This place was an unexpected surprise. I had never been here before but I'm glad my friends suggested it. The drink prices are great, the atmosphere is cool & the crowd is chill. There was a DJ playing a great variety of music. There's plenty of seating at tables & around a large bar. There's even upstairs seating. This is an all around great place but what makes this bar 5 stars isn't the drinks or the atmosphere, the bartenders make this place 5 stars!!! Our bartender was Jess (Jessica) & she was a firecracker! (In the best way!) She was friendly, had the best personality & made us laugh so hard! One might say she was "charismatic"! A lot of bartenders ask you what you want, make your drink, take your credit card, hand you your bill & walk away. I call this lazy service! Not here! Jess is the kind of bartender that you want to be friends with! She KNOWS how to mix a great drink & she actually gives you service w a smile... while making you laugh! If you can walk away from her not loving your drink & not wanting to go back to her for your next drink & some laughs.... Trust me, It's YOU... not her. Ally was working the bar also. This duo made the perfect bartending team on a Friday night. Ally was awesome! You can't go wrong at this bar on a Friday night as long as these ladies are mixing up your drinks! read more

This bar is lit and all the bartenders are super sweet and I really like the bartender Alyssa and the marine guy Chris. Go on a Saturday night after 9:30 PM where you can play naughty bingo. It's so much fun. The crowd is very fun to hang out with and the music is really good. The DJ plays excellent music. read more

Have been here before and it was laid back. Tonight was different. Two very drunk guys at the bar kept looking over at our table and yelling loudly, slurring vague gay threats and even going as far as to approaching one of our group in the men's restroom. Bartender knew exactly what was going on, didn't stop it nor did she stop serving them alcohol. A bartender keeps their house in order. I blame both parties for what transpired. We felt discriminated against, highly uncomfortable and angry that this establishment would condone this behavior. Three Legged Monkey is not a place for people of color or who are LGBT. You've been warned. read more

Just want you want in a good dive bar, jukebox, a pool table, dart board, good drink specials and good people

This bar is fine, it's a local bar that is pretty dark inside but overall a chill place to go and grab a few beers.

I've been here a couple of times and enjoy the low-key atmosphere. Last time it was a Saturday night and had a great group around the bar to hang out to some killer music. After coming from a bar that played all country music, it was nice to hear good tunes as we had our combos (Tellamore DEW and Yuengling on tap). Bartender was nice and kept everyone happy. This is a great hole-in-the-wall place, but be careful of the Castle Hills cops as you leave. read more

This is my favorite bar in the San Antonio area. Mostly bc the bartender Jess is so charismatic and personable. She's definitely top tier bartender. In case management reads this- she's awesome and the sole reason I come to The Three Legged Monkey!! read more

Have been to three legged Monkey since before Covid and tonight was a great time T a bar that we have bento been to since pre covid. Allie was a great bartender and really made our night on this great celebration for our country! read more

The Three Legged Monkey - Allie, Great Bartender! - Pubs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great bar if you're a regular. But the bartender doesn't like newbies. Too bad, because I stated to like it until we got ignored constantly. Too many places around to deal with ignorance. Would not recommend. read more

I have gotten over charged twice on a Friday night, and Saturday night. Bartenders tend to drink while on the job. Informed the manager of the issue claimed she would take care of it ‍ read more

Love this place! Trivia is always a blast and one day we will win! Good service Good patrons Good booze read more

Loved this bar! Very relaxed with games and amazing shots!! This place feels like a home! You go and meet random people and mingle :) read more

I love this place!!!!!!! Awesome specials & amazing bartenders!!! A few games and a pool table!

We love the Monkey!!! Nancy, Amy and Charlie are fantastic! It's your Neighborhood Bar, nothing fancy, but good friends, drinks and good times! read more

The Monkey is a quintessential neighborhood bar with an eclectic crowd and inexpensive drinks. On a Saturday afternoon, you're likely to find a convivial crowd watching sports or listening to oldies on the well stocked jukebox. It's not fancy, but it's homey. T. M. read more

What can I say...great neighborhood hangout! Lovely bar staff and great drinks. Bathrooms are clean. Trivia is fun! And all the hot dudes.

This is the best neighborhood dive bar in San Antonio. Tuesday night live trivia is the best with Nancy behind the bar.

