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!

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!!

Allie, Great Bartender!

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!

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

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.

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.

They reused my beer glass, but the employees definitely wash their hands and at the end of the day, isn't that the most important?

I just say that from the standpoint of obviously they're prioritizing the bar aspect versus the food aspect. That being said on Thursdays or I think it was $17 you can get a 12 ounce ribeye and then I paid a dollar more to swap the potato for a salad and it was all great. Obviously I am not going to compare the $17 ribeye to a true steakhouse but for a dad's night meet up at a bar, I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know how often I would be back just because most of the time we go out to eat we have my son with us and he's under 21 but this place is right outside our neighborhood so I could definitely see myself hanging out with neighbors and friends more often there and then potentially getting steak again trying their wings, etc. Also I want to highlight that our server she was fantastic. I have heard from other people in a group that on nights where it's busy you don't get table service and have to go to the bar which again makes sense from the concept of. It's a bar first and a second

Our server was very kind but service was on the slower end. We came in during our lunch break. We arrived around 1:15PM on a Friday, and left around 2:45PM. The server mentioned that the restaurant is a scratch kitchen, so we could add or take away as much as we wanted from the menu. They were able to honor my dairy-free dietary preferences! I ordered from the Culinaria Lunch Menu (Culinaria Salad, Stir Fried Noodle Bowl--added shrimp, and Lemon Sorbet) All pretty tasty, the salad was a little on the drier side and the shrimp was overcooked. I also wanted a drink that wasn't just water but no alcohol, the server suggested a Strawberry Virgin Mojito. It was refreshing! The restaurant looks like a nice place to catch the games and the booths were comfy! I'd love to check this place out again and hope that the service is a little quicker!

Houston was the worst but that's a different story. The bartender and patrons were super friendly. In fact, I asked an elderly man next to me what he was drinking and he pulled out a recipe on a napkin from his pocket and invited me to take a picture of it for the future. Obvi, I did because anyone who carries a recipe he made up and included a little happy face at the bottom of the napkin is awesome. As soon as we walked in they asked us what games we wanted to watch. Whaaaat?! That's amazing. The place feels a little bit like a den...an old den but a comfy one. They don't have any food, per se, but they did have a crock pot with beans and Fritos to make a Frito pie. This is why they didn't get 5 stars. I'm a grazer...I'll order wings...then fries...then feel bad so I'll get a salad...then more fries. We left when we got super hungry and went to the next place...that didn't have any food either. Finding a football watching home is hard. On another note, we were pulled over by Castle Hills police as soon as we left. Apparently, it's a known fact that the speed limit is 35 (no postings in sight). We only got a warning and he was a nice officer so I'm passing on the warning - drive very slowly.

This place smells like vomit most of the time and it's out dated. Bar tenders are cocky.read more

I got what I originally thought was a pretty advanced virtual operator. We went through all of the paces about my reservation. Then when I said it was a party of 10, it cut me off and said that the limit was eight and that I needed to call the restaurant directly to make my reservation. It gave me a number to call, which just so happened to be the actual number I was already connected to and hung up on me. I called the number again. This time I told it that I wanted to speak with a human being. It checked to see if anyone was available, apologized, and told me to call back later before asking if I needed anything else. I said I was trying to speak with someone about a reservation for 10 people. It told me it could help me with the reservation and went through the whole process again. Then it said it would check for availability. It told me there was availability, but that it would need to be confirmed with someone. Once again, no one was available. I told it I was getting really frustrated. It suggested that I book a table for eight and call back later to adjust it. I did that. I called again on Sunday and got the same virtual run around. Finally, after three tries, I was given an email address. I sent an email to someone named Adam at 1:30 pm, but never got a response. On Monday, not having heard back, I called again. I got the same run around. This time the virtual operator actually told me that I should just drive over to the restaurant to talk to the manager about my reservation since the number is busy. I called one last time at 1:41 PM on Monday. This time, the virtual assistant inexplicably asked me if I wanted to leave a message! Before, when I said I wanted to leave a message, it told me that it was not possible. I left a message, but never did hear back. When I was headed to bed late Monday night, I decided to look at the menu again. But, because the restaurant was already closed, it wouldn't even let me see the offerings. I decided at that very moment that I had had enough of Embers. I planned to call every one of my people and tell them our luncheon was canceled. This morning, I had cooled off a bit and decided to just show up and hope for the best. Now, I'll actually review the restaurant. When I walked in and joined three of my party who had already arrived, a young man asked me how many people were in my party before I could even mention my reservation. He smiled and said no problem, walked across the dining room, and put some tables together for our group. Then he led us to our chairs and morphed into our server for the rest of our visit. His name was Justin, and he alone redeemed the restaurant in my eyes. He was a terrific server- polite, attentive, patient, and very helpful. When we ordered, only two of us chose the same thing. We got the grilled meatloaf. Meatloaf is my favorite food, and this did not disappoint. It was crispy from grilling, very lightly glazed in BBQ sauce, nice and juicy, and packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes turned out to be the loaded kind, and were a perfect side. The green beans were cooked perfectly, but I wished they had a little bacon in them. Everyone enjoyed their food. I didn't hear one negative comment from them. I thought everything I actually could see from my vantage point looked amazing. I definitely have to try the ribs the next time I go. And trust me... Thanks to Justin's excellent service and the wonderful food, I will forget about the phone issue. But, I am deducting one star because of it. I hope Adam, whoever he turns out to be, reads this and realizes that the restaurant's phone system needs some tweaking. Not everyone would be as forgiving as I almost wasn't!

An established foot print cemented in San Antonio's growth in the North Side when LA Cantera & The…read moreRim had just broken ground. This bar has the "traditional - let's have a beer" vibe to it but in a very hip & comeraderie way. There's no worries or concerns for incidents because the patrons, both older & younger - are there to enjoy some spirits, play some pool, darts or share war stories in the patio while chewing on a stogie. The service is excellent (I don't know how they do it with one tender, sometimes, but they sure as hell do it)! As a matter of fact, the night I went on a Thur. There must have been over 30 patrons but the tender Andrea took care of every customer with a smile on her a face and cool nerves. I can say, as a well traveled man from Europe to S. America, I was very impressed and marveled at her speed & attention-to-detail. The layout is spacious enough to recognize the dinning area, the pool & dart games, the beautiful but bold wrap-around bar in mahogany that looks like it came from Europe during King Louis the VIII's Reign, simply bad ass. Located on the North Side (Shavano Park) at the cross streets of Hurbner & Bitters Rd. It is easy ti get to, ample parking and with an entrance that looks like you are going into a "back stage" visit with Jim Morrison from The Doors. I highly recommend this bar to anyone visiting and 210 residents that just have not made it there yet!
