I was in San Antonio for a conference and stayed at a hotel close to Lowcountry. It was fabulous. This is a dive bar in a 100+ year old house, which gives it a lot of character and a unique feel. The drinks are great and the prices are even better. It is near the River Walk but not on it. I found Lowcountry when searching for bars in San Antonio that sold pickled eggs. FYI, they don't anymore. I stuck up a conversion with Payton the bartender and they have not sold them for some time. Payton was super nice. You can get a bourbon and mini Miller High Life for $6. If you are looking for a laid-back spot with excellent value, Lowcountry is it. read more

The bartender asshole. He sucks and we just walked in after Niosa just waiting for uber then was very judgmental kicking us out for no reason. I've been this bar before but never had this experience before. read more

Finally went here since they've been closed the last few times (not open on Mondays). They have a good happy hour and I enjoyed the craft cocktails. Drank my old fashion on their little front porch. It is a small location, but really cool vibes. read more

The bartender at the hotel I was staying at recommended this spot. It essentially felt like I was walking into a frat house, but a lot cleaner and the bar is a pretty nice setup inside a home. Cheap drinks and a good time. read more

The margarita is hand made not from a machine. Double Entendre is delicious. We are from Kansas City & the main places on yelp have been okay. But this place is a great local place everyone should stop at. read more

Lowcountry - House handmade margarita & The Double Entendre - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Came in on my birthday with my BF just to get away from my family after a birthday lunch. Walked in and immediately felt some cool vibes going on here. I love how quaint and home-y Lowcountry feels. The bar is super cool and dark looking - I love it. There is a variety of craft cocktails you can choose from here so take your pick or default to the house sangria. Back patio is pretty awesome but small so if you have a big party it may be better for you to be inside where you can seat 6-8 people in the room right by the restroom. The front room was spacious yet romantic with the mantel and the pews off against the wall. Cool art! I thought I saw a Daniel Johnston piece but I wasn't 100% sure. Best thing about Lowcountry? The view of the Tower of the Americas from their front patio. Off in the distance can you marvel at a 1968 World Fair structure that is amazingly still standing and operating in San Antonio. Lowcountry - you da best! Also side note - I heard that many traveling bands and local bands come play here at Lowcountry. Recently I heard a gig advertised on Austin radio (KUTX) for a show at Lowcountry that should not be missed. Safe to say that their a lowkey Lowcountry music venue too. I am a fan. read more

Quaint unique cocktail bar situated just outside of the main Downtown drag. Go here for your after after dinner drinks and sit on their backyard porch or the patio. It is the perfect place to take a friend to have a quiet intimate conversation or hang with a group of friends who want to try interesting cocktails. What I love about this cocktail bar is that their drinks are made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. The drinks are complex and flavorful. The price per drink is not that bad either! I didn't find this place on my own, it was reommended to me. Now, I make plans to go every time I am in town. Return Factor:100% read more

Just when you thought that the only things to check out in San Antonio are the Alamo and Tex-Mex food on the River Walk, lo and behold a delicious bar serving high-quality concoctions inside a residential-home-converted bar. Basically, Lowcountry serves some delicious cocktails in an intimate dimly lit environment. I had a tasty whiskey based cocktail I wish I could have again--there was a big orange rind in there that managed to not seem gaudy or annoying. Their simple website is very accurate for a self description: A southern little hole-in-the-wall in San Antonio, TX. Hours: mon-sun 4pm-2am read more

Comfortable ambiance. Great drinks. Awesome service. They feature great local bands. I enjoy myself every time I go. Dog friendly porch. Ashtrays at every table. Fantastic curated selection of beers and delicious cocktails. Selection of nonalcoholic beverages also currently available. read more

Returned to Low Country with high expectations as I gave it a 5 star review 3 years ago when we visited. One hit wonder....first visit was awesome second visit was fine. Just fine. Happy hour was fine...vibe of the place missing but was fine. Ernie is no longer there so strike one and bartender was bothered by our presence! Just a 3. Won't go out of my way again and wouldn't recommend as I have been the past 3 years of anyone visiting the area. read more

