    a bucket of beer and a glass of beer
    Rodrigo B.

    On any list that describes what you should visit in San Antonio, you'll have the venerable San Antonio Riverwalk, the Market Square, and the UNICEF recognized San Antonio Missions in the Southside. You'll also get lame recommendations like visting the alamo or the nearby Ripley's Believe It or Not, or some other cheesy venue. However, what you should visit are institutions in San Antonio's barrios, and in the Westside of San Anto we are talking about places like Roosevelt Park, Ray's Drive Inn, The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center and Jaimes Place. What sets apart Jaimes Place is it's hold on the heart of the Westside. Although the location was opened during the pandemic, Jaime Macias is following a tradition of his fathers in having a gathering place in the Westside. In essence what is a local dive bar in the middle of several tire shops and convenient stores that pepper the area, it's become a cultural institution as Jaimes Place holds movie festivals, poetry readings, art installations, car club showings, and DJ parties that keeps the spirit of San Antonio intact. It's the music gatherings that truly offer an experience to San Antonio. On any given weekend night, you might have Bombasta, a salsa cumbia brass 8 person band jamming out, a night of cruising classics spun by Crate Royalties, or a local Tejano band testing the bands sounds and you see San Anto at its finest. People dancing, cumbia lines forming, beers sloshing around, and people giving each other smiles and winks, enjoying la música típica. It's on these nights where Jaime's Place captures the spirit of El Mero Weso, where folks in work clothes enjoy a beer at the same time a vato y su hyna are dressed to the nines dance to Sunny and the Sunliners while a group celebrating a cuñadas birthday regal in that warm summer breeze... and you see what San Antonio truly is, beyond those terrible pamphlets and brochures you get at the Hyatt tempting you to visit a nearly 300 year old building. If you want to see, and most importantly feel San Antonio, make the 5 minute drive from San Antonio and get down James Brown to the sound of the Westside at Jaimes Place. Pro Tip: Say hi to Jaime as you walk in, you'll see him checking out the crowd. Tell him you read Rodrigo's review which prompted your visit. It won't get you anything free but at least he'll know I did put the review. Pro Tip: Get a bucket of beers as it's a great deal; they'll let you mix up the beers too so you can try several. Food isn't sold here so come after dinner or order it and have it delivered; plenty or tables to go around.

    Mas California in the westside.

    The drinks and service was great. Was a little disappointed that during fiesta they had a California band headlining. And today I saw a poster with the amazing shirt that says unbow your head but the hat in it is a San Diego hat. Pictures are everything and this place is becoming California based and that's just not the westside. The music and images of our community are everything and when I come here I want to feel at home. Not the California being pushed on us with the music from califas and sports teams. Let's have some pride in where we're from and the artist here. And then I saw more califas being rammed down our throats with future events. Really sad. First the Californians come buy our houses for cheap and now our spaces we thought were built for our barrio.

    Rode our bikes on a Pub Ride on Sunday, 2/20 and stopped here for Aqua Sol Sunday with DJ Despienada who was spinning some great tunes from Tejano, Rock and Funk that was nice on this wonderful winter day. The place had a good local crowd as we all enjoyed food, drinks and music. Service was super sweet and they had a couple crafts on tap (sorry Yuengling isn't craft...lol). Was going to the port-a-potty outside and a gentleman told me there were restrooms inside and I should look around. So glad I went inside to see this old house transformed into a nice area with sitting areas and stairs leading upstairs. This is a great place to enjoy the city feel with beer and food.

    In the heart of the west side is Jaime's Place. Pretty chill west side dive bar with the soul of San Antonio. There's good live music, great drinks and good vibes. I highly recommend their Blue Hawaiian, boozy but not overwhelming. I have yet to try the food so that's for the next visit.

    This place is neat. It's on the west side of town. Deep west side of town. And let me just say this. It's about time someone brings a touch of class to the west side. I mean, charcuterie boards in the west side?? Hell yeah! Let's show them the raza has some class! It's a Large place. VERY well put together and very clean. They seem to have a dj many nights. The only reason I have given them only 4 stars is because they're beer and wine only..... since I can't really drink beer anymore it really puts a damper on the things I can get here. If they will consider carrying some sorts of liquor at some point I know that we would come here MUCH more often especially since they are RIGHT down the street from the house.

