The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection. Over the years, I've visited for everything from informal business discussions to evenings spent with close friends. The intimate lighting, softly glowing candlelight, and thoughtfully curated ambiance create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Combined with a moderate noise level that allows for comfortable conversation, it's an ideal setting for both meaningful catch-ups and professional engagements.

What a great little neighborhood dive bar! Not in my neighborhood, though, so minus one star. Just…read morejoking. I heard this was a fun place to go from my friends in the neighborhood so we decided to meet up here one weekday night. The door guy carded us, luckily my AARP card was accepted. Sidenote: That card is impending. We arrived at about 7 and there were a couple people at the bar, but we heard it was also karaoke night so people were trickling in throughout the evening. Everyone was friendly and chatty. They have a decent selection of beer and spirits, probably a little something for everyone. I learned that there is a jukebox and you can buy music on an app. This definitely kept the vibe interesting. Lighthouse was a fun night and I'm sure we'll be back again.

It embodies the real homegrown San Antonio. Nostalgic vibes near Woodlawn lake, plenty of free street parking, and always a free or low-price admission fee. There is often a tent set up out front with food hot off the grill. Also, there is pool & darts. I love this place!!

Good crowd in attendance and the music was pretty good mostly reggae (new music though not older like Bob Marley which makes a difference). They also had a food truck on site - Kai's Carribean Fusion which was delicious! I only ordered a Jack and coke here so the drink was pretty standard. It's good vibe for sure and worth checking out.

Great night, sky and cityscapes, but you're not facing anything that is particularly beautiful to look at. That said, the outdoor area of this sky. High bar is very nicely appointed with great music and nice views. I did not have any cocktails just go round. I just had a beer and all that was great. We had great service and I decided to try the crispy chicken Cobb salad. Now for those of you that are old enough to remember the "real men of genius" Bud Light commercials I refer you to the inventor of the giant taco salad... Fried chicken strips, bacon, fried onions, and a little bit of lettuce... Lol! Delicious!

During our recent stay at the Thompson San Antonio, we explored the dining options at this…read morerestaurant for all 3 meals. One of the reasons we picked this property was the vegan on-property options. Let's get to the bads, since they overshadowed the experience - dinner service was supeeeer slow. Their main attraction, the lamb was not available but they did offer shawarma from their lunch leftover which we got. And it was bad. Pita had a stink of bad oil, it was stale and the meat was dry. Lunch salad was disappointing as well. The goods - breakfast was good. Prompt service and menu has something for everyone. The dips from dinner menu were really good as well as the potato's didn't disappoint. Their main attraction vibe is good and the stuff seemed okay too.