This hole-in-the-wall bar is the newest addition to Southtown's coolest speakeasy-type bars. Lowcountry is a tiny converted home, consisting of about three rooms, so things can either be insanely packed, or completely dead. It's hard to find it at a comfortable number of people. But it is a good place to go to hear some live music. The old house gives acoustics unlike any other venue in town. The place is so small, that if you need to squeeze by to go to the restroom, or get another beer, you're going to have to walk through the middle of the band. In fact, if you want to dance, you'll probably be grinding at least one member of the band. The drinks are delicious and imaginative. They've got the regular beers, as well as a few really great craft beers. Beer is cheap, $3 for Lone Star, which goes even cheaper during HH. They offer champagne for $3/glass all day, every day. Not too shabby! The bartenders are great, incredibly friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable about their drinks, and want to make sure that they get it right. The decor is interesting. It seems like they didn't change much since this was an old house off of Durango Street. There's a piece of art with the coordinates 29N 33W, or something to that effect. If you look it up, it's off the coast of S. Carolina. I have no idea what that means. There's a front, and a back patio area, where things get a bit less cramped. This place is not ADA compliant. They have a handicapped elevator in the back, but it seemed inoperable and covered with empty beer cans. Granted, most of those beer cans were mine. There are stairs in the front and the back, so it could pose a problem. read more

Lowcountry - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I want to start out by saying this bar isn't for everyone. Not everybody is going to like it, it is smaller than most, and if you have a goo band playing it'll be hard to find a seat inside. The patio however is spacious, and the drinks are so, so, good. It is a cocktail bar, though they do offer some bottled beers and wine. They have a cocktail menu that is written daily, so it's always changing. while some might be disappointed to find that a drink they liked one day, isn't on the menu the next, I think it's what makes the bar so great. Variety is the spice of life after all! This really is your friendly neighborhood bar, the bartenders are all quite experienced and are pulled in from bars all over the city. if you frequent the bar scene, and frequent this bar, it will quickly become like cheers, where "everyone will know your name." There is frequently live music playing, either in doors or outside depending on the weather. The ambiance is great, on the patio you can see the Tower of the Americas. The inside perfectly captures a balance between divey and classy, intimate and friendly. It's a really great bar, and while not everyone will like it, they should at least give it a chance. read more

Lowcountry is a super chill, secluded, hideaway. Bartender was kind and helpful. I'd never been there before and he seem happy to tell me about their house cocktails. The clientele was, from what I could see, 20s to mid 30s. LGBTQ+ friendly, I'm a cis woman, but it's important to know, if you want to ensure your money goes to good people. My only reason for not give 5 stars is that the outdoor seating is not very comfortable, but it's not that big a deal. Oh, please be smarter than me. If you park across the street, its pay to park. I didnt know that, or see a sign. There was NO machine to pay or someone in a kiosk, so...I'm contesting it. Anyway, find out where and who you're supposed to pay. I am definitely going back, maybe take an Uber next time, avoid parking all together. EDIT-I just want to make perfectly clear, my parking issue has nothing to do with Lowcountry. I just included it in my review so I can maybe save you some money. read more

Made a pitstop here prior to my dinner reservation- fantastic inventive cocktail spot that approached drinks like a chef thinks of food: how can we best combine seasonal ingredients in new and exciting ways to dazzle palates? Interior vibe was on point- great homey, vintage, quirky, cozy nook feels. The art on the walls was interesting and additive to the experience. Reasonably priced, friendly service and perfect spot for a drink any time of day. 12/10 would return. read more

I had high hopes when I saw this bungalow-turned bar. I like simple places and the words across the front, "Beer Boiled Peanuts Cocktails" sounded enticing, so I went out of the way to try the place. Granted we walked in soon after their opening time (4 PM), but he bartender looked at us as if we were intruding. We asked if we could have boiled peanuts. No, they didn't have any (really? You're advertising 3 things and you don't have one of them?) They did have beers. It was obvious that conversation with the staff was not part of the deal, so we sat and chatted among ourselves while we drank our beers. Maybe the atmosphere would be better if we came in at night, but we just felt unwanted. Not very welcoming and given the high hopes, it was a big disappointment. read more

I live close to here and have in this place a few times and Nikki and Alex have always been awesome. This time I'm here with my brother and cousin from out of town. The drinks are amazing and my brother is happy with his Good Sport. read more

Drinks were very tasty but the portions for the price are inadequate. Great atmosphere in a great area. The House sangria is flavorful and very refreshing. The watermelon mule was also very tasty. Sweet with the ginger bite, would have been better served in a Cooper mug and a larger quantity with less ice. read more

No real hospitality or smiles, no conversation to be had. The fact that the bar stays open until 2 and is across the street from the Marriott must help them stay in business. They don't seem to appreciate that business however. This place has an opportunity to be friendly and welcoming but they are blowing it. I enjoyed my time with my husband but we love to talk and converse with others especially in a bar. We gave up on the staff and met a cool couple. read more

