Service is good, staff is friendly and quick. Good atmosphere and vibe. Here's what's wrong and I hope this reaches the right person. Y'all's restrooms need a good deep cleaning and daily. It's literally lingering like urine in the entire bar It's literally unbearable. read more

Dear owner, Please do a deep clean! A power washing the entire establishment would help it to not smell of urine! Do better and have a sanitary environment. Men's urinals are broken, women's restrooms are dirty! read more

Amazing service and great affordable prices! Went there with coworkers before our Friendsgiving dinner and it was an overall great time playing pool. Also, the restrooms are nice and clean! read more

I had a very upsetting experience during my visit. While I was in the restroom, an employee named Erin was vaping inside. The restroom was so smoky it was hard to see, and I'm not even sure whether it was a vape or something stronger. I didn't make an issue of it at the time. My girlfriend and I went into the restroom together just to speed things up, and Erin--who was in there the whole time--heard our private conversation. A short time later, we were kicked out for supposedly doing "inappropriate stuff." When I returned to get her name for a complaint, the employee at the front, AJ, told me Erin claimed we were doing "drugs," which is completely untrue. Erin was the only person smoking in that restroom. AJ refused to give me her name even though staff are required to provide that information when a customer wants to file a complaint. He was rude, dismissive, and even cussed at me and my friend while I tried to explain that we were simply in the restroom together--something I've seen other women do without issue. It felt like we were singled out. Erin and AJ were extremely unprofessional. This was one of the most disrespectful experiences I've ever had, and it felt like we were targeted because we're a same-sex couple, and they tried to justify saying half their staff is gay as well but still wasn't taking accountability about them wrongly accusing me and my girlfriend read more

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience at this bar. This is my favorite dive bar, probably only dive bar, in my neighborhood. The drinks are low cost and makes it easy on the wallet to order a double. During the day the vibe is super chill and you can mostly have the whole jukebox to yourself. Day time is for the grown and sexy and night time is for young and messy! The bartenders do remember you if you become a regular and they have amazing customer service.

Deol Bar & Grill - Shotsssss - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Two friends and I stopped in, searching for drinks and an outdoor patio to smoke a Cuban. On 1604 and Horizon Hill, parking is spare and cramped. This is a pretty basic place, no frills, a bit shopworn. VERY friendly bartender, but def not a graduate of mixology school, and her supply of liquors was a bit lacking: She was unable to prepare an Old Fashioned, as they do not stock bourbon/whiskey/bitters...really? I asked for a Beefeater gin and tonic, and it seems she didn't know that gin. I settled for a vodka tonic. But, if one is searching for inexpensive beers, and is indifferent to the physicals of the establishment, then this dive bar is the place for you. I'm pretty sure the local college kids enjoy Deol Bar. In truth, it reminded me of my son's college hangouts at UT Austin. Guess I'm a bit old for the place! LOL!! read more

The DJ was really good. Would not order mixed drinks here. Ours were very watered down. Maybe order just beer or wine.

bathroom is DISGUSTING!!! they fill there bottles with trash liquor. i know because i have an allergy to certain liquors... im an experienced enough drinker to know the difference.(i literally break out) i ordered the regular that i drink at other places and the drink i was served at deol made me have a reaction! read more

worker really said "you get better service if you tip". he didn't know but we put money in the tip jar. even if we didn't tip, we are paying for overpriced drinks. read more

Cute bar, great drink prices -$2.00 happy hour drink specials, good service. I highly recommend. read more

Deol Bar & Grill - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I will not lie, I was not enthusiastic about the place, it was reasonable but without a selection of draft beers, two pool tables that are full all the time, yes there were good prices but other than that nothing special, so if you just want a quiet bar in a quiet area this is the place. read more

What would you do if you found your car towed after parking in front of a sign that says "smoke shop parking only 10 am - 12 am"? The manager of the shop at this particular time came to find me at DEOL bar to tell me that I couldn't park there and he would have me towed. I was confused (as I'm assuming most ppl would be) because according to the sign the towing enforcement was over at midnight. imagine my surprise at this. So I walked out and realized ALL OF THE SIGNS there say the same thing. So I entered the shop to make it clear that if my car was towed that I would be fighting it according what the sign said. I also made it clear that i was not mad at him because he just works there, that I understood he was following ridiculous policies that didn't make sense. He kept saying how the "sign place" was at fault for making the signs wrong and how management wouldn't pay to fix them. I don't understand how that's the fault of people parking there following the rules of the THREE signs!! How does this relate to DEOL you might ask??? Their "door man who has to deal with this shhhhhhh$& nightly " Mr. Aron (or Aaron) cavalierly told me to F off and just go to the bar then to enjoy my 30 minutes. "why don't you just F off and go to the bar!" nicely done. read more

Deol Bar & Grill - Outside Patio - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The staff is amazing! The vibe is even better. Dive bar energy with great service. Chelsea was a 10/10. Coming back next week.

