The ambience is clean, spread out, and slightly dimmed towards the back, but it gives a nice welcoming vibe. They have a really good hip-hop and R&B playlist, which gives a fun experience. The service is excellent, everyone beginning to end was super nice and helpful. Our server did a great job at explaining the menu and what to expect. We got the original fried chicken, which is basically a chicken cut up into pieces so you get a little bit of everything of a whole chicken. This recipe is still crispy, we got the honey soy sauce on the side, and that sauce is amazing! We ended up ordering more. We also got the crispy wings, those are double fried and definitely have lots of crisp! Every piece was hot and fresh, very juicy and a perfect seasoning. We also ordered some fries that had a powdered cheese on them and the guy did let us know it was a sweet cheese, but I was definitely not expecting that much sweet. Honestly they were not my favorite, it's very strange to have a sweet powdered cheese on french fries. I was not a fan, but my husband liked them. And lastly, is the slaw and the pickled radish that they bring out, I liked those very much and they gave a perfect balance and touch of acid against the wings and the richness of the sauce. The location isn't something you immediately see off the road, it's right in the corner of a strip mall off of De Zavala. Definitely worth the trip, these wings and this chicken were 10 out of 10!

But unlike our ancestors who foraged for wild spices, gathered firewood, and waited patiently for the seasons to bring dinner into view, we have the convenience of modern dining.

Too often, though, the places we turn to fall short of our expectations.

One of the employees informed us we could not take them into the room due to "possible spills on the wood floors". When asking for clarification why we couldn't bring cups or even tumblers when we're already going to be buying alcohol etc., and those cups would also be "open" and without a cap, they totally shifted gears and just told us they wanted us to pay for water, as if the $150+ for the room was not enough. Another higher employee came in very rudely lecturing us about people "taking advantage" of their "generous hospitality". The whole interaction was so needlessly intense and awkward we would have left on the spot if we hadn't already put our card down. The room itself - karaoke setup is really just YouTube with a sound system. There was a horrible lag so we spent about 2 minutes between songs just trying to get things working. And to top it all off, they added a 20% gratuity to everyone's individual tab on top of a 20% gratuity for the room. They don't even provide any service to the room! we each individually had to go to the bar and take time out of the room to order food and drinks. None of this these policies about the water or gratuity was mentioned up front, despite questions we asked in advance. Do not waste your money or time at this nickle and dime establishment. You have YouTube at home. Just buy a nice mic and speaker.

It's the perfect place for a girls' night, a cute date, or just grabbing something fun and different.

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

Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio
