wanted feedback on and I absolutely enjoyed it was made with chocolate bitters-excellent! I will be back and see if I can actually remember what I ordered! read more

Calm atmosphere never too loud, smaller space but with seating if you want to catch up with your friends. can occasionally get busy but the bartenders know how to handle themselves in a rush. Carlos is my favorite. He makes a great drink no matter how busy it may be. read more

Almost hidden behind the trees and patio is a cool, old-time bar with a few unique liquor choices. It was a quiet place to have a drink after work ... then after about 6PM it starts to be hopping with the locals. If it's a nice day they have a patio with tables. The bartenders were nice, and the drinks were made well. read more

Very chill and tucked away on Broadway. Definitely deserves a stop over for drinks. Very professional. DOGs allowed inside (air conditioned). Done! This place is a repeat. read more

Bar Mon Ami - Lots to offer! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

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. read more

Stopped here after dinner down the street. The drinks were good. But there is no menu, you just have to ask for something off top of your head. There is nothing special about it...no live music, no special decor or theme. So just like drinking at home, but more expensive. read more

I was in the neighborhood and needed to stop by and work for a little on my computer. Sat down and ordered a gin martini. The place was empty, not sure if it's to early 7:30pm, or if it's not as popular. But the service was great, the drink was well prepared and the bar tender was very knowledgeable. It isn't only a cocktail bar since they serve beer and wine too. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. Good hangout spot. read more

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. read more

Stumbled upon this bar as a result of Yelp searches and my boyfriend and I were not disappointed! Bar du Mon Ami is located in an unassuming shopping plaza and to be honest, at first we thought we had already passed it. It is quaint with a solid cocktail bar vibe. Given that we were there around 5pm on a Saturday, it wasn't too crowded; however, the bar staff and the drinks were phenomenal! I ordered a "Try Me" which is a tequila-based drink that is essentially their spin on a margarita, but with homemade Earl Grey (yes, Earl Grey!) syrup. They make all of their syrups in-house an the prices are fair for what you receive. The only thing that might have made me enjoy my experience more would have been some grade A bar popcorn, but hey we can't win em' all can we? Parking - Free parking; Ample-sized lot out front. Specials - We came on a weekend so there weren't any, but I'd be curious as to if they have any weekday specials read more

I'll keep this short. Cool neighborhood bar that's clearly patronized by frequent locals. We came in around 10 PM. The place was not crowded at all. Highlight of my night was seeing two four legged fur babies lounging on the path towards the restrooms. I'm a MAJOR dog lover so I totally got a kick out of this. Bartenders were pretty chill. They vaped a few times (not my thing) and drank once (what I actually witnessed). The hubs had his Manhattan which he enjoyed while I had my dirty martini AND a delicious vodka based bartenders surprise. We asked for the ingredients of my drink which the bartender willingly shared. We left the bar about an hour and a half later,both totally content. No frills and totally laid back is how I can best describe this place. One more thing, there's an option to sit outside. Something we would have done had there been tables available. read more

I met with some friends here and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by the bartender and an incredibly sweet dog. I ordered an old fashioned and was asked if I wanted Rye or Bourbon. I knew then this was a good choice. The service was great and I really enjoyed the ambiance. I will definitely return. read more

I thought this would be a great place, but the first time I entered the bartender was terrible. I asked for a menu and he said abruptly, "no menu, I can make anything." I can't say I'm much of a creative drinker, and had no clue what to order. My boyfriend asked him what was his favorite to make and the guy (again abruptly) said Beers. Really? At a cocktail bar you can't come up with some fan favorites for new customers? Truely have never had such a bad experience but so many reviews were great. It just may be the bartender, John or Shawn. When we asked his name he walked away and told us with his back toward us. So it's really up in the air. read more

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

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. read more

Probably my favorite bar in SA for quite ambiance and chill atmosphere. Cocktails here are top-of-class and it's a GREAT place for a business meeting.

I am thoroughly surprised at the lack of reviews for this place; HOWEVER, referring to a study on the psychology of Americans vs the rest of the world, Americans are more likely to take action when they feel they've been negatively or unfairly treated. So perhaps this is not such a bad thing, reflective of more overall positive experiences lost in the subsequent alcoholic stupor from a Moscow Mule. I've always treated this place as a "come for the drinks, stay for the company" type place. It feels like a neighborhood coffee shop. I appreciate that the noise level is such that you can carry on a conversation with someone without yelling and losing your voice. The atmosphere is cozy, and to take some labor off the mind, I can go up to the bartenders and just give some parameters like: "something with gin and not too sweet, no bitters" and I can trust it will usually be something I like. This is my default San Antonio bar. Default meeting spot for friends. Default "let's have a random celebration in San Antonio" spot. read more

Another great place to catch drinks with friends at night! My roommate and I really enjoyed all the drinks here as well as the service. The light wasn't too dim so that we had to shine a flashlight over the menu and the music wasn't too loud so we weren't shouting at each other. Honestly the place had a nice cozy, but fancy feel to it. DRINKS: I don't know how often the menu changed but I'm reviewing the drinks on the menu that night. Seems like the cocktail menu had most type of liqueurs to satisfy anyone Ordered the JASMINE JEWEL ($): Gin, jasmine liqueur, lemon, and tonic - really perfect for another who enjoys the taste of jasmine and gin. I'm not even a huge fan of gin and I really loved this drink. Then I got the FRENCH 75 since you get a discount off CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS if you check in and it was also good. All in all really solid bar and we will be visiting again! read more
