Outstanding bar, great bartenders. Stopped by on a night we wanted to have a drink and chill ended up seeing a whole burlesque show. Their happy hour menu has a great setup!

Panda S.

A place to chill and take it easy. Best to probably call about the hours because we're here now and it's supposed to be closed according to the hours posted. The Amazing April will fix you up a savory drink or any of their fantastic bartenders. It says food but sadly no food. Course who knows where the heck it could be made. The only cooking here are the drinks that are on fire. Atmosphere is really nice. It's like the coffee shop vibe of Friends and the friendliness of Cheers. The parking is on the street so just be prepared. Nice artwork. Even some you can purchase.

When I go to a place for the first time I can become nervous and anxious. I would be best served if I just allowed myself to surrender to the moment. A place like Bar Ludivine has a very specific patron in mind. The decor is very simply stated but elegant. The antique velour sofa with pillows with cats. The high tables candle lit. The choice of 90's and an early 2000's mixtape playlist as background music. Yes it is shabby chic but with a modern flair. This is not a "Happy Hour at Taco Cabana" type of bar. Its intended audience is a sophisticated and more mature demographic. A bar certainly meant for date night or someone rummaging through a Schopenhauer book. But to the mechanics of this bar. It is located in Southtown a few doors down from Taco Haven. The place is really small, intimate and charming. On the drink end they have spirits, wines and beer. The mixologist, who happens to be the principle owner serves up drinks and will take your order from your table. Although they have a small paper menu with signature cocktails he can make you just about anything. Here is where I must interject. If you're expecting a bartender from your corner cantina this is not that place. He serves you and then let's you carry on a conversation with your company. Maybe patrons will confuse that with inattentiveness. I interpreted that as being the utmost professional as a person who takes their craft very seriously. Two or three things I must implore to you. Since it is on a strip of South Presa that has finite parking I can already forsee this as an issue in the future. Secondly they don't serve any food, which would automatically bump this review to a four and a half stars. And lastly this place is not cheap. I'm a beer drinker and seven dollars even for craft beer not in a restaurant setting is a little pricey. Then again a date night, an opportunity to see live music or even an after dinner cocktail are not casual affairs. Not to say that a suit with matching ascot is the preferred attire here. I might turn my head twice if I saw someone wearing a "King Diamond" tshirt and dangling earrings at a table though. Ludivine, which is a French name that means "Friend of the people." At that capacity it does share those sensibilities. The choice of antiques, the shabby chic decor and the elegant chandelier all say I'm here for a sophisticated experience. From the glassware to the presentation of drinks the cultured, mature patron is definitely kept in mind. Southtown is filled with unique experiences both big and small. If you happen to be in this area and were on a date night, left a Broadway play or had a Hemingway book on hand I would recommend it. The service is excellent, the drinks are made by someone who takes his craft seriously and the ambiance is otherworldly. It is pricey but on a beautiful Friday night you are totally worth it.

Only had one drink there, but enjoyed the atmosphere. It was very relaxed with an engaging band playing. We ordered our drinks at the bar and were able to sit and relax on a red velvet couch. Looked like they had a full bar and there were food stands on the street. Enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy the live music.

Such a cozy environment. Really great neighborhood bar, I enjoyed the vibe. They made an amazing French 75 with a rose pedal in it! :') I wish I got a photo of that. It was delicious! They have karaoke some nights. Cool spot. Hit or miss crowd.

I really enjoyed my visit. I attended a Burlesque show on a Friday evening and loved it. I had to message them on Instagram for an rsvp. Be warned that the reservations fill up fast. If you don't score a reservation they release the seats for the no shows right before the show begins, so there is no guarantee you will get a seat. In the meantime you have to wait outside to prevent them going over capacity. The show was amazing though and worth standing for. Their drinks are really good and they have some pretty good creations. Definitely check this place out.

Misty G.

Dark, intimate place with fancy decor, but chill vibes, and lots of seating. They have a couple of local beers on tap, a small wine selection, and then a menu with many classic cocktails plus a couple of their own creations. I went with one of their house libations - emerald dagger. It had both gin and mezcal and I wondered if it would be too much, but it was flavorful and smooth. Even with all the upscale decor, this place gave me divey feels and I loved that juxtaposition.

