Parking is limited but what else is new in STown so plan accordingly. The inside has a few booths and bar tops to post up at after you order your drinks at the bar. No food is offered but they do have a live DJ and last night DJ NatVillian had it going on playing 90s R&B/Hip-Hop classics. The crowd was of all ages and the vibe was chill....no drama. 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.

You tell them the spirit you're feeling and the vibe or flavors you're in the mood for, and they craft a cocktail from scratch just for you. Every drink feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. The bartenders actually listen, ask the right questions, and then deliver something that somehow hits perfectly every time. It's not just a cocktail, it's an experience. If you're tired of the same old menu drinks and want something creative, personalized, and next level, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough.

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

Yay! After seeing Pink Shark on social media for a minute I finally made it there to check it out!…read more It was on a Tuesday after a work event downtown. Perfect day/time for me, able to enjoy the place without all the crowd. The atmosphere is good. The decor is fun, the drinks are ! We were there during happy hour. The bartender, introduced himself, Omar, was friendly and attentive. I had the martini flight. The BEST one was the cucumber one. SOOOOO GOOOD! I'd go back just for that!! The back room was closed that day. More of a reason to go back to check it out! Heading out we were a few buildings down and Omar called out to catch us to let us know that we forgot the credit card! On top of being a good bartender, we is also a kind one too!! This is a fun place to check out.

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.
