    St. Patty's Day bartender lineup!
    Dwayne T.

    Always a great time! Super fun bartenders! It's where the locals go! Great prices and specials!

    Fun place. True story: brought a preppy white guy friend here once. Bikers parked outside. Rough looking crowd inside. Guy leans over and says to friend: you may think you'll get shot it here, but you really won't. Friendly fun-loving crowd. Cheap drinks, solid pour. Pool table, good loud music to get the vibe goin. Refreshing alternative to the Riverwalk tourist shot. This is a locals dive bar.

    Snacks and cigs. ..

    We discovered this place some time back while staying at the St. Anthony hotel right around the corner. This is a "River Rat" (as the service people affectionately refer to themselves) dive at it's best! You won't find a tourist at this joint. Drinks are STRONG and cheap, the people are great - we've made many friends during our visits here. I think it's the only place I can actually stand karaoke at. Vending machine with cigarette packs and snacks - both must haves for many drinkers. When someone orders a pizza it often becomes communal eats. The Texan II is the epitome of dive done right! My only question is, what happened to Texan I?

    Don't go if you're not a Boston fan. The owner will kick you out and man handle you. Poor service and terrible management.

    Live in Tulsa and have one of the best cocktail bars in the country out there (believe it or not),…read moreso I'm particular about cocktail spots nowadays. That said, this place is great. Had the Wild Duck which was the experience the bartender who came up with the drink said it would be. Can tell they were true mixologist that are serious about their craft. Was kind of busy and loud but it was Friday night so what else would you expect. Definitely coming back.

    Take me to the underground to a hidden place next to the river walk!…read more It's a speakeasy so you shouldn't notice it right away but if your looking for it go to the back parking lot of where the address takes you close to the river walk look at the building that's right next to the parking lot a bit away from the road then look below and you'll see some tables and a door go down the stairs to get inside! They had a bunch of different cocktails inside lots of unique options and some not so much but where it was all about was the specials one in particular the Dunkle Sandwich as it tasted like Peanut butter and jelly like it was soo good up there with one of the best shots I've ever had soo flavorful and just good like this was by far my favorite thing I drank this night! Our other drinks were yummy too don't get me wrong as each of them has key components that made them taste amazing while I did forget the names just know that each one of them was yummy! On this particular night they had a mentalist wondering around doing magic he was fun and added to our evening here so that was a nice touch! Our bartender was awesome and quick to get us our drinks and I must say everything was mixed very well! Overall awesome spot for date night we both enjoyed our time here and hopefully we get to make it here again at some point because you can't go wrong with a chill speakeasy!

    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

    I've been here a couple of times and have always had a great time. The server/waitress was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable on what they offered. They were happy to answer my questions and I was never made to feel rushed. The bar itself has an awesome vibe. It's divey but offer fancy drinks. The bar has a stage (we've seen FEA perform there) and they have ample seating (tables, couches, stools, etc). I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!

Anyhow, we had a large group of friends during Halloween weekend and after our dinner on the River, a friend said, "Hey, lets all go to Be Kind & Rewind!" We said, "Um, okay!" We were already in costume so that was great. The place is pretty big and you pretty much dance everywhere. There are several bars. It's easy to get overlooked by the bartendar so you have to be prepared to stand your ground and not get bumped to the side (with the customers and not the staff). The drinks were good (not the greatest) but I loved the syringe shots. Those were fun. It was fun trying to walk around the whole place when it was packed. Very difficult but entertaining. Ladies, don't wait last minute to use the restroom. There was always a line! Overall, a lot of fun! .. ...