Cozy wine bar with great selections!! I don't normally review "bars" because for me a bar, is a bar, is a bar but when they get the ambiance, drinks and service right well you have to let them know!! Working in healthcare can be a little stressful so an occasional drink to wind down before heading home is just what the doctor ordered!! And this place delivers!! Love the wine, love the beer, service is great, and was easy to find! Definitely a Southtown Gem!! Looking forward to coming back for Live Music Nights! read more

We stopped here for cocktails prior to dinner. It was a random Yelp find, and even though there were just two reviews we decided to go in. The place was empty (it was 6:00pm) and we met Rob the bartender. They have some great signature drinks including some with Mescal. I have never had a mescal mixed drink so it was fun to try some new combinations. Rob was great and told us about the bar. It has just been re-opened under new management and a new name. We came back after dinner and the placed was packed. They had local live music. I highly recommend this place. read more

The tables, vibe, personnel etc. are all wonderful. Everything about it is really great, except... As they are quick to point out, to the extreme of even having almost a "doorman" at the door to let you know before even entering: There's no grapes in this place, nor any wines made from grapes. It's all made from flowers and nectar. This company didn't invent this technique, but while they seem to do a good job at it, the wines, and I tried three different ones, just aren't my thing. The best one was a peach flavored one being served in a hot beverage on a chilly evening, which was nice, but had a lot of sugar in it, more of a hot toddy. Glasses of "straight up" wine on a subsequent visit just didn't do it for me. Bottom line, if you've got an open mind, definitely try this place. I'm glad I did, and again, it's a great place to meet up and relax, with a great atmosphere. Maybe the wines will appeal to you more than they did to me.

You can tell they genuinely care about making sure you enjoy what you're drinking. Also low key one of my favorite parts were the other patrons. Everyone there was just...nice. It had that welcoming, neighborhood feel where you don't feel out of place, even on your first visit. I noticed they do things like tasting Tuesdays, plus events and pop-ups throughout the week, which makes me even more excited to go back. I live less than 5 minutes away and had NO idea this place existed - so consider this your sign to go if you're also nearby.

I just love this space. It's cozy, everyone from staff to patrons are super friendly and welcoming…read more There's a huge assortment of wines and other beverages, including many non alcoholic offerings. They offer snacks and goodies. You really can't go wrong if you're looking for a cool vibe where you can just unwind and relax with friends.

Maybe even a little confusing, but I think it's all part of its charm. 100% take the recommendations from the server they know their way around that. It was a nice eclectic way of perusing through a menu that seemed like it was gonna be a disaster, but then ended up cohesively melting in your mouth, the entire journey. Such a good night, me and my friends are still raving about it!

We also order the Bao Bun appetizer (very good!) just make sure to order one per person since it's single serving. I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Ramen subbed bigger noodles - definitely recommend for a more creamy broth don't forget to add extra sauces tho that are on the table! The only thing we orded that we all weren't a big fan of was a drink called something like a kiwi sparkler (with rock candy) and it was very bland. Staff were very kind, and quick!

They also have a Birria soup bowl that is phenomenal, I didn't get it this time because I wanted to try something new.

That attention to detail definitely comes through in the food. I ordered the arugula salad with chicken, and it was outstanding. The combination of candied pumpkin seeds, creamy goat cheese, roasted beets, and balsamic vinaigrette was perfectly balanced, with every bite offering great texture and flavor. My friends ordered the pepperoni pizza and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came dessert... and I completely lost all self-control--in the best way possible. We ordered the affogato, tiramisu, torta di polenta, and the Nutella torta. Every single dessert was beautifully executed and absolutely delicious. If I had to pick favorites, the affogato and the Nutella torta were the standouts, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Excellent service, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and food that delivers from start to finish. I'll definitely be back!

I had the most incredible experience at Bar Ludivine in Southtown San Antonio!. The venue itself is perfect - intimate, cozy, and with just the right amount of space to get comfortable and enjoy the show. But what really made the night stand out was the amazing bar staff and incredible drink selection. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always full. The owners were also incredibly accommodating and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for their patrons. The comedy show itself was hilarious, and I think the venue really added to the energy of the night. The sound system was top-notch and the stage was set up perfectly for the performers. We were all laughing so hard we were crying, and the crowd was electric. I would highly recommend Bar Ludivine Southtown to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable night out. The owners and staff are clearly dedicated to creating a special experience, and it shows in every aspect of the venue. We would definitely come back here again and again, and we'll be sure to promote this venue to all our friends and family. If you're looking for a great spot to see a comedy show or just want a fun night out, look no further than Bar Ludivine Southtown! read more

Bartender with the black teeth is a real treat. Fart noise. Hire someone who actually wants to take care of the customer.
