Drink Texas

Second trip and equally satisfying… Not too crowded and music was great… Noise level was good…
Lauren kicked ass!!! Girl knows her drinks and knows beer… Fast as hell., Awesome happy hour specials… Fantastic draft selection… This has become a must stop…
Doesn’t disappoint!!!

Drink specials from 2 – 9 isn’t that awesome?!
It was a laid back place to hang out and have a few drinks. The bartender was very helpful too.

This bar remind me of home great prices and nice people happy hour starts when they open at 2pm and goes until 9pm $ 2.50 well drinks not so bad considering we you are so close to the river walk and drinks on the river walk are out of control.

We arrived to San Antonio from Houston and found this little bar near our hotel.
We got to the bar around 12 and stayed there for about an hour. There was a dj playing decent music, there were tvs, there was a dart board and an area with sofas.
Overall I think this bar was ok. The bartender was very nice and made OK drinks. Nothing special about this bar but if you’re close by definitely worth the stop.

Nice bar came in about 230pm and just a few people were inside, about what I expected on a tuesday. Drinks were cold and cheap, plenty of TVs and the bartender was awesome. Great place just off the riverwalk.

Nice clean place. It was pretty dead for Saturday but the drinks weren’t good not cucumber martini or Texas punch

If you want a bar where you can just sit down and have a drink with friends, this is the bar to go to! They have amazing music and real nice bartenders, I will definitely come here again!

Drink has a 2 – 9 happy hour which would be enough to sell me on a bar, but there’s more. Friendly staff and a comfortable, but understated décor. Met the owner the last time I was in and he was very nice. Drink is really laid back and a good place to unwind after spending any time at all in the blazing Texas heat.

Okay bar. Nothing special. We like more character. Tried it for the first time during Friday happy hour. Not a large selection, no food and nothing to bring me back. I’m all about the experience and this didn’t give one.

Came here based on Unilocal reviews and loved it. The bartenders were quick and easy on the eyes. Drinks were priced well and the laid back atmosphere was a nice change of pace from the formal restaurants around the area.

Nice little duck off spot from all the Riverwalk craziness. $ 4 Jack Daniels for Happy Hour. Stick with the basic drinks and you’ll be ok.

Bartender: cuteness
Cucumber Martini: perfect
Atmosphere: more bar then lounge /​relax

Great local bar!!! The bartender Lauren was very friendly and the drinks were strong and tasty! Some nights they have a DJ AND LIVE MUSIC. If I lived here I would come here all the time!

Thank you Lauren for curing my hang-​over! Michelada hit my spot! I went during the day, the bar looked clean. A cool spot to chill for a couple of drinks.
Great service.

I think this is an okay venue. It was small but nice and clean and had a lot of sitting areas. There was a DJ that was way too loud for the venue and acted like he was playing for 500 people. I couldn’t talk to anyone without yelling at the top of my lungs and even then would have to yell 2 – 3 times to get heard. The DJ’s music was okay though. They had some really decent beer choices; but honestly if they have a DJ like this every night — I won’t be going back. Too small for my liking and too easy to overcrowd.

i think we didn’t ask the right questions for HH? I was lured into Drink by the reviews, and we felt lucky to get a table at 3:30pm on an NFL Sunday but it was pretty empty. The one bartender there came up to us right away, so props for that as well.
HOWEVER. I ordered a Moscow mule with well liquor and hubby ordered a draft beer. We giggled as we drank expecting the well advertised HH prices but were surprised with a $ 12 bill for the two drinks. Now. Should I have said something? Yes. However, we both didn’t feel great due to various reasons and just wanted to get back to our hotel. So, maybe we ordered off HH.
So fine, we ordered off HH, would I hang out here otherwise? Nope. It looks like someone’s basement. Dark, chipped paint on the walls, not inviting. Fine if you’re getting $ 2 drinks, but if you’re not. skip.

