Came with some friends for my birthday and it did not disappoint! We got a bottle of champagne with orange and cranberry juice to start and eventually traded orange to pineapple. I had the American sandwich. Very hearty meal. The drag show was amazing. Will definitely be back! read more

Paramour - American sandwich - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Really was disappointed in the service yesterday...the food was not edible as it was litterally a hot dog with microwaved pancakes...on the menu it stated sausage and this is definitely a hot dog. Not to mention, the show was over an hour late and with the price of the non edible food/ and drinks I really would not recommend this place. I don't even know how it's legal to serve this kind of food and charge the way they do. read more

I really wish there was more transparency around the pricing of the Sunday Drag Brunch. I paid $46.30 for 2 people thinking it included the brunch and was charged an additional $40.00+ for the food which was over an hour late and I was not even able to get to get a second meal... very disappointing for a buffet. I truly enjoyed the show hosts and the queens. They were fun and very welcoming to all. The show was just the right amount of time and kept me laughing / engaged the whole time. Please keep in mind that in addition to the entry fee, buffet fee, drinks (they even charge for water), you will also need to bring money for the performers. As far as the venue, it is beautiful and clean. You will be sat with random people either across or next to you depending on your party due to the sitting set up The service was as 3/5 because although they were nice, when I asked for things, they were not brought or forgotten (water + my drink + syrup). I had to get up twice to order my own drinks. read more

Stopped by for some celebratory drinks on a Monday evening. Sat outside and entered the evening. Was quiet and relaxing on a Monday evening and the bar tenders were very attentive and made great drinks. Will absolutely be going back to hand out and try more orients from the menu. I had the Old Fashioned three ways and all 3 were very good. read more

What used to be awesome is shit now. Why? Gorgeous view. Service sucks ass. Nothing they said they had was available. "Sorry we are out of that". Reoccurring theme. Do places simply not want to be in business? Food? "We don't know when we serve food, it's a guess day by day". Really. The workers did not care. I'd say it's on the owner but your people do not care anymore. I felt like I was told well "f" off sorry we don't have it. Mind you. They are dead and we showed up with 20 people. We left. read more

I came here in the afternoon so can't speak to the brunch. The cocktails were pretty good but pretty overpriced for what it is. Bartender was friendly and helpful, decor and rooftop is nice! read more

Visited from Austin and came for my anniversary and let me tell yall-- this is suchhhh a vibe! I came on a Saturday night and moving forward this will be a staple to stop by. The bar manager gave us a special treat for our anniversary and our server was extremely helpful picking out our drinks. The drink lists is massive and I honestly will be back to try every one of them. If you want a unique vintage vibe for the night with a massive square foot this is the place! Also would be really good for a birthday/bachelorette for big groups, highly recommend! read more

Paramour - Old Fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My wife and I spent a night in San Antonio celebrating our anniversary and came here Friday afternoon around 3pm just because we noticed it from the river walk. Food isn't sold until later in the day, so we had a couple of drinks and left--it was the windy weather that drove us out as I really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere--plenty of seating inside and outside with dogs allowed, at least when it's early and empty--which was cool. Music was on target for the setting to complete the vibe--it's beautiful outside! Service was friendly but slow and we were pretty much the only ones there, but that's also probably the issue--this is more of a nightclub scene than an early afternoon drink scene. Very pricey, but you only live once, and when Spring is past, so will be the wind. 4 stars. read more

10/16/22 This is to review the drag brunch show this day. Note: not for kids, although someone brought a one-year old. It's about $15 per person. Not bad. Where they get you is for drinks and food. Prices in the double-digits. Food portion are NOT large, more on the appetizer size. Service is very good. Comes by regularity to check on you. The show is typical drag - Lip-syncing to songs, prance and try acrobatic moves. Give them money for their efforts. It is a fun time. Good and risqué. The drag queens will get you to do things for free shots and bottles. The downside is that the entry process is not very smooth or quick. One person is checking your tickets and then seats you. He then comes back for the next people and does it again. Takes a while. The line cascades down the many flights of stairs. At least you get a breather between flights because of the forever wait to be seated periods. The seating areas are covered and uncovered. They supply umbrellas to the people seated in the sun. It can be quite warm. The restrooms are labeled as 'drip dry' (women) and 'flip dry' (men). Took me a minute to figure this one out. I saw a woman (I guess ???) come out of the drip dry, so I went in there. Definitely worth a try. read more

This place is great for pics and is aesthetically pleasing. There's an area that you can sit outside and see a view of the city. They have a champagne vending machine but you have to purchase a token and an attendant will escort you there but you have to drink the champagne on premise. The chicken on crack was bomb! Quite delicious. I did get duped with the old fashion as the pour was not consistent. There was only 1 server/bartender as he said the other server that was supposed to come in called in. He did try his best and forgot our orders so we spent the majority of time waiting. I spent $100+ here and would give them another chance. read more

