The ambiance is always welcoming and the drink prices are always on point. Bartenders are friendly and accommodating. The club has shows, events, and specials that keep clientele coming back and also has a laid back vibe supplied by regulars who enjoy the friendly environs. Many SA gay venues are either too stuffy, skanky, or downright scary but Sparky's Pub works to welcome our weird and diverse groups to be a safe space for all.

The clientele varies, with anything between 21 years to retirement age. Great and affordable place for queer (and non-queer) people to meet and have drinks, enjoy music and have a good time.

In the back stage area, you will find thrash metal bands playing for kids hurling themselves into each other. Some of it looks painful and is actually quite interesting to watch. The bar to the extreme right as you walk in is still a Tejano gay bar. It's just so weird that two diverse cultures are co-existing under one roof. I'm not saying it's good or bad. We'll see.
