    $15 nachos apparently

    This place is a local staple, no doubting that. However every time I come here I have an issue with lack of service, long wait times, and sub par food. Staff is honestly great, never had an issue. Decided to stop in and paid $15 for nachos and literally got 8 chips? Not exactly what you envision when you think of nachos especially when they cost that much.

    We met some friends for late lunch it is a typical bar sandwich burger place and over all it was great fast friendly service the food was quick to table and tasted great I had the nachos and they were good But the are individually built on a chip like 8 chips so portions are small . The sandwiches were good I would definitely go back but be aware they have their own way on some things

Whether you're there for games, tournaments, or training sessions, the environment feels well-run and family-friendly. The layout makes it easy to navigate, and there's plenty of space for both players and spectators, which makes events much more comfortable compared to many other local venues. The courts/fields are well-maintained and the facility gives off a professional feel without being intimidating. Staff is generally helpful and keeps things running on schedule, which is especially important during busy tournament weekends. Parking and access are also relatively smooth, even when multiple events are happening at once. Overall, it's a solid venue that balances competitive sports energy with a clean, well-managed environment. Great spot for both athletes and families spending the day watching games.

Prices are all within a reasonable price. Price point is around $12-$20 dependent on choice of entrée. Beers are well priced as will, with certain days having specials at $4 pints. Usually, most bars are either too fancy or just ok. This place matches the perfect menu choices for the environment while not sacrificing quality and it shows the unknown chef/ cook working in the back is passionate and loves what he/she does by producing the dishes that come out of that kitchen. *Atmosphere of establishment is impeccable. The staff is always on top of cleaning, sanitizing areas when patrons leave. In the military, I knew when things were clean when I could smell bleach. Buckets of bleach water with clean rags are used to wipe down the bar tops. *Additional staff, constantly wipe down, remove rubber mats on the bar top, and sanitize multiple times while in our presence, demonstrating the utmost meticulous discipline on clean areas. Men's restrooms are known to smell at bars, however, at this location the restrooms are constantly checked on by staff and cleaned if needed. I have never gone to the restroom and not been able to wash hands due to no soap or dry hands, due to no paper towels. Bartenders (Traci and Kyla) and waitresses are friendly and respectful. The manager, Buddy is very friendly to my wife and I and now at this point, when he sees us walk in, he will ask if there is anything we want to see that isn't on the multiple TVs. If there is a San Antonio Spurs game, he will make it a point to put on the game, so we are able to enjoy my team. *This bar accommodates me in the manner I love having a draft beer dressed with chamoy and Tajin. The staff already just by seeing my wife and I knows our drink, and makes it a point to fulfill our expectation.

Piper (waitress) provided great service despite having no visible management support. The wine I ordered was on the menu but unavailable, (the wait time was unbelievable) and I also found the staff's attire to be more revealing than expected, but...to each their own. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I can't recommend this establishment. I have yet to hear from the owner. Regardless of the dirty, lack of support, & non-response from the owner of the establishment, I still gave our waitress (Piper) a great tip! She deserved it and tried to make our experience better.

Leather couches, low lights, friendly bar tenders serving a unique drink menu alongside classics too. You can reserve a table or couch, which would be perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The Grand Opening: delicious appetizers, talented DJ to set the mood, and offered "dog tags" making us future VIP guests with automatic discounts. Nice! The drink menu was definitely one of the more unique ones I've ever seen but if creative cocktails aren't your thing, don't let the menu scare you, order your favorite classics.

When the female host walked past our table while seating another group, I stopped her and told her that we had been waiting for a server. She wasn't very friendly or helpful about it. Even after I brought it to her attention, we continued waiting while servers were helping other tables that had arrived after us. It was frustrating to see people who came in later being served while we were still being ignored. The poor service, combined with the host's dismissive attitude, made the whole experience very disappointing.

Joey, our server, worked till 2am and had to come in at 11am to work during out football game. He was the only server and he didn't seem pleased to be there. I wouldn't have been happy about it either. Service was real slow. Time marched on and on until my wife finally went back for a refill on her ice tea. Our food order arrived and the plates & trash sat on the table for hours until the game was over and we went home. Late in the 4th quarter, I asked for our check. Joey brought it and stood there, waiting for my credit card. There was a problem with our charges. A couple of well drinks were added, and subsequently removed, but there was a charge for a glass of chardonnay on the ticket that we didn't order. (I didn't see an empty wine glass on our debris covered table) Joey reluctantly went back and returned with a credit card receipt (no itemized ticket) with a total charge nearly as high as the first one. I went back to the bar and Joey told me it was because we had THREE ice teas. Oh, you took off the chardonnay and ADDED TWO MORE iced teas because my wife had hers refilled?? The bartender said some places charge for refills and he would take them off. It was a mistake. Yeah, sure. He printed out another credit card receipt but I had to ask for the itemized ticket. I still left 20% gratuity although I would have felt better about it if we had gotten service without the attitude. Where was the manager today. Is it normal to have a bartender and 1 server running the place?

Plenty of free parking, but it fills-up, as the Silver Fox bar is neighbor. A glass of Smithwick's draught beer, and a snack from the excellent menu brought me here, as well as the joyous & vibrant crowd. A live Irish band was setting up on the stage, but I had other things scheduled for my Saturday night. For now, college football was on the bigscreen above me, staff was busy with all seats along the bar taken, and I looked thru the amazing food menu of Irish & UK style dishes, with some San Patricio dishes from Mexico! The San Patricio Brigade of the Army of Mexico in 1846 were Irish conscripts that deserted the US Army invasion into Mexico due to Protestant American officers not allowing the Irish troops to attend Mass in the Mexican cathedrals. Then, most of the Irish "deserted", to defend Mexico from this invasion dreamed-up by U.S. President Polk to create more new States for Dixie to expand (Polk was a slave holder). The Irish ran the line of cannons for Mexico to win one battle, but Mexico was running low on bullets & supplies by now, and doomed for a loss. (If the Irish had just waited 2 more weeks, it would have been over with). Alas, the US Army quickly executed 30 of the Irish San Patricios in a mass hanging, while a group were hot-branded a letter "D" on their faces for "Deserter". (If seen again in USA, anyone could hang them) However, an untold amount escaped into the hills of Mexico, and married into the families. The Saint Patrick's Brigrade has a monument in Mexico. And USA gained the territory that Polk wanted, while a junior Congressman named Lincoln shook his head, yet had plans of his own. Meanwhile, Mexico would have another revolution in 1910, and a young Irish Mexican boy would enter USA with his family to end up in Los Angeles where young Anthony Quinn became a promising young architect, married a 35-year old woman who arranged acting lessons for him, giving the movie industry a macho man star. Come over to Gillespie's for more stories & cold pints! And good food, and live music!
