The Hangar Tavern

Original review-​Nice place for an after work beer. Great place to get out of the heat. The music not so great.
Update-​initially gave place 4 stars, then I went back. Some dude started a fire in the bathroom. The only music they were playing was from Drake not really my seen. Worst part was they added to my tip on credit card receipt. Not much but it adds up and it is unethical.

We came here for a night cap on a Friday and had no idea we would have so much fun by doing so. The bar staff is welcoming and friendly from the manager with the beard and glasses to bar tenders. Not to mention the Dj was talented and captured the mood of the night with a fantastic mix. Definitely a hidden gem that beckons patronage effortlessly.

The place on a Friday night is Dead! Does not serve Budweiser beer, only Butt Wipe and it is less than optimum temperature. Wife got a Grey Goose and tonic? And tastes like ass! Her words, not mine. Close the doors the party is over!

Came here for Trivia Night and it was awful. Bad music, bad food, just overall yucky. I looked like a solid 2 and still got hit on though! Bahzinga. Anyhow, this bar seems to be improving over time, but please, PLEASE, have a better trivia night and better music. Thanks guys!

This place is a fluctuating concept. Had aptitude at first with a decent selection of alcohol overall. However, it seems it is suffering as of late. Heavy turnover of different beverages make it an extraordinarily hard place to count on consistency. Some invalids might think it is almost that arbitrariness that is a concept… it is not!
The music/​DJ that they employ is horrendous. My taste in music is eclectic so maybe I am judgmental. However, when a DJ plays a whole album of Dr. Dre to appease some local, he errs on the side of better common sense.
Now, the sore spot at this place is the obvious complacency of the staff. The manager, a gentleman, is the only one that is attentive at all. Probably because he is vested somehow. The women bartenders are both whimsical and somewhat challenged. Not to mention very unstable in their attitudes and demeanor. It is very sad, because the layout of the joint has decent potential.
Overall, do not go, not worth the effort.

Miggi was a great bartender, very attentive and took care of us quickly and swiftly. They noticed my work uniform and gave automatically added their 15% discount for those working in the service industry which i thought was awesome! Great speakers in there not too loud but loud enough to get you dancing.
Honestly place gets 4.5 stars im deducting a star because i was upset they didn’t have pool /​: but they have «life-​size beer pong» which is pretty fun as well as nightly specials that aren’t half bad, ill take $ 3 dos xx any night! Best dive bar in the area.

Came here for the $ 5 craft beer tasting thing they have every 1^st Wednesday of the month. I thought it was really cool… not as sketchy as some of these other reviews make it seem. I like how they had board games that you can play at the tables
For the beer tasting, they poor like maybe 2 shots worth of beer into a 4oz cup. And they provide chips and stuff at the tables where you get the beer. I think it’s well worth the $ 5. Just make sure you bring cash and get there early to get a seat

This is the sketchiest bar in the stone oak area. If you want to be hit on by the few drunk sketchy losers that populate The Hangar this is your spot. I came in a few times because it was right by my house but NEVER again!

This place is a hit or a miss. Sometimes the service is good and other times it sucks. I usually go during the games for their cheap wings and good specials. Have gone here during other week nights and the place was dead and yet the service still sucked. The lonely pool tables and some of the old style arcade games are a good redemption though. Too bad they are not kept up very well.

Cheers to The Hangar for reversing their policy on credit card surcharges!

This neighborhood bar has it all (except for karaōke, thank god)! There’s a kickass selection of craft beers, beer bingo Wednesdays, a large selection of wines, a wine tasting night every month, a beer tasting once a month, affordable brunch every Sunday, pretty good bar food, drawings for free happy hours, and awesome barkeeps. The Hanger Tavern doesn’t try to be more than a great neighborhood bar, which it excels at.

Great neighborhood local tavern. Laid back. Great drinks and always a wonderful wait staff

Came in late for the end of MNF and ran into Rachel and Miguel working the bar. Only thing cooking are the wings. Bummer right? No these things are awesome no complaints with them at all !!
Cons– no draft beers!
Pros– Great service, good wings, awesome staff, and craft beers from all over the nation!
Stop by this place when close by you will not be disappointed
Also they have good music and games

We really like this place for the beer selection but the brunch we had today was atrocious. Really hard to mess up toast but she did.

The bottle caps tonight were phenomenal!
The service was impeccable! Monday is the day to visit this establishment!