Definitely the place to come to for entertainment. If you do have plans to come here, come hungry. From what was presented, ordering food is a requirement. Sounds like the alcohol sales trump the food sales, iykyk. Staff here is friendly. Tip regardless of your party size, until everyone has arrived you & your party will not be seated. Realized this after waiting. Breakfast menu is available until 1 & after 1 there is a different menu. The after 1 menu seemed more appealing especially with alcohol. French toast scrumptious & presentation was good. Honestly we were not really hungry as we had full blown breakfast before arriving. French toast, ordered arrived hot & nice presentation. Honestly the food that the group ordered, no complaints. We enjoyed our French Toast, could have used a bit more syrup. FYI you don't get condiments rather the condiments are placed on your food such as syrup. Believe majority of people who come here, come to enjoy entertainment. The entertainment does not disappoint. Everyone was getting into the vibe. Women up & dancing with the performers. Drinks meh, anything with a pitcher or bottle tasty. Bar mix drinks not so much. Aside from the dollar tips, food and drink menu, there is an entrance fee & which you must confirm day before. Yes, this was not cheap. This is a place you go to enjoy entertainment & friend's company. read more

Came for drag brunch and it was a great show! Nothing against the drag queens, but the actual restaurant and bar is dramatically overpriced. I can understand having that pricing because "it comes with the a show," but we're already paying $20 admission. The food and drinks don't need to be $18+. That's more than stadiums, restaurants and bars anywhere. Seriously every cocktail is $18. It's ridiculous. And they're charging $48 for a bottle of champagne brands that cost $11 at the store. For the food, I don't recommend the charcuterie board. It comes with a lot of meat but only like 5 pieces of crusty bread. Could at least provide crackers? I recommend getting the shrimp ceviche because it tasted great and the serving was large so at least it felt worth the money. Could be served with more chips though. DONT GET THE AVOCADO TOAST. Again it's $18 which is absurd, because it was on sandwich bread and was just smashed up avocado and black sesame seeds. No other nuances to make it "fancy toast" The charcuterie board had better bread than that... I would rate this place lower but I like the drag queens and want San Antonio to continue to have an establishment to host them. It's just sad that the owners have to nickel and dime their guests with these prices. read more

Thursday night bar hopping led us to Paramour rooftop bar at 11:30 pm, just before they closed at midnight. The bartender kindly mentioned the closing time upon our arrival and offered us water along with the menu. Despite a long drink list, he happily made off-menu items, and my choice, an espresso martini, turned out to be the best in a long time. The place had plenty of seating areas with fun pillows, and being next to the river walk, the view was stunning. Getting our last drinks around 11:50 pm, the bartender reassured us there was no rush to finish despite them closing soon. He chatted with us, giving recommendations for places to go next. read more

What happened to Paramour? This place used to have a great vibe, but it's completely gone downhill. We came in with a party of 12--literally the only large group in the place--and the place was practically empty aside from a few people at the bar. Still, the service was absolutely terrible. It took over an hour just to get any drinks and in the end, we had to cancel our order altogether. The waiter was inattentive and disorganized, and the whole experience felt like an afterthought. Paramour has clearly lost whatever made it special, and I won't be coming back. read more

Amazing spot to grab drinks with friends. Super cool setting and tons of seating. Great views on the upper deck. Great spot to socialize.

Walking along the Riverwalk, I'd heard excited cheers spilling out of the building. I didn't know they were coming from here, nor did I know they were cheering on San Antonio's best. These drinks are strong! We had good service and the entertainers were impressive to say the least. Loved the ambiance and I can't wait to spend another Sunday morning here. We brought my friend's mom and she also had a great time. It was her first drag show. She's definitely down to come back too! read more

A lovely and lively rooftop bar. Both outdoor and indoor decor are bright, witty, and beautifully appointed. Our servers were attentive and friendly, however Selinda was top-notch! The bar is quite stunning to see and read the numerous bottles of whiskey, bourbon, and tequilas. We sampled a variety of cocktails and munchies. The antipasto charcuterie platter was a delight to the senses. My favorite was the old fashion, well balanced and not overly sweet. We had a grand time.! read more

Just left the establishment- it was my first time there and I went with a group of 5 women; our 6th person ended up showing up at 11:30am so I graciously left my group to join my friend at the bar to not leave her alone. I'm disappointed in them because they charged my friend at the table for me. When I closed out my tab to join my friend at the bar even after presenting her with my receipt. They know what they are doing. I had 2 drinks and a water with a $71.00 tab. Then they go and charge my friend an additional $20 for the brunch regardless of the fact she showed my receipt. I'm not happy with the outcome and want this rectified read more

