Chef Marcel of @eatwityoeyez reached out last week to invite us to visit. We visited at their @bentleysonbroadway location. Bentley's Bar has a covered outdoor area with picnic tables, heaters, bar, and swings! On Wednesdays, it's happy hour all night with $5 Crown, $7 Patron, and $3 well drinks. Dad had pineapple juice, hubby had the $3 Coors Light, and I had the well drink and Crown with peach and apple. Josh was serving at the bar and took good care of us. @eatwityoeyez opened at 7pm and we ordered our food to give them a try. They also have a resident cat, Bentley, a mixed Siamese cat! So friendly and cuddly! read more

Good wings at the food truck on the side called The Dojo!. Good price ($1 on Wednesday). Didn't know it was going to be at a bar until I arrived. Had to walk in to see the food truck. Just fyi Great flavor, quick, hot and fresh. I ordered 12 wings and fries. Took less than 15 mins. Service was great, cool guy. Only thing is I wished they allowed you to choose if you want all flats or drums. I'm an all flat kinda guy, but they said couldn't be split up like that. I would've paid an extra fee for it. Oh well read more

Upon looking for some black nightlife in San Antonio we found Bentleys. We are definitely excited that we did. The vibe was amazing. The drinks were good. The live music was absolutely phenomenal and was by far one of the best moments of my trip if ever in Texas again, I will definitely be going back to bed read more

The crawfish was good but I catch COVID every time I go there .. I heard Bentleys is not shut down, not sure how true that is

F. This. Place. Avoid at all costs. Third time is NOT the charm. This place has no charm. The clientele is judgmental as well as the staff. You're in San Antonio. At Bentley's. No reason to be pretentious. No reason to be a complete bish. I guess they don't like when 2 dudes are grinding on each other OH but it's ok when 2 chicks or a chick and a dude do it. GTFOH. I'll dance around the ashes of this place if it were to burn to the ground. And I'm out. read more

Ok this might be a short review. I really like this spot. But I will be honest and say it might not be for everyone. Now what I have noticed and I love, EVERYONE is welcomed. Not only welcomed but treated kindly and friendly. I have been about 4 times and it's always been that way. You have music that is hip hop and R&B. So if that's not your cup of tea then this isn't the place for you. But this reminds me so much of places at home (Cali). Really chill spot where people play cards and dominoes. Laugh, dance and have a few drinks. This is a place that i will be back many many more times. I mean this place had great energy and a wonderful vibe. Like that they had the games on the big screen. Oh what I think is kind of funny but cool is that at the bar outside the seats are swings. Yes that's right swings. That is awesome. So if you like hip hop and R&B with a nice vibe. And you grown and sexy...this is the place for you. I might see you there if so says what's up. read more

Bentley's Bar - Double Apple Crown and cranberry - Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Not sure what this place is supposed to be a bar? Lounge? Restaurant? Hookah? Who knows. I thought we were going to a bar last Sat night but when we arrived the line was down the street as if it's a club? When we got to the front of the line they had armed security which I haven't seen in quite a while. Usually if a place has armed security at the door it's not a chill spot. They had a dress code which we didn't know about and again usually a chill spot wouldn't have a dress code so idk what this place really is but we ended up leaving because we didn't meet the dress code and going to the bar next door. We couldn't be more happy with that decision because at the end of the night we saw a lot of police at this place apparently people were fighting. Not the kind of place I'd like to go to so glad we couldn't get in. read more

Great wings at the food truck on the side called The Dojo!. You have to walk in to see the food truck. Great flavor options, Quick, hot, and honestly some of the best wings I've ever had. Five Stars isn't enough for the truck! Deserves your business and a nice tip!! read more

Ended up here on a whim but we had a blast. The DJ was great. We were able to get a hookah as well which was great since it wasn't that many available. The bartenders were on it. Trust when I go back to San Antonio I will go back. read more