Went for bingo night. I took off one star because I didn’t win anything. LOL jk. side note: it doesn’t require skill to play bingo, but somehow I’m exceptional at sucking at it. Anyways, it’s a pretty nifty place. plenty of games to play like jumbo jenga! NICE! There were some good specials like $ 3 blue moons when we went. The menu for different beers is on a giant chalkboard wall and categorized by beer type (ex. lagers, stout, etc.) If you live close by, it wouldn’t suck to go try this place out. Bring friends. You might have better luck than me and actually win something –_–

***NOT VETERAN FRIENDLY***
June 2014:
The manager, Chris, at the Brook Hollow location denied entry to a gentleman because he has neck tattoos. This gentleman is a disabled veteran who served our country for 10 years, completed multiple tours in Iraq, and received his tattoos while enlisted with approval from the US Army. Despite being informed that he is a military veteran, and admitting the tattoos were not offensive or gang related, Chris (the manager) said neck and facial tattoos are how gang members show off their crimes, and he wouldn’t be allowed entry. This is how we treat our veterans? By telling them they look like gang members? I fail to understand how you won’t allow entry to a veteran with neck tattoos, but will employ individuals with neck tattoos. Way to set that double standard. True to form, the gentleman handled the manager’s horrendous behavior with class and dignity. God bless our troops in the war they fight over seas, and the ignorance they fight at home.

The bouncers a piece of poo. He thinks he is bigger than life. Nobody likes him. He made my best friend leave tonight for no reason! do not go, waste of your money!

By far one of San Antonio’s best little hangouts. Staff is fantastic. Owner is the best and they take care om me and everyone I send there. keep it up. live my football season there.

Originally came to take advantage of the 1^st Wednesday beer tasting, which is pretty awesome and a must try. Have since been back for Bingo Thursday (free) and BOGO Burger Friday. Wide selection of craft beer, all in bottles (no draft beer here). Decent menu with prices to match. Fun friendly staff makes you want to become a regular.

It’s a pretty chill bar, the DJ was pretty awesome and I enjoyed listening to the music. The only thing that stops me from giving them 5 stars is because they do not have my beer; Heineken, which I feel is very odd cause it’s a decently popular beer. I ended up drinking Third Shift, but then found out at the end of the night they have no more and aren’t getting anymore in; so that’s disappointing because not even World of Beer sells Third Shift.
They have this huge Jenga game that was entertaining to watch people play; as well as few oldie but goodie arcade games, including a basketball game! They also had darts and ping pong. Their set up is pretty nice and the couch they have on the lower level is easily the comfiest couch.
The servers were also really on ball, as soon as I stepped up I’d be waited on, once even by two servers cause the other server had to go in the back to get my drink. If you check in on Unilocal,Foursquare or Twitter them, they may send you a Pre Flight offer, which for my choice last night was a free Domestic beer; or an appetizer if you get there before the kitchen closes.

As for roaches, never have even seen a fly…
Just the regular bar flys.
Also, in response to the night life. there’s plenty of good tunes and people dancing to it. So, maybe, just maybe… don’t show up to a bar that serves a brunch on a Sunday right when it opens.
I have no idea where any of the negative points are valid in the last review.
Always have a fresh beer in my hand and have never been ignored.
Who knows, maybe some people piss off wait staff just by being themselves. I’m so glad you won’t be back! A very nice lounge area with projection TV.
Movie nights on Monday. Win prizes and the movie shown

Sunday Brunch!

Well… all I can say the start to my Sunday Funday came to a very quick stop after coming here.
But let me begin by saying I came here for BRUNCH… ive never been here at night… it may possibly be super fun and cool at night (eehh probably not lol)
Anywho… my friends & I met up to check out the new Sunday Brunch they were offering… Being the brunch lover that I am… It sounded awesome
$ 15 all you can eat brunch buffet & $ 1 Mimosas!!! …uummm thats where my excitement ends
So we get there… there is no one there… other than the employees… And no buffet in sight. Server came a few times… we had a few questions about how the buffet worked etc & she really didnt know much of anything :(
So we decided to order a round of mimosas… then took her awhile to come back & check on us or lead us to this «hidden buffet»
Well as it turns out it wasnt a buffet, more like a dude who stood there & u went and asked him for what u wanted. But never was she inviting or tried to really explain what we needed to do.
To top it off we saw a couple of water roaches walking around… we told the manager & he said they come over from the chinese food place next door :(
Dissapointed… i wasnt about to pay $ 15 for a non-​existant buffet
the whole experience was odd… i wouldnt go back