This place was bumpin' when I was there. It's another good dive bar to add to your list. Not only do they have great beats and karaoke on certain nights, they also have that awesome plywood/sawdust smell from the recently extended plywood bar. It really adds to the atmosphere y'all. Domestic beer is $1.50 all day, eray day, imports/craft are $2, and I *think* the well drinks are $2.50, but don't quote me on that last one. As the name (Deol Bar and *GRILL*) implies, yes, they do have a kitchen. The patio is decent too. It was late the night I was there, and although they were busy, it wasn't crazy and it wasn't hard to get a drink. Yes, there are a lot of college kids in this place, but there's also a good mix of adults hanging out just in case a serious decision needs to be made. Just keep in mind that this is a dive bar. You have been warned... read more

Wonderful bar and great bartenders! Great energy and attitudes all over. Will definitely be back for a second trip. read more

Deol Bar & Grill - Most amazing local. Wonderful atmosphere and bartenders! - Dive Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Good spot for a cold beer and good music and karaoke. I'm usually only here for happy hour and the staff and regulars are amazing!

barback n bartender give amazing service, u better hope the bitter old managers arent here ‍ apart from the managers everyone at the bar is so good read more

Cool place, nice clean bar. Stopped by early on a Saturday night to just have a few beers. Prices are good , bartenders were attentive however they had karaoke on a Saturday night. Same people singing over and over got annoying really fast. Would've stayed for awhile had it been for the karaoke on a Saturday. IMO Saturday's aren't good for karaoke unless you're a karaoke bar and if you are advertise it better. Won't ever go back here on a Saturday again. read more

Horrible place. If I can rate 0, I would. I was there the other night and went outside to call my ride. Bouncers would not let me leave to the parking lot but wouldn't let me back inside either. Wouldn't let me leave the patio area. Had no car keys on me, wasn't that drunk and am over 21. Had my id on me but it was never checked. Luckily my ride showed up a few minutes later but I will never be going back. read more

I am definitely not their target clientele and they made sure to let me feel that. This is a late night college bar, period. As the kids were leaving for the night, I saw multiple of them peeing on the ground in front of my hotel. Service was unfriendly, extremely slow and outright ignore people. Music was extremely loud, but they are definitely trying to target the club crowd. I really didn't like they wanted to hold my ID with my CC. Just a bad experience all around. The only comical part was the guy trying to sell me eyelash extensions. read more

I was sitting at the bar until a bouncer came and asked for my seat and took the chair as I was sitting it in. Definitely closed out after this happened . I've been coming here for a while and have never been told I couldn't sit in a chair . read more

Nice patio area and they make a good Bloody Mary. Have two pool tables, Jenga, and big TVs to watch sports.

They have the worst DJ ever. They told us "we do not play mexican music" we were asking for a more variated music.

Great small club atmosphere with friendly people. Awesome! Drink specials as well as shot specials. Big patio with couches karaoke Wednesday nights 10:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. also on Friday and Saturday 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. fun crowd the bartenders are friendly and always waiting to serve you read more

I went in and got a (FREE) table that had no indication that it was meant for bottle service. Which means no reservation sign or bottle service only sign for the table. They told us and another group that was sharing the other side of the table to leave because some ordered bottle service which is 100.00 dollars which is not that much comparing all the other bars that do better bottle service for same price in town. How is it fair to get kicked off of a free table and then get kicked out for no reason at all. Not my type of place and such disrespectful behavior from the staff that I will not go back. This is just a college bar to get wasted at and enjoy cheap drinks. Not a high end establishment. Restrooms are even disgusting and floor full of piss on the floor.... you can barely walk in. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. read more

If I can give them zero star, I would. I got kicked out even though I wasn't drunk or causing problems. Bouncers were straight up racists and rough on me instead talk me out. I said I would leave and I only had few beers. But the guy pushed me to the door for no reason. I should've called the cops because I can literally press charges on him for battery read more

I would first like to mention that I waited a good 20 min before I was ever acknowledged. I know what you're thinking-why didn't you leave?- and I would have left, had it not been for a friend I was waiting for. One bartender working tonight (black blouse, red headband, and dark hair with a ponytail) seemed to completely ignore any customer requesting a drink other than the one she was flirting with. The other bartender was outside smoking whilst the rest of us were frustrated. However, she was more apologetic and seemed as if she cared. With this being said, this is the perfect bar for college students who do not know/care about what customer service is. They have games available and the atmosphere isn't bad, patio could use some major work because water pools in areas after it rains. The bathroom was not great- toilet paper missing and the other toilet was not clean. I might return but it won't be my first pick. read more

Anthony is the best!!!! We love him, the service is great! Come get a drink and have a good time!