Nice bar for a HH. I hear Thur and Sunday are nice. They only serve food on select events. I went for the crawfish and shrimp platters for $15. I'm new here so brought my 5 yo daughter . Not a place for kiddies, but now I know. It was fine enough to eat and leave. Spicy crawfish, but good. Music was nice. If you like hip hop love the swing chairs at the bar. I'll be back for HH, drinks, and music. read more

Bentley's Bar - Crawfish shrimp corn potato $15 - Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Ambiance was great. Different areas and music. Drinks were good and food im guessing was good.. no vegan options

Advertised as a crawfish all you can eat, however that does NOT exist. The staff will give you an eye roll if you ask for multiple different football games on at once. I don't know but if I wanted to watch the same game on tvs that are immediately next to each other I wouldn't go to a bar, I'd just watch it at home. The swings are interesting but not enough seats at the bar that are not swings. read more

Went for poetry night last night. Might've stayed about 20 minutes. One of your bartenders is a pathological liar. I'm sure you already know, but creating lies about customers for the sake of attention is pretty sad. I hope yall hire better staff. I won't be back. read more

This is a pretty dirty looking bar. The Crawfish boils they put on are ridiculous. There were about 80 people here last Sunday for the $15 AYCE deal. Each time you get in line there are no less than 30 people in line. This went on for 3 hrs from the open at 2. By the way they were 45 mins late from the advertised start serving time. Anyway, they give you one little french fry tray at a time (about 1/2 a lb of actual crawfish). The average grown Louisianan or hungry Texan can eat 5 lbs. That would be 10 trips at this rate. After 4 trips, I gave up. I actually ate about 2 lbs for the $15. No difference than going to one of the local restaurants. I heard the day before for the Saturday boil, one man ate 23 trays. I was also mad at the size of the Crawfish they were known as field runs, the tiniest ones with absolute zero tail meat. Besides my very first tray which was hot and delicious all the rest or cold to lukewarm. I won't be back to this place. This place just seems like an overhyped sloppily run Place with music and DJs. The restrooms were filthy. read more

This is a Crawfish Boil only review. We visited for All You Can Eat Crawfish on Sunday. We got there just before 1:30 PM and it's supposed to start at 2 PM, but it didn't get rolling until after 2:30 PM. It's $15/person (you pick up your wristband at the bar). It's supposed to include sausage, mini corn cobs, and potatoes. The sausage was in 1" pieces and the potatoes were sliced (not the little whole red potatoes you might expect). There were also bits of pineapple in it, for some reason. It can catch you off guard if you think it's an onion and you're not expecting something sweet. It was really dark inside the bar, so it was hard to tell at first, but there weren't actually any onions, so we figured it out pretty quickly. There isn't any shaded seating outside, which is why we ate inside. The owner indicated that he would be installing a shade awning, so there will be improvement there shortly. The crawfish was very spicy, which we liked. Every portion I got came out hot, so no issues there. Each person with a wristband has to stand in line. They'll only give you 1 little tray at a time, which you can eat in about a minute, so it was a little annoying to hardly get any crawfish and then have to go stand in line again for 10 minutes to get another little dish of it. They need to get the bigger trays and hand it out in at least 1-2# portions plus the sides. After our second tray each, they were already out of sausage and they hadn't been serving for very long. I didn't get any potatoes in trays 5-6, but I'm not sure if that's because they were out or I was just unlucky. After our 2nd ear of corn each, we were saying "no corn," so I'm not sure how long those lasted. We stood in line for what felt like forever on our last trip - they had stopped serving at one point (presumably to take a break). I left my fiance at the front of the line and I went back to the table. I got 2 new cups of water, and I peeled the heads off a tray of crawfish. They weren't providing anything to put your trash in, so it was just piled up in the middle of the tiny table. I had to find a trash can to toss all the trash, then went to the restroom. While I was in there for a whole 2 minutes, someone decided to bus the table - trashing the 2 new cups of water, the tray of crawfish tails, and a tray of corn and potatoes. Who tf does that?? Super frustrating. After that BS and standing in lines longer than eating crawfish, we decided to leave. We'd been there for 3 hours (half of that was waiting for the thing to start though). We only ended up eating 12 trays total, which was probably 5-6# of crawfish. I got 2 little ears of corn, and the equivalent of about 1 large potato, and maybe 0.25# of sausage. We felt like we at least got what we paid for, but we probably won't go back there. There are places that are better organized for the crowd and they don't run out of sides in the first half hour. Note: you can also get chicken-on-a-stick for $6, but it's just frozen, breaded chicken fingers that they skewer and cook.They have remoulade for dipping (tastes ok) and Slap Ya Mama seasoning to dump on everything. The Revolver draught beer we were picking was $5 each, but it wasn't as cold as it should have been. We still got 3 of those though! read more

