    No food here. Drinks only. Was able to get a free mocktail based on my favorite color. :) Service was good. Again, my mocktail was free. :) I tipped of course. Ambiance = there are no windows. This is an old school dive bar with a pool table and a jukebox. I've been going here for decades.

    A guy and a girl walk into a bar . . . Ah yes. The makings of a terrible joke. No joke here my funky friends. True story: So this racially diverse couple walks into this bar (and I say "bar" with no offense to other bars). Alas, we walk in and the first thought that pops into my head is, "What The F*ccccck (and THIS WTF is a slow motion WTF- all other previous WTFs are rendered lesser after this WTF). If the outside of this establishment looks shady, the interior takes this motif and kicks it up notches unknow to mankind. Let me explain. It looks like this place had been a strip joint in its previous life. Hell, some of its late 70's decor, bar chairs and carpet are still present and accounted for. Not knocking the place. Just different. For different people. Yes. The people: there were about 5 patrons when we arrived, all different, both in ethnicity, musical taste (Beyonce, the Ohio Players and Miley Cyrus were blasting from the juke box) and stages of sobriety. One white patron was passed out sitting up on his chair on what I can only assume was an old DJ both. When this cat woke up, he was escorted to the other side of the bar where he engaged in some conversation with what appeared to be an asian or really drunk mexican who couldnt open his eyes. These two argued about something or other then the drunk white threw a cocktail glass on the floor for God knows what. Cue glass everywhere. Yes. Free Friday night entertainment for the price of two modelos and a couple of songs on the jukebox. I like dives. But this dive I'm not sure is for me. I dont expect 5 star service or beverages or dives to be aesthetically pleasing. This place lacked windows, the men's bathroom was, well, half a bathroom as the wall between the sink and the toilet and pisser was half demolished and there were no paper towels and the hand drier was missing the ON button/motor. At least they had nice cinnamon apple scented soap. My hands appreaciated that little considerate touch. Overall, definitely an place to experience. With bodyguards in tow. It's a place to treasure as this shithole must be the original shithole from where other shitholes were born.

    This club is in my neighborhood so, I've gone there a few times for a few beverages. The bar tenders are always attentive and polite. I like the music that's played from their juke box.

    This place has a charging station for all phone types.

    Rift-raft Bar Rat (Aladdin tune) Leaving another reputable bar to experiment with how the other half enjoys their spare time.. I find myself pulling in to this make shift parking lot. Gravel?? Downtown?? Come on. So I step out of my car into the gravel. As I cross the parking lot, kicking away the used needles & torn condoms(Not to mention stepping over the broken dreams and shame of so many before), I walk in thru this heavy door into a dark red, sunken room. I sit on the closest seat and am created by a "wigga." Who is in a brief boxer underware and sneakers. He's clearly been drinking, if not more. We order a drink. Mine was a gin and tonic. Usually I have a lime in it but I figure the less this guys hands are in my drink- the better I'll be. The crowd isn't the normal but over all it's a great place to have a drink with enthusiastic people. And then drink was well mixed. Cheers

    Ask the Community - Cobalt Club

    Is it 21 and up or 18 and up ? Is this a bear hot spot

    It's 21 and up, wouldn't say it's a bear hot spot. I'd recommend the annex or Pegasus for bears.