Went on a Tuesday night. $2 ANY BEER. Not just your mass produced beer, but your craft beer as well. Well hellooo - a bar after a my own liver. We got there at about 8 and there were about 15 people in this place, all from what it appeared to be from UTSA. Yup. College bar. The staff was friendly and fun. Enter 9 o'clock hour. Scores of early 20 somethings/college students just appeared out of nowhere and immediately proceed to the shots. Not one round, but at least 2. Yeah. This was going to start get pretty crazy in such a tight spot. I don't mind the crazyness. Hell, I'll lead the charge but when they show up and their B.O. smells like comino mixed with paprika, then yeah, San Anto tenemos un pinche problema. Anyway, we 86'd that joint and headed out to a country bar where the clientele smelled like a lightly used ashtray. Hey, you can't win them all but would definitely return...alot earlier or maybe when I'm numb from drinking and don't mind the smells. read more

I hate this place so much really, they didn't let my friend in cause they said her ID was fake. Okay it was.. but really bitch it's deols

Took my friend here for her first bar experience and she had som much fun! The staff is amazing and the music is great

Wow! I had quite an experience at this new bar! I came here with a friend at around 10pm on a WEEKnight, and it was packed. We were carded at the entrance by the bouncer, who was remarkably unpleasant...like we were putting a damper on his night by showing up haha... but anyway... Walked up to the bar, but were unable to get a drink because I am a woman and the female bartender was more interested in hanging out with a guy at the other end of the bar. Despite that potentially inaccurate assumption, we ultimately couldn't get any service for like 10 minutes. We finally found an empty booth and sat down, and about 5 minutes later a waitress came and asked us what we wanted. The music was incredibly loud (i mean, LOUD, we're both in our mid 20's and couldn't hear each other from across the table), so we moved to the outside patio where the environment took the brunt of the sound waves. The patio is nice and has plenty of seating available. There were multiple groups of people outside, and of course, a certain amount of creeps! While I had taken a phone call, an oddly behaving man began to slowly weave his way in our direction... and before he reached us, our waitress brought our orders of Mozzarella Sticks and Fried Pickles. They looked pretty awesome. However, this random guy has now sat down across from us. He has not said a word to either of us, and sat there for what seemed like a full minute before I was able to end my phone call. After doing so, he grabbed a mozzarella stick, dipped it in marinara sauce, shoved the whole thing in his cheek...got up, and walked away. We were in shock! Ha! Never in either of our experiences has someone been so weird, obnoxious, and rude like this! While I found the event to be hilarious, my friend was dumbstruck and furious. Deol did not offer an apology or any kind of goodwill in response to the actions of their patron. The bartender and waitress just kind of gawked and laughed at what had happened. Its funny, but it also completely ruined our evening at this bar. I was very disappointed in the staff both before this event and afterward. read more

Coming into this dive on a slow day, not expecting it to be packed of course. The aesthetics are pretty neat; UFC fights and big screens with pool tables in the background. A nice vibe, though they had a lone jukebox playing while there was nobody in their DJ booth. A collage of drinks displayed the back wall but was littered with an abundance of tiny clear plastic cups either by or on the glasses. The bar was ok, the service was pretty decent. Good place to sit and have a drink but, perhaps next time I come here I would change my mind for better or worse, whenever that is. Honest review is 5/10 but I had to pick one so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and plus, I heard it gets packed on Tuesdays due to their $1 wells, so we'll see. ;) perhaps it'll go up a star or two. read more

Nice bar, mixed music. All the staff is cool. Tuesdays and Thursdays with DJ Tone are my favorite. Karaoke changed to different night. Bottle service. VIP booths. read more

Hot girls only. read more

Holy cow! This place was a time machine back to college!!! Deol is the definition of a local dive bar. 75 cent wells and margaritas on Tuesdays and great prices every other day of the week, hence great place to pregame. Pool tables, and a nice little patio with lights. I went on a Tuesday and BEWARE - you WILL NOT be able to walk around anywhere. Too many college kids. Pictures speak for itself. But if you like this type of ambiance, feel free to check it out! read more
