Chill spot attached to Q.P.V. You can NOT order food at the bar. Bartenders are just as chill as the bar. Mix (on first Friday) was 90-2000s mix. We appreciated the music too read more

Backroom Bar At Tpc - I love the esthetics. This piece is so sexy. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Stopped by the Backroom Bar before dinner to have a quick drink. We have even at Queso Pan y Vino several times, but had never made it back to the bar for drinks. Per the standard, I ordered an Old Fashioned and was not disappointed. The bartender was attentive and the overall experience was great. If you find yourself in Southtown and needing a solid cocktail, I'd recommend Backroom Bar over any other bar on the South Alamo strip. read more

Backroom Bar At Tpc - Old Fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Slightly off the beaten path but well worth it. A hidden red door under a cigar shop leads you to the Backroom bar. Very speakeasy looking, so cool - offering just drinks. Up front is a small restaurant where you can get food and drinks from the mixologist in the Backroom bar. Drinks were good but they don't like it if you want to alter one of their signatures. Service was friendly and efficient. The food however was amazing the charcuterie board was delicious. The mixture of cheeses and meats with homemade jam on the most flavorful crostinis. I first always try a small taste of everything one at a time to get the distinct flavor prior to mixing up a combination of all the flavors at once. Despite being concerned that pizza anywhere won't compete with pizza from home we decided to try one of their speciality pies - Pancetta. It was amazing crispy pancetta with grilled onions and mozzarella on a thin crispy crust. Each piece was finger licking good. This is a must see and experience!! read more

The bartender Carlos was amazing, gave a quick tutorial on Mezcal. Mixed up great drinks. The Mezcal Old Fashioned was great. Jose Alejandro was attentive and kept the water flowing. You must try the barbacoa pizza, great recommendation from Carlos. Definitely will be back! read more

Super chill back room with food in front. Great drinks, good drink portions and most of all bartenders that cared what/how they served. Refreshing bar and I see why it got such great reviews. Give it a try! read more

The Backroom Bar is literally a great hidden gem. If you've never been here before you might walk past it once or twice (guilty) so don't be afraid to ask directions lol. The bar is in the backroom and has a great ambiance to the place. All the bartenders I've interacted with have all been friendly and can make great cocktails. On this venture, I tried the cucumber margarita and my standard Old Fashion. The cucumber margarita is served chilled with a rimmed cocktail glass and it's delicious. You should try it. They make their Old Fashions with Rye whiskey so that is why I like coming here. They make it great every time and this time was no different. Overall, if you are in the South Town area and want something off the beaten path then this is the place for you. P.S. if you like wine or cigars then you can either go around the corner or up the stairs to visit their sister locations. Great options! read more

This is one of the few bars open at 3pm around Southtown on a Saturday. We were looking for a quick drink and a good time and the Backroom Bar didn't disappoint. The bar is small and has chairs around. We ordered an old fashioned, Pineapple Express and a cantarito which were all very good. Drinks are pricey but there's a lot of detail that goes into making each drink. read more

This place is nestled between S Presa and S Alamo Streets. You can actually enter from two places...either through the courtyard for the Pipe Corner at S Alamo or via the red door with the neon lit "COCKTAILS" sign and a bull wall mural at S Presa. This would be the true backdoor backroom bar entrance...not well trafficked and saves you a walk around the block of it is cold outside! The cocktails are well made and the bar staff is always nice and sociable. Beer is also at an affordable price at under $5 and there are also some craft beers on the menu too. Usually it is staffed by one bartender throughout the week, but they have a couple more on the weekends. Ive found the busyness of the patio crowd usually indicates how crowded it is inside the backroom bar. I have never had a problem getting a drink and I prefer the low-key setting. Typically there is not a cover charge compared to the more hyped up Bar America just a few doors away. It is a great place to bring friends outside the downtown touristy area. You can also buy and enjoy a smoke bought from the Pipe Corner locates up the stairs. Occasionally there is live music featuring some jazz or rock band out on the patio, so it really has a lot to offer! read more

Drinks are great. Def real mixologists. My friend got the carajillo, I got the old fashion and we got the pineapple spicy tequila shots. ALL we perfect (which is normally rare for my friends and I). Ambiance is great, staff is friendly. Space is a little small so I recommend small groups like 3 or less. We will be back. read more

I could stay in this place all night (and I admittedly did)! I visited with a friend of mine for a quick drink and immediately knew this was my type of spot. Dim lighting, cozy bar/seating, good music and tons of tequila with bartenders who knew all about them. The first time I stopped by I was in a slight rush but I came back with my boyfriend about a week later and he had the same sentiments that I did about it! With that said we came back the following night with a few more friends and stayed pretty much until the bar closed - don't judge! If you're looking for a chill place to grab a great drink downtown, look no further! read more

So we had planned to go to QPV but due to some electrical issues they had to close the restaurant. However the bar was open & we were able to still order from the restaurant, the bartender was very accommodating able to fill our cravings for our favorite pizza La Mexicana. Service was great and loved trying the Mexican old fashion. read more

Words can't describe how amazing this place is. Great place to sit outside and enjoy a cigar, the drinks were unbelievable!!

This place has great music, atmosphere, and beer. It's a bit small, so don't expect to bring a large party on a weekend, but there's a nice outdoor area that is larger. read more

Back in the back of the patio for the Pipe Corner, you'll find this small bar tucked away. I had never noticed it there before! The place is a full bar with a wide variety of craft and local beers available at a great price! They had live music set up when we went, with a solo guitarist who'd been playing earlier in the day. The decor is cool- Banksy artwork along the walls and cryptic neon signs, and a bathroom that's been painted by a graffiti artist, which looks cool. It's got an urban speakeasy kinda vibe to it. There were plenty of places to sit, from bar stools to a cushioned sofa. The service was fast and friendly. They came by the table and made sure the drinks were full and everything was going smoothly. The restroom was clean, and well stocked. The painting of a giant pair of eyes watching the toilet was a bit disconcerting, but don't worry, I made it happen. This isn't the same TPC as the TPC Parkway, up on the north side of town. TPC stands for The Pipe Corner. However, I don't think you can smoke a pipe in this Pipe Corner. Isn't a pipe corner called an "elbow?" read more

I love this place. This is my new go-to bar when I'm in the area. We stopped by Sat night and saw their drinks specials on a board outside. They have a nice patio area and then inside has nice street and modern style art on the walls with a nice open plan. It wasn't packed like the bar next door so we were able to grab a seat at the bar. They have a great selection of $4 beer and a good beer selection overall. They had a good drink selection on special that night as well. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The bartender was friendly and they were playing a nice alternative dance mix music. read more

This bar is a gem in southtown tucked behind a false door coming from the restaurant or an undiscript door on presa so needless to say you have to know this bar is there to find it and it's worth the trek read more

Bar far my favorite bar. Owner and bartender are awesome and they have good music playing or live music outside. This place has it all. You won't be disappointed going here.

It was a little hard to find but I'm glad we did! The infused shots are amazing! The service was prompt and I had a blast.

Claudio is one of the best mixologist I've ever seen. The best Palomas and the best old fashion. Infused shots are really good (tequila, pineapple and Serrano) is my favorite. Great music and great vibes. read more
