    After visiting every location in San Antonio,TX, I think this is hands down their best location. We were sat immediately after entering and the wait staff were not just good, they were AWESOME!! I mean ,they were more than just professional, but friendly as well. In addition, the food was outstanding!!!!! I once again, ordered my go to meal, Blackened Salmon with a side of plain mashed potatoes and a full rack of ribs. My Blackened Salmon was outstanding but oh man.... my husband's ribs were soooooo flippin good that I stopped eating my Salmon and ate some of his. I know...horrible ...but I didn't care they were freakin awesome!! In my defense, he did offer!!! Lmbo Absolutely worth the money

    This was my first time here. The wait time was a little longer than expected to receive the food. The asparagus were cooked nicely however I didn't care for the Mac and cheese

    First time at this location. Service was good but a little slow given the amount of people that were there. But the server was polite and got us what we needed. Food was good, fresh and good portion size. Of course ambiance is as expected. No problems returning.

    We were driving between San Antonio and Austin today and decided to stop here for some lunch around noon. We were quickly seated at a comfortable booth within view of several big screen tvs that were playing the football games. The decor is 2000's pop culture with many pictures covering every inch of the walls. The menu has many appetizers, salads, burgers, steaks and entrees. My husband had the stuffed mushrooms and chicken wings. The mushrooms were the biggest ones I have ever seen. They were good. I ordered the Buffalo chicken salad. It came out a lot later than my husband's items for some reason. Once it arrived it was pretty good. A little less blue cheese crumbles would probably have been better. Overall, a pretty good experience.

    Family celebration tonight so we stopped by 54th street! Hubby got chicken club salad and he loved it. Son got the ribs & chicken platter and he loved it. Daughter enjoyed her chicken Marisa and I loved my steak and veggies. Don't miss out on this good food!

    Any happy hour? If so, what does it entail?

    Monday-Friday 3-6 and 9-closing. It has some food options as well as obviously off drinks

    What is the entree price range? I wish they'd post prices online.

    Prices range from about $10 to $20 depending on what you get. Prices are similar to those of Cheddars or Chillis.

I wasn't told about this establishment, rather I happened upon it while meandering about aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon in April. All the other bars at 2am seemed dead, so I saw the sign and decided to ascend the "stairway to drinks" in the easily overlooked front entrance. After hitting the top of the stairs, the place opens up to a very interesting experience. There are two main covered areas, a thought to keep in mind as it was rigorously sprinkling when I visited. First there's a well-stocked open bar area under a makeshift roof with TVs there to grab the attention if the phone isn't working. Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine as so many people go out nowadays to bars and sit on a phone rather than socialize. What's the point!? Ok, lets get back to the review shall we? While the bar has a 270 degree seating area, there are some open tables without a roof. This yields to the largest area with a shack like roof covering picknick tables, benches all not exactly the most comfortable seating but cozy nonetheless. The fellow patrons were extremely nice and represented all spectrums of life. As for the drinks the bartender was extremely helpful in suggesting drinks of the day while being fast in severing over 30 people by himself. Kudos to slinging suds at a lightspeed pace. I don't fault the establishment for only having one person scheduled as 2pm isn't normally busy but when an impromptu bridal shower shows up, Shade showed out (meaning they handled it well)! My bourbon cocktail was perfectly balanced while their special drinks weren't overpowering yet had enough alcohol to kick start a motor into 5th gear after sitting idle for too long. Overall, I love this joint as it's everything one could realistically want in a bar. Even though their cocktails varieties are somewhat limited, sorry I wasn't ordering a "pickle-rita" they're very good and reasonably priced. The view is great no matter where which seat is selected and the people are fun and delightful. I highly suggest giving this place a shot as it checks all the boxes on an impromptu list. The only pause would be if it's raining hard, let it end before heading up the stairs.

    This used to be a fun an unique spot in San Marcos to hang out and grab a drink. But it has issues…read more Let me first start out with the good. The staff is FANTASTIC and very friendly. The bartenders are lead by the awesome Rene(i hope i'm spelling that right) and Miguel. I haven't learned the names of the others yet but I have never had an issue with any of them and they are always so polite. You can drink at the bar and even order food from the Taproom. Now for the bad or what needs to improve. The Porch used to have a nice outside 'porch' area with nice chairs and even porch swings. That I always felt was the selling point of this place as when sitting outside i would constantly hear passers by comment on the swings and even come in to sit on them. These have been replaced by very cheap metal chairs most of which are broken now and for some reason an elevated table with barstools which isn't in the porch motif. The interior used to have nice comfortable couches and chairs but pool tables have replaced those. Its fine I mean business change with new owners but it lost a little of what it was. I would be fine with all of that, except the outdoor chairs, if it wasn't so hot inside. The AC barely works if at all and half of the fans do not work so there is no air circulation and in Texas during the summer you want a nice cool place to relax. They need to fix the fans, cool off the interior and put some fans on the exterior. In the spring time, fall and winter its a great place to hang out, but until they fix the summer issues, I can't say. It is better than when they tried to be a disco club during the pandemic lol.

You can sit facing the street, inside with both a street view and TVs, or in the back where there are more TVs but a bit darker. The bar is smack in the middle with a cool circular projection screen above it. I ordered a Deep Eddy Grapefruit with Sprite and watched the FIFA World Cup. The bartender was cool. It is definitely a cool bar with great drinks.

Not sure if the other half is the same bar or a different bar. But I walked straight in and sat at the bar. While I was waiting for him I ordered a drink. I said anything sweet and vodka based. He said do you like strawberry, I said, I love strawberry. Then he said he would fix me something nice. And he was right. Strawberry lemonade. The drink has a mellow strawberry flavor, so it's actually not too sweet. Had like 4 drinks. The bar was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. It's in the heart of down town San Marcos I would imagine. Looked like the town hall was across the street. There was a group of people that came in, maybe a dad and his son, and son's friends. Maybe a birthday celebration. they actually were doing shots and they ordered one too many and offered it to me. Thank you kind Sir! Sweet of you. No idea what the shot was when I joined their toast. Down the shot went and I was like, no way did I just do that. Like is this really a thing? Pickle juice? Seriously? Haha. Well, just popped my cherry, pickle back shot. Had a great night catching up. Laughs, drinks, memories, and well, it was just nice to step away for a short time. Parking situation. It's all street parking. Didn't have a difficult time finding a spot.

I noticed all the bartenders were at the end of the bar laughing and joking so I left. As I'm walking out they walk out with my purse. Everything was there but my wallet with $100 cash, a vintage heart locket necklace, my debit and credit cards and my student ID was definitely stolen. When I tried to act upset about it they harassed me, laughed at me and shined a bright flashlight in my face. Not sure if it was the bartenders or another customer but they just handled the situation horribly, will not be coming back.