I think I came to Drink during a transitional phase for the bar. My brothers and I wanted to try a new spot downtown and Unilocal’d Drink. I asked the owner of the place we were at about it and he said it wasn’t too bad, given they changed their format from a snooty martini bar to a regular downtown spot. They had Texas craft beer on tap so I was down to check it out. So we get there and it was super dead for 1030PM on a Friday night. Never really a good sign. I do like that they have the beer taps right at the counter and have some pretty nice selections. Given this place isn’t a growler fill station or tap room. So I got a local San Antonio beer and paid $ 7.05/pint, which was about $ 2 more than I paid for the exact same beer 1 mile up the road. It’s down town, so I kind of get it. The bartender was nice but there was not extended interaction. She wasn’t friendly or mean. Beer was cold, in a clean glass, served with little head and the flavor reflected that the lines were clean. Nice! So they have high-​top tables, bar seats and 3 leather couches by the entrance. Honestly it’s a pretty comfortable setting for a dead night, because I was with 6 people and we took over a corner with the couches. Only reason we left was because they had a bf/​gf team singing acoustically. In my opinion they were a tad loud for the space. If this were a review for only them I’d say the guy should go solo. Just saying.
The décor is very random. You can definitely tell there’s signs of what it once was and what it’s trying to be. It has a semi-​posh, dive, pub feel to it. I think if they completely dropped the old style and embraced the new path it would be pretty cool. Having Pier 1 plant décor next to a lighted beer sign don’t really go together. The place doesn’t smell of smoke and seems clean. The guy’s bathroom was a dump though. There’s no top to the toilet bowl or hand soap. They did have toilet paper though and the door locked. I washed my hands in the female bathroom because it’s a single stall and the door was open.
Parking can suck for this location. Not Drink’s fault at all. Just giving a warning. There’s a lot right across the street but 2 hours of parking equals about $ 12-​$ 14.
Not sure I’d be back to this place unless the people I’m hanging with suggest it. Although it would be cool to see how it changes in the next 6mos-​1yr.

We found this place randomly and it was perfect for a Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks. It was a very chill place and the bartender was super nice and even gave us a couple of free shots.
We will definitely come back to this place!

We stumbled across this place due to being downtown and not knowing where to go (new to SA). We saw they had daily happy hour daily form 4−9pm with $ 4 crowns, $ 2.50 wells, and $ 2.50 beers!!! You cannot beat these deals!
The atmosphere was cozy its a small place with tables, couch area and 3 TV’s.
the bartenders were AWESOME, super fast and attentive. The drinks were strong and I can not stop signing the praises of this place.
Whenever I have folks come in from out of town this is definitely the place to take them.
Love this place!!!

This is gonna have to be my final bar review for San Antonio. I consumed a lot of alcohol in a 36 hour period and the longer I skip over reviewing this place, the more foggy my memories become. However, I do remember a few things… emphasis on a «few.»
The bar itself is legit. It’s not very big, but has high ceilings that make it feel bigger than it is. If anyone remembers Maker’s in downtown Oklahoma City from a coupla years ago… it kinda has that vibe to it, but without the cigars and dim lighting.
The bartender was an absolute peach. She knew her drinks and was quick to refill a glass and/​or ask if we needed anything else. The crowd was… ummm…different. Not in a bad way, just different. There were people like me in there… and then there were people like… maybe they were accountants? And I know some of them had to be secretaries. I could tell that someone with my appearance wasn’t someone that those people saw very often… let alone share a bar top with. It was actually quite funny.
One last thing I’d like to point out is that this place… for being in downtown San Antonio… has dirt cheap drinks. They have an insane happy hour that goes from 2 – 9, I believe. During that time, they’re tossin’ out beers for under $ 3 and well drinks that go for under $ 5. Once again, my mind was a little hazy my entire San Antonio trip, but I do remember that the drinks were some of the cheapest I’ve seen around.
Overall, this place is pretty sweet. If… I mean… when I’m in San Antonio again, I’ll probably have to have another drink here!
