    My favorite alter
    Dominique H.

    I had such a good girls night here. The weather was nice and the music was bumping here. My friend and I chose this place since they were having a special that night where girls got in free before 11 PM. I haven't been here in a long time. There were a couple of changes like they now have a cool new bar outside. My friend and I started inside with some pineapple Eastsiders inside with one of their signature chamoy shots. After the shots, we were in the mood to dance especially since they had a good DJ who had some good transitions. This place had good music and when it got too hot outside we sat outside to cool down. I had an amazing night. Will definitely be coming back next weekend.

    They're drink menu offering and many of them are under $6!!

    Pickle PICKLE PICKLE!! Now that you've read it three times you are now going to forever affiliate Hi-Tones with some of the best Pickle Shots a bar has to offer. They're just so addicting and for $2 a piece how can they not be! For those of ya who have crave something on the tangy spicy side don't worry they have you covered as well with their infamous Chamoy Shots. This is one of my favorite places to be with my friends with as the atmosphere is just so laid back and the music (including live bands frequently) is just too hard to pass up on. The bartending staff is very friendly and always willing to give you drink ideas. They take pride to being "Home of the Original Pickle and Chamoy Shots" Don't worry about Hi-Tones burning a hole in your wallet as most of their drinks are under $6 It's a smaller establishment but the patio outside is plenty big. So come for the drinks and stay for the music. You'll be glad you came to check this place out.

    Love this place!! One of my favorite small venues and bars in SATX. There's cool art all over the walls and there's a really cute patio area and bar. The vibes in there are really good. They have great drink specials. And the bartender, Joe, is super cool! They are known for their Pickle shot and Chamoy shot which are both really tasty. I like pickle juice..so I'm happy getting drunk off of it. Haha. I definitely recommend coming here for a show or just to stop in for some drinks while in San Antonio!

    Great place to go and unwind, i went for selena night. I would recommend everyone to atleast try changos shots, picle shots as these are speciality of this club and price is also decent for these shots (only $2). I went there with my college mate. Good spot to find locals

    My group of friends were looking for something new on NYE and we certainly found it driving by the old Gigabytes and Java location. The newly painted teal Hi-tones was blaring some awesome dance tunes and cool video to match its intensity on the side of its building. No cover, awesome crowd, great selection of drink specials and beverages, swift bartenders (although there should have been 4 of them back there, only saw 2) and decently clean RR facilities! Now, one toilet on a big night like NYE was basically an epic fail, but on a regular night... is still probably set to fail. My opinion is bars should have at least two toilets per gender just to keep a steady flow of... you know! More drinking! Its gotta go some where! I had fun talking to everyone while waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Now there were a bunch of heavily intoxicated people no doubt, including partying employees, I feel their judgment on other patrons might have been a little harsh. One guy got rammed on the ground wrestling with a friend wasn't bothered by any staff, while another girl got accosted for being tipsy was asked to leave. Why a cab wasn't called for both of these people baffles me. It must be hard running a bar on such a big night. Regardless we enjoyed ourselves, with pint sized well drinks at $2.50, met many great couples, we definitely anticipate a low key trip soon. The sound system was the tits!!

    Cool place

    Cool hidden gem in SA TX / Tobin Hill area. This location is a bit hard to find, and they open at 9 pm. The bar inside is super chill. The night we went, the bar inside played cool old school rap the entire time. Service: Service with a smile. The bar tenders were friendly and helpful. Drinks: Drinks are super cheap and interesting. I ordered a Raspa drink - pineapple flavor. Delish! The place was not too crowded and had a very chill vibe.

    For those wondering what a pickle shot is, it's just pickle juice with vodka mixed together.

Gotta say, I think it will. You walk in through the patio which is a completely different (relaxing) vibe than the bar itself. The music is noticeably different, but nice if you're trying to have an intimate conversation. Walking in, the place is decorated nicely. I'm not sure what the theme is but by the signs exclaiming "t*Ts are awesome" and "girls girls girls" I'm assuming the name is not because Cash Rules Everything Around Me. The bartender was nice and friendly. They have specialty drinks, drink + shot combos, and packaged beers. The drink prices were more than reasonable. Dive bar prices with a very nice ambience. The music was great and spanned decades and genres. I found myself dancing in my seat and enjoying my time. It wasn't very crowded but after scouring their social media they've been open for about a month. I'm anxious to see their late night food menu. I've already made plans with friends to come back and check it out. Five stars for potential. I enjoyed my time there and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. TL;DR: cheap drinks, fun vibe, spacious and well decorated, classy with affordable drinks that won't break the bank. Fingers crossed on the kitchen, not yet open

    Great place to kick it! Great environment and bartenders/staff are great too. Check it outread more

The drinks were good (not the greatest) but I loved the syringe shots. Those were fun. It was fun trying to walk around the whole place when it was packed. Very difficult but entertaining.

The lights and smoke definitely made the atmosphere! This place is a vibe! All the hits, smooth transitions, and giant strong, cheap drinks! You do you have to pay to enter I think $10 or so and they do check your bags and pat men down. We got two $12 beer mugs of Long Islands and we only should've gotten one! Honestly, by the time we had to leave because our parking was expire, we were smacked but didn't want to go because the music just kept getting better and better. It was about 2ish am and the music was still going. I will say the parking is really bad around here and if you don't pay they will tow. I seen many tows that night. This area is rowdy and a little rough but that's exactly how I like things. There was plenty of police on the street , If that makes you feel safe it doesn't for me, but I didn't feel in danger at all. Some interesting characters inside the club I'll say but nothing I never seen before. Overall fun night and would definitely recommend.

    Well, considering all the other awful reviews about this place I'm not even slightly surprised by…read morethe way the employees there treated me and my friends. My friends and I were having a good time and drinking, spending a lot of money toward this business. When all of a sudden my friend was accused of grabbing some girls butt while in the restroom. It's funny because he didn't and then they for some reason changed the story to say that the girls butt he grabbed was our other friend. That makes a lot of sense. Before this scuffle, there was also some guy that kept coming up to us and saying "fuck you," laughing and then walking away. He did this multiple times. Obviously was intoxicated and friends with the bartenders. Back to the butt grab situation, my guess is they were kicking us out to make room for other people. Maybe they had friends they wanted in or other regulars. Either way, I will never be going back to this place. If you see this review and all the others, stay far far away from this bar.

I asked if I could finish taking a picture then I'll get off and he said "no I'm the owner" If you're the owner you shouldn't be so damn rude. It also didn't get busy at all. The music also sucks.
