Tony’s Bar

Awesome local home style place. Two dollar domestics. Three imports of the Mexican type. Juke box. Pool table some video games. Laid back kind of place.
So how many places make you a home micheladas.

I was in search of a place to watch the Cowboys game and found this place on Unilocal.I found way more than I was looking for. The owner Tony is very personable and treats all the customers like family. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. One of his bartenders Mary was inside when I arrived and remembered me from my phone call earlier in the day. She even served me a plate of chips and queso when the game started. Service doesn’t get any better than that. There is only beer and wine on the menu but what else do you need. This place is a must !

This place is a fabulous dive bar. Super chill friendly clientele. TV’s for sportsball of all varieties, and the help (I’m assuming Tony was our bartender — lovely man) was great. Not to mention that 2 coronas and a miller light were $ 8. $ 8. Amazing. Don’t let the outside scare you off.

What a gem of a dive bar. This is my favorite new find in San Antonio. Come here for great micheladas, cheap Mexican beer, and friendly faces.

This little gem off Broadway was simply amazing. Very welcoming staff and the owner Tony made everyone grilled burgers during the Spurs game. Ice cold beer served with a side of smiles! Don’t let the locale or outside appearance dissuade you from venturing in to this quintessential San Antonio staple of an «ice house». This is the type of place that screams Puro San Antonio! Ohh yes I will be back to sip on a cold Lonestar! They’ve got a couple of picnic tables out front to bask in the sun and a large flat screen TV inside for your sports viewing pleasure! Tony and his granddaughter made the burgers from scratch, and they were simply AMAZING!

I was attracted to this bar for several reasons. One was the fact that Tony’s is a mere quarter-​mile from work, and the other — there is a miniature Tower of the Americas erected outside.
The inside of Tony’s Bar is half-​sports bar, half-​lounge, and kind of reminds me of Cheers… but the Mexican version. ;) You have a small bar area for about 6 – 8 people, and the rest of the place is old-​school tables and red neon diner-​style chairs.
The big screen is usually on sports (a.k.a. Cowboys) and when it’s not, count on ESPN or ABC.
The drinks are that of a no-​frills bar — you have all the basic beers plus some Mexican bottles and a few mini-​wine bottles. Alas, no Heineken. The prices are great, though. $ 2.50 domestic, $ 2.75 import, and $ 3 Smirnoff & those little Barefoot wine bottles.
Tony even sells snacks like chips, crackers, queso, etc.
Apparently, there is live music performed at Tony’s often but I haven’t seen any yet. So that’s when the big jukebox in the right corner comes in handy.
Outside are a few wooden benches and, again, that cool replica of the Tower made out of steel.
Tony Lopez is a very down-​to-​earth guy, and his family are usually with him in the bar at night. He always tells his patrons to drive safely, even me after only downing a Dos XX and a Smirnoff.
But I like this place… it’s very friendly… and cheap… and the parking is free in the lot or on the street!
They’re open Tue-​Fri and on Sundays when «games» are on… I assume that means Cowboys… ;)
