Wandered back into San Antonio and I have to say I missed this place. Roland is that classic bartender who doesn't put up with any nonsense but will make you feel at home. As he always does. Haven't been there in three years and still remembers my drinking habits. Am I to predictable? Yeah probably. Still that proper dive, you'll see quite a few regulars that just come in to chill and hang out on the weekdays, and the weekends are always a celebration! Also one of the few places where you get everyone from all walks of life, from young and old. You'll always leave with a decent conversation or connection every time I've visited . Common tradition is to sign a dollar bill and staple it to the wall. read more

Service is great! Ambiance is a regular crowd, similar to a Cheers (tv show) atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced! read more

Serna's Backyard - 2x's and Modelo! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Cane to watch Football Thursday night. The music was so loud everyone was shouting to be heard. The funny thing was everyone was watching the game and 2 guys playing pool. I asked the bartender why they don't have the game sound on since everyone is watching the game. He said that's how the owner wants it. The funny thing is that the owner was the loudest person shouting. Cheap beer, but to be listed in yelp as a sports bar is nuts. read more

The bar has potential, music is ok....but the service is lacking. 2nd time in a row they pay little if no attention to portions of the bar. They focus on the regular types including some "sugar daddy" types. Would not recommend unless you like getting ignored...... read more

I stopped in for a beer on a Sunday afternoon because it's been on my list forever and it was a pleasant surprise. Immediately, as you enter, you're transported to a different world. Outside, a bright sunny late summer day. Inside, you're greeted with a dim, almost dark, atmosphere. The windows are tinted. The bar's patrons are congregated along the spacious bar, yelling at the TV as their favorite team scores a touchdown. It's a bit insetting at first. The bar seems to have a lot of regulars as they all seem to know one another and the friendly bartender. The kind of familiarity one is accustomed to at a local favorite. Serna's is a hole in the way, dicey, sportsbar. There are two pool tables, two dart machines, (unfortunately) the bro-a-meter (ie the electronic punching bag that brings out the dbag in every bro), and many televisions. It's a *great* place to watch the game. The bar is dedecked with signed one dollar bills and there is other kitschy stuff decorating the walls. Instead of being ostentatious, it fits the character of the bar. I like it. The parking is a bit limited and there is construction on Potranco at the moment so you might have to find parking across the street if it's busy. I didn't get a chance to hang out outside but I understand there's a big outdoor area that hosts local bands. I'll be sure to come back and check it out. As I said, the bartender on duty today is friendly. She makes a decent michelada and is attentive. What more do you need? If you live over here on the far west side and are looking for a cool spot, I'd recommend checking out Serna's. The people seem friendly, the prices are reasonable, and they have live music. It's a chill little spot. read more

It's a small little bar with plenty to do. They have pool table, TV's, and a back patio with a stage for a band. They have drink specials. If you in the area you need to check them out. They have live music on the weekend. The staff is very friendly and very welcoming. read more

Serna's Backyard - They have a projector to watch the games - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Finally found a good dive on the west side. This is a good spot to watch a game. They have cheap drinks, cool staff, a great outdoor area, and poker. The only downside is the awful parking situation. In front you have to park 3 cars deep or park across the busy road with no crosswalk, bridge, stop light, or anything. Oh, the bathrooms are super gross too, but it's definitely not the worst I've seen. read more

Serna's Backyard - Awesome outdoor projector to watch the games on. Go Spurs!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great place for trivia on Wednesday and good happy hour specials. You can order pizza and get feliver Order food and get it delivered. Pei Wei, drinks and Trivia equals awesome hump day !!! read more

Always what I come back for, 100% true country spot. No pretentious attitudes, just hometown friendly vibes.

The bar is absolutely amazing!!! Best bar staff ever and the drinks are reasonably priced. The karaoke nights and live music nights are incredible! Let's talk about the pizza!!! TERRIBLE. Worst pizza ever!!! read more

The bar is cool. Parking sucks. Limited access for the band to access the stage with the over-growth by the gate.

A great local dive bar, good price, have pool tables and patio. Parking is kind bad. Overall, good place to have a drink read more

Best bar around town! Has great trivia on Wednesday nights. Bartenders make good drinks. Best bartender is Lyndsey.

Surprisingly busy! Great place to have drinks and fun with friends. Games outsIde, pool and darts inside. Something for everyone.

Nice little spot on the NW side of SA. The inside bar has you covered on liquor and also a good selection of beers. There's an outdoor bar with smaller liquor selection and some beers as well. My wife and I went there on a Friday night and saw one of the local bands and I will say for an outside setup the sound was great. As others have stated parking isn't the best and if you showed up ealry I would suggest not parking near the build as you'll have to ask others to move to get out. Also there's no food or bar snacks, there was a taco truck there until midnight, so be prepared to have something delivered or bring with you. Other then that pretty nice place and look forward to going back. read more

We go occasionally because it's a dive bar closer to home. It gets the job done on a regular night out where we don't want to get too crazy. They usually have cheap drink specials. We sit outside. Of the several times we have been, we enjoyed one night with a live band out in the back. We really love sitting outside with giant Jenga. Another night they had karaoke but the line to sing was too long to make the cut, a good hour before close. read more

Sernas is a great place to meet and relax. The atmosphere is inviting and open. The owner Daniel is exceptional. He provides customer focused attention that says this is not only a place to belong, but to work as well. He takes care of his staff and it shows in the consistent service and environment he works hard to maintain. Trivia, live music and karaoke will keep me coming back. Great place!!! read more

One of my favorite spots to go and have a drink . They have a live band on the weekends on an out door stage. It is a little small inside not much room but love coming to see my friends play. I had my Birthday party here once and the Manager and owner went out of their way to make me happy. I really enjoyed myself and had a great time. They have only two pool tables and the restrooms are small but they have great drink specials. If you want to see some great bands play and have a great time Sernas Backyard is the place to be. You all will see me there when FLIPSIDE BAND PLAYS there on the weekend. See yall there!!! read more

Sernas is a good little bar to drink at. They offer free trivia on Wednesdays and have recently added a delicious food truck outside.

