First visit. I recommend. Party of 7. Visit at 2pm on a spring Saturday in March. It was a quick stop because we were on a bar trolley tour. Ordered at the bar - shots and a draft beer. Lots of daylight inside. We all enjoyed seeing the trains passing by from the large window. Too bad there's no back patio. Good service. Bartenders in uninforms. There were a few patron there already. A crawfish boil was being set up outside. A clothing marketing was taking place in the parking lot. read more

Rico the bartender was extremely rude and never once came and checked on us. I asked for his name and he had an attitude about it. We went to the bar across from them and had a blast. read more

Such a fun spot. The bartenders are all so sweet and total babes. Tons of space to dance around and act like an idiot. Perfect!

Bartenders are chill af. Awesome drink specials and you can catch the game. Boxing or ufc events too. read more

Boxcar Bar - Bartenders are so nice here!!! Also it's a great place to catch the game. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've passed by this place many times, not knowing it was a Bar. I usually come here to eat at La Maceta, the red food truck directly across the parking lot but this time they said we could eat inside the bar since we purchase food. Once we went inside to sit, we noticed the great music playing from the DJ, basketball game on all the TVs, and cute decor, like the full length mirror with the selfie light outside the bathroom door, the neon booty sign, and a photo booth with photo wall. Service was great. We were serve drinks immediately and they were strong. I got a don Julio & pineapple, and more tequila shots later! Fun place, good drinks, music & vibes! read more

Decent time on our second visit. It was a much different vibe this time around. Our first visit we were able to select from a few signature cocktails and everything seemed much more upscale for a sports bar. The bartenders had a good vibe and were truly craftsman in what they were doing. This time around was different. When my wife asked for a signature cocktail menu the bartender seemed confused. She also seem too busy to speak with us even though we could see she wasn't. We ordered two gin and tonics that were whatever. The DJ was great though and was still a fun way to end the night. I just think this place could keep it's more upscale vibe and create itself as a destination and not a pit stop. Just saying. read more

We only stopped by for drinks and I was pleasantly surprised to be carded at the door. Thank you for making me feel young! Inside is small, slightly intimate. The bartenders were very chill. A great selection of liquor behind the bar, but I chose one of the house drinks. The QR code on the table has an updated menu, not currently found online. I wish I could remember the name of my drink - superb choice, though. We stayed about an hour and music was starting right before we left. If I didn't have to catch a 0545 in the morning I would have stayed longer. Will definitely return; love the vibe! read more

Came here on a whim and the vibes were good- at first! Service was AWFUL. Bartender acted like I was dumb when I tried to ask what beers they had on tap, then poured me a beer with a bug in it. Got another drink that she again, poured wrong. All for 23$. Left right after that. Will not be coming here again, this must have been her first day and it should be her last. read more

Guinness on tap, poured correctly with great service, you can't ask for more. Nice relaxing atmosphere with good parking, so important in SA. read more

Cool bar that we meet some friends at Alamo Beer and decided to check out these places nearby for mixed drinks. Walked in and bartender knew my friend's little sister. He set us up with some drink specials that were all really good. The price here is good with a little patio area to enjoy the evening. Liked this place and would visit again. read more

Boxcar Bar has been open for a little while and I've been eagerly waiting for the chance to make it in for Happy Hour. Boxcar has the same owner as The Green Lantern in Stone Oak and it was nice to see some of the same bartenders working there. As the name implies, Boxcar has a train theme going on inside. Located right next to the railroad tracks the trains go by several times an hour. It's a cool experience to sip cocktails and watch the trains. Happy Hour is nightly from 4-9pm and features crafted cocktails as well as beer and wine. Whatever your liquor preference the bartenders here can create a crafted cocktail to your liking. Both Ryan and Daniel make an an excellent old fashioned and for $6 on happy hour makes it the best value in the city. I'm glad I was finally able to make it here and look forward to coming back sooner rather than later. read more

So I went to this "bar" last night with 2 of my girlfriends and as we were leaving I was approached by a man who I'm assuming is the door guy, he told me "be a little bit more discrete when making a sale" I said excuse me?? Very confused he proceeded to say "I saw you flick a bag before you went to the bathroom" me very confused asked if he was accusing me of doing coke, my friends joined in knowing I don't do that telling him he was mistaken, if this is your employee they need to have concrete evidence before they wanna go accusing people of stuff, I truly don't know if he had me mistaken for someone else or what but I will NEVER be back here read more

Cool staff and a nice place to unwind after a days errands. They make the drinks exactly as you like. I've never been a regular at a bar but I am now. read more

Bartender cut me off after second drink. Said I had too much to drink after second drink. We had just gotten there to enjoy a night with our group of 10. Was our second round round of drinks . Never made it to the third. . Not going back again, nor taking my boss and co-workers back again. ​ read more

Graffiti from all over the nation can be seen whizzing by from within this pristine bar, but there's more to this drinkery than its namesake view of the tracks. They have clean bathrooms, booths, and a patio where a decent sundown over the city can be soaked up on a nightly basis. The center bar always has at least one talented bartender wearing a pork pie hat who can both mix the potions and tell a tale or two.  Things are near perfect, except for the uncomfortable hour that occurs between leaving work and Boxcar's 6pm opening. read more