Easily the most ghetto place I've ever been to in San Antonio. We went for a friend's birthday party and a fight broke out outside as we were leaving. Apparently, it was just because someone looked at them wrong. A lot of very drunk and shady people. Will never be going back. read more

Strong drinks, good music, and Great service! Not sure what else to ask for in bar... It is a fun venue every time I've been in the past. They have an indoor and outdoor bar area. You'll know if this is your kind of bar upon walking up to it from the parking lot. If it's not, then it's not; but if it is, then go on in! Originally I was just looking for something different, somewhere with a fun vibe and I found it here! Lookin' forward to coming here during Crawfish Season! read more

Staff is very rude, any other bar is guaranteed to be better service than here. They really hire anyone.

After standing in line for 10min the bouncer came and told me that I needed to stand in another line very AGGRESSIVELY , I told him the bartender already took my order and I'm good he then proceeded to yell at me and tell me to move, the bartender J told him I was good and he went on some power trip. The owner Jesse then came and told me that I needed to leave. Place is straight TRASH.... read more

Enjoyed this bar. Has an inside with tables, chairs, and couches. The outside has porch swing chairs surrounding the bar. Mariachis on Friday were great! read more

I attended this event due to flyer inviting coaches. The atmosphere and music was great. Until a friend, an athletic coordinator couldn't get it due to wearing high school athletic gear. Which would be fine but they sent out flyer inviting coaches. A no offense but coordinators hang out with other high ranking colleagues. So some people missed a networking opportunity. Cause now you have an athletic coordinator who couldn't get in and he not telling his coaches about the establishment and you have two slightly pissed head coaches. Next time be more detail in the flyer or know the clients your targeting. read more

My first time coming here and I have to say it was fantastic! I almost felt like I was home eating crawfish!! Everyone was super friendly and the music was awesome! Not to mention the drinks. I'll be back for sure. Even though we came a little on the late side we were greeted and encouraged to partake in the crawfish boil! It was money well spent. I'm ready for the next once! read more

This place is ghetto. They don't always search at the door which is why they have shootings. Security sells weed inside. and they let staff kick people out because they used to date them. Bartenders underserve and are rude. Prices don't match up. I buy one drink and then go back order same drink and it's a different price.....staff does drugs im the bathroom especially the female bartenders. The bar owner Jesse is aware and seems to be no change. Business from me will never be received again read more

Nice atmosphere to have a couple of drinks listen to some music and have some great food from the local food truck

This was my first time here. I had fun! The Mariachi was great and I appreciated the chips and salsa. We meet the owner and talked to him for a while. He was very nice. Next time we go we're gonna sit in the swings! The atmosphere it's chill and the happy hour specials were pretty good. read more

Sketchy security staff and rough crowd. Did not feel safe here with my group. Will not be coming back.

Beer & Crawfish! I've never really heard of a crawfish bar, but this place has it going on! With a name like Bentley's, it's not as fancy and pretentious as you'd think it'd be. A name like Bentley's made me picture a place covered in marble serving Grey Poupon and caviar. This place is quite the opposite. It's a dark bar with loud music inside. Sometimes, they bring in a band to play on a little stage that they have set up. They have a bunch of craft beers, many of which are somewhat hard to find. I don't think they have a single beer on draft- only bottles and cans. The best feature of this bar is that they are usually serving up crawfish outside on the patio. They've taken over part of the parking lot, and are building permanent shade structures with picnic tables and a crawfish cooker and a large BBQ grill. They serve up all you can eat crawfish on the weekends. I know I can eat a ton of crawfish, especially ones like the ones they serve here- they're small, but spicy. To be honest, I've never signed up for the crawfish deal, but I do enjoy coming here to watch people stuff their faces with them, and then stand in line for some more. Everything on the outdoor patio is slightly sticky and smells like old crustaceans and hot sauce. The place could use an occasional good hosing down after all that crawfish juice. It's a nice bar, especially on the outside. It's a great place to kick back outdoors with plenty of seating, and good beers. read more

