I believe the owners name is Don and he was very upbeat and knowledgeable about the different whiskeys that we tasted. We learned about the regions and the processes of each bottle. There were maybe 20-30 people at the tasting which made it more intimate and personal. I'll definitely be back to try more.

LOVEEE I went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't crowded…read more There wasn't a host to seat me but, after walking inside, the staff was able to assist kindly. I ordered the ceviche & Dancing in the rain for my drink, & the sweet waitress provided me with chips as well. Both of which were fantastic but OMG the ceviche was top tier, the coconut milk set it off the edger for me. The vibes were immaculate as well! Good music & views. Will definitely be back

The Green Lantern was a pretty good experience overall, though it wasn't exactly my scene…read more The place has a more preppy vibe than I typically go for, and the drinks were definitely on the pricier side. That said, the venue was busy, energetic, and clearly popular with the crowd that was there. The highlight of the night was the live band. They were fantastic and brought a lot of energy to the room. The music really elevated the experience and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the evening. It did get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, this probably isn't it. But if you're looking for live music, a lively crowd, and a night out with friends, you'll likely have a good time. Not necessarily my favorite hangout spot, but still a solid experience.

Pastiche is a place that I've always really enjoyed but I recently went and had a very bad…read moreexperience. The menu seemed to have changed the last time I went & lowered in quality significantly. I'm not sure if it was new management or a temporary condition but I would say that the drinks were nearly inedible. For example the old fashioned riff I had was bourbon, angostura bitters, and anise. It seemed to be missing a sugar component like a simple syrup. It was also smoked but the smoke was very synthetic in flavor. Additionally some of the other cocktails ordered by the group were just of a much lower quality at Pastiche. A lot of the drinks were artificially sweet & had chamoy & tajin rims. I think these drinks are good for certain places in San Antonio but I've come to expect much better from Pastiche. I'm so very bummed by this new development in what is usually a very great experience & atmosphere with some amazing cocktails. I hope this isn't the beginning of a "new pastiche"!

(There are heaters when it gets cold.) After the Spurs game it was busier than usual but we still got a table and the service was just as attentive and quick.

Pink Shark has been on my radar since it opened a couple years ago, and I'll admit I came in with…read moresome hesitation. I'm always drawn to cocktail bars with a strong theme, and places like this usually live or die by how well they commit to the experience. Right away, the space is visually striking. The pink-forward aesthetic isn't totally my lane, but I can appreciate how fresh and easy on the eyes it feels. That said, it leans more high-energy lounge than intimate cocktail bar. For me, it's missing a bit of that dim, red-lit, date-night allure that makes a true cocktail spot feel seductive and immersive. At times, it feels closer to a club atmosphere than a tucked-away lounge. What really pulled me in, though, was the speakeasy concept and this is where Pink Shark starts to shine. The hidden entrance in the back delivers exactly the kind of exclusivity I was hoping for. Inside, the vibe shifts: loungy, modern, and just the right amount of sexy. The minimalist design works, and the lighting and décor pop without feeling overdone. Music can make or break a place like this, and on Saturday (4/25), the DJ nailed it. A smooth mix of EDM with reworked classics kept the energy up without overwhelming the space. Paired with a solid sound system, it elevated the entire experience. On the drinks side, there's a bit of a split. The signature cocktail menu is solid and clearly the focus, but for a speakeasy-style bar, the overall selection feels a little limited. I did appreciate seeing El Tesoro Reposado and Blanco on hand; always a good sign. I went with an Old Fashioned using the reposado, and my date had a Paloma with the blanco (based on a prep recommendation). Both were well-executed, and the bartender was accommodating and easygoing, which goes a long way. Service was smooth and quick, and we lucked out with seats at the bar at least for a while. Fair warning: around 11pm, they clear out the bar seating as the crowd builds. It shifts the energy again toward more of a standing-room, nightlife feel, but if you can snag one of the couches, you're in a good spot. Overall, Pink Shark has a lot going for it and even more potential. The speakeasy element is easily its strongest feature, and I'd love to see that identity pushed further especially with a deeper, more classic-leaning cocktail list (think Black Manhattan or a proper Boulevardier). There's something really good here it just hasn't fully settled into its lane yet. I'll definitely be returning soon. Texas Mozzer