I don't know if it was a slow ass day, or if this place is slowly dying. But the vibe wasn't what we were looking for. It was totally empty and we were two of the six people that night. The drinks were good, but not memorable. Crossed it off my bar bucket list. read more

Great place to enjoy good vibes and amazing fresh and innovative drinks. House made infused drinks that are made fresh and with love by the talented bartenders. It's not your usual run of the mill pre made drinks that downtown San Antonio is accustomed too. Fresh fruit and flowers compliment the sophisticated drinks that bring your taste buds to life without using overwhelming "bottom shelf" liquor. The prices are reasonable and make sure to tip the staff that go that extra mile to make sure you have high quality drinks in your glass. Cheers! read more

Free parking (very rare around Texas apparently), great drinks, music, bartenders, and drink options. To be honest, this place was our second choice (we were visiting San Antonio with a list to places to visit), and I'm glad we were able to make it here. The bartender working here was new, but sounded like he had it all together his first night. I don't have any cons to share about this place. Our total bill for 2 drinks was $12.99, and we were also given a few other drinks to test for them. The members were preparing for their St. Patricks day event so they were experimenting with drinks. read more

Came in with a large group for happy hour. The space was big enough to accommodate all of us! The service was friendly as well. They have such a great happy hour from 4-9 with $6 cocktails like the cucumber martini, palomas, old fashioned, etc. Improvements: It would be awesome if they expanded their menu to include some sort of food/apps read more

Used to be a really good craft cocktail bar. Now it's a speed sports bar where bartenders are all underdressed women who ignore you because they are on their phone the whole time. Don't go here unless you want to be gawked at by a buncha men and have poorly made drinks. read more

Usually love this place but tonight the whole staff decided to take selfies while the bar was filling up. Once people started leaving the bar area then they decided to go back to working:( I totally get a work selfie and all the girls are gorgeous so yeah do your thing but maybe when it's dead and not getting busy read more

Great place. Laid back vibe and great staff. Hole in the wall of an old sketchy neighborhood. Gentrification at its best! Come check it out read more

Boxcar Bar - Awesome dreary San Antonio day. Best place to watch the train and the rain - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The name of the bar is very suiting as it sits right by the railroad tracks When I went they had a DJ spinning some music music was good and fun, but definitely not the best "DJ". The bartender disappointed me with the drinks, I asked for something creamy with bourbon and the concoction he served me was terrible & not to mention the price of my drink... whopping $10 don't get me wrong I totally don't mind paying 10$ for a nice cocktail at a NICE upscale lounge. But downtown, east side, near train tracks with a not so creative bartender..."I don't think so"! -Clueless read more

Loved the food, service and ambiance! Will definitely be back. It's a great brunch spot and great location.

Happy hour TILL 9! This is not a drill! A surprisingly large space WITH parking and yummy drinks. Also shout out for the clean/roomy bathrooms. The Paloma was light and refreshing and the cucumber martini was delicious. They only had one bartender working on a Friday so the service was a bit slow but other than that a great experience. read more

Cool new bar on the city's east side. Good place to hang out after work and have a few drinks. The place is not loud (which I love) so it's suited for conversations between friends or coworkers. The happy hour menu goes on till 9pm and has a good selection of unique and traditional cocktails. My girlfriend got the cucumber martini which was very refreshing and the chili rim was a plus. They do take table reservations so if you're looking to accommodate a large party make sure to call ahead! read more

First time here and it was a great little dive bar. Daniel, bartender, gave great service and recommendations. I tried everything on the happy hour menu, their happy hour is from 4pm-9pm!, my favorite was the Flor Plan (not in HH menu but still a very good drink) Will come back here again. read more

I would normally go to this bar, but recently they charged me $88 out of no where. I tried asking twice to see if I can get a manger to figure this out, and every time it's an excuse of not being able to access the transaction history on the register. Don't think I want to come back since they'll just take money from you. read more

This place has a really cool atmosphere. I can see a lot of thought and money was put into this establishment, has a loungy chill feel. Located near hays bridge behind the train tracks. I like how the bar has wide windows and you can see the train passing by. Very beautiful establishment, even the bathrooms were lovely. I went on a Wednesday, they had some live entertainment, a solo singer playing guitar. Had a chance to meet him, a kind gentlemen. Good Happy hour prices from 4-9. I didn't give this place 5 stars cause the bartender was a bit rude and him and his other partner that came in were loud and obnoxious. For this type of bar especially being one that is new and looks like they specialize in cocktails should hire bartenders that are more engaging and take time to familiarize their patrons with their specialty drinks. read more

Nice place great music, but they have one security guard that takes his job way to serious.. A female probably 105 pounds was drunk so this guy grabs her hard makes her fall and the only way he stopped grabbing her was because another guy calmed him down. I will not go back there if he is working he is weird and unprofessional! He worked on 11/27/21! On a Friday.. horrible security guard.. if he is not there I recommend going here if he is just walk away his vibe is off. read more