Drag brunch review group of 10 for the 11-130 show; they made us all buy the brunch food due to buying bottle before 12. they said food has to be on table so we bought 1 plate of food and then the server came back and said EVERYONE has to pay for the brunch. we've been here several times and this has never been an issue. we paid $20 each for brunch that we did NOT eat. i was very disappointed about this issue. would not be going back as ALL of their employees don't know how to communicate the appropriate "rules" about having alcohol on the table and food. they said everyone who ordered drinks before 12 has to order food. if it is on one tab you still ALL have to order food no matter what. 0/10. they need to add all this information on their website read more

Went to the Sunday drag brunch and had a blast! The tickets were $30. We were told a line forma early so we got there an hour before show time and had great seats. The show is high energy and the hostess interacts with the crowd. She's funny and all the performers were great. Based on the show alone, 5 stars! Let's talk about drinks...delicious, definitely pack a bunch however they are sooooo expensive! For the price I give the drinks 3 stars. The food I would skip. Nothing we ordered wowed us, zero stars for the food. Apparently they did away with their $20 buffet now each entree is about $20 but for that price just eat before/after. read more

The drag show is amazing! The entertainment is top notch for south Texas and you'll love Kristi Waters! Make sure to arrive early if you're planning on attending the drag brunch so you can sit inside under the industrial size fans otherwise you'll get to experience Texas hell size heat outside. Bring your friends for an amazing time with the drag show. Make sure to pre-eat and pre-drink because the food is by far the worst brunch food in SA (sorry not sorry) and the drinks were overpriced and ehhh (unimpressive). I would have rated a 3 star but for the amazing time we had because of the AMAZING DRAG SHOW! Come with a group and get there early! read more

Scammed our entire group. Two of the couples got a huge additional charge after our visit. My second (not legitimate) charge was $350... And one person in our group got less than I did during the visit but was charged about $100 more. Now we can't get anyone to answer the phone or return messages. Disputing the charges. Will not be back. read more

Spotted this place from across our rented condo on the river while on a short vacation. My husband and I went one afternoon last week. We met the bartender, Isaiah F, and chatted a bit. He was so nice and provided incredible service! Very knowledgeable on his mixology and drinks and surprised me with a "Pillow Princess" which was so good! The vibe and furnishings here are amazing - We loved the outdoor patio that overlooks the Riverwalk. Can't wait to come back! read more

The atmosphere and location were impeccable. The service however was abysmal. It took over 20 minutes to get 3 mixed drinks in a nearly deserted bar. The friendly bartender helping us shared it was her first day bartending anywhere ever. The other (more experienced) staff refused to make eye contact, acknowledge, or speak to us . They did not watch to ensure the new hire made our drinks correctly. They did not taste good at all. And they were $16 each. Extremely disappointing read more

Attended a birthday drag brunch this past Sunday. I'm glad they are still hosting these. The atmosphere is beautiful and full of very nice staff. The show was good. Very loud environment for my sensitive ears. That's just me though. Unfortunately the brunch menu kind of falls flat. And the after 1pm menu as well. It's not a sit down type brunch so I get it's limited and they do try to offer a variety on the menu but for the prices it doesn't quite fit. But to hang with friends and have fun-priceless. read more

The staff is all new and they told me that they are all new because all of the previous staff walked out. I had heard amazing things about the previous staff from my friends who came to previous shows so I was disappointed that I got a rotation of new people who didn't know the answers to any questions I asked about the menu and drinks. The drag queens are amazing and the show is funny but you can tell the ownership is lacking. I've read articles online about Martin Phipps and I'm surprised any women would want to work here knowing the kind of man he is. Drinks are way overpriced for what they are. I can go see the same group of drag queens (who I loved) at a better bar that doesn't overcharge for drinks and that has better staff. No wonder the previous staff all left. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

Paramour is such a cute little rooftop bar right on the riverwalk. The views are beautiful, and the decor/style of the bar is so cute! Tons of photo opportunities! The staff were super friendly and attentive. Because it was my first time, I was given this super cute little margarita on the house. My friends and I went to drag brunch, so there was a decent selection of breakfast items to choose from (fruit, French toast, eggs). The one down side is the price - this was an expensive girl's brunch. That said - we had a great time. So I would recommend checking it out at least once! read more

Used to be 5 stars. The secret to the FUN was the city's best MC, Kristi Waters. She would cut up on the crowd, tease the other drag queens and help stir up the crowd during their performances. It was hilarious! Always so fun, laugh until my stomach hurt. Now, it's different. They're trying something different and I sure hope they realize they need to stop and pivot back to what worked. Kristi Waters shouldn't waste her wit just to lip synch to 5 songs. Not that much fun....Her always memorable performance was very much missed. Hope they bring the fun and sarcasm BACK soon. read more