Best local bar. Great drink specials. $2 pints on Monday!! I catch all my Monday night football games here. Beka is the best! Great live music. Large patio for parties. Nothing fancy, just a great place to make new friends. Never had or seen any issues. Parking is not that great but still worth checking out. Just park across the street at the auto shop. read more

Went with a bunch of friends just to hang out on a Saturday night. The place was perfectly divey on the inside, we enjoyed the drink specials and soon were contemplating our next move, but just then we discovered the outside. Once we did, there was no leaving because of the great dj they had. Plenty of space, good lighting, and the kid took requests! You can see the projector screen outside - perfect for game day. Everyone else mentioned parking, yep, it's awful. Even saw some people park at the car wash across potranco, then risk their lives to cross. Great bar staff as well. read more

Great place to play trivia on Wednesday's, bartenders are amazing, prices good, and everyone there is super friendly,best of all it's close to home read more

Amazing progress in the last couple months, coming from a long time patron this bar has a great location and keeps getting better and better. Live music, great karaoke, specials up the wazoo, and something going on every night of the week. Give it a shot, you'll be impressed. read more

Cheap Drinks, Good Amount of Bartenders, Music, Darts, Pool, Good Times...

Kat Dennings look alike works at the bar. 10/10 would come again plus cheap drinks and a banging patio.

This place is not a biker friendly bar, i got turned away i wasn't mad about it, it was a tuesday night and there was probably only 8 people there so they did me a favor but thats ok this military member and biker will go spend my money somewhere more popular and friendlier. read more

Came in with gentlemen who where considering a new venue to which they might become regular patrons of. After building multiple tabs North of $50, each individual in our party was insulted by both staff and other customers to the point that they felt physically unsafe at said location.. The Bartender was fantastic, but ownership should seriously look into new management before before any prominent taste maker is allowed to review said establishment. For they would become so disappointed with there visit as to recommend that the business be given a wide birth. read more

Got blamed for something I didn't do...and kicked out...happened 2 days ago...haven't been there in weeks and Daniel and other people know me...good look fucks read more

Staff is friendly..looks like there's alot of regulars..parking is horrible. We went during the week and there was no happy hour. Overall, enjoyed the food from the taco truck parked in the front lot. read more

This bar by far sucks the bartender tried to cut me off after a $9 tab which is 3 drinks I was there from 7-2 so clearly everyone I was with was mad at this situation but a couple people apparently said I wasn't right! Bartender didn't even try to see how I was just listened to drunk regulars over a first timer so I will never be back here and recommend you avoid as well read more

sweet spot. Lyndsey rocks...best bartendress evah!

Good spot to get drinks that are not expensive on any not night. I like it because its in my area... Off 1604. The bartenders are cool and make bomb drinks. read more

I have been going to this place for a few years. great location, great drinks (and cheap!), lots to do, and always a good time. they have great ppl as well. I have yet to have a bad time. love watching games at the bar as well. read more

The drinks are pretty decent and the bartenders are really friendly. They will hook you up if you are a regular so that is a huge plus for me. They sometimes have live band performing so it is a good place to hang out with friends after work. Besides the drinks there are pool tables and several arcade games so you will rarely find yourself feeling bored. The only reason why I can't give 5 stars is because their parking is horrible. During the weekend, you end up parking across the street and honestly, taking your chances of getting run over by incoming car is better than actually parking in front of their bar. read more

Great fun. Good drink specials. Lots of regulars.Parking a bit tricky but nice place.

Love this place!! Always a fun, friendly crowd! Great time with the staff and the atmosphere is always upbeat. I just moved here and worried that I would not be able to find a place where I would feel like I belong and I think I will be able to lay those concerns to rest! read more

I love this place good owners great people friendly customers just an all around great environment with live music sports games in and outside just all out fun read more

My wife and I always have a good time. It's one of those places with cheap prices and a good vibe. The crowd is filled with a broad variety of age groups. The music selection also shows a lot of variety as well. The staff is friendly and efficient; I have never had to wait more than 20 seconds to be asked for my drink order even when they are busy. Hopefully we can get a sitter and go back soon. read more

This is a pretty chill neighborhood bar, has cheapish drinks, and a nice mix of people. It's fun to go during the week and play songs on their juke box. The parking situation is weird, but they've worked a way to use the lot across the street and there's a guy there watching cars to make sure they don't get messed with. Overall, I'd recommend if you're in the neighborhood, there's not another bar in the area for miles. read more

Awesome place to chill after work. Good music and fair drink prices... what more can you ask for?
