Drea makes the best early bird specials, just ask her about the early bird special drink she makes for Dame.

I came out to meet up with my son and his wife and Ashley was upbeat, high energy and just total fun. I will definitely be back...

I have been here several times and I guess I've never reviewed this "hole in the wall" dive bar. I live in the bougie La Cantera area, and while I love where I live, my taste in bars is very "dive bar". I think I found Smitty's while driving around the medical center and decided to try it out one day. I've been in love since day one. Don't take my 5 stars as in this is a VIP place. Instead, take my 5 stars as this is a locally owned, locally frequented, and a bar you're going to make local friends at. The bartenders know our drink order even when we haven't been in for weeks. Overall, this is a great place to chill at on the weekends and the weekdays! read more

Smitty's Pub - a bar with people watching a football game - Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is the worst bar I've ever been to. If you like bars that smell like dirty diapers, then this place is for you. If you like being ignored by the bartenders, you'll love this place. If you like drunk, obnoxious regulars, then come on down. But for me, I will stay clear of this place. read more

We call this place by another name that you can probably guess. And for good reason: Last time we were here, the grumpy bartender had problems getting our tab right and closing us out, after we had waited a while to even get his attention. If you're going to hire cranky bar staff, you don't really care about your place. There are plenty of young, thirsty bartenders jockeying for positions everywhere. Besides that, there's nothing to differentiate this dive: It's tucked in a shady are on Gardendale. There's lots of smoke, darts and beer by the pitcher. Meh. read more

Dive bars have a soft spot in my heart and by the number of regulars at last night's 19th anniversary party Smitty's Pub is in the hearts of others as well. Offering billiards, darts and the like. Lots of TV's showing the latest sporting events. Smitty's is gonna be added to the rotation of affordable HH locations. The patio is teeny but that's expected for a bar in a strip club. The bathroom was clean, the drinks strong and the clientele....eccentric and ecclectic. My two favorite kinds of people! Medical Center peeps, I recommend this place for a quick after work boozey adventure. read more

I knew I would like this bar the moment I walked in. The vintage paintings of George Bush Sr and Robert Downey Jr were the first things that caught my eye. They were finger paintings but artfully done. The decor was on point. Chairs by Copenhagen, lighting by Tiffany's, I was hit by a wave of emotion and memories of the Louvre in Paris. I could almost smell the freshly baked bread which later turned out to be popcorn to my surprise. At one point a local patron by the name of Cuz kindly offered to sell me a used car radio. I was tantalized yet rejected his offer because my vehicle was already properly equipped. I drank a few more delicious beverages and headed out in search of some grub. Sadly my window was broken and my radio was missing and looked similar to the one Cuz had offered me but I can't be sure. Drinks were good though. read more

Great drink specials and fun safe atmosphere. I love the location as its mins away from the house.

The worst bar i have ever been to! The service was terrible! The bartender serves as if he is a 5 year old boy! The female bar back is of no use! This place is trash , if you live in the area ok i understand you have no choice.. BUT you could go to 4th quarter or bakers street or Irish pub or I10 ice house! but other than that .....save yourself the disappointment! SMDH read more

This little dive bar is kinda awesome. Stopped in here one night for a happy hour after work. It happened to be Fat Tuesday and they had a special running, $3 for Hurricanes. Yeah, $3.00, and they were pretty darn good too. The bar has a beach(ish) type theme to it. Surfboards, a giant 3D Capt Morgan, Pictures of Jimmy Buffet etc... It wasn't very busy, maybe 3 or 4 others in there. I guess it gets busier later in the day. Overall it was a fun little dive. I will go back when I am in the area. read more

Smittys become the last stop on our Sunday-funday debauchery. It has a dive bar feel as you would expect but at the same time it didn't. It's kinda weird. The bartender was a little slow but to her credit it was pretty busy for a Sunday night. The bar was in a dicey neighborhood but what else would you expect from a dive bar. Overall, it was a fun night there or maybe by this point I was feelin good haha. read more

Smitty's Pub - a tray of food on a counter - Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I can't write a worse review. This bar is trash even on dive standards. They used to have some redeeming value with the dealers who frequented but after pushing them out there is literally no reason to go there. Any other dive bar is an improvement. read more

Stopped in here today right at 4pm with my girlfriend on our way back from visiting a relative. Got a Budweiser @ $2.00 so not bad on the beer prices. I'm sure it was happy hour but still couldn't have been much more afterwards. Bartender was exceptionally friendly and quick. There was about 12 patrons in the bar, some seemed to be regulars and some seemed to just be stopping in after work for a drink. 2 pool tables, 4 dart boards, jukebox and bar top electronic games for entertainment. Booth style seating, seats at the bar, hi-tables, as well as a fenced in area under the eaves with a couple of picnic tables for the smokers which I thought was pretty cool. The bar has a "Beachy" theme to it, hell a cat even walked into the bar and chilled out beneath a hi-top table. You can't get much more bar than this. Overall, this is going to be my new go-to bar to play pool/darts and drink some decently priced drinks. read more

This is a pretty standard little dive. It was smoked filled and poorly lit. It is well hidden in a shady neighborhood so you better make sure you lock your car. They had a giant cooler filled with craw fish but I don't know who in their right mind would eat it. I guess it would be a great place if it were within stumbling distance from your house. read more

The first thing to notice when you walk in is the hard smell of cat piss. Stayed for a few drinks thought maybe it would go away it didn't. Got a headache just sitting at the bar from the smell. Friendly environment but I could not get over the smell. read more

So tonight was the second visit to "smitty's pub"..... can't say it was better than the first visit unfortunately... I am an S.A. native-- and I've never seen as big of a joke as this bar... They didn't even know what was in a "White Russian".... The dude apparently doesn't abide by this shitty bar.... On my way out some dude tried to start a fight with me, and slapped me. . . . My mother has slapped me, my grandmother has slapped me. . . . I've never been "slapped" before as a demonstration of toughness. . . The 'regulars' (lightweights with/in puking distance) tried to 'warn me'. . . of Nothing... If you want to go to a shittty dive bar with dirty taps and lame specials... go here! read more

This awesome bartender named Jackie was great. She shook her ass and sang dirty songs, she served a mean drink and an ever better bowl of popcorn. Oh btw, did I talk about the popcorn? Two words.... life changing. Made fresh daily with fresh butter churned out back. You here need to stop by this place, if for anything the popcorn alone. read more

Great little hole in the wall. All you want in a dive bar. Square bar, juke box, pool tables, great atmosphere. If you like good dive bars, this is the place for you. And if you go during happy hour on Tuesday (when I went), the bartender is this hot, beautiful, sexy, witty woman named Maryel (spell?). She alone is worth a visit. read more

Had one of my best nights ever here ! magical place , great drinks and pool table , amazing people !

well, it was just okay. nothing spectacular but it wasn't a disappointment either. I met with a blind date here last week. We were the only two people there for a great majority of the time. There was some rowdy people there at first but they left. It was nice to be able to hear each other's conversation. The bartender was nice and apologized for being dead. There was no need for that. All in all, not too bad of a place if your just looking for a casual place to meet a friend and grab a beer or two. read more