    I love coming to Jaime's place. The food is good, drinks are cold and the music is immaculate. Jaime's Place is the heart of the west side, championing traditional Latino culture which has built the area and sharing it with other members of the community. It's a good place to come back to your roots and always feel at home. The wings and burgers are really good and always cooked to perfection. The outdoor patio is my favorite place to sit but there is indoor availability as well. Inside you will see San Antonio history , specifically as it pertains to the Macias family mixed in with some awesome artwork. The staff is also very nice and friendly. You always feel at home at Jaime's Place.

    Jaime's Place is the perfect place to go to listen to some good old Chicano Soul and Tejano music! It was a bit cold but they had affordable beer buckets and food specials! The kitchen closes at 10, but they had a little market in the inside of the area. It's an all outdoor venue but it's a great place to have family and fun. Great music to dance to!

    Such a fun place to hang out!! Beer menu longer than food menu. Not much on food choices but otherwise a great friendly place to hang out

    Jaime's Place is a great local bar and hangout spot for everyone. Children are welcome and you're always guaranteed a great time, a cold drink, and some great music! I enjoy visiting Jaime's place at least once a week and make sure to order the wings or the nachos every visit. I recommend Jaime's Place, which is located on a property owned by the family for many generations. They really do take pride in their work and hospitality.

    Great place to enjoy live music and get a feel of San Anto! Outside is spacious and all around a great feel. Enjoy art work inside and outside of Mexican-American culture!

    Nice atmosphere. Went for a party for a friend of mine. The prices aren't too bad for a bar. Liked the music too

    Is Jamie's place dog friendly?

    I would think so in the outside area, though I don't recall seeing any dogs the last time I was there.

    This was a fun venue. I loved that there was a huge outdoor bar area with lots of tables and…read moreeverone was comfortable sitting together and meeting each other. The bar staff were wonderful! Super friendly and attentive. What I didn't care for was the amount of smoking. I get it, we're on the outside part of the bar, but man the cigarettes and cigars was a bit overwhelming. I guess I didn't realize how prevalent it still is to smoke in public. On to the show... It was phenomenal. We stayed at the back because this lady couldn't handle a mosh pit at 20, much less now. We had a pretty good view, there was lots of dancing and singing, it was so much fun! My only issue was that some of the vocals were so low. It was sometimes difficult to discern the song being played. Not sure if that had to do with where we were positioned, but it didn't change the fact that we had an amazing time. I would definitely come back, but probably wait until closer to show time to arrive to avoid waiting in the smoking section.

    This was my first time going to this venue and with a friend who lives here. Parking is very…read moredifficult. We ended parked on a residential street in front of someone's home and not blocking their driveway. Bear in mind this venue is not a fancy concert venue. Some have even called it a dive bar. We attended a sold out show for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and there were other bands that performed on the smaller stage simultaneously. The start time seemed to vary per social media/business platform so we aimed to get there as close to the time as TRJA would be going on. I had the whole TSA like door experience even with my small, 7 inch body purse. Had to show them every pocket before being allowed inside. We went straight to the bar and I ordered the grapefuit mule which might as well had been called the grapefruit flavored ginger beer as it had not a single ounce of vodka in it that I could taste. So that was $20+ wasted on one drink (including tip). The ice quickly melted in the 90 degree temperature at 10pm so the drink got watered down as well. The venue itself is maybe 90% outdoors so I was glad I chose to wear a tank and shorts plus closed toed shoes as my friend warned me about that in advance as well. Being Emo Prom night and near a neighboring college, most attendees were very hyped up and crowd surfing. A lady busted through the crowd and stepped on my shoe that I was so glad protected my feet and I got shoulder checked by some emo dude that was like 6'4" which thankfully he apologized for unlike the lady who stepped on my shoe trying to get closer to the stage. In 90+ degrees, even in a mostly open air venue, my sense of smell which is every strong was being attacked at all times. Body odor and hot garbage smells filled my nose constantly. My friend had warned me about the restrooms in advance. We even went back to her place to grab her hand sanitizer before we went there. When I walked in, every single door had spray paint on it and questionable locks. I ended up in the handicap stall as all the others were occupied. It smelled awful in there but that's what public restrooms mostly comprise of. The water faucet is the kind you have to push in to keep running water over your hands to wash off the soap so I had an elbow to the faucet while washing each hand. Only one hand dryer worked so I had to wait to use that. The main stage has a covering with a few industrial fans that you could barely feel any air pump out of so to me it was not worth it to even stand under the covered part. Balloons from prom kept being tossed up near the fan so it got stuck in the back of the fan and staff had to keep turning them off to make the balloons drop off the back of the fan. The show itself was great and the side acts were great but man!!! I felt so disgustingly sweaty and stinky after we left. I took a long shower after we got back to her place. :-/

    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

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!
