The people here bond over karaoke like no other crowd I've seen. Ask for Jess when looking for a bartendar who knows how to take care of her clients. Also both Eddie and Quinn are very professional and some of the best KJ'S I've met that know how to balance your vocals and make you look like the next American idol. This place has gone above and beyond my expectations everytime.

It's a classic hole in the wall but it gives a homie not aggressive spot, if that makes any sense. The parking situation is not the greatest as you will have to park along the street 80% of the time lol but nevertheless it's a vibe. There's a cool outside area that has two food trucks and plenty of seating as inside is mainly for standing. The service there was good I had been asked if I needed help which was shocking as most places do not care until you go up to the bar.

OMG I really do not think I have the words to express how great this little bar is. If I lived in…read moreSan Antonio, it would for sure be one of my regular spots, especially for the wrestling events. It's the perfect dive bar but with live music, wrestling, dee-jays, and more. The drinks and beer prices are incredibly affordable. It's got a decently spacious interior with a nice sized outdoor patio. They host the matches in the parking lot and they take place every three months. If you're going for a match, best to use a car service or find somewhere in the neighborhood to park. Moreover, the fellow patrons, bartender, and manager were the coolest people around. Everyone was so nice! I couldn't believe it. We were treated like friends, like family, even. What an incredible visit with incredible human beings. Counting the days until we get to go back.

You know the night before a holiday urge to go get a drink in your hometown feel? I know it and I…read morewas super excited to see Slow Ride come up as an option for me and my sister to pop in and catch up over some drinks. Parking along the street is free (along the fence line of Sam Houston) and was not an issue even for a holiday. There is a paid parking lot that is secure and available too so note that if ever you have an issue finding a good spot. Walking into Slow Ride is like walking into your tio's (uncle) or a grandpa's cool, 70's/80;s vibey, and home-y bar. This is the kind of spot where every picture you take of yourself, or your friends, will look like you took it in the 80's! This is not a bad thing either. Seriously. It IS A VIBE here! Cushy seats at the bar was my favorite spot to hang out while we had some cold beers and a shot to go alongside it too. They have beer and shot combos here around $8. You get plenty of choices on beer and liquor of choice. I opted for a tallboy Lonestar and a small shot of the Mexican Candy. My sister got a Live Oak Hefe in a can (she likes Blue Moon so this was the closest thing to it and she liked it!) and later a Shiner in a bottle. I also decided to close out with a daiquiri that was super delicious and offered in nice glassware. Patio out in the back is spacious and a great spot to hang out with a group of friends. The back space is taken care of and has a modern look to it out there. I can see it being a nice vibe outside on a pretty day too. Jukebox is legit! All great music selections from all genres on CDs and pretty cheap too to play 5-8 songs. The artwork around here is worth a look around too. I love all the unique Garfield toys surrounding the bar area too. All of the back bar is so great with the wooden shelving and lighting too. You can see many honorable nods to those who currently or have served. It's a great thing to see especially so close to Sam Houston. One thing I have a pet peeve on is any service bar who has to keep my card on file. I am the worst person who won't remember so I have to be extra careful when bars keep my card. I usually walk and don't mind paying the 20+% tab walk fee but I do want my card back so I have to get everyone who is with me to remind me to go get it. That's why I am giving it 4 stars. I am looking forward to coming back in the future and bringing some more family and friends, though. This spot is so nostalgic and their social is super active and will promote DJs and sets happening that week and into the weekend. Go check them out and play some pool. You're gonna feel like you are in a Matthew McConaughey movie when you do. Tell me I am wrong!!!

The service has consistently been exceptional, and I particularly appreciate their impressive bourbon and whiskey selection.
