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

I've been here a couple of times and have always had a great time. The server/waitress was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable on what they offered. 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!

There was a DJ playing a great variety of music. There's plenty of seating at tables & around a large bar. There's even upstairs seating. This is an all around great place but what makes this bar 5 stars isn't the drinks or the atmosphere, the bartenders make this place 5 stars!!! Our bartender was Jess (Jessica) & she was a firecracker! (In the best way!) She was friendly, had the best personality & made us laugh so hard! One might say she was "charismatic"! A lot of bartenders ask you what you want, make your drink, take your credit card, hand you your bill & walk away. I call this lazy service! Not here! Jess is the kind of bartender that you want to be friends with! She KNOWS how to mix a great drink & she actually gives you service w a smile... while making you laugh! If you can walk away from her not loving your drink & not wanting to go back to her for your next drink & some laughs.... Trust me, It's YOU... not her. Ally was working the bar also. This duo made the perfect bartending team on a Friday night. Ally was awesome! You can't go wrong at this bar on a Friday night as long as these ladies are mixing up your drinks!

We went back last Saturday and Lily was the sweetest bartender ever. She made us a Cosmo (strong as hell...like we like it). It's not a bar where you'll run into lots of people, it's a dive bar. Get to know your bartender and you'll find that they'll be very attentive. We're all people and deserve to be respected. Drinks are not expensive AT ALL unless you're cheap. That's it-Sorry. I can't remember any other bar where I spend less than $100 on two people and end up trashed. I love The Fizz Bar & Lounge

Staff is always 10-stars. Legitimately, if you told me each staff member had ownership in the Oasis, I'd believe you. They're not welcoming, fun, consistent with the drinks and add to the experience. Once the weekend approaches I anticipate getting an old fashioned here. The first time I ordered one my expectations were mid, because why would a beach themed lounge have anything except Mai Tai's, hurricane, blue hawaiians, etc? Well, old fashions, margaritas and palomas are all hits. You can also bring your own food in, which might seem like an inconvenience but I think not having a kitchen helps with pricing. Always look forward to coming back to Oasis Lounge!! 1-star off: (2) single occupancy bathrooms for men and women. Once that seal is broken, this becomes an issue quickly. Also would like draft beer options.

It was my first time visiting Cootey's Tavern last night for Challenge trivia. We arrived early and…read morethe place was not busy and very unassuming. The bartenders/waitstaff were likely the most attentive I have experienced in San Antonio. The food (picadillo tacos and wings) was excellent and cooked to perfection. The bar was nearly at capacity for trivia and the host, Ross, was fantastic. I greatly enjoyed the lighting and ambience in the bar after the sun went down and appreciated all the vintage touches (i.e., tin roof over the main bar, old classic doors). Lastly, and very importantly, the men's room was immaculate. I will absolutely return to frequent this establishment. Update to review for the owner: Please have reliable set-up for trivia projection. A small request, but still five stars for this establishment. The hot Cootey's style wings are amongst the best wings I have ever tried.

This was on a Wednesday and it was all walks of life and all types of music from classic to new. I walked in to an older gent who was killing it to some Al Green, "Let's Stay Together" and it was smooth as butter just like the vibes here. The night only got better from there. I tried it during the later afternoon and the vibe was even more chill. There were some regulars and we chit chatted about where we were all from and funny Cooteys stories. I played some music from my seat on TouchTunes and overall had a very relaxing time. Others were playing great jams too and wow I can't remember the last time I heard Beach Boys. But I'm here for it. Just a heads up.. This is one of those spots that charges a $20 holding credit card fee. But atleast they gave me a heads up instead of throwing it on me last minute and giving me the choice of cash.
