Fast service, good drinks and nice bartenders. I heard someone confirm the beer was icy cold.

Cool bar! Very authentic. Staff friendly. Affordable prices and good options of drinks.

Marissa just started and she is amaziiiing. The owner Heather is so incredibly down to earth and deserves the kudos!!! Will definitely be visiting again. read more

Found this place by chance and it's off the beaten path. First of all. I knew nothing about this bar but apparently I know more than ever now. It's out of the way but trust me it's so worth it.

Your. Place. I read the other reviews and trust me. You won't regret it. It's perfect. Unwind. Sit back and relax. You will make this go to place. read more

The Base Line - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

What can I say this place is a refreshing local bar that reminds me of neighborhood bars you see on TV. The owner Heather is a crazy fun experienced bartender with a hell of a memory. If you sit at the bar for a while you will be surprised how many people she knows by name. Her staff is friendly and treats you as a friend of the family. Oh and the prices are Update: Come see Tessa, you can't miss her. She's a cute ginger. read more

The Base Line - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This local bar is located just outside Fort Sam Houston off Harry Wurzbach @ Burr Road. Most might consider this a "dive" bar, but I'd say a friendly, local spot. The beer is always cold and Shelby is the go-to bartender. She may not always remember your name, but she sure remembers your face. This is definitely a spot you will find regulars. There are games such as pool, trivia and darts and also a jukebox. There is a sign outside the bar that reads "best pizza in town" and while opinions may vary, this dang pizza is good! That is all the food they have, but just wait and the tamale lady will come in and these tamales are delicious! Did I mention it was on Bar Rescue? https://realitytvupdates.com/bar-rescue/base-line-recovery-room/ Sorry, no pics. I'll add next time I'm there read more

Great atmosphere great service and Shelby kicks ass Never have I been greeted by bar tender and felt so welcome and like one of the regulars this quick will be coming back for sure. read more

Don't bother. I've been ignored so many times by a night time bartender. And after being there a few times I have already been felt unwelcome by ex employees. I was told that the owner no longer even lives in state and is looking to sell. Up until today I was trying to get a friend from Houston to look into the place. Not going to happen now. Like I said if you are new to town don't bother. read more

We saw the episode of Bar Rescue that featured this bar and thought 'why not check it out'. It's your typical neighborhood dive bar. The bartender was friendly and the service was good. It's dark and not well lit inside and they took out the draft system that was put in during the show. They did keep the theme and decor, as well as the pizza oven. It's right across from Fort Sam Houston and their golf course. I guess we expected more after seeing the show. read more

The service was great, bar was clean, and a good mix of people all around! Shelby was a great bartender! We will be back.

You know, it is rare to find somewhere I want to revisit however, I have frequently returned to the Base Line these past few weeks. The reason being is your bartenders, in particular Shelby. Shelby is the epitome of excellence. She is professional, friendly, and a sincere desire to take care of her customers. I only hope when I start my business, I will be so fortunate to find a young professional as Shelby. Thanks for bringing Shelby into my space, she is the reason for my satisfaction and comfort at the Baseline. Kudos read more

Nice location, nice looking bar. A Bar Rescue Alumni, but.... Service seems to be great if you're a regular or a friend of the owner. If you're not either, don't expect a good experience. Disappointing for a nice venue read more

Horrible place...go somewhere else!!! Disgusting. Food was awful and no one was able to hear because of the horrible music,

The Recovery Room is a local neighborhood hang out not far from Ft. Sam on the edge of Terrell Hills next door to Aloha Kitchen. I've stopped in a couple of times and the staff has always been super friendly. If the owner, Heather, is around, she'll stop by to chat you up, welcome you to the bar, and buy you a drink... How cool is that? The draft beer is ice cold... so I'm a huge fan!!! Check in to Yelp or Facebook... and get a FREE drink! read more

The Base Line - Am drinking the best fresh margarita by the talented & beautiful Corie (my favorite bartender) her at Base Line. Come get one if you can. - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A promising bar that's been featured on Bar Rescue, it falls very short of the expectations. The DJ. Let's start here. All he plays is hip-hop from the early 2000s. He tries to mix and cross fade but he can't match the beat so every time he does, it's an absolute train wreck. The bar has a sign that says "best pizza in town" so I thought I'd order something to eat. The only have frozen Walmart pizza, and a countertop pizza oven. And all the had was a margarita pizza. So I ordered dominoes and had it delivered. I be honest, they don't need a DJ at all. They have a TouchTunes mounted on the wall and would do better running that on WiFi so customers could pay to play music, allowing the bar tender to control the volume. . It's a dimly lit bar, and he has the most obnoxious lights flashing, and two speakers on stands. The bar staff is extremely pleasant and very kind to the customers. The atmosphere is a mix of older/senior adult Hispanic couples, and obnoxiously young army personnel ( mostly officers here for BOLC at Ft Sam). People are extremely loud trying to talk over the music. It's very hard to communicate even across the bar at the pool tables. There is a variety of bar games: pool, shuffle board, darts, giant connect 4. read more

