It's in a neighborhood, so I had a quick "am I in the right place?" moment. Two steps inside and I was like oh yeah, we're good. This place is made for a photo op. Flower wall with a swing, pink throne chair, cute couch moment, even a pole in the center. The whole place gives cute and fun energy. Drinks Caught the tail end of happy hour (3-8), which is a win. My Moscow mule was about $7, strong with a good ginger kick. Exactly what you want. Music Started off more upbeat, kind of techno, then switched to R&B after 8. Way more my speed. Service Bar service was nice and quick. Not overly packed, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy. Overall Great spot to grab a drink and vibe with my girlfriends in a fun, chill atmosphere. No complaints. Bubbles & Bourbon is that girl.

And, it's like right around the corner from our house. The frustrating parts about Stetsons are the music and the DJs. Specifically, on Saturday nights when the place should be absolutely packed and vibing, DJ Beatdoctor comes on during the live band breaks and just ruins it all. Honestly some of the live bands we've seen have been awesome so no shade there, but when the band playing country music takes a break, play different genre songs to get the crowd out on the floor and having fun! Usually it goes: live band country - DJ comes on and plays a line dance - then he plays some cumbias - then he plays country until the band comes back on. Yawn, yall. Every once in a while he'll play some 80s and 90s dance songs but even then. I feel like I could play my Spotify playlist and get the club jumpin jumpin (shoutout Destinys Child) Is it a music royalty payment issue? Maybe switch up the DJ on Saturday night? I haven't been any other nights so I can't speak to that, but, I feel like Stetsons could be so much more! Let me help you!

Backstage Lounge popped up on my app and we decided to walk over after closing out our tab at TL&R. As we walked in, we noticed a dude sitting in a brown low lounge-y chair at the entrance. We ignored him, thinking he was a patron, and continued to walk in towards the bar. He stopped us and picked up his right hand making a square with his thumb and finger. I looked at him and looked away but quickly realized the dude on the lounge chair was no longer sitting but now he was STANDING AND furthermore, he was asking us to see our ID. Damn, sure fooled me - I thought you were a damn patron! Shit, bro! Stand up for your job, door dude! After being ID'ed we walked over the bar & looked for the first beer on draft. Guess what? NO BEERS ON DRAFT! "Damnit", was my thought. We all settled for a Shiner ($3) and decided we were going to sit in the nice couches close to the entrance so we could relax and catch up with one another. As we rounded the edges of the couches to sit, the door guy (who is SITTING down again in the damn brown lounge chair) notices us and tells us with his arms straight out "Ummm thats the VIP area. You can't sit there.". He got all little kids on the bus from Forrest Gump on us! We looked at him in a confused manner while my friend asked "Well, we can be VIP's and occupy the seats until someone does want to come and be VIPs". I asked what we needed to do to be able to sit in there. He didnt answer me but rather sat right back down in his brown chair. We scoffed and went outside to the patio to continue to have a decent conversation. We stayed for about 2 hours, mostly outside because of how deathly loud that music was bumping through the TouchTunes (whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do bars have these!?!) inside, and enjoyed our evening chatting it up out in the fresh air. As we left, the bar tab was decent (under $30 for about 12 beers) but I couldn't help but notice the 'door guy' sitting back down in that same brown chair looking at people and gawking at lady patrons. Totally unprofessional.

Sorta struggling to find a good thing to say about a strip mall bar flanked by a BBQ and Breakfast…read moreeatery... but I'll try. Backstage Lounge has a few things going for it... It's spacious. It has great well drink prices if you happen to have a lot of time to kill before checking out a movie at the Alamo Draft House. It also happens to have a MyTouch Tunes jukebox - so you can program music to listen to without ever having to leave your bar stool. It sorta suffers from the rock n' roll "theme" that hangs heavily in the air. On my first (and likely last) visit to Backstage Lounge, my friend Elizabeth ordered a White Russian and was asked by the bartender - "what's in that?". Luckily the bartender knew what was in a Gin & Tonic...

There's no real 'line' and people just move into whatever space available to get to the front. Then they order, get their drinks, and just stand there blocking the rest of the people. After getting passed up twice I gave up and sat outside. Nice patio area. But they need to spray and prep for mosquitos. It wasn't a good experience. A gentleman came out and took my order- which was top notch and unexpected- but they didn't take cash. I used the atm card- and got a double leguas- and it came to$32!!!! How sway!?!?!? The ambiance was very nice- just not enough room inside. There was a dj in the living room- but their music doesn't play on the patio. It's a boombox out there playing a different playlist.

But the acoustics...they just don't match what the space is trying to be. For a spot that leans into music and atmosphere, it gets loud not in that warm, immersive way, but more in a way that makes it hard to settle in and enjoy the sound. I was expecting something a bit more refined, more hi-fi in execution, especially given the size of the space. Right now, it feels like the sound bounces more than it embraces you. It also feels like the bar is starting to lose a bit of its identity. There are moments where it leans more toward a trendy, club-like atmosphere rather than the hi-fi vinyl lounge experience it presents itself as. That contrast can be a little confusing, especially for those of us who are drawn to that intentional listening environment. Maybe I'm comparing it too much to places like Hifi loungy bars those spots really dial in the listening experience while still keeping it intimate. That's the lane Volta feels like it wants to be in, which is why I'm hopeful. There's so much potential here. If they can fine-tune the acoustics and fully commit to that identity, this place could easily become one of the best listening bars in San Antonio. My apologies, I didn't capture any content from my time there. I was only there for mere 5-8 minutes walked in front to back and into the patio area outback and back in before I decided it wasn't catching me. I'll definitely be back still hoping it grows on me.

No sign outside that says you here so you have to look for the actual address. Once inside it is a nice vibe. It's a setup like the alley bars in New York. Long and kind of narrow but not where you are on top of anyone. We sat at the bar as we got there early. And not to long after the place filled up with people. I had an old fashioned and my wife had a pink lemon drop. The old fashioned was pretty good -and my wife enjoyed her drink as well. They have a full selection of spirits and craft cocktails as well. There's a small patio area in the back for more seating . The downside to the patio is that you cannot really hear the music out there. They had to prop the door open for the music to carry. I enjoyed the vibes and met a few people who were buying rounds for everyone . We stayed to our personal drink . I would definitely recommend trying the place out and we will go back.