My wife and I went here to have a cocktail this past Saturday evening. After ordering drinks from a female bar tender (did not get her name) I went back to the bar a few minutes later to ask for a couple of water, I kid you not, I waited patiently for about five minutes while she just BS with her friend, not giving me the time of day. Finally, I asked if I could please get two waters and she said in a condescending tone without ever even looking my way that there is a water dispenser in the corner. We were told by a few of the other customer that she is always like that...WOW! I could not believe it! Hopefully the owner of this establishment reads this because she was totally unprofessional. read more

I went during happy hour and their blackboard cocktails were all $5. A very good deal on an eclectic list. Bartender was nice and knew her stuff. She matched me up with a great cocktail. I enjoyed my fennel-based margarita. It was a Wednesday early evening, so the vibe was lowkey but very friendly, super approachable. I love what they've done with the place. It's like an old college house converted into a bar. The crowd matched the bar. It was perfect after a long day attending a conference. read more

Wow. So this bar is essentially what i crave in a city. Easy music. Soothing, relaxed home atmosphere. Comfy seating. A small selection of well made craft cocktails by legit bartenders. Pimento cheese and white bread. Pickled veggies and eggs. Boiled peanuts. Pure Southern. Now I have somewhere to take the first interesting girl I meet in this city lol. Oh, and if none of that appeals to you, head to the back porch for some louder tunes and an altogether different atmosphere. Whatever Lowcountry is selling, I am buying. read more

Great Spot! Cool little place, good drinks, good prices. Our bartender, Taylor Rae was great!!! Cool little spot, nice vibe, new bar. You all should visit, definitely recommend this place. I will be back. I hear they usually have live music on the weekends. I'll be back! read more

Lowcountry is a tiny hole-in-the-wall bar. Which I would normally love but usually at a bar that seats maybe 12 comfortably, there's an added warmth that comes with it. In my first and last visit, Lowcountry was damn right icy. Met up with a group of 4 as the bar was opening. Walking in I thought, that's it? It really is just two rooms, the seating area which has random chairs and church pew benches and the bar which has no seating. Cozy. If this sounds like an indictment on Lowcounty's size, it's not. I'm a big fan of the odd camaraderie that happens when strangers drink in a close setting. The bar menu is written on the walls and after giving our order to a bartender that looked like he either didn't like us or was just super green at customer service, we took our seat. It was blustery outside (in SA speak, it was windy and 40) so we chose a corner furthest away from the door. A group of women, who I assume were the owners/managers because they weren't there for funsies, kept coming in and out of the bar and never fully closing the door. We must have gotten up at least four times to shut the door after them because like I said, freezing. So a cold reception followed by quickly drinking a hot toddy too heavy on the lemon so we could go some place that was at least 60 degrees inside. With all the other options on S. Alamo, there's nothing here to lure me back. read more

Went to this place to hear my niece, Kathryn Legendre. I was in the mood for Cava, and did t get a mixed drink, but I love that they have skilled mixed drink bartenders. Nice outside area, lots of parking across the street, can't remember how much they charged. It's close to food trucks too! The inside is small, but it was an interesting (in a good way) group of people! read more

This is a great cocktail bar out of the crowds of the Riverwalk. Great drink menu and laid back atmosphere.

Lowcountry is just like it's region namesake: friendly, cozy and downright enjoyable. From Denise, the engaging and creative bartender, the quaint ambience and inventive menu, Lowcountry offers a unique experience in the bustling San Antonio craft cocktail scene. On my visit I had the lazy mans old fashioned, a neat twist on a classic cocktail. Take a trip to the lowcountry and enjoy an intimate and friendly place. read more

The environment is relaxed. It's literally a house, so it naturally feels like home. I thought they played country music because of the name, and since I was desperate for a drink I didn't care. Luckily they play my favorite strange creepy music. I love their cocktails and craft beer selection. read more

Def. not a country bar. Very hipsterish. Beer prices were reasonable but vodka tonic was overpriced. My wife said her vodka tonic was horrible. Small and cozy, I can see why people go there but not my cup of tea. read more

Um... we might have really liked this place. But we walked through the empty front room and passed through to the bar where there were 2 guys behind the bar and 3 guys in front of it who may have also worked there, not sure. Nobody said a word to us. Their conversation at least paused, but it was just this awkward feeling like we crashed a private party or something. How do you not even say hello, especially when you're pretty much empty at 10pm in a Fri?? What little I saw of the cocktails on the chalkboard menu (cuz it felt too awkward to stand there looking at it), I was intrigued. But no thank you. read more

First time at this spot and it was so cozy and welcoming. The bar staff was super nice and the drinks were on point. Low bar is dog friendly witch is a huge plus for us and our pup.

They didn't have the boiled peanuts which was disappointing but the drinks were pretty good and great prices at happy hour.

Bar in a house? Yes in Texas! Super local spot with enjoyable cocktails and music or dj some nights.