    If you're looking for the ultimate place to catch every moment of the World Cup, look no further…read morethan Bar Three Twenty One. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, just steps away from Pinkerton's Barbecue and Legacy Park, Bar 321 has become a go-to destination for soccer fans, locals, and visitors alike. The first thing you'll notice is how clean and inviting the space is. In a city full of bars, 321 stands out as one of the cleanest and best smelling establishments around. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and built for having a good time. The drink menu delivers with cold beer, creative cocktails, and happy hour specials that make it easy to settle in for the entire matchday experience. Arrive early and challenge your friends to a game of pool, throw a few rounds of darts, or test your skills on the Pop-A-Shot before kickoff. And if halftime gets a little tense, there's plenty to keep the energy high between whistles. When it comes to the World Cup experience, Bar 321 gets it right. Every U.S. Men's National Team match is shown on the big screens with sound throughout the venue, creating the kind of atmosphere soccer supporters crave. No struggling to hear commentary over a jukebox this place understands the importance of matchday. Adding to the authentic football culture is the presence of Barra 76 San Antonio, the local grassroots supporters group that proudly calls Bar 321 home. When the Stars and Stripes take the field, expect chants, passion, and a crowd that lives every moment of the match. Whether you're a lifelong supporter or just looking for a lively place to enjoy the World Cup, Bar Three Twenty One offers cold drinks, great prices, a welcoming crowd, and an atmosphere built for soccer. World Cup. Cold Beer. Big Screens. American Outlaws? Maybe. But in San Antonio, this is Barra 76 territory. Sangre Lo Que Sea, Corazón Americano.

I'm visiting from out of town and I wasn't sure where to go to watch a boxing match. Thank goodness I came across Bar three twenty one! Plenty of seating and lucky for me it was not a busy night. Plenty of TV's including a huge (maybe 75 inch) in the middle. Not a bad seat in the entire bar. They have a full bar, my drunk was just ok, BUT I probably should have stuck with something more basic (I had a Henny sour). Definitely a good spot with a few arcades and a pool table. Check it out!

The outdoor patio open and rooming with a very large tree providing strategic shade. I look over their drink menu and order my standard Bulleit Rye Old Fashioned which is one of their "Classic Cocktails" on their menu. Our waitress was super friendly and stopped to chat with us more than once to make sure we were taken care of. My Old Fashioned came out and it was made well. Not too sweet or too much bitters....just right. Overall, I really enjoyed the evening on the patio and have to remember to stop here more often. Next time it will be for lunch to get a great burger.

First of all, they no longer offer chips and salsa! Margaritas and chips and salsa are the binge food of most San Antonians, but not at Bays anymore! Also, goodbye to Scotch eggs. The nachos, which used to be a glorious gathering of refried beans and cheese, are now tiny chips with strange black beans scattered over them and lightly topped with some unidentified cheese. Barely edible. Thank God they didn't mess with the chili, although when I asked for chips with my chili, I was told there were none. The nachos were made with chips, but I couldn't get any for my chili. I then asked for crackers, expecting at least some saltines. Nope, I got wheat thins. And the frozen margaritas are now snowcones. If there is tequila in them, I couldn't taste it. Our server kept claiming he was "new" so he couldn't answer our questions about the menu changes. But he was quick to point out that he worked for tips when he brought us the check. All in all, this was a VERY disappointing experience. Whoever is running Bays now has badly missed the mark on practically everything that made Bombay Bicycle Club what it once was. And that is so very sad.

My first and LAST experience at McFly's left a lot to be desired. There was very little seating available during the NBA finals, which I guess is to be expected, but when I did find seating, a very rude Mexican girl slid onto the seat next to me and attempted to make more rooms for her friends to sit down. When my friend came in, we decided to move to another table to avoid any issues. Shortly after this, a Mexican male came over and purposely blocked our view of the game, and when my friend POLITELY asked if he could move over some, she was told that it was her problem that she couldn't see the television. RUDE, MUCH? Then, another male came over and inserted himself into the discussion. A 'security guard' came over and attempted to 'quiet' things, but he was clearly taking the male's side on this issue. The 'security guard' proceeded to tell me that he was told that the Black female was the aggressor. WOWWW!!! WHY do Black people have to be the aggressors in situations??? These two Mexican males were clearly with the group from earlier, and decided to disrupt the time we were trying to spend watching the game. This is one of the WORST establishments I've ever experienced, EVER. If you're a Black person living in or visiting San Antonio, stay FAR away from McFly's!!! Save your money and find another establishment to go to! One that doesn't make Black people feel unwelcomed!
