The whiskey and bourbon selection is incredible, and the space itself is beautiful. It's tucked away just enough to feel like a hidden gem, but what impressed me most wasn't the drinks. It was the service. When I walked in, one of the staff members was meticulously polishing cocktail glasses, spending several minutes making sure every glass was spotless. That level of attention to detail immediately stood out. The bartender crafted our cocktails with the same level of care. A little later, I asked for a glass of water, not realizing they had a self-serve water station. Instead of simply pointing me toward it, the bartender grabbed a glass, walked over, filled it with water, and brought it back to me. He could have easily told me where the water station was, but instead, he chose to take care of it himself. It was a small gesture, but it said everything about the level of hospitality here. Between the incredible whiskey and bourbon selection, expertly crafted cocktails, beautiful atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond, this is a spot I'll definitely be coming back to.

I heard this was a good spot for black people so I came to check it out. Inside was packed, but…read moreit's so small it packs out pretty easily. The bar was damn near impossible to get to. 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.

The bartenders and staff were friendly and they made good drinks. Overall, I really enjoyed my first time here and look forward to coming back.

Pink Shark has been on my radar since it opened a couple years ago, and I'll admit I came in with…read moresome hesitation. I'm always drawn to cocktail bars with a strong theme, and places like this usually live or die by how well they commit to the experience. Right away, the space is visually striking. The pink-forward aesthetic isn't totally my lane, but I can appreciate how fresh and easy on the eyes it feels. That said, it leans more high-energy lounge than intimate cocktail bar. For me, it's missing a bit of that dim, red-lit, date-night allure that makes a true cocktail spot feel seductive and immersive. At times, it feels closer to a club atmosphere than a tucked-away lounge. What really pulled me in, though, was the speakeasy concept and this is where Pink Shark starts to shine. The hidden entrance in the back delivers exactly the kind of exclusivity I was hoping for. Inside, the vibe shifts: loungy, modern, and just the right amount of sexy. The minimalist design works, and the lighting and décor pop without feeling overdone. Music can make or break a place like this, and on Saturday (4/25), the DJ nailed it. A smooth mix of EDM with reworked classics kept the energy up without overwhelming the space. Paired with a solid sound system, it elevated the entire experience. On the drinks side, there's a bit of a split. The signature cocktail menu is solid and clearly the focus, but for a speakeasy-style bar, the overall selection feels a little limited. I did appreciate seeing El Tesoro Reposado and Blanco on hand; always a good sign. I went with an Old Fashioned using the reposado, and my date had a Paloma with the blanco (based on a prep recommendation). Both were well-executed, and the bartender was accommodating and easygoing, which goes a long way. Service was smooth and quick, and we lucked out with seats at the bar at least for a while. Fair warning: around 11pm, they clear out the bar seating as the crowd builds. It shifts the energy again toward more of a standing-room, nightlife feel, but if you can snag one of the couches, you're in a good spot. Overall, Pink Shark has a lot going for it and even more potential. The speakeasy element is easily its strongest feature, and I'd love to see that identity pushed further especially with a deeper, more classic-leaning cocktail list (think Black Manhattan or a proper Boulevardier). There's something really good here it just hasn't fully settled into its lane yet. I'll definitely be returning soon. Texas Mozzer

I was in San Antonio for a conference and stayed at a hotel close to Lowcountry. It was fabulous…read more This is a dive bar in a 100+ year old house, which gives it a lot of character and a unique feel. The drinks are great and the prices are even better. It is near the River Walk but not on it. I found Lowcountry when searching for bars in San Antonio that sold pickled eggs. FYI, they don't anymore. I stuck up a conversion with Payton the bartender and they have not sold them for some time. Payton was super nice. You can get a bourbon and mini Miller High Life for $6. If you are looking for a laid-back spot with excellent value, Lowcountry is it.