See all

Came in to see how the bar had improved from the show, I wasn't impressed. Immediate smell of mildew. I've never heard the word Fu** more times used in a sentence in five minutes from the... I assume bartenders/owner but wasn't sure. Talk about pool party orgies and going down on each other's necks, backs.. and other areas of the body. Then came some racist midget jokes and the beer was flat and only locals who go there constantly are checked on all the time. read more

There was dancing, a proposal, and raunchy FaceTiming during my first visit to The Base Line. Heather is great, all around solid person and completely sober. I will return. read more

Tried stopping in for last call at 1am with 6 people after work. Bartender and door guy looked out to see us parking in a big white work van and then went back inside. When we walked in the bartender told us she was closed up for the night. An entire hour before closing time! Mind you, this was the second bar we had tried to stop at. San Antonio doesn't seem to know how to party, I guess. read more

We went to The Base Line for the first time last night. Amanda, the bartender, was awesome. She's great about remembering your drink, quick with your order and very personable. We loved chatting with her. This a great neighborhood bar. We will go back!! read more

I love this bar! The recovery room girls are the best and the drinks are on fire. Have spent a shit ton of nights here and can't even begin to explain how much fun I have had. If you are looking for a chill bar with great people, Give this place a try. You will be treated right and will want to come back every weekend. Will be forever my favorite bar in San Antonio. Can't wait to see these lovely girls again! read more

The Base Line - Birthday night with a great group - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great dive bar!! Has only frozen pizza for food, but the drinks are a good price. Has pool tables and and TV's. Our bartender was fantastic!! read more

We have been coming to the Base Line for years now--long enough to see it's evolution from the "Recovery Room" dive bar into the amazing (still pleasantly dive-y) destination it has become today. There is a relatively new staff (Karen is amazing!!) that treads the nice border between friendly and respectfully detached. This is for sure our place, and we're looking forward to many happy years ending our nights here. read more

Super cute divey type bar. Everyone knows each other by name and are super welcoming. Great drinks and free food depending on the day. A definite bisit for a lazy Sunday Funday! read more

Super welcoming, great drinks and fun atmosphere. Karen was a great conversationalist and bartender 10/10 on a Monday or weekend outing.

This place is the best!! Heather has a heart of gold. Great prices and a laid back atmosphere. JJ's karaoke on saturday nights are the best in the area that I have found in San Antonio. read more

Best bar in San Antonio. It's always a plus when all the bartenders remember what you like to drink. Cheap drinks and great atmosphere. What more can you ask for? Great for military!! read more

Heather is a bad ass, great friendly spot to grab a cold drink. Digital Jukebox pretty much turns the place into a giant drunk sing along.

I went by on a Saturday night, it was my first time. The patrons were welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the military pride displayed and the karaoke, which was interesting entertainment. I'm willing to go back and try this place again. A good effort this far! read more

Best bar I have been to hands down, and that includes in California. Incredibly friendly atmosphere that made this place feel like I found some distant family members. Good pizza, good drinks, cheap drinks, pool, darts, jukebox. Heather and the staff are amazing! read more

Great place, amazing staff and owner. Great prices and always something to do. If you are in the neighborhood stop by you will not regret it read more

Heather....is the best bar owner in San Antonio. Cheap drinks, good pizza, and great bartenders, and heather is the bomb diggity when it comes to making shots! I love this bar!!!! :-) read more

I've been coming to this hidden gem for a while now, can't say enough good things about it. Bartenders are super friendly, they know their drinks and will remember your order and have it on the bar waiting for you before you even sit down. $0.50 for the pool tables, dart boards, and live music here and there. My only "complaint" about the place is that there's a weird smell outside every now and then on the back patio. Totally not the fault of the bar at all, it's the apt complex behind it. Always have so much fun when we're there. read more

I really like this place, you can enjoy it with your friends. You enjoy the karaoke, the bar tender two very nice.

I just recently found out about this place, and I'm supper stocked. Great atmosphere, cheap drinks , and the girls that work her are all really hot :).They have pool tables, dart boards and Karaoke every Saturday night. Oh and their millitary friendly. Definitely come here if you are in the area! read more

Awesome neighborhood bar! Love the vibe. Great pizza and drink specials. Thanks, Heather, for helping us recover from a long day!

Great bar. Friendly staff, great drink specials and a fun environment. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great bar....fantastic owner...friendly service. Never ending happy hour for veterans.

Maggie was super awesome! This chick that gave this place a bad review must be on drugs! Definitely coming here again
