The place it self is nice there's plenty of seating just don't know about the weekends.

We arrived on a Tuesday and the ambience was nice being that there was a few people I mean I like people but sometimes to much people in a somewhat speak easy place is not good I think y'all know what I mean it just was a good time for conversation and enjoying your drink especially as soon as your glass is empty the bartender ask "want another".

Honey, I am HOME! As…read moremuch as I'd like to, I won't gate keep. However I am admittedly in my dive bar phase- officially. There's a huge satisfaction in sitting right up on the barstools screaming for another round while there's good vibes and music blasting all around me. You also just can't beat these prices. There are specials almost every night of the week (Whiskey Wednesday, Draft Tuesdays, etc). Cocktail menu is diverse and delicious. Servers are just the right amount of kind and talkative. Also, live music??? Friday and/or Saturday nights. This is THE perfect bar for me. Whether I want to meet some cool people, play my favorite songs on the jukebox, listen to some local bands, catch the game, or ask the awesome bartenders to play family guy for me

Recently we hosted our Morrissey After Party at Bang Bang Bar, following the former Smiths…read morefrontman's sold-out January 10th performance at the Boeing Center at Tech Port and honestly, we couldn't have written a better script. Morrissey hadn't graced San Antonio in over 10 years, with past cancellations and postponements haunting fans along the way. So when he finally returned, San Antonio Moz fans showed up and showed out. Despite multiple after-party options across the city, fans from Brazil, the UK, Canada, Japan, and all across the U.S. chose Bang Bang Bar as the place to be on a cold Saturday night. Hosted by local emcee Ricardo Moz and Apollo DJ, the night turned into one for the history books. Bang Bang Bar is easily one of Texas' best dive-lounge bars...the perfect blend of gritty and cozy. Great cocktail program, solid beer selection, and a vibe that just works. The décor leans heavy into a 1950s-60s lounge aesthetic, with intimate spaces like the Blue Room and Yellow Room, perfect for groups of 7-10. Low lighting, warm atmosphere, and zero pretension exactly what you want for a night like this. Bang Bang Bar consistently supports local and touring acts, spanning punk, alternative, and DJ-driven nights, and this Moz Smiths Disco was no exception. It was wall-to-wall classics all night long. Major credit to Phanie and the Bang Bang Bar management they rolled up their sleeves, brought in extra bar staff, and handled an overwhelming crowd like pros. Fans waited up to 45 minutes in the cold, with a line wrapping around the building, and the energy inside never dipped. As the host of Panic On The Streets, I'm incredibly thankful to Bang Bang Bar for helping us pull off one of the best after-parties we've done in years. Fittingly, 2026 marks the 10-year anniversary of both Bang Bang Bar and Panic On The Streets of San Antonio and what a way to celebrate. Bang Bang Bar has long been one of my favorite bars in town, and after this night, that reputation is more than earned. Can't wait to do another Moz Smiths Disco here. -- Panic On The Streets of San Antonio

I've been here a couple of times and have always had a great time. The server/waitress was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable on what they offered. They were happy to answer my questions and I was never made to feel rushed. The bar itself has an awesome vibe. It's divey but offer fancy drinks. The bar has a stage (we've seen FEA perform there) and they have ample seating (tables, couches, stools, etc). I also enjoy how each couch area is its own living room setup (think of what you see when shopping for couches/coffee tables) and feel/vibe. I make it a point to come and visit this bar any time I'm in San Antonio. We love supporting Phanie and her bands in any way possible. Girl in a Coma and FEA 4ever!

I recently went to Toro Kitchen Bar & Tapas with a friend, and it turned out to be a great place to…read morerelax, enjoy good food, and catch up. The atmosphere is one of the best parts. It's stylish without being pretentious, lively without being loud, and has a relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay for another glass of wine. Whether you're on a date, meeting friends, or having a boys' night out, the ambiance hits the right balance. The tapas are definitely on the pricey side, but the food is very good, the wine selection is excellent, and the service was outstanding. Everything we ordered was well prepared, and the staff made us feel welcome without hovering over the table. This isn't necessarily the place you go when you're looking for the biggest portions or the cheapest meal. It's the kind of place you go for the experience: good conversation, great wine, quality food, and a comfortable atmosphere.

They were so nice to hold our table for us with the nutty traffic off bitters because of the construction! We had such an amazing experience with our server who gave thoughtful recommendations and suggestions. Everything that we had was amazing and you can tell that it was well made to order and fresh!! We ordered their Shawarma Spiced Wrap, kids Fried Chicken with fries and the The fried Chicken Plate with 3 sides, picked the salad, roasted veggies and their candy bar dessert! Chicken was just so perfectly cooked and flavorful!! Veggies were delicious and seasoned just right! Their Candy Bar dessert was just WOW! do yourself a favor and order that as a dessert, you won't be disappointed!! It's pretty rich but can definitely share if your heart desires (we got both the shared version and what's included in my plate) haha lunch menu overall was well priced and he'd good variety of options for all! Parking is shared with other businesses so it can be hard but depending on when you go, lunch wasn't too bad time frame wise! Also as you're driving towards it, it can be difficult if you're not familiar with going to that area.
