    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.

    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.

    Bernie and Richie took amazing care of us! Great music and yummy personal curated drinks from our fav mixologist!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Delightful tasty French Toast

    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.

    Shrimp Ceviche $18
    Joyce I.

    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.

    Adrian was great! Super kind and made great drinks! Especially that cucumber drink! The daiquiri shots that we took was super tasty also!

    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.

    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!

    Is the drag brunch kid friendly meaning are kids allowed if we buy them tickets too?

    21+ only

    Do they have a happy hour?

    No they do not

    I've tried coming here on a wednsday before but they were closed, are the hours on here accurate?

    Seems because of covid, they only open Friday through Sunday.

    Are there any outdoor bars with music near the riverwalk?

    Most of them

    Do you have to be 21 to enter? I know this question was asked back in 2018 but I wanted to see if anything has changed because of COVID

    Yes, and it's not a dive bar where too young of people should go. Definitely not a place for children.

    Anything happening on Tuesday evenings?

    The two times I been there on Tuesdays it's casual not to busy it's right amount of people to enjoy your favorite beverage but everything there is expensive so be aware on your spending.

    How is Wednesday night for dancing?

    Yea

    Is there a cover charge?

    No, unless otherwise posted.

    Where can I find information on the Sunday Brunch?

    There website https://www.paramourbar.com/ also you can make a reservation ahead of time. Enjoy it's a lot of fun!

    Do you have to be 21+ to get into paramour?

    Daniela- In the morning we do have coffee hours starting at 8am where anyone is welcome to come upstairs to Paramour! However, starting at 4pm no one under the age of 21 is allowed upstairs. I hope this helps!

    Where can I find the dress code?

    It's dress to impress, unless a theme is otherwise stated.

For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us

Despite the staff shortage, we placed a significant order for at least ten drinks. My husband had made a reservation for 6:00 PM. However, at approximately 7:30 PM, after we had already placed our drink order, a staff member informed my husband that our table reservation was only valid for two hours. Concerned about the impending two-hour limit and the delay in receiving our drinks, which had still not arrived by 7:45 PM, we inquired with our bartender about potentially canceling our order. He reassured us, stating that other tables were available should additional patrons arrive. Our subsequent visit, on Saturday, July 25, 2026, was solely with my husband. We arrived punctually, approximately five minutes before our 7:30 PM reservation. A female bartender directed us to a small, two-person table, despite the presence of two larger, seemingly more comfortable, unoccupied tables nearby. While initially assuming these larger tables might be reserved for a bigger party, the selection felt somewhat restrictive given the availability. Our seating unfortunately placed us adjacent to another patron who was using an additional chair to prop up her footwear, which contributed to an unpleasant atmosphere. The bartender then approached our table and asked if it was our first time, to which we replied it was not. She then asked if we knew what we wanted to order. We requested a brief moment to review the menu. However, we then waited for approximately fifteen minutes for her to return. Eventually, my husband had to actively call her over to place our order. Our initial drinks arrived after another ten to fifteen minutes. Subsequently, my husband attempted to catch the bartender's attention to order another round and request water. However, she was engaged in a lengthy conversation, estimated at ten minutes, with the neighboring patron and proceeded to walk past our table without acknowledging us. This extended period of being overlooked led to considerable frustration for my husband, who then felt compelled to approach the main bar directly to place our order and obtain water from a different bartender. It was only after this that the initial female bartender finally approached our table, asking if we needed anything. Considering the relatively small size of the establishment and the fact that there were only three occupied tables at the time, the level of inattentive and delayed service was particularly disappointing and, frankly, perplexing.