Wow. I wouldn't go as far as saying that this place is dirty. It's a clean bar it's just a hole in the wall. I actually like this place. I don't really go there unless one of my friends wants to but it don't go kicking and screaming. The drinks are pretty cheap. I've never had a problem getting a beer unless we go on a busy night. The bartenders can be a little rude but that's only on those busy nights which I can understand. There's a seating area upstairs above the bar that I like because it gets you a little further away from the music which is controlled by either the jukebox or the bartenders both of which can have some poor choice. There's a pool table and a couple of dart boards in the back of the bar as well. The bar is small but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's anything that the past two reviews have said. read more

Strip mall dive? Yes. Dirty dump? No. This is a great hangout bar. They've got darts, pool, big buck hunter, and foosball...what more could you ask for? Drinks! We got heavy-handed jack and cokes all night for $3.50 and the shot board above the bar had hundreds of crazy shots to help make the night all the more fun. You might not meet any beauty queens here, but I would definitely recommend it for a good night with friends. read more

This bar has about the worst service of any bar I've ever been to and I've been to hundreds around this country. It took 15 minutes to get a drink during the day with a minuscule amount of patrons and two bartenders working, maybe if they did less shots and stopped chatting with customers for 5 minutes at a time they would notice when others are wanting drinks! Sorry I was cutting into your social time ! My friends and I will take our money else where from here on ! Yeah my friends waited just as long for the second drink then we quickly left after leaving a complaint with the bartenders who oddly where surprised that we waited 15 minutes , seriously! read more

I visited this place during the only loss of Tom Brady for this season to Seattle Seahawks (This is not the reason for 3 stars). I like to munch on something while having beer and bars that don't have food just are like liquor stores to me where you can taste your product. They had a den like seating upstairs which was cool. They could invest in more TV's. DJ's Dugout in Omaha is my benchmark! read more

Nice little hole in the wall place. Beer price ok tap is limitless. Bar tender very nice. Seems like a place with their regulars. A little out of my way BUT if in the area I would stop by again. Only neg and they have no control over it is road!!they are off a V section so it's tricky getting to them and leaving the area.. very busy intersection. read more

Definitely a dive. Great place to watch the Pats, you'll be among fans! Game days the bartender makes snacks to enjoy while drinking, and there are always specials. It can get crazy busy but if you're willing to be patient and can stand being around Brady fans then this place is for you. read more

I love coming to this bar ! Great bartenders and great company not to mention Trivia on Tuesdays! Nancy is the best Definitely recommend it! read more

Ted is the greatest trivia host and Nancy is the greatest bartender in the history of ever

Gave 3 stars for drink portions, potency, and service... Atmosphere is not rated since I didn't go there for the ambiance, I went to get drunk and have a good time. That was accomplished with spending around $45 for three women on a friday night... This was cheap and we have a food time singing old songs that the DJ played an drinking stiff drinks. Don't judge by the hole in the wall appearance, the bar was what that type of bar should be about... Drinking! read more

Ok havent been here in a long time i had fun but now i have heard from 3 people that they got crabs there and they dobt even know one another so looks like this place coils gouge you crabs. Thday said i had a blast and would happily go back ill jyst make sure to shave down south 1st read more

We love the Monkey! Nancy is the best every Tuesday night for Trivia night! Neighborhood bar, great laid back peeps and drinks g friendly!

Best trivia in town, great atmosphere! Nancy always takes care of you while you are trying to guess the roght answer!

Good times, Pats happy, havent been here in years, but I'm diggin it. Cannot complain about prices or service! Again...good times lol

Gotta love the Monkey. Its nothing fancy but what do you expect from a smaller local bar? Relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices? You'll find that here read more

Still the best place for late trivia and good drinks. Nancy is the best. Cheap prices

Great hole in the wall place! Doesn't get too packed and you can still hear other people talk.

Great little dive bar. The nighttime bartenders are pretty awesome and are quite friendly. The drink prices are reasonable and since it's near another more popular bar, it's typically not too crowded. read more

If you live or work in this neighborhood and you are looking for a dive bar, this is the place for you. It's dark but not too seedy and the drinks are reasonably priced. It's pretty spacious inside and there is a little patio out back for the smokers. Stop by if you're thirsty and in the neighborhood. read more

Nice place to have a few drinks. My husband & I went there a few weeks ago and enjoyed the music and the drink specials. No one bothered us and we did not feel out of place. Recommend for a local hangout. They were also showing the football game & that was a plus for my husband. read more

I'm in love with Nancy the bartendress. okay, there i said it. as for the bar... cozy and attractive interior. very well maintained and drink specials daily. even if you live far, this place is definetly worth the drive. read more

Cool neighborhood bar!! Good prices, delicious libations, and the worlds tallest bartender...what more could you ask for!? Keep it real at the Monkey. read more

Was overcharged by two stupid female bartenders. They rolled their eyes and gave attitude after being confronted about being overcharged ( a clear sign of intent and guilt.) The well drinks are basically soda with a splash of liquor. Do not go to this bar, they try to rip you off because they know their drinks and service are shitty. It takes more than a tank-top to please me idiot. read more

My husband I and were invited by some friends for some drinks here. As we walked in I found this place to be so inviting. I felt a good vibe. I was thinking "wow our new hangout spot". That all change when we met the bartender. She was caddy, rude, and not a people person at all. The restroom did not have toilet paper and i was totally ignored when I requested some. We will never be go back or recommend this place to anyone. I wish I could give them zero stars but unfortunately I have to give the one. read more
