    Best value of drinks with the hottest people to people watch for. Also, the staff are be friendly and approachable. Austin was kind, serious about business but very good at his job. As a regular he's a new face but definitely deserves a raise for his hard work. He's great at crowd control and sternly keeps the area free and clear.

    Nice place to have fun. Security is on point and the drinks are a 10! Recommend for a good night out!!!!

    A bad security guard

    Showed up and security had "top flight security of the world Craig " Imagine having a whole party bus pull up, ready to spend money and have a good time... and the security ruins it before we even get inside. The attitude? Nasty. The customer service? Nonexistent. Congrats to the rude security for turning away a whole crowd of paying customers -- hope the power trip was worth it. I'll take my hard-earned money somewhere that actually wants business.

    Here's the deal- when you come to Brass, you come prepared to DANCE. This ain't the chill and hangout backyard bar, it's definitely some place you head to for the dj. Brass always has a theme night going on, so be sure to stay active on their socials to see what is coming up. They are quite strict on security, but it definitely prevents fights/other unwanted behavior so you always feel safe. Christian, the current manager is super friendly but also not shy to making sure things are running in tip top shape. A solid place to hangout downtown and get a cheap drink, with some great music!

    You get patted down before entry that's kind of weird but I guess it's good to know there are safety precautions taken.

Super casual, no pretentiousness just serious flavor. Let's talk wings... because yeah, this is where your wing obsession levels up. These aren't your typical pieces the drum and wing come together, and they're loaded. Pro tip: cap it at 3 pairs unless you're ready for a full-on food coma. Price might feel mid-to-high, but one bite and you'll forget you even cared. Deviled eggs? Just order them. One or two... and you'll get it. And the J.A.C.

    Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

They were happy to answer my questions and I was never made to feel rushed. The bar itself has an awesome vibe. It's divey but offer fancy drinks. The bar has a stage (we've seen FEA perform there) and they have ample seating (tables, couches, stools, etc). I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!