The customer service here was very slow! The bartender actually demanded a tip! And argued with me the entire time about showing "love"

Great atmosphere, killer staff, and the best crawfish you can get on. Had a blast and can't wait to make it back down! read more

Nice up and coming bar on Broadway. They are fairly new to the strip and still working on improvements to their facility. They have an indoor stage where they have live music throughout the week. Reasonable drink specials and events such as the crawfish broil on Thursdays and Sundays, and Ribeye on Wednesday's. All in all this is a pretty small local bar that has plenty of potential. Main reason I come here is because of their customer service. Jessie always welcomes his guest with open arms. read more

I was able to visit this place this past summer, and I was pleasantly surprised it was my first time here I was visiting a friend and we decided to meet at this bar. The atmosphere was pretty great even though parking needs to have some attention due to the limited parking And the time it takes to find a parking spot and walk up to the establishment but aside from that the overall presentation, when approaching, this venue was great, the music, the atmosphere, the Options to hang out in the patio and enjoy the music as well as inside where you can order drinks from the bar. the day that I was there there was some kind of R&B event going on. the drinks were amazing, the bartender was attentive the drinks were affordable, and the drinks were strong, which is how I like my drinks. I also had the opportunity to order hookah as well and the service on that was great. It came out fairly quickly had no issues, and I proceeded to enjoy my night. If I'm ever in the San Antonio area again I will be sure to stop by again read more

Cheap drinks and food. There burgers are surprisingly very good. Bartenders are always friendly. So if you are in a budget but need some drinks and food this is the spot read more

This place is great! A group of friends and I came out to take part in their bottomless crawfish broil that they host on Sundays. I believe that they also host a bottomless shrimp and crawfish on Thursdays for fifteen bucks. Can't beat that! It has so much flavor and there is spicey sausage, potatoes, and corn. One of the great host, Jesse was super kind and made sure that we had everything we needed to have a good time! If we come back it would be because of him! When you first walk in the bar first thing you notice that is very dark, masculine, and causal inside. It seems like a nice place just to meet up and have drinks on a late afternoon. You have to purchase you fifteen dollar wrist band from the bar and I have to say, the bartender was not the greatest. The bar wasn't busy at all but yet she seemed to rush us away from the bar. I will admit, she seemed to be the only one tending to the bar but still she was yelling at us...when it wasn't loud, snatching our payments away, slamming our receipts on the counter just..not welcoming. But everything went up from there. Beware! Not much seating so come a tad bit early to grab some. Again, thank you Jesse for making my friends and I feel nothing but welcomed! Hope to see you guys next week. read more

I left my card at this bar. The following morning the manager made a few phone calls for me to try and locate it. I'd say he was very helpful by reaching back out to me once they found it! I really appreciate your efforts and hospitality. I'll be back again some day, thank you! read more

Being somewhat of a regular at this establishment, I thought I'd add my 2 cents to the review section. First, is this place perfect? No. But are they working hard to make it a fun venue to visit? You better your ass they are. Secondly, do they make the most awesome craft cocktails in town? No, but they are great at what they do. Open beers, pour shots, make sure you're having fun and leave with a smile. If you want fancy drinks, get thine ass downtown!! Lastly, the bartenders. Ashley, Sarah, and Victoria are some of the nicest people working this side of Broadway. Having said that, if you're an 1st class A-Hole, they won't hesitate to call you out! It's like Dalton said in the movie Roadhouse, "Be nice.. Until it's time not to be nice". Cheers! PS. You have to try the Celis Raspberry!! read more
